i don't like any of the soulsbourne series
the controls felt godawful on both mouse and keyboard and controller
and i like hard games too, so it's a shame
My main issue with that series is that it made not respecting a player's time a game mechanic. Make a hard boss? Cool, no problem. Make it so if I die against said boss I have to go farm healing materials? Go fuck yourself.
I find myself enjoying Armored Core 6 way more because it follows the conventional mission structure and if you die in a boss you just reload at a checkpoint with all your shit.
But even then, the game won't let you save and quit at a checkpoint on PC, so fuck me if I'm at the boss check point and need to switch off the PC to run an errand.
Yeah I tried Elden Ring for a good 20 hours, but I see absolutely no reason for the mechanic of having to go back to your body to get the XP, and if you die along the way it's all gone. What gameplay purpose does that serve?
If you’re actually curious: the purpose it serves is to instill a weight in and fear of death for the player. The goal is to make you more tense when pushing farther from your last checkpoint.
I never could get into Bloodbourne and I hit a wall in Sekiro that I just can’t get past, sometimes a game just doesn't feel right to you and I completely get that
Not trying to rage at you but if I am it's because you have a history of implying everyone who likes those games is part of the toxic part of the fandom, which you're also doing now almost like you prepared for this and the whole thread was that I fell for
That's cos it is heavy, the game will queue inputs for over an entire second it's crazy. I think I would have enjoyed dark souls 3 more if it didn't have the aggressive input queueing
I mean, my understanding is that that's deliberate. You're not really supposed to be able to just sweep bad inputs under the rug with cancels & stuff. Sometimes, you just make the wrong call & get your ass kicked because of it.
The input queuing is by design, it's supposed to make you pay more attention to attack telegraphs and the move sets of bosses since you can't just cancel an attack into a dodge.

Agreed. I like my controls to be snappy and responsive, and Dark Souls... was not that.

That’s the idea, at least.
If you can't get into it, you can’t get into it

Do you mean the input queuing? I like them but alw found the aggressive input queueing made the game feel shit sometimes.
mostly yeah, it felt pretty heavy compared to other games

Yeah, I understand the design intent, I just don't like it. To me it makes the game feel unresponsive and clunky.
Ok, I get that.
Imho I feel it helps to add weight to attacks that a lot of RPGs are missing but I can see why you wouldn't like it.
