Looks like an incredible title.

I won't be able to play it because it's clearly DS-esqe and I just get murdered on games with that difficulty level. Right up my alley on story, genre and graphics, but I'm just not cut out for all the frustrating punishment.

About the most "difficult" combat system I ever mastered was Dragon's Dogma.

This. I want my games to be fun. Not feel like work.

There are individual fights/areas that are difficult, but once you learn how to play a DS game the game itself isn't difficult at all IMO. I like that you have to focus on defense/staying alive and just get your licks in when you can.

*in Russian accent*:
You are adorable, like wittle baby!

Seriously though did you not grow up with an NES? It blows my mind how people think Fromsoft games are so hard just because they don’t always hold your hand.

I don’t have any special “stick skills” and I’ve Platted every one of them including Sekiro which is by far the hardest; and they’re all pretty forgiving compared with the original Ninja Gaiden/Castlevanias and the holy mother of frickness that is Ghosts ‘n Goblins.

I’m just praying that they don’t tame ER for the masses.

ETA because I was a bit of a dick: my biggest beginner tip for Demons/Dark Souls is to start with Temple Knight or Knight respectively. Both give you early access to a good shield and healing miracle which are the two best beginner survival aids.

You can play the game. You can beat the game. All you need to really beat souls is time and patience. The real reward is not beating the game. It’s what you learn about yourself in the process.
