How do we fix this problem in souls games?

>>737744819It's unbelievable really. It's 2026 and developers still haven't figured out how to fight giant monsters as a normal human protagonist. The best attempt so far probably was Shadow of the Collossus but that turned out to just be climbing dumb monsters and then stabbing the weak points.
>>737744819What if you played the big guy, who has to beat the little guys instead? Mmmm?
>>737744819Have a climb mechanic like Dragon Dogma.Fighting big bosses in Souls games is tedious because most of the time, you can only see their legs

>>737745072>fighting an enemy with a 99% evasion ratethat sounds awful
>>737745138Just stop the ground. Your attacks have a shockwave that makes dodging next to impossible if game design has taught me anything.
>>737744873... fuck you anon.
>>737745072It's an RPG so it's not really the same, but Labyrinth of Refrain had a chapter that was an extended attack on titan reference with your party being the titans.
>>737744819See: cyberdemon in Doom 2 (TNT, Plutonia 1&2). Thank you for your attention to this matter.
>>737744819You simply don't do it. In reality a giant monster like that would fucking annihilate armies of dudes. Even with magical arms and armor making you immune to damage a giant could pick you up and fling your ass into the next city. If you're going to have giant enemies, they should be dealt with via giant means. Huge fucking ballistae with explosive warheads, massive pitfall traps hoping it'll break its ankles, poison or other extreme methods should be the go-to. Otherwise you'll have to nerf the giant enemies into implausibly slow and retarded punching bags and that's no fun.
>>737745376Why do you think buster blades and giant swords like that exist in fantasy media? (To hurt bigger foes.) Usually giants are retarded in fiction and that's their flaw.
>>737744819How about you don't do it, instead anytime there's a giant enemy on the field you are expected to get in the giant robot yourself? Every giant enemy in Souls can happily roll and flop around so I don't see a problem if the player can do it.
>>737744873Just imagine her slowly burying you under her foot
>>737744819By not having a dogshit camera. There are very few games with large enemies that have a fitting camera for the encounter. The standard camera never works for that shit. If a developer isn't willing to go the extra mile and have a separate camera for large enemies then they have not earned the right to put large enemies in the game.
>>737745423Yeah I'm aware, but actually using those blades to kill a giant is ridiculously implausible. Even if a giant couldn't grab you without having its fingers sliced off, he could kick or fling the ground out from underneath you sending you flying.And yes, a retarded giant being outsmarted and slain by a quick and resourceful fighter with a massive sword is fucking kino, but in a video game that'll still just mean "hit the toes and dodge the stomps", and then the giant is just pathetic.
>>737744873based, also came here to post something like that
>>737744819>it was dark soles all alongeverything makes sense now
>>737744873FPBP
>>737744819I don't give a shit if hacking at a giant's feet kills it.I don't want realism. I want fun.
>>737745582Souls in general is just roll until you hit them enough to kill them. (unless its Gargoyles, those fuckers are a nuisance.)
