That's funny seeing as one of the first Dark Souls tutorial missions is teaching players to recognize when a boss might just be too much for them and to evade certain dangers and come back later, there's also pathways also open in the game that new unexperienced players are expected to avoid, which they might recognize by them being fucked by the Mobs there quickly and some Minibosses which merit skipping and coming back to later with better gear and more experience. That aside, Dark Souls is a pure H&S ARPG with its focus purely on combat and the systems around it and as such has more in common with other pure ARPGs like Diablo but is even closer to 3rd person action games like Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers or God of War than what most people consider Open World RPGs with dialogue, faction systems, quest hubs and lots of quests. Dark Souls has even more minimal dialogue than Diablo.That's why Dark Souls is extremely satisfying when you git gud while this game is like a puzzle challenge with correct path where you avoid instagib shit until you are strong enough to press I win button.
Ofc people who haven't played any Souls game / Ninja Gaiden know shit about proper action combat and are easily impressed by sad turds like Elex. Western action RPGs are fucking space years behind in proper exection of simple combat mechanics.
And don't you fucking tell me about good combat system when I have beaten all Souls games on SL 1 run. I know when shit combat is shit and when it's good.
Other than that I don't get how you don't get that it's an Open World game and some mobs are beyond your abilities before you manage to get back on your feet, get some equipment together and improve your skills while getting support from the respective factions and that running away from a fight or using companions is a purposeful design choice in early game where your character can only wear an iron pipe or a rusty axe or that you should be able to defeat every enemy with these things just because you'd like to.
No. They're just idiots.To be fair to the whiners tho....it does seem they have possibly overdone it this time around? I haven't really started my Elex playthrough yet but in all Gothics and all Risens there were SOME enemies at the start that you could kill pretty comfortably. Is every single starting creature in Elex a crushing machine of death?
