Anyone who played any beloved third-party NES game:
Oh, that's cute! 😏
Edit: Just so we're clear, I'm poking fun here, I like Demon/Dark Souls just fine.
but waay too many games get compared to them as though they're the first game with ball-retracting difficulty, lmao.
Am I crazy for just hating the genre entirely? I’ve beaten DS 1-3, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring and every single one of them have just been the same thing over and over, get clobbered and reset back to bonfire and continue throwing yourself at enemies and bosses until you finally figure out their pattern. It’s boring and way too time consuming, especially as a parent.
Making the entire series’ identity based off of bullshit deaths just doesn’t seem fun to me
