  • I havent, but it’s not really the getting my ass beat that turns me off from the games, it’s more the

    not really having fun while it happens lmao. Even when I first started playing BF3, I’d still have exciting moments between the repeat deaths on deaths on teamkills on deaths. Soulslike games have, for me, usually just felt like a slog and a grind. Maybe it’s just because I havent gotten good at them, quite likely really, but the barrier to entry just doesn’t seem worth surmounting to me when there are so many other games to play out there without the barrier to entry.



  • Any Soulslike anything. I have gotten my ass beaten by enemy NPCs in Smash Bros, and I have gotten my ass beaten by enemy players in Battlefield, and I stuck around with both until I got quite good (Smash Bros more than Battlefield, but still).

    But Dark Souls, Demon Souls, Elden Ring… I’ve actually owned all of them and played none of them for more than a few hours at most. I got the furthest with Elden Ring but it’s just not fun, it’s harder than Smash Bros but about as fun as Ghost of Tsushima combat - which is to say, not very fun.

    Oh also, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla or whatever the viking themed one was. I’m not a picky AC player, I loved the originals and I loved Origins and I loved many (though not all) in between those. But the viking one just had the slowest, least satisfying combat in the world. Which sucked since I’m Danish American, can’t even live out digital viking fantasies, but pirate fantasies are a decent second I guess.

    On the flip side, the Stanley Parable is so good that I haven’t finished it because it makes my brain feel like it’s tripping but in a disorienting and uncomfortable way. It’s so good but I cant handle it for too long.
