I liked the visuals of Demon’s Souls a lot and appreciate the level designs, but even though I managed to finish the game, I found the levels themselves a little too hard sometimes - especially the poison swamp levels. A little too much going on for how little is available to you, I feel like.
How about you?
Yeah my problem with ER bosses is not the delayed attacks, it’s the many-hit strings that can last several seconds and hit a significant percentage of the arena. There are some absolutely absurd boss attacks, especially in the DLC, that I just refuse to believe were ever playtested by traditional no-shield strength builds. The charge attack from the boar guy is a great isolated example.
