reluctant to play this as i thought souls was hard enough.

It's probably the easiest of these games. Couple of hard bosses in the DLC mind you.

I'm genuinely torn. I know the reviews for this are great but I'm genuinely terrible at combat games and always have to set them to easiest mode. would I get any value from this game?

I would say no. I really struggled. I can play shooters and other type of games on hard level reasonably ok, but not great at combat games and this game drove me nuts.

As far as dark souls and bloodborne go, they are INCREDIBLY difficult for gamers not used to this type of thing. You will get a lot of people casually say "oh they're not so bad" but don't believe them, there's an element of showing off that they're good at such titles. However these games ARE very difficult to the point of becoming not enjoyable.
I played and finished all these games but I also played them on the pc and used cheats and on bloodborne the glitches before they were patched.

Aside from all of the'git gud' comments. these games aren't that hard, they just require a lot of practice and patience. if you don't want to re-play segments of the games over and over again then definitely don't play these games.
There's only 2 skills you need to play these games - roll/dodge timing, which comes with practice, and the patience to heal at the right time rather than panicking. The rest is just observation to learn boss move tells.
Of course there are times you absolutely won't be having fun, but overall they are very rewarding games with amazing worlds and lore (especially Bloodborne).

when are the times you won't have fun. even when i die i still enjoy the cautionary next round trying to retrieve my souls/blood echoes

well i played souls first and found it difficult, then played nioh and that too was difficult to the point i had to just sell it on.
is this any different?

Not played Nioh, but I've heard it's slightly easier than Bloodborne...so no, I wouldn't bother getting this if I was you.

This game!! it took me like 2 hours to kill the first enemy (a wolf beast) with my bare hands.
hackerace to ruslylove
23 May 17#16
ouch! sounds like a tough game then?

you're supposed to die and then you get given a choice of weapon.

I really wanted to like this game, but it's just too bloody hard...I couldn't even get past the first level :disappointed:

you should grind a bit to level up. Father Gascoigne is a bastasrd of a first boss. even veteran players will admit that.

Nioh is much more difficult and inferior in level design, gameplay and lore. In my opinion.

It's a fantastic game I got the plat on it yesterday, this was my first souls game the more you play the more you learn I went with the hunters axe on my play through best starting weapon imo

Congrats. The DLC (bundled in the GotY version) is pretty great as well if you haven't played that.

Would you say this is easier/better than Nioh?

Are standard copies of the packaging in English only? This differs because it is multi language packaging?

Its not easier, I personally preferred Niohs style and combat system. Also 60fps on Nioh

Has anyone played The Surge , I hear its got the same style of combat?

I didn't like this as first, as it took me about 5 hours to get to the checkpoint after the bonfire really early on in the game. I kept dying over and over, dozens and dozens of times in total, and you encounter the same enemies in exactly the same positions every time, Groundhog day style.
Eventually something clicked and I 'got' it and ended up putting 130 hours into the game - really enjoyed it once I'd got over that initial hurdle. I had to New Game+ to see the DLC, as it's hard to trigger first time round, and also I'd missed about 1/4 of the areas and bosses first time round, so definitely worth playing twice (though the enemies are all at least 2x tougher 2nd time round!)

I got stuck on Orphan of Kos for about 5 hours, that definitely wasn't fun :smiley: I struggled with Gascoigne on my first playthrough too, and there's some very tough bosses in the cursed Challice dungeons.
I've broken a few controllers on the Souls games. On the other hand though I got a huge buzz from beating some bosses - Artorias, Manus, Sister Friede, Lothric, Kalameet etc. That reminds me, I still have Darkeater Midir to beat.

I love the souls games and Bloodborne . The hardest bit about this is the start , I would say as there is a very long stretch where you can't lvl and father gasgoine is a very hard boss . Oh and amagadala in the chalice dungeons

i definitely agree with the buzz from beating them. also Gasgoigne is a ****. Even on my NG+ i still thought he was a **** and i knew the music box trick.
