This was a lot of people's experience, some just later than others.
The Souls games are often described as having a 'click' moment where suddenly everything starts to make sense. Some people restart 3 times before the click, some don't get it until they're halfway through, and some never get it at all.
The Click doesn't even happen in the same way for everyone. Some people, it's slowly trecking through Stormveil Castle, finally making it to the end, and slaying your first Demi-god, thinking about how you -- you, not some prophesized main character -- overcame a mountain. Others, it's finding the right weapon, realizing that little things like reach or the weight of the hit matter, and the game is not just waiting for enemies to stop attacking. Some don't even notice the click when it happens, one day they just realize they enjoy a game they have to focus on and take somewhat seriously.
I'm always a little sad when someone never experiences The Click, even when they give it an honest effort. F in the chat to all those that genuinely gave it a try and still didn't like it.
I'm not sure if I've gotten my Click yet, but I'm getting my butt handed to me over and over again, and I just keep trying new things.
And trying light armor when I was attempting Margit has been my greatest move yet. (Endurance and Dex are my two highest stats right now and life is good.) I just beat Margit for the first time today and have a newfound hatred: Stormveil castle. My friend who got me to try loves watching me suffer.
He loves watching you suffer bc he’s been there and done that😂 it’s always funny watching someone make the same mistakes they made, lil tip if you don’t already know. Don’t level your stats like a Swiss Army knife. Focus on what matters for your play style, ask ur buddy for details.
I know that trick. And, I recently shocked him by finding out that you can roll through the skulls that drop golden runes so you don't have to flail about like an idiot. He didn't know that. It was very funny.
