Asmongold explains why Elden Ring isn\u2019t easier than Dark Souls games FromSoftware \/ Twitch: AsmongoldAsmongold doesn\u2019t believe Elden Ring is easier than Dark Souls games, explaining that it might be the case for veterans who use all the tools at their disposal, but not for average players. FromSoftware titles like Elden Ring and Dark Souls are notoriously difficult. In an interview with The New Yorker, Hidetaka Miyazaki, the company\u2019s President, said it\u2019s a part of their \u201cidentity.\u201d As a result, players often compare the difficulty between their games. Some have been convinced Elden Ring is easier than its predecessors. However, Asmongold doesn\u2019t buy into that same narrative, and he\u2019s explained why. \u201cI actually don\u2019t think Elden Ring is FromSoftware\u2019s easiest game,\u201d he said. \u201cI haven\u2019t done the hardest bosses yet, but I think the reason why it\u2019s considered their easiest game is because [the people saying it] are veterans. \u201cElden Ring gives you the most tools, and because you have so many tools and so many things you can do, an experienced player can make it easier than any other game besides Dark Souls 1.\u201d However, he doesn\u2019t think these tools will make things much easier for less experienced players. \u201cAn average player doing an average playthrough of the game will have an experience similar to Dark Souls 3.\u201d He also shut down claims that Spirit Ashes are what makes it easy. \u201cHaving spirits is not that big of a deal. It\u2019s completely optional. You can turn it on and off whenever you want between different attempts.\u201d Asmon also downplayed the difficulty of its predecessors. \u201cThe first hard Dark Souls game was Dark Souls 3. Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 2 are easy games. They are a joke. Dark souls 3 was the only one that was hard.\u201d Though he admitted that both Sekiro and Bloodborne are harder than the rest, which tends to be the consensus among the community based on polls because the combat is faster and less forgiving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
