way way too difficult,,,no fun at all

[leonardm423]

too difficult at every turn

[Fineous🔥]

Working as intended. What i can say? go and play Asterigos.......this is not a joke, Asterigos is an amazing game but more forgiving. Just endure....and play both!

[GamerMans72]

the game isn't even that hard

[Pyle]

i felt the same thats why i did not touch a souls game in a looong time.. but since i started elden ring im having such a blast i might look into the other souls games..
yes it is hard at times but also rewarding. to me it felt really good to beat a boss i was stuck at the day before or even getting to the next grace
getting and trying different weapons is also fun and might even transform you from being a bloody pinata into a killing machine..
most of anything i enjoyed the hell out of exploring, cant even remeber when i had so much fun running around and looking for stuff in any other game
play a bit more, stay under 2 hours and decide again

Fishing for clowns methinks.

"Depending on how you play it" Elden Ring is the easiest of the souls-like games (even considering summoning other players), "depending on how you play it" it is the hardest and most unforgiving.

Elden Ring is full of tools to make the game easier but also is full of stuff to make the game harder, how hard or easy it will be will depend on how you decide to play it.
If you go bang your head against Tree Sentinel or Margit with starter char, then it will be hard, if your char is a wretched/deprived then it will be even harder and if you dont go anywhere else either to get better gear, more lvl or even to understand more and improve at the game then it is all on your own fault about the difficulty.

Like every single souls-like game, buttom mashing is punished with hits and if your health is too low then it is easy to die over and over without doing anything to the enemies/bosses, being more tanky just mean more leniency toward it but even tanking and behind a heavy shield it still needed to understand basic concepts and mechanics to get through bosses and enemies, so it is not exactly "brain-dead" for that either.

Just play it more like a game of chess and less like a power fantasy rpg and, depending on how you decide to play and what tools you find through the game, it may very well become a power fantasy rpg, that untill M****** b**** of M****** decides to keep at never knowing defeat, but if that comes to that situation and you feel like you are worn out and want help, there is always the forum and someone to come to your rescue and teach M****** to know defeat

[Lenox]

The difficulty is due to two things: your hands and lack of knowledge.

We can fix the latter for you on these forums. The choice is yours.

This is a really serious answer for a really stupid post

[Dragonirian]

This is not even bait. This is a whole fishing pole.

[ZeroC00L]

Sounds like a skill issue

[Daegon]

Yep, skill issue + Git Gud.

[TheRemoGames]

Hard games aren't for everyone

[UnholyDentist]

They should totally make Git Gud emotes and awards for Steam.

Dont know what this has to do with Elden Ring though >-<

Elden Ring is not a hard game if you choose to use all the op stuff in the game
