It’s lazy game design to make a fight “harder” by just adding increasingly long periods where all you can do is dodge.
The soulslike genre is simply bullet hell where you don’t always get to see the bullets before they hit you, stuck inside a metroidvania.
Learn to parry
Delayed attacks as a form of increasing difficult are just extremely unfun. Yeah, you made the boss harder, you also made it extremely frustrating, congratz.
In Elden Ring you can often attack during the windup and then dodge. Creating a posture break during those delays can be quite a fun experience.
Plus you can do things like jumping attacks to dodge and duck a lot more of those spinning combos than you’d expect.
The ascetic with the hoops at the very start whiffs most of his chained attacks without you even having to dodge once you figure it out.
FromSoft games are fun to learn, and that frustration is often the appeal as the tricks are discovered.

Because Sekiro is based and killing bosses is insanely satisfying (we do not talk about demon of hatred)
That’s my biggest problem with FromSoft games. They are not challenging, they’re just slow HP sponges that can one-shot you. That is not challenging, it’s just unfair, and frankly boring.
I think the game would be funner even with the simple tweak of making the animations faster. No fighter EVER wins IRL by telegraphing their attacks for three seconds.
Have you played their previous games? It’s only an issue in Elden Ring.
Dark Souls also has slow enemies. Supposedly Sekiro is better in that regard, but meh.
Slow and delayed is not the same thing, Dark Souls enemies won’t wait 3 seconds mid attack to throw you off.
Vigor check missed
Meanwhile streamers are beating the dlc just throwing roundrocks.
Wish cheat codes were still a thing. Sometimes I just need a little help getting past one part but don’t have time to grind it out like I would have before.
You mean like mods that are easily accessible? God i wish.
Or trainers, equally ready to access. There’s even tools like wemod that offer trainers for all your games at a convenient single click.

If you dont like it, dont play it. 🤷♂️
yeah guys, never criticize or review any work of art!
People refuse to collect fragments, refuse to use better weapons they refuse to buff or use summons AND then act like little bitchbabies. Nooo i want to beat it MY way. And by my way they mean naked with a stick, because they see streamers do it. This literally doesn’t happen in any other game. Factorio is way too hard, and no, i won’t use conveyor belts. Destiny 2 is IMPOSSIBLE to beat with my 600 light level, what a bad game. DOOM is way too hard, why is everything such a bullet sponge, they need to buff the starter pistol. Ugh, this 6 man wow raid is too hard to do by myself, i think i’ll sue blizzard.
those are all part of game design and are valid things to criticize. for example, if a game needs you to grind 400 hours before you can enter your second dungeon or else it’s too high level for you to beat, it’s shit design. “oh but you’re not playing the way it’s designed; you’re trying to beat it YOUR way” isn’t enough defense by itself.
for me I’d suggest maybe don’t be that invested in a game that criticism of it enrages you this much. it also helps if being “good at hard game” isn’t a replacement for a personality; one would not need take those critiques so personally and get mad like a… what’s it called? ah yes, a bitchbaby.
Incoming flood of posts about Assassin’s Creed, Redfall, Gollum, and Skull and Bones. Remember what you said - if you don’t like the game, stay silent!
