I've come to the conclusion that Fromsoft games aren't for me.

This but after 0 hours.
I'd create a new topic mimicking you but people already know I hate Souls games.

They are for me, either. What exactly turns you off from them

I love Fromsoft games. Bloodborne is a top 5 game of all time easy

I dont think Ive ever tried them. Though, Ive seen some played. But I dont think Id have the patience to play the game well Haha Plus, while I like a challenge, some of the stuff in those games seem really hard

The thing about Fromsoft games is, typically, the difficulty curve flattens out pretty early on. And, actually, with a little bit of grinding, you can outlevel the game pretty easily, as long as you stick to a build and use appropriate weapons and spells, combat can become trivial. Bosses only have a limited number of things they can do, so eventually you'll learn the patterns and how to react to them. And don't worry about dying. You're gonna die in a Fromsoft game. But the game is fair. There's no cheap deaths.

And, what I love about Bloodborne specifically so much, is everything is super aggressive, and the only shield in the game is a piece of crap, so in turn, you learn how to be just as aggressive as the enemies. Bloodborne's combat is designed to make you play as riskfully as possible, and because of that, it's extremely fun.

I don't know, this kinda feels like saying, I bought a 100 pack of twinkies but after eating 50 of them, I realized they are not really for me.

Idk. I just always hear my co-workers talking about those kinds of game (Eldin Ring more specifically recently) Its sound interesting. But like a little too much. Like all the different builds (Im so bad at building characters like that). And Im not sure I want to over-level myself. I feel that could take away from a game... And while being aggressive in games is fun, Im not usually the aggressive one. Haha. That said, they seem like fun. But maybe not my cup of tea

It went from being challenging and fun, to frustrating and tiresome. Dying because I wasn't aware of how strong my enemies were is fine. Dying because i didnt understand a bosses patterns or abilities is fine. Dying because some asshole offscreen chucks a giant magic urn at you is just annoying.

It's not like there isn't fun to be had, but the trial and error aspect wore me down over time. When I was younger I loved that style of play, but I'm old and crotchety now. Losing progress and time is no longer fun.

Better to put 50 hours into it, than one guys video I saw on Youtube he attacked the first NPC you come across then got pissed when the NPC proceeded to kick his ass over and over, called the game crap and claimed he would return it Gamestop.

Keep in mind for that first NPC you have to attack him more than once for him to aggro.
