Never has a souls fan described or named what's the skill these games require. The fact that you are just implying that coping data and then pasting it somewhere is a skill, is the most clear indication that you are a lifeform way lesser than humans and most animals as well. Imagine being proud of having the functionality of a broken record, to the point that you need to brag about it to everyone on the internet. Apparently by your definition if you stare at a wall for 10 hours you are a skilled wall starer. A parrot is a skilled speaker even if it has no clue what it's saying and never tried to practice it's speech. So is a record even though it's just an inanimate machine made by someone who actually had skills. Drinking from the toilet is a skill and people who aren't willing to do it is only because they have skill issues, are bad at it and they need to git gud and are also jealous of those who can, according to souls fans. There are many synonyms of the word skill: expertise, expertness, adeptness, dexterity, ability, prowess, mastery, competence, competency, capability, efficiency, aptitude, artistry, art, finesse, flair, virtuosity, experience, professionalism, talent, cleverness, smartness, ingenuity, versatility, knack, readiness, handiness, know-how. Most of them don't even remotely fit your definition of skill. Reading a completely nonsensical gibberish book and memorizing it doesn't mean you mastered anything or you became skilled, or an expert at anything, or you acquired an ability, became more competent or efficient at anything, or you finessed anything, or you got any kind of experience, readiness for anything or you know-how to do anything. You just stored completely pointless data in your brain and you can parrot it for no reason at all. It doesn't help you with anything anywhere at any point. When you mention the list of your skills to someone, if you mention that you have memorized a book of gibberish, then you are insane and pitiful/laughable. Maybe someone will create a video game that asks you to write down the content of that book and you will play it and beat it to feel good for yourself after wasting all that time to memorize an entire book. The rough textbook definition of skill is: the ability to do something well. You can argue that you can memorise generally, but i don't know if the word ''well'' fits anywhere here. Every lifeform has basic memory. Is basic breathing a skill too? If you are not dying from lack of oxygen or choking on your spit, it means you are doing it well and you are a skilled breather right? I guess everyone is, but if that's the case then who are the bad breathers? Can we really say that we do something well if there is no one beneath us to compare them with us? Everyone can actually beat these simple games. There are people who whine because they don't get handled free instant gratification like game journalist and they proceed to call these games hard because they are not just lazy when it comes to their job, they are also lazy when it comes to thinking why exactly they failed and what were they really playing, so they just proceed to simply call the games hard. An inaccurate word spouted from their mouth out of pure laziness. Then there are smart people who drop these games early on because they realise how boring they are. If you take the least skilled game journalist and physically force them to finish any of these games, they will definitely succeed. Same will happen if you force a grandma who never touched a video game and pretty much anyone, since there is no actual skill requirement nor a talent. A genuine skill would be something that can actually be carried on to other things like depth perception. You can walk, run, drive any machine whether ground, aerial or underwater and play many video games well, such as platformers. The higher your skill level of depth perception, the better you become at all of those and there are also many other things you can do with that skill as well.

if the combat was a 100th as epic as they try to make the game look (and fail) it would be a good game, instead they have oversaturated a shitty niche they over-committed into creating ONLY bcuz it wasnt already being done outside of other shitty dungeon crawling jrp type games, its basically the worst possible jrpg/ps1 fighter crossover imaginable.

Top ten jokes that went too far

I hate how the combat in these games is just about rolling at the right time and nothing else. Like enemies will do a 180 turn in the air to hit you, some attacks look like they shouldn't reach you but then the boss magically slides across the floor to hit you, random AOE explosions, etc. Makes it feel like positioning doesn't even matter

What's funny about this video is you DO actually make some really solid points, especially about the long time issues that From Software has never fixed as well as the newer issues introduced as the games got faster and harder, along with the pitfalls that other Souls-likes fall into. The problem here is you make your arguments in extremely bad faith; attacking the fanbase, showcasing footage of incredibly rare bugs that 99% of players are very unlikely to find, disparaging universally loved aspects that these games do really well and even making up lies to excuse your lack of skill, knowledge, forsight and common sense - it's all really petty. I'm all for people expressing what they dislike about these games, honestly I feel there isn't enough discussion that highlights the very real issues they have, but that said your own personal tastes are not objective fact. In this case you just have to take the L and accept this isn't a genre made for you, so going out of your way to tear everyone else down who enjoys and makes these games just isn't it man.

