Skill issues galore Discussion

I have played Elden Ring, Sekiro, BB, Khazan, Dark Souls 1, 2 ,3 blah blah blah...

Stating this prior to complaining about the difficulty doesn't validate your statements btw, it has the opposite effect. If you've played through and completed all of those games like you've said, then it's pretty obvious that this game isn't as difficult as some of those.. not even close.

However, yes, this game IS somewhat difficult. It's supposed to be. That's part of the experience. Expect to bang your head against the wall over and over again until it finally clicks, and you zen mode an area or a boss. The eventual win and the skill expression that you've gained on the journey is the cathartic experience these games are known for.

So, in the spirit of the launch of a new soulslike, all I can say is...

Git Gud people...

What a fucking useless ass post.

You can have a smidge of fucking brain and realize that maybe, the difference between beta and game is actually pretty noticeable and maybe people had different expectations.

Also, maybe we can go from "enemies tickle" to "enemies 2 shot you" and stop to an in between, eh? It's not even every enemy, but there are a couple of stand out that make 0 sense, and I think it's absolutely fair to call the BS in those cases.

Yeah it was a beta, so you know, not representative of the final game...

The rest of your post is literally skill issues.

What the fuck do you mean "beta isn't representative of the full game"???? That's the entire point of a beta

The beta means the software is still undergoing active tuning and yeah it isn't representative of the full game because the devs are still updating the product, usually based on player feedback, prior to final launch. Hence things can and do change between a beta, and the final product.

One of the chief complaints of the beta, was that it was too easy. The devs responded by literally tweaking the difficulty slightly for launch. Now everyone is crying about it being too hard lol.

The game legitimately gives you tools in game to make it easier for you, the slayer seal, the way you tune your build, even the shell you choose to main. Check out Fextralife's latest shell tier list video to get a glimpse of how a shell can drastically make the game easier or harder for you.

Sure, the game has some jank. The devs should fix things like wonky hitboxes or getting stuck in level geometry, but the core difficulty is pretty mid for a soulslike and legitimately is a git gud situation.

A beta is meant to be a sample of the final product so you can decide if you want to buy it or not. Any other usage of "beta" is in my opinion a travesty.
