well me too lol

some of my difficulty with demon's souls might honestly have just been due to lack of experience because i never really felt the need to cheat in a souls game after that[/spoiler]

[Thyme]

well... except for pikachu and snorlax, dark souls' bosses were easy

[Kalahari Inkantation]

so it's not just experience, then, demon's souls is legitimately the hardest

i doubt bloodborne will be close to as difficult as demon's souls, especially because some of its challenge is not just because of enemy difficulty but also because of poor or unfair game design decisions that were recalibrated in subsequent souls games

john, what's your opinion

how does it compare so far to the souls games lol

umm... playing offensively takes some getting used to, but other than dying to some (admittedly hard) normal enemies, the 2 bosses I fought so far, I beat them on my first try.

but maybe that's because the game is more fast-paced in it's combat than Souls, and I play quite a few action games. it's still calculated combat like souls, but faster, and less shield-y.

I'd say as far as normal encounters go, it's harder than DS2, maybe on par with DS1 and Demon's, and as soon as I find a boss that fucks me up, I'll let you know.

the bosses are quite intense though and I love that

also I fell for the oldest trick in the from software "you're an idiot" book....

an item in plain sight with an enemy hiding around a corner

[TooB]

welp, found the first boss to kick my ass....
6 attempts now.....

[The Hand That Fisted Everyone]

actually welping at kaz's post but yeah that doesn't help

demon's souls is still the hardest souls game

and if you can beat that, you can probably beat bloodborne lol

i beat demons souls no problem but couldnt beat dark souls 1

did you actually get stuck or did you drift away from it out of disinterest lol

it's tempting to frisbee the disc into the nearest trash can in frustrating areas like shitetown

fuck the Blood-starved Beast.

stupid dead poisoning asshole

[Kalahari Inkantation]

have you been to any of the chalice dungeons yet

i'm worried they'll suck or get old really quickly as a result of being procedurally generated

some are procedurally generated, but some will be fixed dungeons.
I got one from the blood starved beast but haven't tried it yet

did my first chalice dungeon.
it's cool how they turn the game into a rouge-like dungeon crawler.
very interesting
