Bloodborne difficulty VS Elden Ring difficulty

[arenaynieve]

I need your opinion guys. Especially from those who had the privilege of playing Elden Ring earlier (I like calling them precious snowflakes xD. Keep in mind there is no ill will. I know they create content and therefore they get to play earlier) But first things first.

Last weekend I cleared my 1st blind playthrough of Bloodborne and I really liked it. I guess even without guides, STR characters are pretty solid, reliable and overall victories are achievable. Obviously I died a lot, learning mechanics, git gutting at dodging and so on Father Gascoigne, you are a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, really. Wthout cheesing him , I think I would never have prevailed... And Gherman, omg... I still remember how hard my heart was beating in the last moments of the fight. There was a moment, I swear I had no idea why I was spamming O, X or triangle button xD, it was intense

You might be thinking "Weird flex, but ok" however thats not what this is about, there is more. Turns out I gave the game a 5 day break and returned to try a dex build instead of resuming NG+. I thought "Well, I know all this part of the game. There shouldnt be any problems" Damn, how wrong I was... The game literally knocked me down and ruined the rest of the evening. Yes, I am looking at you Father Gascoigne, congratulations ^^. I felt just as if I was a noob again and lost my interest to keep playing.

So, my questions are:

1. How difficult is Elden Ring compared to Bloodborne?
2. How ungrateful will be Elden Ring compared to Bloodborne?

If I need the same level of commitment than keeping my diet full of protein 24/7/365 nonstop and making reps in a gym to see progress and more important to keep that progress (which I think that is the message Bloodborne punched in my face) then... well... maybe Elden Ring isnt for me perhaps?

Thoughts/opinions/experiences?

I really wanted to buy it but... now I am on the fence... =/

Amy was the hardest/cheapest fight as far as my memory goes, but, I'd have to watch them all again to recall everyone.

She can oneshot you in her most difficult chalice incarnation.

For an early boss, he is brutal, not as bad as Blood Starved Beast, but still pretty bad. I get sumnoned for him way way more than Cleric or BSB, or even Vicar

its all just subjective i guess, i get wrecked my fair share but everyone always seems to have different struggles ive always found Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos and blood starved beast very easy but thats thats just me, i think i find Martyr Logarius more difficult than all of those.

Its probably going to be on the same difficulty as Bloodborne. Bloodborne was supposed to the the easier game that dark souls.

If nothing else, I wont have to farm blood vials.... So thats a bonus. Right xD?

Still baffled that they went back to a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ farming system after designing the perfect system for Dark Souls....

[FireShark]

I beat BSB and Gascoigne on my first try. Ludwig gave me the most trouble. Probably 25 tries.

Elden Ring is From's biggest game, with most variety. I think the game will be easy or hard depending on your playstyle, char build, and especially the order you do things.

bloodborne difficulty really start on dlc bosses and lower depth chalice dungeon. chalice dungeon are the hardest thing i've played in a from software game.

The normal enemies were hard simply because the RNG could spawn some nasty ass encounters.

Mind you this wasn't good difficulty, it wasn't well crafted or interesting. It quite frequently spawned a bunch of Zerg rushing enemies that overwhelmed you.

Amy for me was pretty random. I mean xD, I just began to swing my weapon everywhere. I had no idea what was going on. Sometimes, I was hitting for big damage and sometimes for 12, 22. Hahahaha. She fell at 3rd try.

BB was super easy comparatively but i only got to play no DLC through PlaystationNow PC streaming. Ive herd its DLC is some of the hardest content around but cant confirm or deny.

I think more than anything it all depends on what you find adapts and you are good at. some find BB easier, some find it harder than DS series. Assuming elden ring follows that well who knows i hope harder

Aside from Orphan of Kos and a few encounters its DLC is severely overblown in terms of how difficult it is.

[awanderingswordsman]

Orphan and the shark giants are quite hard compared to other souls stuff but that's about it. Maria was above average difficulty but not super hard. Actually Ludwig is fairly challenging as well.

BB besides a few bosses, is EASY asf. the only game i came close to platinum without even trying. i could do it too if i felt like slogging through 30fps one more time.

LOL

You do know that Bloodborne is usually considered the hardest souls game.

By who?

[ImHelping]

Bloodborne is cool but I will never forget feeling good for stumbling my way into beating gascione on the first try ("He has a second form? thank GOD! now molotovs won't sail uselessly over his head even when he is standing still." ) getting kind of drained by seeing a lot of manchildren claiming that if I think them increasing the price of everything including throwing pebbles in the shop is silly then I'm still a filthy casual baby too lazy to farm pebbles from crows.

To swing it back to souls games. I finally beat Darksouls 1 when DS2 came out to get into it fresh. And was met by people going through a revolving door of "Dodging is just like the last game you idiot you are just bad dodging isn't worse!" then after I googled up warrior has less I frames than a DS1 fat roll no matter what until you grind substats like an MMO, those same people U turned to "Oh well I thought it was obvious the whole time I frames were different." Even knowing I was actually handicapped let me beat the next few bosses without dying as I MMO ground that up instead of trusting "Hard but fair" getting my face slammed.

Remember. In any franchise, there will be people who think inconvenience is the same thing as challenge. Then whine like babies when the boss they were busy hyping up as "Only pure master gamer skill can even THINK of beating them!" is actually EZ boss for babies if you beat it, because you didn't hamstring yourself and beat it with a donkey konga drum set.

Even super easy games with food replicators in your spawn point will get local alien fruit that makes you vomit blood if you eat a few in one sitting nerfed by people screaming "But it grows on trees! you don't have to replant it! TOO EZ" and you cope by using your livestock spawner that doesn't even drain power. gosh, good thing they nerfed the item with slightly less button presses involved.

Nobody gushes about the actual genuine "Hard but fair" parts of games because it isn't scraping the gutter for the next goalpost shift to say anyone who eventually succeeds doesn't count.

Imagine if people were more prone to suggest DS1 warrior "Because Kite shield has both 100% physical resist and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ parry frames" instead of trying to shame new players into handicapping themselves.

Or stop crying the Mikiri counter in sekiro is EZ mode to struggling sekiro newbies still having it rough after they unlock it, and instead warn them it isn't actually strong until you unlock Shinobi eyes.

Nobody who says "Git Gud idiot" actually wants you to get better. Because if they did, they would point you to how a game actually works so you can ♥♥♥♥♥ slap it in the face even with a trash build you put together basically at random.

You know, like the knight's crossbow in DS3 everyone says is trash. That turns the boring flying dragon first phase of the nameless kind into duck hunt on a budget because half lightning hand crossbow you can upgrade with basic titanite wrecks it's face even without lightning ammo.... Nah, gotta scream at people to Git Gud or respec their entire build to gimmick dragonslayer weapons that do ♥♥♥♥ all to the second phase. That proves you are a learned veteran of the game who knows what you are talking about to newbies because... uh... reasons.

[awanderingswordsman]

Who the heck is telling anyone to respec for nameless king 1st phase? It's probably the easiest dragon fight of the series. You had to fight harder dragons to reach him.
