I was in same boat

Nioh was my getaway

i have difficulty beating large size bosses due to not seeing movement clearly. i have defeated valkyries in god of war but people say souls bosses are even tougher

thats whats so great about soulslikes! if you are just bad at it, it wont let you play it! thats why it separates players into worthy and unworthy! we can argue about gameplay all day, but i generally dont have to with people that CAN actually play the game. there is way more truth in "git gud" than people like to recognise!

yeah i don’t honestly care about someone recognizing my skill. i think souls games are niche and don’t appeal to masses. it separates the try-hards from regular folks trying to enjoy

I think that's less a matter of taste and more a matter of whether you enjoy that kind of challenge-reward loop. Some (maybe most) people simply don't get much satisfaction from pushing through frustration to eventually master something... and that's perfectly fine... i guess I just wouldnt act all proud about it
