% of people that beat the bosses

[catnipdave]

Early days but according to these stats it looks like 95% of people are struggling to get half way through the game, and almost a half of players have been unable to beat the first boss!

Parade Master 59%
Scrapped Watchmen 34%
King's Flame 22%
Fallen Archbishop 12% (the boss where I quit)

Then it gets interesting -

King of Puppets 5%
Puppet-Devouring Green Monster 3%
Laxasia 1%
The Awakened God Simon Manus 1%

Is there a point you're trying to make? I assume this is just a ''look at these stats game too hard'' considering you mentioned where you quit the game, but I just wanna make sure i'm taking it the right way, so before I provide own statistics of other similar hard games and a normal response, I want to ask:

Are you trying to say the game is too hard and this is your evidence to proof it's too hard?

Damn, i'm surprised Archbishop is filtering people. Was sure it'd be king of puppets where it would fall off hard.

It's the first boss with two phases, first phase mastered into a second phase that changes all patterns and timings to throw you off of your mastery of the first phase.

I'm not that surprised personally.

Even easy games look like this, especially so short after launch.
Over 50% of people havent finished Act1 in Baldures gate 3 in two months. Over 10% havent done the tutorial.

Pretty much, but before assuming what he meant, that's why I asked what the point he was trying to make, was. Because as you said, you can pick any game, look at the first month and see these types of stats.

It's still early days but overall It likely will be less than 10% for final bosses in contrast to less than 20% in Sekiro and DS3.

Most of players drop games relatively early or just quit at first annoyance, nothing new tbh.

Funny thing is that this evidence only applies to Game Pass. On Steam, the percentages are way higher.

I don't need proof that the game is "too hard". I played it and it's way too hard for me, but there's probably 1000s of games I can't beat.

Meh. It doesn't really hold much sway since a majority of people who buy their games don't even play them, let alone finish them. Conversation should be focused on the merits of the game's mechanics rather than if people beat x or finished y.

Here are the stats for Rogue Legacy 2, a tough game, but where you have the option to reduce enemy HP and damage by up to 50%, give yourself flight, slow down time and have free upgrades during the run. Achievements are not disabled if you use this option either.

Players who beat the first boss: 53%
Final Boss: 18%
True Final Boss: 3%

The conclusion to be drawn here is most people just don't get super invested in a game, which has nothing to do with the difficulty. They just play for a few hours then forget about it.

Its definetelly to hard. Developer does not care about making a game that everyone can play by making difficulty settings fair .Just wants to make a niche game. FromSOft is who they are because they are difficult but not to difficult. This developer will never get there. 95% cannot finish it very telling. I find the game very very frustrating. Way to hard for me and I went past 2 hours so I cannot get my money back either.

I'm asking what your point is, not what your point isn't. What was the point of this thread? What were you implying with these stats?

[Powercat]

Lies of Pepega, Dyslexia boss is the hardest!

I'm not "implying" anything, I'm specifically saying the game is too hard for most people.
