game is too hard, not fun

[twiggy]

before you tell me to "git gud", i have over 400 hours played on dark souls 3 so sftu child. this game is so slow paced, and combat is sluggish and restrictive (can only roll in 4 directions wtf???). the enemies movements are so unrealistic and sporadic, its artifical difficulty when an enemy instantly leaps at you from 10 feet away with a jumping power attack.
i could go on but its pointless. it was a bad idea to remaster this game instead of remaking it with dark souls 3 mechanics.

You try something, you die. You go back and try something different, until you don't die. You know full well that's what you signed up for so why make this sad display?

well, in DS1 it is easy to kite dogs on Capra demon as well and when you enter the fog gate, you can dodge all attacks by simply walking around capra demon.
Bridge with dragon is easy as well, dragon doesn't kill you instantly with fire breath, it takes down half of your hp, might be even less and then gives you enough time to reach the stairs down. Besides that, you can fight dragon with melee weapon, if he makes problems for you.
DS3 was pretty linear and easy comparing to DS1.

youre full of crap, ive been 1 shot plenty of times by that stupid dragon with full hp

what is your class, level and stats?

its nice to see how toxic and childish the dark souls 1 community is compared to 3

Dude; just face it. You're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ here just like you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in Souls 3. Shut up, stop crying; congratulations you beat DS3. Literally the easiest of all the souls games. Play the damn game or don't. Just stop being a little pansy just because now you're playing something that actually takes skill rather having 60-I frames every time you roll 80 times to dodge 1 strike from Dancer.

Though it's more like ALL difficulty is artificial, being man-made.
The point is, complaining about artificial difficulty is meaningless.

"Artificial Difficulty is the term I use to describe a game that makes itself harder through means which will more often annoy the player than give them a good sense of challenge. Usually this type of difficulty involves enemies or situations which take advantage of crummy controls simply to make the game FEEL harder. Overall, Artificial Difficulty is annoying and frustrating instead of Challenging and Rewarding."
this game is the dfinition of artifical difficulty for the most part

That is only your opinion about the controls. Most people agree the controls in this game are very good, and if you die it's your fault 99% of the time.

in short, this seems more like a case of "mad cuz bad"

Aside of the dlc's DS3 is genreally way way easyer and the gameplay mechanics in the newer souls games are also easyer - you simply can play with 1 buttons: R1 and Dodge. Thats all you needed there. Its possible to play ds1 like that aswell - however you need way more skill and better timings because its not as forgiving due to beeing slower - you have to think more about what you do and panic role dosnt work as much as it woud do in the newer souls games.

End of story.

For me DS1 and Demon Souls are still the hardest , and best of the Souls games. DS2 is different and has good stuff, but also pretty bad stuff. DS3 is super cool in pve due to cool enemys and all that - but its way to easy and like I said you can just 2 button the game.

dark souls 3 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks. This game is good. Dark souls 3 is easy and it pampers the player through the entire ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. Grow a pair, kid

The controls are fine, are you talking about how heavy you feel in this game? The long wind-ups on swings? Other than the rolling I've never heard anybody complain of bad controls and honestly the rolling isn't even that bad. You're still invincible so what does it matter anyway?

also a random un-named dragon that instantly 1 shots you with fire (which burns an entire 1 mile bridge and he is able to spam it too) he is stronger than midir, once again, artificial difficulty.

The red dragon stronger than Midir? LOL.

You are not supposed to fight the red dragon early on. You can spot the red dragon before it starts flying overhead and bait it to come out while you run back the way you came to avoid the fire. You can hear it coming as well. Even if you die to the red dragon, it will be on the other side the next time you approach the bridge. Casually walk across the bridge, hugging the right side, and proceed down the stairs.

With the exception of a very small handful of bosses, Dark Souls I is definitely the easiest in the Dark Souls trilogy once you get used to the limited 4-directional roll when locked on.

Then this game should be no problem for you. Adapt and overcome.

How is that challenging in any way? Dark hand in DS3 is pretty damn good, high damage for very low stamina consumption. Come back after doing a no-death run or no-hit run and then I'll be impressed, lol

Again, you're playing this game with preconceptions from DS3. I played this game with no idea of how it was to be played. Boy was it hard and learning it all was the best part. There is a common wish among many DS players to relive playing this game for the first time.

All games have artificial difficulty. They are all given difficulty created by the developers, thus it is artificial. If there was no difficulty, then you would beat the game as soon as you launch the game. These controls do not feel crummy to me. You experience that because of what you are used to. Just get used to it, start learning and reacting to the game, and git gud as many have said. Experienced players can get through the game no problem.

This comparison you make is akin to the original pokemon red/blue gameboy games vs. modern pokemon games. The old games back then, you often had no idea where to go, some abilities were useless on pokemon, nor balanced. But playing it, you learn the game and all its contents and enjoy it when you triumph over its challenges.

I really think you're being shallow about this. Try to appreciate what this game is.
Build a sense of real achievement.

It is a clunky game but I got kinda spoiled by DS3. I would have liked them to fix some mechanics and make it feel less clunky but sadly we don't always get what we want.

If you need some help just ask! No shame about that. :)
