(Venting/rant) How are you expected to have fun? It’s like they chop off both your legs and expect you to run a marathon. I’m at the beginning with the gargoyle and bird thing. Would be nice if i could match their flurry of attacks or defend… at all. You start off op af. Get neutered. Then essentially meet two people in a back alley who want to stomp the crap out of you and you’re nothing but an infant. I like a challenge, but give me something so i can overcome that challenge. Don’t strip me naked and expect me to juggle with my cock out while giving a powerpoint presentation. seriously. I’m a long time, big time fan of the other games. And to those of you that are thinking “this guy is a pussy”, dark souls, dark souls 3, bloodborne, elden ring. Multiple playthroughs on each. I played so much dark souls that my save got corrupted and i made a new character and not only got to where i was, but surpassed that character. New game 7+ level 400+. Don’t come at me with that bs. From Software deliberately designs something with a challenge without it feeling impossible. Symphony of the Night gets so much hype! Why? I much rather play Castlevania 64 which most people say is trash, but i fucking love that game. Unpopular opinion, but it did a lot with very little. Considering all the hardware and software limitations of the time, it was a phenomenal game. Imagine if there was a remake with a more recent engine. Could easily recreate it in a better playable state if using the the from software engine. I digress. How are you supposed to make it past the chicken+gargoyle boss? How?! I can understand bosses being a skill check, but there’s no skill in being a double amputee and expected to perform under pressure. The player should earn loot, develop skills, then face off against a boss challenges them accordingly. This is like taking away someone’s hammer and expecting them to push a nail through a board with their bare hands.
