Were the Souls games the first truly difficult video games? Were any games before DeS even remotely difficult, or something that would pose a challenge to a top tier expert Souls player?

Other FromSoft games feature similar aspects as in the Souls series, such as fast paced combat etc.

A good example for that is the Armored Core series, which is quite good in terms of difficulty.

ITT thread niggers forgot where the term roguelike came from

ROGUE

the game was odd to the commercial market and thus a gem, because it took sadder, softer versions of harder game mechanics, and sold it to children and gave out stream copies to streamers before review embargo

so we have people pvp speccing day 1 now, we got the hex builds, we get 1 new mechanic and they expect us to feel the same mystery

they had lightning in a bottle, and they poured it into some common ass spag
