'Hard' bosses you didn't find too difficult?

Big Boss · April 26, 2015, 11:28:46 AM

I mean bosses that are known for being notoriously difficult yet you managed to beat them with relative ease.

I didn't find the Fume Knight in DS2 too hard, despite it only having like a 3% pass rate...

I tend to find "hard" bosses easy and "easy" bosses difficult

For example the Capra demon is EZ but I still struggle with gargoyles

The Didact, hitting "X" was one of the most harrowing experiences I've faced in my time playing video games.

I played DS1 way later than everyone else so I knew what to do for most of the bosses (hello Bed of Chaos) but the Capra wasn't too difficult when you roll out of that first gangbang after the fog door

The Souls series. I never really understood why they're considered difficult.

Ásgeirr · April 26, 2015, 12:12:47 PM

Most of the optional bosses in FFX. And some in FFXII

big sponge · April 26, 2015, 01:15:30 PM

Apparently the boss in the tutorial of Dark Souls 1 is hard for first time players.

Verbatim · April 26, 2015, 01:17:02 PM

Considering you literally cannot and are not supposed to be able to beat him, yes. Yes he is.

And it's not made clear that you're not supposed to beat him unless you read a fucking message that's practically where he's standing. Which is bad conveyance.

People often confuse punishing with difficult.
You make a mistake, you're gonna get hit.
No mistakes and you're good.

Actually you can beat him cause I did. I apparently didn't get the memo that you were supposed to run away.

True Turquoise · April 26, 2015, 01:21:22 PM

Not going to start shit, but you can and easily defeat the tutorial boss in souls 1.

They just make it seem like you can't.

Dark Souls isn't hard, its just unfair and bullshit.

Maybe you are referring to something completely different, though. I assumed you were alluding to my experience there.

To the Dark Souls people, a broken sword still works against a fatass like him.

You mean like this? Only I was new and didn't know about the stab thing so I ended up doing it the long way.

You beat it with the broken sword that does 1 damage, or you beat it after you go around and jump down on it?

I saw the message that told me to run, so I ran. But only after the first few times it killed me. I figured, even if I could kill it, I probably wouldn't get anything, because the game wants me to run.

So, bad game design. No matter how you look at it.

I did it the long way. With the broken sword that did one damage because I didn't know any better.

That's nice? I'm just saying, that was my rationale for running. Just like everyone else. The fact that the game makes you think you can't beat him, when you CAN, is bad design.

I mean, maybe you encounter him later, though. So you can get the hammer thing or whatever at a later point.

I don't fucking know. I don't play bad games.
