A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I hate Dark Souls 3. It was just so boring to me.
I enjoyed the exploration: you can't just run through the game since death is around every corner, which made it exiting and rarely that frustrating.
But most Bosses where just so boring. You learn them once, and your reward is that you can actually play the good part of the game again. If I look at something like Monster Hunter, learning the Monster gives you a faster clear time, which makes farming easier and is satisfying that way. Learning a boss in DS reminded me when I was about to quit geometry dash - I just feel my time has been wasted.
There are a lot of cool builds! And you will probably only play one each playthrough, because leveling unlocks a playstyle, but levels get VERY expensive (and I don't think you can undo levels), so at some point you stop experimenting and just go with what you where already playing the last 20h.
These points made it hard for me to focus on the amazing parts of the game. The atmosphere, the combat and, as mentioned, exploration.
"If you hate it so much, why bother playing through it?": after beating abyss watchers, I said to my DS Friend that I don't like this game. He said "Get Good" so I did. It's still just not a fun game (for me)