My Soulslike rant: My problems with Dark Souls, and all the "souls-like" games. First, they don't respect your time. The checkpoints...oh wait, what fucking checkpoints? Having to go back to the fire, and have 20 or more minutes of progress erased, all the enemies back, because you made one little tiny mistake and some basic enemy ripped your face off is bullshit. Have a damn checkpoint system! Ooh your game is 100 hours, that is not that impressive if 90% of that time is doing the same areas over and over again with all the enemies respawned. The story...what story? People keep saying these games have such a rich story...no they don't they have LORE, which is not the same thing as story. Not that you could ever be told any story anyway, all the npc's do is mutter a sentence or two, and then laugh at you. No one tells you any lick of any actual stuff that happened. Plus, your character has no motivation. You are some nameless undead that gets pulled out of some muck, handed a sword, and told to go kill shit for 100 hours, you have no voice, no backstory, etc. Some say the story is told in the environment... no, it all just looks like a bunch of old ruins with palette swaps, like what shade of gray do you want your ruins today? A bunch of voiceless mobs aren't telling me any kind of story. Levelling up doesn't do a damn thing, you can get up 20 levels, and guess what? The mobs in the first main area can still disassemble your ass in 1.3 seconds if you get caught in a combo, levelling up doesn't do much at all. Now, the multiplayer. People just love how cryptic everything is in these games, but look, this multiplayer is just TOO cryptic. They must think it's cool to have it like this, but it is a bunch of crap to go through just to have someone join your game, you'd never figure it out without looking it up. A bunch of cryptic items with unhelpful descriptions, because I guess that just having a menu you open Multiplayer> options > request player join or something in the menu just wouldn't fit the "lore" or theme or whatever. This is becoming a bit TOO immersive. Just have an easy to understand multiplayer options menu.

All of your videos are so negative lol, I was a pure DMC worshipper when it came to combat games, but instead of bashing Souls games I instead try to understand that the game is different in combat and needs getting used to and appreciate the more slow and tactical approach to combat which is interesting and thrilling in it's own way, when you make a mistake it's 90% of the time your mistake and you know it even if you can't accept it through the rage. The game's roots are bitter but the fruits are sweet. Although I think DMC games are still harder at it's core, you can maximize your character as much as you want but you will know when you suck at higher difficulties nevertheless. In Souls games this is not the case as you can level the shit out of your character and deal 30% of boss's HP just from one hit. And yes when you know every move of the boss and how to counter it it becomes quite easy since the enemies are relatively easy to react to while in DMC some bosses are insanely fast and require almost inhuman reaction time, sometimes you just have to know the move's timing to dodge it cause it's too quick to react to first time.

I see, a fellow game developer. As a newbie, i think it's fine to make a Punch-Out like combat. You have a clear goal and all you need to do is try and see if you are capable or reaching it. I can hardly remember how the NES version plays, since i haven't played it in a very long time and i never played the Wii version. Personally, i would like to create something close to the Metal Gear Solid 1 or MGS 2 if i can afford the budget. The safest way to go with your first game of course, is something way more simple, like a 2D platformer. I recommend you check out the Celeste game, a masterpiece 2D platformer made by a single person.

Good gameplay would be something that's easy to get into, but hard to master. A game that demands good reflexes and/or brains, without wasting any unnecessary time. A game that respects the player's intelligence and time by thoughtful design choices that actually teach the player the mechanics needed, instead of just thrown stuff all over everywhere like vomit. Celeste is a perfect example. If your game is very short, make sure there are a couple of changes in every playthrough. Either the A.I. changing it's behaviour or different opponents/enemies appearing at different places. That adds replay value and you will learn a lot by understanding how to program good A.I. which is extremely important in both making a fun video game and in possible future jobs.

