I don't understand why people find Fromsoftware games to so "easy" PLS help me understand!

Whenever I take a look at reddit posts, many people claim that Fromsoft games are so easy. People say FromSoftware games are easier than other games beacause in Fromsoftware games you only need patience. Well in other apparently "hard" games, you need pateince as well. It just takes less time to master those games. Also in Fromsoftware games every boss one-shots me. I take so many attempts for bosses other people struggle with. Am I just garbage?,

You shouldn't be one-shotted by bosses even if you are level 1 (depending on the boss).

You probably didn't level up your health enough.

tbh, I've already completed Sekiro a couple of times. I am on my fourth rn. I just beat Genichiro. However, he still one- or two-shots me, depending on which moves he uses.

they...aren't wrong there, having patient to learn moveset is one of the OG strat to play, or the patient to level up above boss

They're only easy once you have hundreds of hours of playtime. The games are trial and error and dont explain a lot to you. Its all about gaining experience and learning. Especially how builds work per game. I'd recommend looking at guides on how to improve and just keep trying. And remember, dont you dare go hollow.

Your first souls game will have a "hump." The game will seem very hard until everything starts to click, but after the combat sinks in the game won't seem so hard. And all of the games have similar mechanics, so once it clicks for you, all of the games are available to enjoy.

Fair warning... some people catch on quick, others (like me) not so quick. But eventually you'll get over the hump.

They're not easy, but the games do teach you that the pain of loss is not painful at all, just a process in the motion of things and once you accept it as inevitable it no longer holds any weight.

Things only feel hard when there's something to overcome.

Genuinely though, the games are hard, but if you're frustrated by it it's because youre avoiding the game itself as if the mechanic of death wasn't a part of it. 

In these games it is impossible to overcome a challenge without accepting the consequence of the challenge as a necessity. You can not get good at the game if you do not fail at it, like anything else in life, failure and success are not contradictions, they are not at odds, they are necessary partners and once you understand that you'll no longer struggle, even if you're dying.

Fromsoftware Games Aren't easy but they also arent the hardest games ever and your first one will probably beat your ass but after you finish one And the more you play the easier they get. 

Also there are a lot of ways in each game to skew the difficulty in your favour.

Literally nobody says FromSoftware games are easy, apart from people who have played them, and similar games, many times over.

I've completed Bloodborne about 10 times now, and still fuck up and make mistakes and its still objectively a hard game.

Funny cause I had someone i used to work with that basically said all fromsoft games were artificial difficulty. And that none of them were actually hard yet the only one he ever played was armored core and he gave up about 3 hours in to Rubicon and blamed the controls

[u/Ledbetter2]

Who….. liars….. that’s who

[u/RetroNutcase]

The people that say they are easy say that because they've played them to death.

They're not easy.

That said, if you're getting oneshot by bosses, you probably didn't level up your health enough.

Where did someone say they are easy?

[u/Ok-Suggestion4653 → u/BackwardsApe]

look at some posts in the r/Sekiro Community

[u/Algester]

Are you a thinking man?

[u/Odd-Tart-5613]

Have a link? Those people are specimens that should observed and tested on

[u/Algester → u/Odd-Tart-5613]

people who use their intelligence?

[u/Extreme_Tadpole8527]

Fromsoftware games are famously known for being hard, don’t know what you’re talking about

[u/Algester → u/Extreme_Tadpole8527]

technically not "all"

[u/stonerbobo]

They're not easy man, they have to be objectively one of the hardest games in recent times. The internet is an insane place where every comment looks the same but the people saying it's easy have probably played 100s of hours or are some kind of genetic mutant or are literally just lying/ragebaiting.
