Schwarz 05/02/20 12:08:57 AM #13:	I played 1 once upon a time and gave up REALLY DANG QUICK because I had no idea what kind of game it was and didn't have much to compare it to. Wasn't use to the difficulty or the build creation or the gameplay or having to kinda find my own way around. The graveyard kicked my ass and then New Londo kicked my ass and I was like alright I'm done with this, lol. Then I played Bloodborne quite a bit later and I understood that one much better. Finished it and that was a good gate into DS3, tried DS2 and it was fantastic, tried DS1 again with all my new knowledge and while it felt really clunky still compared to the rest, I enjoyed it a lot.

ssjevot 05/02/20 12:24:16 AM #18:	I bought Demon Souls when it came out because I liked the King's Field/Shadow Tower games. It was quite a bit different than them, but I played a lot of 3D action games like Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden, so I was okay with a game being hard. That said I made a magic build my first time and that actually becomes overpowered very quickly in Demon's Souls. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss <cite>ssjevot posted [p:938464127] in Question f...

MabusIncarnate 05/02/20 12:30:30 AM #21:	Yes, my first souls game was Dark Souls, and I was committed 100% once I started experiencing it. The sense of discovery, the brilliant enemies, and the overall RPG feel to it drove me to beat it. I thought I would quit and never touch it again before I played 10 hours, but it's legitimately fair in it's difficulty. I learned from my mistakes, I didn't get frustrated and never wanted to break my controller.

UnfairRepresent 05/02/20 12:51:45 AM #34:	Nah Souls games really aren't that hard, they are more tests of patience more than anything else The vast majority of deaths in Souls games are caused by people getting complacent or panicing and screwing up.

Did any of you start one these games thinking you would never be able to beat it (due to what you have heard about them, and what you experienced in the beginning of the game), but managed to overcome and complete it? Not exactly. I didnt know much about the Souls games, except that the knights and dragons looked cool and I read it wasnt easy. Bought the first one (Demons Souls), played and then quit after less than an hour from getting frustrated at several deaths. Shelved the game for almost two years, then committed to finishing it after getting tired of seeing it gather dust.

I didnt know much about the Souls games, except that the knights and dragons looked cool and I read it wasnt easy. Bought the first one (Demons Souls), played and then quit after less than an hour from getting frustrated at several deaths.

If game developers were required by law to follow minimum standards for certain game controls and functions, you would see a groundswell in the number of people becoming gamers, playing different games, including these "hard games", and forming or joining communities for discussing them. --- '~' <cite>andri_g posted [p:938466251] in Question f...

I am much more inclined to believe they will fuck things up, rather than help in any way. The only justification (read: fair) for their interference is if they subsidize a developer. --- ... <cite>Lorenzo_2003 posted [p:938472642] in Question f...

Pulysses 05/02/20 10:14:56 AM #48:	I went in knowing nothing about it but memes. Never would have bought it myself but my friend gifted me Dark Souls for christmas one year or something. I died a lot in the first game especially. There were a couple times I thought I wouldn't be able to beat it. Mostly because I was 1v1'ing every NPC I came across (with my bare hands). Andre was a tough fight for unarmed, underleveled, noob me. When I found my boy Richard and saw he could upgrade my shit (and I couldn't punch him to death) I was inspired enough to finish. Bed of Chaos made me consider quitting again tho --- Hairistotle <cite>Pulysses posted [p:938478925] in Question f... [t:78648634]...</cite> <quote>I went in knowing nothing about it but memes.
