brestugo posted... This is the issue. everyone saying "git gud" doesn't seem to realize that it can take a lot of time. And there's very little fun in dying over and over trying to learn unless you resign yourself to the fact that you might struggle a long time to learn it and spend tons of time, time that could be spent having fun elsewhere.
You were better at the bad basketball analogy.
This, right here, is why there should never be an easy mode in Souls. Imagine - taking you at your word - all those things and winning anyway.
I win elsewhere too. Business, relationships, life. But winning at Souls is Triumph at gaming. Given all you said, the Souls player does it anyway.
So you had the tenacity to win? That's nice, I did too. But that has nothing to do with a casual player who likes the idea of the game but has too many barriers to overcome to play it and have fun.
