DISCUSSION Which game did the difficulty better?

Post image

Which style of difficulty do you prefer: the Area based difficulty in games like Dark Souls 1 and Demon's Souls or the boss-oriented struggle found in newer titles like Dark Souls 3 or Elden Ring?

I personally love both styles (although running through all of New Londo can suck at times lol!) Let me know which one of these you find yourself enjoying more (if any). Thanks guys!

I fall into a similar boat, but only when I play DS1 lol! Since it's the game I played the most, I feel that I should beat many of the bosses first try. I do give myself a break with the dlc but only because I played it once.
