Demon's Souls is hard as fuck and if you think otherwise there is a near 100% chance you are a zoomer shitstain playing it well after release with hundreds of hours experience from later Souls games and preconceived notions about the game.

Zoomers go back to DeS after having played all the other Souls games, guide in hand, look up the most OP cheese builds, and expect a kaizo bossrush where you sprint past all the enemies and the bosses are brutally difficult and chain 20 attacks together that you rollspam through, and are disappointed.

That's not what the game was at all or ever meant to be. It was always about the level designs themselves, the environments, the atmosphere, and the bosses were meant as more unique and memorable experiences that feel like they actually belong in that environment instead of just another rollspam jankfest against another humanoid boss.

It took me less time to go from first time playing Contra to a deathless clear than it did just to beat the first fucking area (1-1) of Demon's Souls.

I don't think zoomers realize the reputation Demon's Souls had around launch and for even a good decade later. It was the first of its kind and was much more punishing in terms of soul form and invasions. Souls was always seen as a very niche, very difficult, very hardcore game. This was not some casual's viewpoint, even those who were hardcore and underground universally acknowledged it as an extremely difficult and even obtuse game, viewed as far tougher than even old school Nintendo-hard games.

Souls is pretty hard, but at least in my experience of going in mostly blind it's not quite as difficult as something like GnG or Final Fight. Especially once you play it enough to pick up on the logic of how the levels are laid out, very similar to NES adventure games like Metroid or Zelda, you can usually find a lot of tools, items, and strategies that make the challenges much more manageable.

I played DeS on release and the "Dude it's so hard!" shit was always overblown by people who only played shitty cinematic console games and 3D Nintendo games. Stuff like the American release of DMC3 and Shinobi on PS2 made DeS look like a joke in terms of difficulty.

I played DeS first on ps3 in around 2010. It isn't hard. You just have to be cautious. It's punishing if you fail, but only 3 bosses are hard: False King Allant, Flamelurker and Maneaters.
>>
>>738796047
The hardest thing about it, at the time, was learning its mechanics and nuances because they were so different than what had been done in video games for more than a decade, along with a couple new conventions. It was like re-learning fluency in a language you hadn't spoken in 15 years. Or taking up carpentry again after a 15 year break. It felt just familiar enough to make the stumbles feel challenging. But, it is really forgiving if the player is willing to take a more conscientious approach to exploration and combat.

That being said, Demon's Souls is still my favorite of From's souls entries.
>>
>>738796363
>>738796047
Pure revisionist bullshit and zoomer larp. Even amongst hardcore niche communities, it was regarded as extremely difficult and unforgiving. You have to remember Souls filled a niche in gaming that quite literally did not exist prior to that point

95% of the people sucking off DMC3 or acting like it's hardest game ever never even beat DMD, let alone with halfway decent ranks, let alone with SS-ranks.

Calling shitters out on their larping bullshit isn't shitposting. People just don't care about DMC like they do about Souls, they just brute force a quick 6-10 hour run, praise it because they feel obligated due to its "classic" status, and then never touch it again.

The only retro games comparable to Souls are the absolute most brutal ones like Battletoads NES, Gradius 3 AC, Raiden II AC, Same3 AC, and NGB MNM (only with no save state/rewind for practice, otherwise they are still easier)

Basic shit like Zelda (including 2), CV (including 3US), Mega Man (including X and Zero), Contra, Ninja Gaiden, Shatterhand, Ducktales, Rescue Rangers, Hagane, Wild Guns, Soul Blazer, etc. aren't even close
>>
>>738794025
nah DeS had a lot of gimmick fights where you just do X and Y to win, no skill required. maybe a little trial and error to realize the gimmick but pure unadulterated skill DeS loses out to other Fromslop games. and no I played it blind, I didn't need a guide or a cheese build, I gotta respectfully disagree brudda

Ninja Gaiden, duh. Again, I can die as many times to getting boxed in by Armstrong's fucking volcano lines and retry as many times as I want until I win. It's not that hard to learn a 2-10 minute fight if you can retry it over and over again. That's the reason those games are harder moment to moment, because you can learn them faster. If I only had 1-10 lives with which I had to beat MGGR on max difficulty (without having done so before in a conventional way) sure, it would be harder than any old game.

Turns out using high stance 100% of the time doesn't work that well after a certain point kek

It's probably not wise to base your argument on a gamble that I'm just bullshitting and picking games at seemingly random. I point those games out as not being very hard because I have very little memory of struggling trying to finish them, so I was surprised to see them on the list.

I'm gonna also take a gamble, and assume you've never beaten Dustforce? I doubt many people on this board have. I would bet money nobody ITT has.

I struggled against him in ninja mode then swapped to samurai and started parrying everything.
Since the game has both nin and samurai I think the player is expected to be able to fight well in both styles, and swap between them each time the enemy does a red attack.

Listen, Ikaruga is impure, unfun, vastly overrated, and the tourist’s shmup of choice. But it’s not “one of the easier shmups”. It’s not one of the hardest either, but come on man, let’s be real. And then calling souls-likes arguably the hardest games of all time is just a joke, I have a feeling you might be trolling. I played them all on release and while I’ll admit my first runs took some attempts, the difficulty is just well-balanced and tuned. On the higher end sure but what you’re saying is outright retarded. Nobody ever gets stuck on any souls boss for more than like 30 attempts or about an hour or two. And that’s worst case, I’m fighting isshin for the first time stuff. Every casual gamer plays and beats souls games, while there are games out there that not even one percent of people can finish. Pull your head out of your ass

Every TGM fan knows Tetris the Grandmaster 1 is mogged in difficulty by its sequels; the game stops getting faster after the halfway point, in 2&3 you have to keep getting faster, and then there's the Death difficulty rabbit hole where if you aren't a god level player the game tells you to fuck off after a few minutes because it knows you won't stand a chance.

Zombies ate my neighbors. You ain't beating it with passwords as you need to stockpile supplies from previous levels.

i dont think any casual is having fun on their first few credits of iidx on dp, and iidx dp is its own game
not everyone has the same idea of how difficulty is compared and i think this is why difficulty levels are hard to justify. if we stick to iidx as an example, is it how difficult a chart is to achieve an assist clear? normal clear? hard clear? ex-hard clear? full combo? AAA? MAX? do we consider RANDOM?

People have made the claim that they did, but I've never seen any proofs.

>>738807790
I meant one of the easier shmups on the list.

And I never called Souls the hardest game of all time, I said one of the hardest of all time just to simply beat, and even compared to hardest difficulty in games, it's still harder than overwhelming vast majoirty. You have to throw a bunch of qualifiers like no death or max ranks to actually get harder than Souls (and that's before adding any qualifiers onto Souls)

>Nobody ever gets stuck on any souls boss for more than like 30 attempts or about an hour or two.
That's absolutely not true, and even if it were, bosses are only one part of the game, stages are significantly harder (at least prior to 3), the games have dozens of bosses, and runbacks are several minutes long, and many are difficult in their own right.

You really think something like Contra or Zelda 2 or GnG or Battletoads is all that hard if someone has the same tenacity for those gamss as this hypothetical Souls player does for Souls?

If you were playing the game embedded at like 320x240, you might not have been able to rub the tiny, pixel-sized spot that makes the bar go up way faster. You have to basically hammer on that and use the right items at the right time simultaneously.

Demons Souls is hard but it's also one of those games where the moment you learn the games weaknesses it breaks wide open. Like Knowing where to get the Dragon Longsword, The Crescent Falchion and the Lava bow and the game runs out of real threats to throw at you.
