Is it to hard?

[Mecharion]

Like to "unbalanced/unfair/unfun - for a Soulslike" hard? Some reviewers are crying that normal felt unbalanced for them.

I like hard - i dont like bad balance.

Dont troll with ez mode - i did all FS games solo. Just give me honest opinions without BS. Does it need tuning?

Well I do have a cooldown that provides invincibility but what is the practicality of it when the boss attacks 8 times in a row. Mine can only be used to block one of the 8 swings for free and do a bit of damage. It's a gap closer too.

None of his combos attack 8 times in a row. The utility is to use stamina to avoid/block some then use your spirit to avoid/block the others so you still have stamina left over to get your hits in before retreating a little and repeating.

I'm exaggerating. it's about 5 max ish at a time but he'll go into another string not long after. Ah ok so it can save stamina. Technically if you are perfectly brink guarding you won't lose stamina anyways but yeah I guess it can save you if you messed up.

Lock your FPS at a steady 60. Thank me later. It's a KR game, that means it's either 60 FPS, or deal with animation desync.

The game is hard, but most reviewers are leaving out that its a fair difficulty. There really aren’t any single frame attacks. Everything is well telegraphed with visual and audio aids.

I got past the first two main bosses. The demo + 1 level, and I didnt find the difficulty too overwhelming. I think boss 1 took me like 8 tries. Boss 2 Took me about 10. This games combat is similar to Nioh 2. So just try to parry and hold block even when you dodge. That’ll make a HUGE. Difference

The game isn't "unfair." The bosses just have bloated health pools though to force you to almost execute perfectly. You get to make like up to 8 tiny mistakes (like not hitting a perfect guard). One major mistake could just ruin it though.

I can't get the fricking timing down for phase 2. It's so slow and delayed lol I'm better at phase 1. Going to have another go at it today. Probably will be easier.

This game kinda expects you to "almost" perfect/no hit the bosses. Like almost. Like if you can beat them this way you aren't that far off from a perfect run.

thats the main issue here. every boss fight is a marathon because the health pools for bosses are absolutily rediculous.

you cant really afford to mess up because the health pools are so bloated.

viper alone probably has like more health than consort radahn from elden ring lol.

its rediculous and you are supposed to survive on 4 healing pots that dont even get you to full health.

its stupid

and yes you are correct that a few mistakes can ruin an entire run.

its not fun. its tedious.

i do 100% expect a nerf because the bosses in this game have more health than end game bosses in elden ring and that is piss poor design.

I feel bad that they implemented an easy mod but to eu say if you switch to easy you can’t go back to normal mode.
It’s stupid cause I want to play normal and just switch to easy if I really struggle.

If I knew you have to stick to either easy or normal I maybe wouldn’t have bought the game as I was really happy about switching to easy from time to time.

to be fair the bosses only really get harder so if you gave in on VIper. You would have given in for every future boss too.

Not a all, it's very easy.

i guess its very easy to make the phantom stop killing itself against viper.

another one who obviously hasnt made it that far yet.

What does phantom have anything to do with it? I have killed that little lizard; it was quite a good fight, very fair and enjoyable. Reflection against does miracles.

They're bluffing. Ignore

First of all, I am a singular person, not multiple.
Second, I was being more sarcastic than anything else to the question of "are souls games hard?" formed as a verb. Yes, to play this game is to hard.