I'm not alone in the world! Praise be to God! Someone understands this garbage game and games for what they are finally. Skill comes from having agency which is your capacity to do things, and dark souls seems to just take that agency away from you in the middle battle unless you unskillfully increment a counter in a menu to have more health and stamina. I've only played Elden Ring, but I've also seen a lot of stuff on KZread of other Dark Souls titles, and it's all quite same-looking, especially when the UI is basically the same for each. Even if you do get good at these games, each boss is basically its own puzzle, so learning one boss produces skill (or "skill") that does not transfer to other enemies. It also is really nothing more than roll; attack; repeat. That's not deep. That's one layer of actions. You can't take away my agency for doing necessary actions like attacking and defending, then complain "skill issue" and "git gud" at me when there is no skill to be had in that, and saying this is a "challenge" or "hard". Well it is hard, but it isn't challenging because to challenge requires that something skillful be tried, whereas hard simply means difficult to overcome in general. Skill requires something to get good at in the first place by definition. A skill issue implies with respect to some skill a failure on my part to do what I _can_ do but didn't; but removing the agency to do something means I _can't_ do that thing; therefore it is not a skill issue, but the developers having no idea how to design a game's combat to be skill-oriented, and people being equally out of touch with reality, only ever letting someone else do the thinking for them which disposes them to being easily manipulated.

​@@SolonGaming Nice. I've noticed the ghosts haunting the channels tend to not like what I have to say it seems. Unfortunately, I suck at explaining things in common terms and in general. I've been pretty absorbed in the abstract for most of my life as a software engineer, and also quite isolated, so... not much I can do about it save with practice. For sure, more could be said, but... meh. I'm just going to prove the point by fixing Elden Ring and Sekiro with my own mods. Sekiro actually has a pretty strong foundation to work with, so I look forward to finishing it, especially since I'm starved to find good games to play, and it was quite disappointing to find out Sekiro was yet another dud, really to be expected at this point being another From Software game. Here, the advertising of moves, and the punish-reward system, are both working together against the player, and the NPCs also don't play by the same rules as the player as usual which the devs seem to exploit to make the appearance of challenge and difficulty. In my experience talking with people about Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and now Sekiro, everyone is mistaking it for their own fault, not that of the game. This is the mindset of people who unfortunately can't see past appearances, or even refuse to analyze past them. By the way, I'm afraid I can't agree with your use of insults as opposed to just stronger language. It's not productive, and just gets the appetites riled up which proves only an obstacle for people who already, for the most part, seem to rely on emotion considering they lack any premises to support their claims, thus potentially turning them away simply because of being naturally averse to insults which really have no place in the syllogism in the first place and constitute ad hominem anyways. Besides, emotion does not come from the intellect, so the only possibility is due to a choice to enjoy such. I myself once loved contention for self-seeking, but this is a vice no less, so I directed my intentions to the good of others while overcoming my fault. For your own good and others, I implore you to do likewise and direct this appetite towards the good. Most of what I get from most people who like these games are claims but no premises really, whereas everything I believe is formed of myself, and I have an answer for almost everything anyone could try me for; and for the things that I don't, I usually can come up with a reasonable list of syllogisms on the spot, so not too much of an issue. I would just say instead to spurn and provoke their consciences with guilt by pointing out the defects, pointing out how shameful and embarrassing From Software's design is, and even better, using the very means and gameplay by which they pretend to understand and turn it against them as an example of how it actually is the opposite of what they think which you have done a little, but not as much as just commenting over what is being said and done. You'll get a better response, and you will also better, hopefully, direct them away from such truly shameful praises for having accomplished nothing great and worthy of praise. If others should then find the belittlement of what they love as a personal attack, then that is their fault, and confirmation of the cause of their claims being unreasonable.

I definitely agree in some sense for the later entries, but Demon's Souls itself has better RPG elements and much better storytelling than the rest of the series. It isn't relying solely on difficulty or lackluster action game mechanics to carry the experience.

It's garbage in elden ring where you have to follow a guide otherwise it's impossible, Anyway i could go on but it'll be too long, so all I'll say is all the complaints you had are valid, and some of the shit you criticize the soulsgame (the camera, and the enemies attckas going through walls) are things that are objectively bad about these games, there's no person that doesn't hate that about the soulsgames.

