Yeah, I also think all of elden ring is too hard to be fun.

Honestly fuck em Fromsoft gamers that think you're playing wrong unless you do it level 1 with no weapon upgrades and no armor, uphill both ways in the snow. They're challenging games but they're also not necessarily that difficult if you let yourself use the shit the game gives you

Elden Ring took the boss design that previous Souls games would have 1-2 of -- which they used more for thematic and gameplay emphasis -- and designed like at least half of the bosses like it. It's so tiring to play compared to the Souls series (and DS3 was already kinda' pushing it). Wouldn't mind it so much if ER became the capstone to Fromsoft's Souls-style action games as they experimented with more gameplay styles, but we know that won't happen.
