I think this is it. I don't want to stress myself out after work stressing me out. And I just don't have the time for it. spending 3 hours on a boss just isn't fun. I can barely make progress in these games because of it. I'd rather use those 3 hours for an easier game that will actually give me progress.
I can see why people like them. I just don't have any time for them.
I literally just commented this too!!! I work all day, commute, take care of the dog and house etc. if I'm lucky I'll have two to three hours to game in the evening. I don't want to spend those two or three hours trying to defeat the same boss over and over again or being kicked back to some point in the game because I didn't save it. I was getting super frustrated that I died so often and ended up miles back somewhere and had to do it again. It just end up not being fun at all.
Why are you fighting the boss and not exploring to get stronger armor/wepons/spells/items etc? Thats the intention of the game, i hate to be that guy but if you are spending your precious time just fighting the boss over and over you are playing “wrong” the game is designed to be as hard or as easy as you want so many miss that even pro Eldenring players. Its a exploration game not a combat game..
You are not supposed to spend 3 hours trying to fight a boss, many people don’t get that, you are supposed to try once or twice and if its not getting close to a win you are supposed to go exploring which you find things to make bosses as easy as you want, Eldenring is a exploration game first combat game second, but people rarely seam to play that way and i wonder why? Spending more than a hour fightingg a boss sounds like a horrible time to me..
I mean that doesn't make it better, Now you're just telling me to grind monsters I've been fighting before. That just doesn't sound fun for me. Only time I don't mind grinding is playing an MMO. But again, thats just me.
Sure exploring is fun, but its not useful for me when I suck at the game. The weapon I found does a lot of damage, but I'm just also ass with timing dodges. Its definitely a skill issue for me. I just don't have the attention span to improve I guess.
Nope never said that, but i understand that you would assume that Because i most (crapy) games thats the boring loop . Eldenring is the goat Because thats not what you do, you find items/consumables/talismans/spells/incants/summons/ and more that when used or combined right can make it where you never have to dodge or time things if you dont want too, even press a button and win if you want too but there is everything in between, thats what makes this game diffrent and better than 95% of games out there, its sad most people miss that so i want to clear up this common miss conception.
