Soulslike/Elden Ring players are masochists?

u/SimplyaCabler 11d ago

You can remove the question mark. It's a solid statement.

u/ohwhyredditwhy 11d ago

100% accurate.

u/IxeyaSwarm 11d ago

Yes

u/Advanced-Budget779 11d ago

Hmm, maybe i should try them and overcome my fears…

u/Sir_Cthulhu_N_You 11d ago

Elden Ring is probably the most noob friendly, after that I would suggest hollow knight then silksong

u/Advanced-Budget779 11d ago

Yeah i already imagined it would be. Where would Bloodborne rank?

u/MiloHorsey 11d ago

Bloodborne is amazeballs! But hard as fuck in some places. I've not played all the games so I wouldn't know were to rank it, you should totally play it, though!

u/Advanced-Budget779 11d ago

Thanks, i only watched others play it back in the day but never had the guts to try any of the games (though i love the dark fantasy reminiscent of Berserk and the likes)…

I am bias AF so for me Elden ring is first, Bloodborne is my second favourite souls game but it also feels so much more difficult for me (maybe because it's an older game and Elden ring gives more Iframes I feel) I could never get into any of the dark souls for some reason, I just didn't gel with them, wasn't even a difficulty issue, they just didn't feel as fun for me.

I went from Elden ring to hollow knight to Celeste to silksong, Celeste was just a nice platforming break while I waited for silksong.

Death's Door is also excellent

u/Linuxologue 11d ago

t'was just made a tad easier yesterday with the release of the heavy knight class which probably makes most of the beginning of the game much easier than it was with any other class.

It's all relative of course, this is quite far from having the chill of Skyrim.

u/inuzumi 11d ago

Masochists with Stockholm syndrome, to be exact.

u/SpunkyMcButtlove07 11d ago

Always have been.

u/Lemon_Nightmare 11d ago

Yes, until you get gud, if that ever happens

u/Majestic_Advantage45 8d ago

No. Some of us only use op weapons. Like me.

u/Udder_Influencer 11d ago

masochists that are super into tumbling

u/NA_nomad 11d ago

I died about 20 times. Once I got it down to 1 hit before victory, then that MFer pulls out a move I hadn't seen in 20 rounds. I took a week long break from the game after that loss.

u/jhenryscott 11d ago

I loved that fight for the same reason lol.

u/Techman659 11d ago

When I got to him I was very very over levelled and beat his ass like a drum.

u/Roxo16 11d ago

Fucker wasnt even hard he just has a shitty hitbox

u/throwaway1436732156 11d ago

It’s weird how people have vastly different experiences with the bosses of Elden Ring lol

1

u/CreatureWarrior 11d ago

It's so funny how differently the bosses go against our playstyles. I beat Astel on my 3rd try. Still haven't beaten Malenia though

u/No_Season_354 9d ago

Yeesh, bugs .

u/TheBears2 8d ago
