>>19661099Sure I'll agree that sitting there duping infinite souls and leveling to lvl 600 to a point where the healthbar is covering 90% of the top of the screen is stupid. But barely anyone does that though. If you play the game normally, killing the enemies in an area at least once, leveling enough to use the weapons you wanna use(like I did for the guts build), etc. You're not "power levelling" you're playing the fucking game ffs. I hate that youtubers and the online community popularized that the "correct" way to play the souls games is by skipping every enemy, rushing to bosses and autistically smashing your head against the boss until you kill it. You're completely ignoring all the level design, the items, the abilities, the skills, and just going full unga buga mode. Just to feel good about how "hard" the game is.
But listen, I don't wanna discredit your feeling of accomplishment for taking 12 hours to beat Malenia. My point is just that you beat Malenia the same way that the guy like me who came in there with my weapon as maxxed as the devs allowed me to upgrade it to that point, with as many Runes as the game allowed me to get organically and I beat her in 2 tries. You chose to make it harder. The games aren't hard.
