Like most outdated jap games, Dark souls doesn't reward anything unless you play exactly how they want you to. You have to play the entire game on your tip toes, tediously and cautiously walking through the levels because at any time something from fucking nowhere will come out and kill you and then you have to retry. Normally, a well made game wouldn't rely on cheap tricks like this. But nowadays people are so starved for difficult games they will actually not only settle for shit like this but praise it even. It's crazy.

I started playing Souls games the other day.

Part of the appeal to me is that they play like a military sim, you are presented with a stage with enemies at certain positions and a few ways of looking before taking action. So what I like to do is plan a way of dealing with the situation, thinking about possible ambushes, and then carrying that plan out without making mistakes.

It's a very strategical and tactical combat, I love it. Unless I'm playing this game wrong, I don't see how this could be seen as a flaw.

If I wanted to rush through everything I would just play Diablo.

Not only did you run into a corner like nothing, but you tried to hit back twice instead of rolling out of the attack.

All I see is a noob running into a trap without checking his surroundings. The camera could have been turned so you could see the gank squad leader. And you probably could have easily ran in to activate him, then roll out and fight the rest of them normally.

Lets assume that OP is not a faggot and that "trap" is actually unavoidable if you get sandwiched and they DO stunlock you to death.

What the fuck is wrong with that? Not only do these monsters breathe heavily, but you can also see them stuck to the wall by pointing the camera upwards. It's also not the first time they drop down hat boys on you in this level so you can't say you did not expect that.

Hell, let's assume that you can't see shit and you have to step on the trigger and roll back immediately to not get fucked.

Why the fuck did everyone so suddenly (well not suddenly, more like from the PC release of DaS) became such a fucking pussy about trial and error? What's wrong with memorizing shit and trying to do a perfect run till the next bonfire/shortcut?

Whoever made that webm ran full tilt around a corner with his camera pointed at the floor, and died unceremoniously in a fairly standard ambush. You can play this game stupidly running around without having any clue where you're going if you're good enough.

PS4 and PC are pretty much the same texture wise at 1080p. PS4 has lower res shadows and is 30fps (with next to zero frame drops). Meanwhile Xbone runs 900p, has jaggy shadows, and still manages to dip to the 20-25fps range frequently.

You do have control over it. You choose when to press forward, and when to retreat.
Blindly sprinting into an unknown area and getting murdered isn't artificial difficulty.

Witht he ability to be a walking rock, A ball of lazers and fire, a Dick ass thief, A ass dicked Archer? Gutz the struggler?

The only thing it doesn't allow you to be is a stupid fucking idiot with no general awareness and lack of common sense.

Because that is what all the people who preach artificial difficulty lack. Common fucking sense and awareness.

Each of those enemies can be noticed if you actually payed the slightest bit of attention. From the sound they make to the fact you can find them on a different path to the common sense of not running blindly into a hall you didn't bother to look down prior to that Leeroy Jenkins..

FYI. Tanks have to dodge sometimes too.

People have 2 definitions of artificial difficulty that don't correspond with each other:

1. Artificial difficulty as in an easy way of increasing difficulty (hp/damage boost, enemies that kill you in 1-2 hits rather than having a difficulty to deal with moveset that kills you in 4-5 hits)

2. Artificial difficulty as in difficulty of an encounter that relies on the first encounter and nothing else (first time you see an enemy ambushing and kick you off a cliff so you die, second time, you kill the enemy before he kicks you really easily and magically, all the difficulty is gone, so you don't die)
>>
>>333114432
Depends on the enemy poise. If it's a grave hag or generic zombie that works. If you try it on manspiders or firedogs you're in for a lot of suffering
>>
>>333104271

If you actually Look at the Webm you'd see that he tried to attack while backed into the corner, which is a bad idea, he should have rolled to the left toward his ambusher and the whole thing would have been fine.

Trial and error can be seen as a form of artificial difficulty since there's no skill involved in dealing with the difficulty, just minor knowledge that solves everything (exception would probably be puzzles). It's just a ''THINKFASTLOLUDED'' situation.
