What "git gud" folks actually mean

[Applesmack]

They gatekeeping the way you should play the game you paid for. If they had it their way everyone would only be allowed to pick a level 1 wretch and would be forced to beat the entire game with a club and loin cloth. They don't seem to understand that when the game has nothing but challenge going for it the game isn't good. Lame level design, ♥♥♥♥ gear, no good builds, game is artificially long due to mandatory (unless you masochistic) grind and finally many bosses are RNG who fake their attacks and are designed to be hit in the back while distracted by summons. From Software needs to stop doubling down on the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ part of this game and start creating options for all players to play like they want. Stop pandering to the "git gud" loin cloth crowd.

I agree in a way. Souls games aren't good because "hard LOL". They are good because they are a good mix of challenge, great level design, world and atmosphere. If FromSoft panders too much to the people who think they have something to prove by being good at a "hard" videogame, their games may suffer in the end.

There are still many, many ways to "cheese" the game and make it easier.
But naaaaaaaah, better complain instead of learning to play the game.

I don't want to "cheese" the game. I want to use strong weapons. Not defeat the boss with a gimmick strategy like abusing terrain or hitting the boss in the back with spells while it is distracted by summons. I want the incentive of being rewarded with better gear than I have. It gives me motivation to play. Crazy to me how an RPG dev like From Software doesn't understand this.

Good thing then, because there's still a ♥♥♥♥ ton of those.
Spamming one OP ash of war was a cheese strat btw.

Challenge is literally one of the first staples of gaming.
You, the game and you have to beat it.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Mario is literally this.
Get real kid.
Your problem is that you don't have the guide holding your hand through the whole game. There is an easy fix - play another game, the market is over saturated as hell, the choice is endless. 80-90% of modern gaming is lazy handholding with no challenge, why you want to ruin one of the last real games with fair challenge? Beyond me...

Oh yeah... GIT GUD.

Keep basing your self-worth on gatekeeping a videogame...

Mandatory farming ? Unless you skip enemies and whole areas you end up "overleveled" for like 80% of the game.

Also stop misusing the word "pandering", it's getting tiring.

I guess you missed the Cazador metldown.

I was there, wow it was bad.

In one post he was wishing countries would be attacked by Russia, telling people they are worthless and beneath him in his "ivory tower", asking people to tell them where they're from so he can attack them with "basic racism", implying he was going to do something hurtful to himself or someone else.

Would make a maidenless joke but the guys a trash human being and doesn't deserve any humour at all.

eat dung & git gud

It's still here and probably one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. The man absolutely lost it.

Dunno, this version seems more accessible than any one before.

Saves are finally next to boss locations instead of miles away with enemies in between. So I no longer get bored of repeating boss fights and WASTING my time on getting to them every time I die like what happened in previous games. I always found that in old games to be terrible mechanic decision that made absolutely zero sense.

Plenty of builds it seems, and even more ways to cheese enemy bosses. Also no wasting items to summon players it seems.

I dunno. Compared to plenty other games out there, level design is great.

Frankly, I enjoy playing this new version of Skyrim. Dragons been fun to fight so far.