(mucho texto ahead) Calling souls fans bad and pretentious while then going ahead and jerking yourself off to hack and slash games was just an unnecessary section of the video. I don't play those games and from an outsiders POV they're probably fun, but you're just acting like the type of souls fans you're criticizing. These games are just not for you dawg. While it's true it gets stale and boring fighting bosses by just rolling, in some games like DS1 you have the option of blocking, having a heavier loadout for poise (stat that lets you take some hits before staggering) or trading HP with the boss which is just not viable in DS3 and ER. Miyazaki somehow thought the praise of the bosses having longer combos and crazier movesets in DS3 was good and now we're getting boss fights that are just unnecessarily hard. The bosses in older games have at least 1 move they delay, but in ER bosses have half or the entire moveset being a delayed attack, and don't get me started on the crazy fast attacks some bosses pull out of their ass. ER seriously changed how the bosses work in these games (some of them instantly react to inputs instead of actions for example) and I'm worried of the direction Miyazaki is taking these boss fights in. I can understand the frustration of having delayed actions and dodgeroll i-frames, but timing your moves against an enemy or boss is part of why so many people find the gameplay loop of these games satisfying. Losing gank fights (not bosses) is a player side issue, you can filter out enemies one by one or if you have a big enough weapon or AOE spell you can kill some in one swing before continuing with the next. Having your weapon hit a wall in a narrow space is frustrating, but again you have options to deal with this: either bait the enemy out or use a weapon with a thrusting move, however I agree that enemies not hitting the walls is complete bs. Stamina system is there to force you to manage and time your actions instead of hacking and slashing endlessly (until DS3 came out). If you're willing, you CAN have a heavier loadout to dish out more damage or have more defence and this decision is entirely on you (outside of DS3 and ER, because poise and damage resistance are non-existent). You show a lot of bugs, which either seem to be incredibly rare or patched, I've personally never had these happen to me and don't know anyone who has had this happen to them but I understand the frustration with them. Speaking of ranged weapons, if we're talking about MAGIC (mostly sorcery) then yes I agree that it seriously just kills a lot of the fun and challenge these games present. But real ranged weapons like bows and crossbows are just garbage, you can definitely beat the game with them but it's going to be incredibly tedious and boring. Bows take too much time to draw giving most bosses enough time to close in and crossbows dont do enough damage. Souls being the game currency and EXP needed to level up I find are very convenient in these games as it would feel monotonous to obtain both money and EXP, I'd rather play skyrim for that. In these games there's a button that teaches you what attribute is supposed to do in the menus, this is not an example of trial and error but a player issue, and you can read item descriptions dawg. Losing your souls after dying a second time is part of the challenge, either spend them all if you're worried about them or carry on with the risk of losing them permanently. Trying out new weapons isn't that much of an issue unless you spent a ton of souls on a specific build, then again this is a non issue in DS2, DS3 and ER since you can respec your levels with the help of an NPC and a special item. They teach you at the start of the game what your controls and actions are like backstabs and parries (ER's tutorial is the better one in the series). Yeah the boss runs outside of ER are just horrible, DS2 being the biggest culprit of this, thank fuck they added stakes in ER.

At no point i jerked myself off to hack and slash games. These games require actual skill and even if their fandoms were acting like souls fans, they behaviour would be obnoxious, but their point of ''git gud'' would actually stand. None of the options you mentioned add any depth or make the games interesting in any way. These games require zero thinking, and zero skill. They offer no stimulation which is why they are mind numbingly boring.

Good video. The mod that adds Dante with his DMC1 moveset to darksouls improves the game a thousandfold and actually makes it fun. Also the lack of checkpoints and no pausing means you have to set aside massive amounts of time to sit through these games. Actual action games >>> Soulslop

Lies and Sekiro Bring prostetic Tools to enhance the Combat & intense parrying. in Elden Ring you can Parry as well with a dual wielded shield and have a great variety of weapons, potions, spells, thus a way to cheese every Boss by analysing their attack pattern and figuring out the windows when to attack.

This video contains a large volume of inaccurate and half-inaccurate claims. Souls boss fights are a rhythm-based system. Each boss contains a different rhythm, different delayed hitbox AOEs, and different resistances to specific strategies and damage types. It is not an unfair or unpredictable system. In fact, most of the bosses you encounter can be killed on the first try if you know how the combat works and are capable of base observations. Your contrast between souls and games with freer motion such as DMC5 and Ninja Gaiden is also weak. In these games there is little to no punishment for unoptimal movement or using the wrong attack at the wrong time. It is designed to make you feel fast to give the illusion of complexity. You can beat both of these games on the hardest difficulty using basic combos. I know so because I did so. IN CONTRAST, in souls games you have to make moves with confidence because there is a true scarcity of time and room to navigate. It is not afraid to make you feel incompetent through picking apart your early mistakes. You most certainly seem like the type who felt incompetent due to bad input control or bad observation and fell back upon the crutches the games leave for incompetent players such as yourself. You respec'd to int, picked up some variant of crystal spear or comet and pressed r1 from halfway across the boss arena. You would rather record a 28 minute long video full of cope than use an underpowered melee weapon and learn the rhythm game via a battle of attrition. Your opinions are bad because they are predicated upon your weakly-veiled irritation due to giving up halfway. I am not proud of beating these games because as you said, it is not much of an accomplishment. It is a glorified patience trainer, which you probably hate because you were raised on an ipad.

