Hi i wish a great day for every member of this subreddit

I was planning to request a $20 gift card to purchase Dark souls remastered which is one of the games I'm really looking forward to but can't play because of the high prices

Probably you heard the term SoulsBorne and ever heard about their infamous very high difficulty which make lots of casual gamers who are looking just for fun and not challenges stay away from it

It's a true challenge. No joke about it. The game punishes you for your every wrong step. For your impatience or greed. But don't get me wrong, the game is so rewarding for the players who play it the right way. Here the right way covers lots of things. Keep in my that the game is an rpg and you have many ways to play and there is no only right way. There is many ways to play but there is some factors which can determine your success through the way.

It's not anything you can gain by watching a walkthrough or using meta weapons. It depends on yourself. Your skills and nothing else

That's why many people join in with mindset that they can somehow trick the game and end up not playing it But i promise that it's not the case for me I already played Bloodborne and it's dlc which i got gifted from this subreddit aswell. I had so much fun and played it for almost 400 hours, online and offline. Got every single trophy, weapon, killed every boss and opened every area

I died a lot through my journey. Maybe more than 300-400 times. But it didn't feel like a grind even once. In many games you might get frustrated and feel that you're grinding for nothing but this game is rewarding

so there is no feeling like this and i can have many hours of playtime on it just like i had on Bloodborne The gameplay style is somehow between hack and slash and rpg.

It might not be as customizable as games like Skyrim/Witcher in rpg genre but it holds very well. Selection of 100 weapons melee weapons along with many miracles and magics which can help you overcome the brutality of the game

Online servers are surprisingly still active so you can have much post game fun with them aswell. Activities like PVP and CO-OP helping people overcome the challenges of the game

Here i want to go a bit indepth of coop activity Coop activity is unlike many other titles is dependent on your progression aswell and every action you take in online mode affects your offline and story progression aswell

It has more complicated mechanics like there is a level range to team up with random phantoms(player) online. So as an example if you want to pvp you can't just be overpowered and kill low levels to destroy the fun for them.

Also pvp is an actual part of the game. In story progression they're called invasions

Imagine that you're running through an area. Spending minutes here and killed all enemies, looting and exploring everywhere peacefully, and then differently a phantom invades your world and you'll know it by a message on screen.

Now you have to be careful not to die as the death is far more punishing as you imagine and you'll explain this later aswell.

So you want to stay on guard. You don't know where is the Phantom and you don't know where you can get to the boss to finally be free from the Phantom It's a very fun mechanics which adds many possibilities and unexpected encounters And it's even better. We got many wholesome communities both here on Reddit and on Discord who are ready to help you with every problem you have and you can even go and help them in coop when they're in danger

Now why the death is punishing. There is a mechanic named humanity You start on human form with maximum health based on your stats. When you die you'll lose that maximum and it eventually gets to minimum of 50% of health and there is just a few limited ways to bring it back which are hard on their own aswell so it's better just not to die

I hope that these were convincing enough for you to see that despite knowing the brutality of the game i won't give up and it and will play to platinum and even more
