The atmosphere is really something else and somewhat related to our daily life ( SRS).
You die over and over, restart and do the same **** over and over. You turn hollow as you become mentally unstable of doing the same **** over and over...hey that's life right.

If you haven't played Bloodborne you should, it's the best Soulsborne game and in my top 5 all time.

Actually, a month ago I played Darksouls 3 and beat the game in about 35 hours and I thought it was easy as **** compared to Sekiro. I beat few bosses on first try, most of them i beat in 2-3 tries and the hardest ones i beat in about 5 tries. Compare that to Sekiro it took me 8 fukkin hours of constantly trying to beat Lady Butterfly because she was my first boss in that game and i went there when new and not knowing the mechanics well. The other hard one was the Father Owl (version that throws the owl which btw is optional FML) ...took me like 12 hours of constant trying and failing... All other bosses in sekiro maybe 1-2 hrs to beat.
First Fromsoftware game I played was Sekiro and i feel like Sekiro is a much harder and better game and also way more rewarding combat. Darksouls is all about rolling to get behind enemies and hitting them, while Sekiro imo actually takes skills and learning the boss movements, mastering parry and you feel like a god once you actually figure out the combat.
With Darksouls 3 i always felt like combat was cheap as roll is way too op for AI imo and also the amount of health, flasks, and how much they heal is way too much imo. With Darksouls you can farm to overlevel and fight bosses with Sekiro the only thiing you got is get gud.
I cant wait for Elden Ring to come out its the only game i am looking forward to and hyped for.

Dark Souls 3 wasn't so bad for me. None of them really have been except for Sekiro which I'm playing now. I might drop that chit honestly

They're all hard, but I found them fun hard. Sekiro was just a beatdown for me, but I kept at it because I am stubborn SOB.

I do really like the stealth aspects of combat but when I'm fighting someone who knows I'm there it feels like the speed of BB with no stamina cost, a greatshield from DS3 and an overburdened fat roll from DS1That was pretty much my experience.

40 hours in, level 56 and using great axe +6 Or claymore +5 mostly, able to get the dancer down to about 25%.
First time playing this style of game, took at least 10 hours to get past high wall and work out how the combat side of things.
Excellent game

I knew this kid, dumb as a rock, like his aptitude in every game was bottom rung and super low focus and always died in everything we did multiplayer or otherwise.
he beat all the souls games many times
literally every girl gamer who thinks they are edgy beat these games
anyone who unironically thinks these games are hard is goofy as hell

I struggle like mad during the beginning of pretty much every SoulsBorne game, but after enough repetition something just “clicks” and it’s a breeze from that point forward, generally speaking.
Legit happens to me with each and every one.
I’m playing Dark Souls 3 right now and my experience is that the main game is a little on the easy side for anyone experienced with SoulsBorne games, but the difficulty ramps up massively with the DLCs.

It’s no harder than Witcher 3 or Assasins creed combat. It will always just be dodge roll and parry and learning timings and cheese. Like those are always the same tools you have and it’s always the same paradigm. Over and over. That’s so basic. It’s no different ultimately than a classic PS3 time action sequence where you have to time a button press.
It’s ultimately no different or more complex than Parrapa the Rappa
Srs
Just timing a button press
Meanwhile an actually hard game like dota you have to master a whole universe of things and dynamics
But no, you think because you pressed a button at the right time during an animation of a scary CGI entity it’s hard
Just lol

Those games need a mode for non neckbeards that's still rewarding but not rage inducing
