    I have a permanent dislike of these games because I had a roommate that played them all of the time. All day I’d hear ‘CLANG CLANG WHOOSH ROAR’ With very little variation, except every ten or fifteen minutes when he would die and scream ‘FUCK!’

    I’m sure they are fun, or at least addictive because it’s such a relief to actually win after being frustrated for so long,

    Like fun edging, I guess. Not for me.

    I really won’t be playing any soulslike games in the foreseeable future until I am retired. I simply don’t have time to be playing hard games now I am a working adult. I used to play more hard games because of the satisfaction of beating a challenge, but if I only I have enough time. I play games to unwind nowadays.

    I used to love them, like tons and tons of hours in elden ring, but I reached a point now where I don’t want to play anything that makes me that angry. I’d be absolutely malding but determined to beat whatever was there and happy when I did, but now I just don’t feel like having that experience anymore.

    Monster Hunter is pretty much as far as I’d go with “difficult” fights now.

      I gave up on Monster Hunter almost entirely because of Roars.

      It’s one of two things; either it’s a non-forecasted dodge roll moment, boiling down all of Souls design to “Use roll iframes at the exact right moment 8 times in a row”…OR, it’s a flow-breaker to the battle where you and the opponent are both stunned for about 5 seconds. Doesn’t matter what combo you were eager to practice with your 8-foot tuning fork-crossbow, all goes on hold because the monster wants a break.

      Sorry, probably not so relevant but it broke me off the series so much I wanted to mention it.

        Roars are very annoying, but I do like that you can build around that with earplugs. I always hate how perfectly timed the roars seem… Like I just needed .005 of a frame to finish and they get the roar off…

    Dang I thought the subr̵̙̣̈ȩ̶̤͗d̸̝̍͂ḑ̸̛̀i̶͔̿̋t̶͉̉͝ was called EldenWing and was just memes combining birds + Elden Ring
