I quit playing them. The only one I actually finished was DeS. The others I just gave up. Still had a blast though. Gonna buy DS3 one day and probably gonna love it but also never finish it.
This leads me to my point. People say the best part of the Souls series is overcoming the tremendous odds, finally beating a boss that seemed near impossible when you first walked through the fog gate. And, yeah, I get a little of that, but its not really that satisfying. I remember beating Ornstein and Smough and honestly, all I can remember is just the relief that I could finally proceed. I dont view it as an accomplishment. In fact, I think I just got a lucky roll of the dice.
Exactly.I would say don't avoid summoning, it's in the game explicitly for that reason.
I feel like anyone who is somewhat decent at games can beat any of the Soulsborne games. Some things might take longer than others, some people will need more help from Summons. But I don't think you actually need to gitgud
I've seen people here on GAF rage quit on dark souls 3 because the path to the first boss was too difficult. Literally two minutes into the game. That won't help in those cases.Bloodborne:
Play BB vanilla (uninstall, if already installed)
Do dupe Bloodstone shard glitch
Get to level 150 in an hour or so
Update game
Enjoy painless pleasure
Dark Souls:
Dupe glitch boss souls
Level 150 in no time
Enjoy painless pleasure
Demon's Souls:
Do dupe item glitch
Level 150+ in no time
Enjoy painless pleasure
Who needs git gud?
Easy mode is baked into all these games.
Despite what some people seem to think, mindlessly mashing your head against a brick wall for hours on end is not "doing the Dark Souls thing". If you actually want to "get good", you need to try to analyze what you're doing wrong and then either change your approach in response (in Dark Souls this is the answer 90% of the time), or just practice the specific skill that is lacking. If you truly are unable or unwilling to do this, then it's true that you will never "get good", but it's not because of a lack of technical skill on your part.So, I did the Dark Souls thing. I tried until I got it. Over many months I would occasionally jump in and try again, to no avail. I never really improved. I even dedicated one day to as many as 15 attempts in a row, which took several hours (the gauntlet to the final boss has 5 enemies, takes about 10 minutes each time depending). I knew that I would get it eventually, right?
It doesn't sound like you are leveling up properly. You are doing something wrong here. These games are not really that hard per se. You can overlevel yourself if you have too much trouble.

I will live the same life I was living until that pointless realization
Gives me flash backs when I first started souls series with demon souls. Tower Knight was wrecking the shit out of me. Took me ages to finally beat him and now when I go back he is a piece of cake.
That's step one of changing strats - last longer!I was trying to change tactics each time, but the inherent problem was I would die in only a few hits, making it difficult to even begin to try a strategy.
Seek misery.
For misery will lead you to greater, stronger souls.You will never meet the King with a soul so frail and pallid.
Yeah. There is this kind of unspoken (or maybe it's spoken) idea that summoning for bosses cheapens the experience of the game. It doesn't. If you're not enjoying a boss fight and can't get past it, summon. It's a major mechanic in the game don't be afraid to engage with it. I recently finished my first Dark Souls game (III) and summoned for four of the bosses. Some of the fights were just not fun for me to engage withIf you never get good, than you either use summoning like mad or stop playing. I would say don't avoid summoning, it's in the game explicitly for that reason.
But if you don't enjoy it, it's not for you and that's OK.
Just started playing Bloodborne last night. Never played any dark souls games, played demons soul for a bit when it first released. So I spent about 2 hours playing it and kept dying and reason for that was cause I was trying to kill every enemy i ran into. I later realized that I can just run past pretty much all of them. I chose the pistol and that thing just feels useless....can't aim for shit. Made it to sewers before I had to quit to sleep.
I know I'm not that far into the game but I expected this game to be more like Castlevania, atmosphere wise but it feels more like devil may cry.
Anyways I don't hate the game, it's just that this is one of those games where you have to invest some time into it. So I'm gonna have to put it aside for now. Have Splatoon 2 coming in the mail today, still need to finish botw and I haven't even started Horizon, Persona 5, and Witcher 3. Will get back to it some other time.

Usually at that point is when I quit a game. If to advance I need cheats or make another person play it for me, it mean isn't worth continuing.
The skill levels of certain players only getting through with the help of summons, that I saw when invading, definitely supports this idea, lol
