The only coping mechanism I see around here is you desperately trying to respond negatively to every one of my glorious posts. Because I live rent free in your tiny head. You quote me in your signature, you just HAVE to respond to everything I say. The butthurt must run deep indeed. Just like Zed Doink of Banville has to negatively rate everything I say because I embarrassed his tastes in literature and games. Whereas I couldn't care less about either of your posts if I tried.
But carry on, you amuse me.
Don't overthink it Porky, I just like (probably too much) to quote the Pinwheel post whenever I can because it's amusing. I marked you as my mortal enemy the moment I saw you didn't like Icewind Dale, but I'm not powerful enough to do anything about it.
I'm the lead general of the "Elden Ring is so easy" brigade and I've played my entire first playthrough with a claymore. Zero summons or online guides, and I would sooner have sex with a thousand rustys than watch a streamer even for a second.
Post a video of fighting some tough boss with some identifying info. Never saw you do that in any FS game. My guess is that's because you cheese the fights. No one who brags so much about how easy stuff is could actually have any skill, my see-through friend.
I'm repeating this only because I don't want legit opinions to disappear under the pile of shitposting: my crusade isn't against people who say the endgame bosses are hard, but against those who are convinced they are impossible and unreasonably unfair. I already stated multiple times that Malenia is soul-crushingly hard, I'm not deranged enough to think the contrary. But then people come up saying she is impossible and her moves are unavoidable, when there are at least 4 separate categories of tools to deal with it (greatshields, dodge-like ashes of war, status effects, stagger through damage). Sure, the attack is humanly impossible to avoid by just pressing circle without centuries of training, but how is it possible that people complain that these games are getting roll-spam simulators and then get mad when an attack can't be avoided by roll spamming?
But sure, I'll post a gameplay video. I had fun doing the same a couple of pages ago, ridiculing myself by failing to dodge every single attack against Morgott (and still killing him in 60 seconds). I'm just past Maliketh (which killed me multiple times because I'm playing without a shield and I'm clearly not good enough to support this playstyle), is Hoarah Loux okay? Radagon? For Malenia you'll have to wait while I go through the level.
Why do you sometimes get more runes when summoned? MOST of the time you get exactly the same amount when summoned for the same boss.
Is it possible that you're getting summoned in NG+ cycles?
Bad design is still bad desgin even if you find ways to deal with it and kill the boss.
A lot of people just think the hardest bosses are the best. If you look at a bunch of peoples boss tierlists for From Soft games you'll notice that the hardest ones tend to be peoples favourites for some reason. Perhaps because it's more of an event and naturally more memorable since you spend more time on that boss? Dunno
Usually FS puts more effort in the realization of every aspect of the hardest bossfights. Presentation, visual design, music, and even the discoveries and realizations leading to the boss itself. The Red Wolf of Radagon might be a cool boss, but he's an unnamed dog you find sitting in an empty library. On the other hand, Malenia might ruin your weekend, but she is a rot-goddess mommy with a golden arm and giant wings made of butterflies.
