I almost feel like this topic MUST be trolling.

Also, wait until you've played the game to claim that it's this and that combined.

I've played the network test, and I'll tell you that it is definitely not skyrim and dark souls combined. It was more like a bit of bloodborne and sekiro, mixed with all of darksouls, then mixed with Witcher 3 plus more.

I'd say that there is actually not very much in common with skyrim at all. Maybe some things that most open world games have but that's about it honestly. It's definitely something new, even if it feels very similar in some spots.

Also, the difficulty is rather higher than you might think. Especially as you go on. The enemy difficulty goes up a lot faster than other souls games imo. Once you think you have figured stuff out, you'll be facing even stronger and stronger enemies. I'd say the difficulty is up there around or above ds3-sekiro. It's harder than bloodborne imo too.

It's probably the best game I've played so Far, even being a network test.

Sweet, thanks.

But I know from experience with Soulsborne games that everybody ranks the difficulty differently. Like I would say Sekiro is a lot harder than all of them and that Dark Souls 3 is possibly the easiest of them all other than the last couple bosses. Actually, I thought Demon's Souls was the easiest, but I only played the remake.

Dark Souls is harder than Hades. I assume you're just weirdly bad at what's one of the most casual roguelikes, good at one of the Dark Souls, or you got carried by an easy build in the latter. If you're really not trolling your lack of gaming skills then I don't know what to say about your unique view on difficulty. Also Hades has difficulty settings, so anyone who doesn't bother to learn or git gud can just toggle that on and pass it eventually. Fromsoft has yet to cave in to casuals, and that's part of why they have their reputation as hard games.

I dont understand how you can unironically sayyou lack gaming skills when youre saying that most people find dark souls hard and I didnt. I never said I struggled with Hades. I said Hades was harder than dark souls, because dark souls isnt a difficult game

How is it harder than dark souls then
dark souls really wasnt hard at all. Again, the difficulty was overhyped. Someone said not to bring up old games, but kingdom hearts 2 was more difficult

dafuq. KH2 is basically a baby game outside of some post game Final Mix content.

I will discuss Elden Ring with you!

It looks fine but Im over open world games

TC never posted again. CE took the bait.

It is obvious from all the arguments that you have a different sense of what is and is not difficult vs almost everyone else. Just stop.

It says it has a character creator, how indepth is it going to be?

I dont understand why you need to be so passive aggressive either

I don't think you know what passive aggressive means. I am being direct.

You don't have to find Dark Souls hard, but you are acting like that is fact.

Lol I don't think you misunderstood anything or owe an apology. I just think our opinions are skewed differently in terms of how relativity affects the relevance of a game's difficulty.

Ahhh, gotcha gotcha. Truth be told I've had covid for about a week now and can really feel the brain fog, so my reading comprehension may have legitimately taken a hit

Im not saying its a fact the game is easy or hard. Im saying its a fact its difficulty is overhyped

Overhyped by the types of game journalists always demanding an easy mode, most definitely. Overhyped by the fanbase? Only slightly, that's kinda subjective anyway tho

I personally agree that the difficulty is overhyped, especially because it has become a shorthand for describing games as difficult. However, you also called it "extremely easy". That is what caused all these arguments (not the overhyped part), as well as subsequently naming games that most people find easier.

Skyrim was wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle
dark souls has no story and the difficulty was overhyped and extremely easy

Tell me you didn't play dark souls without telling me you didn't play dark souls.