Memorization through trial and error because of inaccurate nonsensical visuals, hitboxes and bugs is not rhythm based. It ABSOLUTELY is an unpredictable system. None of the bosses can be beaten in your first try if you play completely naked with bare fists because you don't have enough health and damage and you will not be able to try and err enough times successfully and the game will be exposed for what it really is.

Like when you complain about the stamina bar. Well, if it was infinite, it REALLY would be a game that does not require that much of skill. Souls games, at least in demons souls and ds1 ( I do agree that ds3 and elden ring can be roll spaming) positioning really does matter (Like in the Ornstein and Smough fight, where you have to use the pillars) and you cant just roll spam, bc you WILL be punished for that. And you have to acknowledge that there's more than a type of skill, not only mechanic skill (which games like DmC thoroughly rely on). Plus, it does matter the direction you roll. And about the trial and error thing, which is a mayor point of your video, is not a inherently bad thing, DS1 did it in a unique way for the time and it was part of the premise of the game and worldbuilding. When you get stuck in a boss or something, its just because you haven't figured it out yet. The first time I finished the game was a experience like no another because of this. The dark souls premise involves that and I think they did it pretty well. But there are some things I agree with you: ds1 can be too fucking slow, souls games have bs environment hazards sometimes, the combat is really simple compared to another hack'n slash games (even tho I don't think it has to be, but it will be less fun nonetheless), and in some point, memorizing patterns is really just annoying sometimes, but you can get around it with another strategies sometimes. @@SolonGaming

If you go the min-max route it’s possible to make the game a lot more trivial and even easy, but all that requires planning and research still. The limit is there, which I agree is quite redundant because it limits the replayability of the games, but besides that most of them allow you to equip a weapon before reallocation and gives instant stats feedback before accepting the reallocation of levels.

You hit the nail on the head with why souls fans overrate the games. I started the franchise because I heard it was like MonHun but harder. I beat the main trilogy and elden ring, but I’ve come to find the fans are so petty. They’re games, they’re not real. Objectively, wii fit is harder.

idk why souls fans are so protective and insecure about these games that every legit criticism just gets responded with "skill issue", or "youre bad at the game". I love elden ring but i also agree with most of whats said here, its really not a "hard" game because it relies so heavily on trial and error. The worst part imo are the bosses, its just either learning a specific enemys pattern that doesnt help you in any other encounter or brute forcing. I mean yeah its a kind of difficulty but its just not fun. Theres basically no reactivity, combos, animation cancels etc, opportunities for actual skill expression. Of course there are some exceptions, like malenia whos funnily enough the one ppl call the "hardest".

Wrong

The graphics are dogshit 😂

your complaints are mostly just a bunch of nitpicks, with the one exception being the problem with enemies being able to hit your through walls. Yes these are all nitpicks but they don’t hinder everyone’s enjoyment of the games especially Elden ring. My advice would be to stop making these types of negative reactionary videos, nitpicking for 28 minutes won’t get you more subs

Criticizing the core gameplay is not just a nitpick. If i wanted to just grow my sub count i would simply jump to every trend making low effort videos to get many and fast clicks. I still do get a decent amount of subs.

deja vu

This is going to be a whole series so it makes sense i wouldn't leave it with an audio problem. If you watch it again tell me if it's any better.

@@SolonGaming I watched it and the audio was better. The only issue with the other version was the BG music being a bit loud and thus distracting.

​@@PS2_Best_Era Well i need to be as clear and coherent as possible, this is the Souls-like fandom we are talking about. They will find a way to deflect criticism using any excuse available.

Bro just made a generic ''skill issue'' comment worded differently.

Fair play this might be the worst thing I’ve ever watched and I’m only 2 mins in

Never heard that one before. Please tell me more about it and enlighten me with your wisdom. You sound very smart and clearly capable of understanding simple videos.
