"once you've memorized the patterns it's so easy"

I'm sorry you lack basic pattern recognition skills. Right now on the ER board one of the kids of the people there is tearing through it.

Ah yes, the classic l33t g4Mer mentality of "it's not difficult, you just need to invest considerable time and effort to learn how to do it with near perfect precision, after many failed attempts where any slight failure is heavily punished. But it's not difficult."

I too hate games where I don't have instant mastery of all of its aspects and where I can't make constant blatant mistakes while playing it wrong and not get punished for my horribly sloppy play. I should be presented no difficulties at any point and my ignorance and lack of investment should rewarded.

Genuinely they're not that hard (most of the time), you just have to turn your brain on and stop trying to facefuck everything to death with no regard for strategy or situational awareness. Anyone who's beaten the OG Mario or Zelda or Sonic games or whatever other classics you want to think of can beat a Souls game.

Shockingly, when you refuse to play a game on its own terms because you're trying to play it like something else, you're going to have a bad time. Imagine trying to beat a Megaman game while constantly running straight into the enemies attacks and bodies even though there's contact damage.
