I should not need to explain this one.

Is this describing Baldur's gare or elden ring? Because it seems to apply to both to me
Was saying this about bg.
Right. But I think that applies to both. Lots of options and ways to solve problems, not just memorizing and following a recipe.
Yea but baldurs gate players dont pretend they are gods because they beat the HARDEST game(s)...
Yeah, that archetype of player is annoying, but I think it might be just a loud minority.
And i would still argue that baldurs gate is inherently not as "hard" as a multiplayer game where matchmaking exists. The fact that in games with that, you will only win 50% of your games if it works half decently is something you wont get in a single player game. The game wont get harder on your second playthrough.
Sure, but that seems like a separate, closely related, topic.
I was mostly objecting to the idea that souls games are just memorizing and pushing buttons. That accusation could be leveled at most single player games, but people seem to mostly bring it up to denigrate souls games.
Multiplayer often has less memorization though, as you say.
