!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Yeah, I noticed this too. It's an unpopular opinion to think that dark souls is not hard but just frustratingly clunky in order to make it appear hard.

It's just not satisfying. Reminds me of certain old games that were made artificially hard by dumb mechanics only to make them last longer.

I've played hard games that were satisfying to beat, then I tried several dark souls games (included elden ring and a myriad of soulslikes) and found them obnoxiously clunky and unfun.

They feel like playing the old Dragon's Lair arcade game. Duck, swing, move left on cue etc.
