StaceyPowers Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Have you ever played any games where you hit a wall early in the main quest line and struggled to proceed? It could be because of difficulty, not understanding a game mechanic, or some other issue. How did you deal with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Yes! There has been a point right when I couldn’t take any more of the primary quest line in a game. It happened to me in Dark souls. I was stuck on a boss fight for hours, and I got frustrated quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Dark Souls immediately comes to mind. Early on, you face the Taurus Demon, and it’s such a steep difficulty spike that I hit a wall there. I had no clue how to parry or even use half the items in my inventory. Eventually, I had to look up a guide, practice timing, and really learn the mechanics. Once I did, the game became much more manageable, though still challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Souls is indeed a classic example. The Taurus Demon is very tough. I think many of us have been there and hitting a wall will definitely make you feel frustrated.

Scorpion Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Yes, I struggled with Dark Souls' Anor Londo and Sekiro's Isshin Ashina; online guides and YouTube tutorials saved me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, those bosses are very brutal. Anor Londo and Isshin Ashina's attacks are very challenging. I find some online resources to be lifesavers when I'm in this situation.
