I'm sorry but I just cannot buy the argument that SotE boss fights don't have overtuning or design problems when the people making those arguments are telling people to use fucking horse iframes to avoid attacks
"why should i have to use the horse iframes" if i played a game with horse iframes you would not be able to stop me from rubbing the horse iframes against every problem are you kidding me
I feel like after a certain point you have to conclude the superfans just enjoy tedium.
as somebody who is a soulsborne superfan: ER's boss combat design is absolutely miserable lmao. all of 2 boss fights in the entire game that i actually had fun with. haven't even bothered getting the DLC bc i'm sure it only leans harder into the awkward unfun attack timings and random combo strings
I gave up before hitting but one major boss; I just was completely bored by the NPCs and story stuff. Total reversal from the original game for me. I just didn't care.
That feel when the level is so bullshit-stuffed the only reasonable response is to just run past it and not play the level, and you get to the boss apparently requiring horse iframes, like -
It was seeing that that convinced me to silence the tag and forever leave those people to their situation, for whever they were going I did not care to follow.
