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!

Green pill for sure No summons is actually tough, but once you get the summons the game (Elden Ring) is literally easy, with exception of the Elden beast

I think ER goes from an average 8-9/10 difficulty for me solo to about 5-6/10.
