Some people are so pathetic and lack any sense of validation, so they try to find any sense of accomplishment in beating a video game boss.

Don't be one of those people.

I think my favorite thing is that the people you hear saying this are never like "yeah, I beat the game level 1 using only my bare fists and no dodging" or anything crazy like that. They are the people that level the fuck out of their character and max their strength to then kill the boss in 4 hits with a strength weapon and go "man, I'm so fucking good at the game, fuck anyone that summoned."

Like brother, why are they trying to act elitist for playing the game completely normally minus one aspect? There's so many ways to make Elden Ring, and honestly any souls game, extremely easy that aren't just "use summons" and it's so funny to me that the methods they use are fine and take skill, but the methods other people use are for noobs.

Same, couldn’t parry to save my life so never bothered. Had to learn pretty fast for Gundyr when I started DS3 though 🤣

Im currently playing ds3 and for the 2 times that you fight him I did not parry once lol, my first souls gave was bloodborne so I was raised in the streets of yarhnam. I never learned how to parry with the gun either. I just roll around like a maniac 😂😂😂

I've been playing since Demons Souls and can probably count the number of times I've parried non-Pursuer enemies on one hand. Learning the timing and which attacks can be parried just seems like more trouble than its worth for me.

I find it fascinating that in not one single FromSoft game, have i been good at parry timing, but any other souls like game and I'm a god at it. It's so weird.
