Welp. That didn't last long.

I've decided to stop playing #DemonsSouls.

Combat is great. The world is great. It looks great. But fuck, I cannot fucking stand having to trapse through 2 minutes of level just to get back to a boss fight (in which I'll likely die soon after entering the arena).

I'm very early. I've heard that frustration will only increase as I progress through the game and you know what? I don't have that sort of time.

Trying to put this frustration onto the internet is hard because you invariably get hit with the comments about 'getting gd' or some bullshit about how Fromsoft's design philosophy is unimpeachable...but nah, I just don't have the time.

So I'm going to jump off and move onto something I might actually enjoy; maybe it's time to replay #Sekiro or give #LordsoftheFallen (2023) another look?

Goodbye #ReadAlongWhilstDanPlaysDemonsSouls, I barely knew ya.

@danielholt I think that stopping playing the game is a very sensible thing to do, because yes, as amazing as the world is, the way levels are structured in there can be pretty frustrating. And there's a few of them (especially 3-2 and 4-2 come to mind) where the runback to the boss is an absolute nightmare. And once you've explored the level and the only thing left to do is fight the boss, having to do all that runback is just a chore. Thankfully they fixed that in later games...
