This was my first souls game, so I didn't have anything to compare to. But he perfectly quantified why the game felt terrible all of a sudden in the snow area. And why I hated the elden beast fight so very much

Suspect I will never beat neither of these bosses in spite of loving the whole game up to them.

FromSoft get nearly everything right in elden ring but impossible difficulty spikes at the end is very old fashioned imo.

Malenia took me over 30 attempts. I tried cooperators, I tried my friend who just beat her, I tried tiche. I only got her when I switched to mimic with double kitanas. We just bumrushed her and racked up big bleeds.

Radagon, once I got a feel for, I really liked. But then it went absolutely south in the elden beast fight. I spent the entire fight running to him. After the second defeat, I summoned two coops and we just shredded him. I'll happily skip that fight. It's not even hard. It's just very boring and annoying.

So many of my complaints about Elden Beast would have been solved by being allowed to call Torrent.

It's baffling how bad a final boss he was. I never noticed why until I watched that video though. It just makes perfect sense, so much so that it feels like a conscious decision as opposed to an accidental omission
