Soulslikes are inherently fair in a Nietzschean, pre-Christian sense of the word. The better you are, the easier they are. But that's just a direct input - output equation. That's just skill. The Nietzschean factor comes in, when Soulslikes reward skillfull players with more souls, levels and consumables than bad players. Demon's Souls does this best, despite being the easiest Soulsgame, because the only way to get healing items is by killing enemies. IF you consistently clear levels with net negative healing items, you will be rewarded with an extremely frustrating game experience and at some point you either have to figure out a way to grind and git gud or the game literally softlocks you permanently.

a lot of this is flat out not true
>when Soulslikes reward skillfull players with more souls, levels and consumables than bad players.
people who have to refight normal enemies lots of times inherently build up higher levels and drops
and this isnt a bad thing

I did say something to that effect though:
>and at some point you either have to figure out a way to grind and git gud or the game literally softlocks you permanently.
With world tendency the game even naturally transforms the world and makes it both harder, but also more rewarding to grind.

>The better you are
and how much of this "skill" is just knowledge of an enemy's attack animations?

only thing kiling souls is cancerous r*ddit niggers like that faggot who made the seamless coop mod ... he said himself his only lifes goal is to ruin souls pvp and to destory "rapist" invaders

How can Nietzscheanism be pre-christian if moustachio with syphilis existed inside of an ocean of ideas either created or altered by christian thought?

Huh?

Counterpoint: Souls like games suck and arent hard, thus defeating the whole objective of struggling for the sake of struggle because it is lacking after a while
>>
>>739439670
You can sit for a month and learn every frame of every attack animation there is but that won't save your sorry ass if your reflexes are shit, if you're fighting against multiple enemies, if you're cooping against boss and you don't have agro.
My pulled-out-of-ass PRO GAMER estimate would be like 20-25% max.

Imagine a grandma playing the game, who is constantly dying and losing more healing items than she gains every run. What happens?

>>739440193
They aren't supposed to be ultra hard though.

>le old people are retarded
If an older person can understand the mechanics of Soulslikes to play it then they can understand taking different approaches to succeed or simply brute forcing their way to victory.
>>
>>739440919
Yeah, but that's my entire point. Soulsgames aren't supposed to be these ultra brutal experiences, where you grind and hit your head against the wall for 3 hours, until you finally beat it. You can win that way, but it's inherently better to win by just playing the game at a higher skill level and effortlessly breezing through the content. That is what the game rewards.
