All of that is artificial, made by man.
All of that is forced, required to beat the game.
All of that is repetition, you have to do the same actions multiple times to beat a game.
Every game is 'Simon says' at the end of the day.

That enemy has a piercing weapon, which pokes, therefore not hitting the wall.

even basic footmen in starting area can have am escape mechanic type attack that isntantly breaks them out of stunlock and hits you which is very unintuitive for dark souls 1 player
>running past enemies to open chest/fog wall
dark souls 2 took away a lot of i-frames on some actions like doors or going in fog walls.
>rolls dont have as many i-frames
people made fun of dark souls 1 for being stupid because you "rolled into attacks" and devs felt offended so they made it so dark souls 2 was mroe about positioning and you dont need i-frames, they also made you need to spend stats to have good i-frames which newer players wouldnt know and if they tried to roll the same way as 1 they would die

You're genuinely a stupid person anon. I know that your ego and low intelligence makes this hard to accept, but I need you to think about how often you say [something] and everyone calls you a retard.
It isn't that you're way smarter than everyone else, you're on the wrong end of the bell curve.
>>
>>741804803
Most people didn't git gud at Dark Souls 1. They figured out one of the dozen or so wats to cheese Dark Souls 1, then figured that meant they beat the game. Which, in a way, they did.
DS2 is basically custom built to counter those forms of cheese, and relies on a lot more action game fundamentals.
If you play them from a position of actually having gotten good, Dark Souls 2 is by far the easiest in the series, but from an outside or newbie perspective it's easily the hardest, because they put in effort to make the game difficult to cheese.
Dark Souls 1, meanwhile, is more difficult than 2 if you play it while consciously avoiding cheese strats, but is trivial if you decide to use any of them.

Just, at a fundamental level. Dark Souls 2 expects you to actually play the levels. That alone filters a third of the fanbase who run past everything.

To be absolutely fair, while the shitty firelink elevator gets all the credit, the actual powerhouse in Dark Souls carrying all the weight is Darkroot and Valley of the Drakes.

>Dark Souls 1
99% of the difficulty in Dark Souls 1 is the lack of tutorials explaining how shit works, and the large attrition rate from the first few hours of the game when you don't understand any of the controls, stats, or anything else. Once you understand the fundamentals, Dark Souls 1 is pretty flaccid for the most part. Enemies are slow and stiff and generally only become threatening in very straining positions for the player. A player approaching Dark Souls 1 from a position of any prior experience with the franchise just doesn't get it. Including people who played Demon's before.
>Dark Souls 2
Dark Souls 2 is mostly difficult because the game expects you to take it seriously, something no other game in the franchise does. A lot of Dark Souls 2's difficulty boils down to making a stupid decision or writing something off, and having your hand slapped in response. You hear this often, but Dark Souls 2 is a game where when you die, you usually know exactly what you did to cause it. This is also why it generates incalculable levels of seathe, because much more responsibility for yiur death is put onto the player.
>Bloodborne
Bloodborne was hard when it was made because it was faster than the others.
That's it. This is also why it has aged extremely poorly. Playing BB after DS3, Sekiro, or Elden Ring is like playing Dark Souls 1 and knowing what all the stats do first. You just don't get the experience.
>DS3
Dark Souls 3 is hard because it expects you to remember patterns. Unfortunately this manifests as purely rollslop 90% of the time. Dark Souls 3 doesn't take its standard enemies or areas seriously.
>Elden Ring
Elden Ring is hard(?) because it says the boss in front of you is too complex to learn, but dumps overpowered shit into your lap like 1 and expects you to play ball. Elden Ring cares even less for its enemies and areas than DS3. The actual difficulty of Elden Ring is accepting that yes, that's it.
