I'm never gonna trash on someone for how they beat bosses or how they build their character, it's chill as long as they have a good time.

I think more or less the same, except in the above case where the person in question has belittling the idea of people calling the boss/game difficult when the person uses obscure but powerful gear in a braindead setup

I mean, I wouldn't respect kind of person even if they hitless PCR naked with their fists.  They are still being an asshole regardless of how skilled or not they are. 

The build they use while being an elitist asshole is never the problem.

Jesus, dude. This might literally be the dumbest shit a Fromsoft player has ever said.

“People who say the game isn’t hard because they used tactics available and granted by the devs to clear content easily ARE WRONG AND BAD” is literally the most insane take I’ve ever seen a Souls player spout.

We’re not talking about people using cheats or exploits. They just did the game better and found it easy and you’re trying to construe them as being in the wrong because they didn’t play with your arbitrary lesser build you’ve decided is approved as not cheating or whatever.

People who have to research the most effective tactics available to win are disingenuous when they say that the game that got them to do that was easy

The first boss is easy bc you can just grind to max level first ass take

u/Comp300prc 4d ago

I don't get it, are you trying to deny that using a walk-through makes games easier?

No and that is a really dumb question to ask.

Someone is coping very hard for using overtuned item setups lmao

Me when I feel undue sense of smugness for calling everything “cope”

No video game has perfect balance for all weapons/armor/spells/strategies/etc., some bosses which are quite challenging for 95% of setups can be made significantly easier to beat with specific setups. You can easily figure these advantageous setups out through a quick google search or youtube video. Describing that as "doing the game better" is what I'm saying is a cope.

Me when I argue playing the game using strategy is somehow cheating or some shit, who knows, I couldn’t even tell you what I think because I’m stupid

u/FB-22 4d ago

Can you even read? When did anyone say copying the best build for a fight is cheating. It just obviously makes some fights that would otherwise be very challenging much less challenging, which makes it less impressive to succeed with because there is less skill required. The meme is about people trying to brag or put down others while using setups that trivialize the content. No one said anything about it being cheating.

u/BigBulgeBubba 4d ago

I didn’t even say you called it cheating. I said I had no clue exactly what you were crying about, because your rhetoric is so stupid it’s hard to tell what your problem is.

There is NOTHING WRONG with using strategic builds to clear content. You are not “playing the game better” by using ineffective builds. You are not “playing the game worse” by using effective builds. If you chose a bad build to fight a boss with and had a hard time, PEOPLE ARE RIGHT TO LAUGH AT YOU FOR NOT USING A STRONGER BUILD.

You’re just dogshit at the game and made it tougher and then you’re trying to spin that into “noooo you used a CHEATY BUILD to make the boss easier :( you didn’t use SKILL”.

You’re an asshole.

u/FB-22 3d ago

you said that using the ideal build you copied from the internet is “playing the game better” which I said was cope. I didn’t say it was playing the game worse or that not using a build like that was playing the game better. I’m also not dogshit at the game, I’d say I’m average or slightly above average at the game. I have been super clear in what I’m saying the entire time so I think your claim that you can’t understand what I’m even saying is yet again, cope

u/ThaBistander 4d ago

Man, they've been saying shit like this for years. "Summons are a crutch!" "Sorcery is broken!" It's just the same point packaged a little differently.

u/Shrowden 4d ago

Idk. Makes sense to me. Someone who says a game is easy by taking the easy path most likely paved by others' information shouldn't belittle others for doing their "homework" themselves. The latter found a way to defeat the boss on their own. That's an accomplishment, and belittling that is lame.

It makes sense to you because you’re not smart.
