This is the easiest souls game to date

[Zorelnam]

what the title says, just got all the achievements for this game and honestly, this game is by far the easiest in the soulborne series, i am extremely dissapointed, the player is always extremely overpowered and the bosses barely stand a chance, not to mention the achievements are extremely easy to get too.
for comparison the achievements in dark souls 1 where a chore to get, which i liked, now the achievements are easily obtained by anyone

Alright, doing a no level up run in elden ring is kind of pointless though, i tried it in my ng+ playthrough and you cannot progress past the capital, even if you reject melina, i am dissapointed there is no maidenless ending, the game kind of suggests there is a way forward without taking melinas deal but in the end it's completely false

I mean of course there's no point, it's for the challenge and satisfaction.

dark souls 1 is very definitely much harder than this game, which makes sense taking into consideration from soft never made a better game than ds1

If you like chores, go wash dishes, and keep in mind that everyone has a completely different idea as to what is a chore and what is 'fun'. For example, I don't buy games to 'have fun' collecting their completely optional and typically external 'achievements'. Those are literally a sub-goal or an aside.

As for difficulty, of course it's the easiest. It's the game with the biggest list of tools at your disposal. Customizing your weapons with ashes and particular skills/statuses, jumping attacks and guard-counters, double-jump mounting and open-world terrain abuse, more item-choices, more build options across the board, (and so forth), and all that on top of the tools we've had from previous titles.

I can just imagine a game developer sitting at their meeting and announcing that they want to make a world this big and fill it with nothing but sweat-inducing nightmare challenges and even tougher bosses just for the sake of being 'difficult', which itself is subjective. I have only ever played DS3 seriously, and that alone makes my experience a lot different to someone who has never played a Souls' game before -- nevermind a veteran who has played every title and loves choring it up by getting all their achievements. Of course it's easier in that light.

i play souls games to have a challenge

I don't understand why the achievements dictate the difficulty of the game?
But anyway, you should try a no level up run if you really want a challenge, pick vagabond or samurai or whatever class, and only upgrade your weapons. I always loved doing this kind of run for ds3 and bloodborne, and in this game it's quite difficult.
If it still feels easy, you could not use spirit ashes, don't use sacred tears only golden seeds, try to abstain form using boss weapons.
I also personally feel demon's and ds1 are easier than this game on mechanics alone, you might just have played so many, you just naturally have experience for this one.

Sure, handicap yourself because the balance team can't do their work 🥴

the only class i play in these games is wretch, everything else is for noobs

That is....a take, I suppose. I'm having trouble understanding why it's a take, but it sure is a take.

Do you also discard your club at spawn so you can truly enter the world with nothing?

u should tarnished if u follow the path of GID GUD

It's not a souls game, it's breath of the wild, but even more Emo.

sounds like you've not done quite a few of the hidden bosses.

you mean re-used assets

[GamerNinja]

Its not easy if you dont use anything in the game with a blindfold on...or dont use certain skills / tools...stupid arguement. Cuz these kind of things could make alot of games harder. FPS game well if you only use a pistol its so much harder..and also boring.

i assume you're coming from having played most, if not all, of their other games, so of course you're going to have hundreds of hours of pre-practiced skill and muscle memory that people coming into this game for the first time aren't going to have, so calm your tits, no one cares what you think or is impressed about how easy you think this game is

*yep you have 600+ hours in the souls series

Agreed with Gigantoad - DS1 was loads easier. DS2 was easier as well, and beyond a boss or two that stood out, DS3 was mostly easier in my opinion. Not sure what rose-colored glasses some people are wearing. If you cheesed the game with a broke build, try it again with a different weapon. Challenge yourself. It's really not impressing anyone that you or anyone else believes this game is "easier". Good for you.

ds1 is a complete joke. lets see you kill radagon in 3 hits like godwyn

You handicap yourself because you enjoy the game and want to challenge yourself further.
As far as I'm concerned, a no level up run is the default difficulty for these games, and leveling up is the easy mode so normal people can get through easily.
