    Any of the Dark Souls. They’re hyped up for being difficult, but the only thing that makes them difficult is the clunky controls.

    Like, I could make Pokemon Yellow equally difficult by taping a dish sponge to a Gameboy and requiring the player to operate the buttons through an inch of fluff.

    The story’s kinda there if you dig for clues, but it comes off as random bullshit if you don’t.

    They are fucking gorgeous, I’ll give em that.

    I’ll never understand the ‘git gud’ circlejerk… I 100%'d DS2, and made it a good chunk through Elden Ring (think I was about 80% done before finally saying fuck it). I ‘got gud’… But DS never got fun.

    I absolutely love the style, setting, visuals, and music - I really wanted to like DS… but the combat and clunky controls absolutely murder the experience.

    For me at least… to each their own.

      what’s clunky? I would agree they have some clunky elements, mainly the targetting will sometimes cause problems, but I don’t recall much else being necessarily clunky.
