Is that Elden Ring? I never played but I've played dark souls 3, is the game any good?

yes

 

[Myst]

yes

Can't run it on my laptop without lag sadly but the game would probably be too hard anyway, I have a bad habit of cheating in games when they get too annoying

He literally just said he beat the HARDEST BOSS with using only parrying (timing one singular button press) and you're claiming the game is "hard". A literal goldfish beat every 'hardest' boss in the game btw and I am not joking.

that's the thing with Elden Ring, the game becomes braindead easy if you maxx out everything even a goldfish can play it

Elden Ring as are many soulslike games are only "hard" in the sense that they're based in trial and error, even though anyone can beat them. However, timing parries in this game is by no means an easy feat, and that's by design. OP is likely a dedicated autist.

 

[Foidkiller]

timing parries in this game is by no means an easy feat

what skill does it require
spoiler alert none, it requires data, memorizing the time at which to press the button
it may take focus, motivation, and emotional control to get through all those deaths, but every single game teaches you that anyway, and a smart person just gets bored from the lack of mental stimulation, having to walk back for minutes just do attempt the same one button presses again

In theory, that is true but in practice, it takes a bit of muscle memory and determination to execute... even rockets can fail to launch and explode despite the math and theories

I mean DS3 was pretty difficult for me but maybe you're right about elden

difficulty and fromsoftware just don't go together, this is an oxymoron

Muscle memory, as in having to try the same boss over and over? You beating malenia parry-only, doesn't mean you can do that to any other boss in the game, so no real skill was acquired. I'm not a hater of these games since I love the level design and atmosphere, but doing this is just retarded.

Precisely, or any boss or any enemy in any other game. For that matter.

Yeah, but there are games for which you could make the argument that there is such a thing as skill, just not fromsoft games.

I rage quit ds3 at oceiros

 

[newsincerity]

I rage quit ds3 at oceiros

it's optional boss tho

 

[Foidkiller]

No, obviously, What I meant is, the quote-un-quote "skill" that you gain from fighting a fromsoftware boss is not applicable anywhere else. It's just data.

People who rage quit are no better than the people who beat the games and then proclaim themselves skilled gamer gods all around the internet, both were somehow fooled into thinking the game is hard
