I dont think there is one "Fun" Boss in this game

[HerrBlitz]

Just like title says, you either cheese everything with magic or suffer this games horrible rhythm, input reading, and rely on mimcry. No matter how much I try to like this game, im on my third play through and everything is just lame. No stamina on some of these bosses mean they will just move around non stop. Most of these fights would of been handled better in turn based combat, because 90% of the time im waiting for a boss to do something because most any move i make first will be punished. This game looks great, the lore is great, even the combat in the over world is alright. The bosses in the game just suck. All of em. Not fun at all.

I've made a lot of different unique builds with many characters without resorting into overpowered ones and I haven't had any issues fighting a boss moveset. At some point you will have to realize that maybe the game is not the problem.

Right because im the only person who has issues with the bosses in Elden ring? I didnt say they were hard, i didnt say I couldnt beat em, Ive done it many times over 3 characters. At over 130 hours I think I can say its the game. The bosses are not fun. At all, many of them are reused models, a lot of em just suck period and offer no challenge, the ones that do, suck because you just cheese em. There is not a single boss in this game that feels fun to fight. Im sorry that bothers you so much but it is the game. If it werent youd be able to name one. instead you go HERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR DA BUILDS. Im not talking about builds im talking about the bosses in the game being objectively bad compared to almost every other souls entry.

Ok....you clearly are not having fun with Elden Ring oh my Elden RIng, understable.

Thanks for sharing your unique and special hot-take. Now, what about if you try playing something else?

They play Helldivers 2. Honestly i'm not sure i want Super Earth and our fellow Helldivers to be associated with these type of folk.

did you even read the post or do you have fun joining in on conversations you have nothing to do with? I said the bosses werent fun, I even praised the games in several ways. The bosses are just horrible in this game, and it is my right to ♥♥♥♥♥ about it with other people on a public forum. im sorry this upsets you so much.

wow an actual response about a boss that isn't immediately inflammatory. Mogh is the closest thing to a fromsoft boss in this game, and is actually alright, but it definitely isn't great. just your average dodge and spam.

Buddy, your post doesn't bother me at all. This is a discussion forum, I'm responding to your comment.

Specially to this point you said: "you either cheese everything with magic or suffer this game horrible rhythm". That is not true. In fact, doing a magic run can be difficult as well due to the slow animation of some spells or bosses dodging them. As I said before, I haven't used overpowered builds and still beaten the game.

I do give you a point though, some bosses can really be a disappointment because of the reused models. In fact, there's a lot in the game.

You can interrupt bosses combo by breaking their posture or parrying them, the game it's not all dodging and waiting for a R1 attack. If that's how you're playing the game then you're not paying attention to the games combat system. Sure, some bosses have longer combos but you can counter most of them by dodging behind them, run behind them or even crouching to do a poke attack.

You can play the game offensively as much as defensively. The whole point of the boss is being a unique and challenge adversary. If it was as easy as just pressing one button to win it wouldn't be rewarding to beat them.

It's just like that ol' Dark souls community (annoying) phrase: "Git gud".

Once you get better at the game you will look back at this and laugh.

what about daddy godfrey?

I'm being completely honest, I don't think the game is the problem here. from my experience apart from 1 annoying boss they were all interesting and really fun to fight after you learn all the moves, it seems that's something you didn't do from the post. every boss can be beaten legit without cheese or broken tactics, and you calling every SINGLE one bad doesn't add up. either git gud or just don't play the game. maybe souls games aren't for you

Alright, fine. You want a serious answer, here it is:

Nothing forces you to cheese the game, nor use magic. And calling it "horrible rhythm" is extremely opinionated. I've beaten the game plenty of times with pure, no cheese, melee builds. After a while, as long as you're trying to, you'll learn the movesets and git gud at them.

Sorry to hear that. If you're not having fun then, you should just stop playing. Play the games that make you happy :3

I don't think you understood how the bosses in this games combat works. The point of these bosses is that they're are hyper-aggressive and are meant to keep you on your toes. You're supposed to hit them, heal, etc in the middle of their combos, not wait until they're done like previous Fromsoft games.
As for the bosses waiting around too much, i can't blame you for not liking that, and it does get somewhat annoying, but on the other hand it's kinda cool (sometimes) having a stare down edge-walking contest with the boss.
The only boss i think is a bit too passive is Malenia. She's pretty annoying in phase 1.

Well, you've gotten farther than most of the angry folk on this forum, being able to say something positive. I'm glad you enjoyed those parts of the game!

Thats just your opinion. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don;t know about you man but I have been playing a pure melee str build and had a lots of fun , Yes some bosses were annoying but it doesn't take the entirety of the game away.
