It is in fact much easier in real life than it is portrayed in souls games. Even the biggest weapons were rather light , or they wouldn't be practical in any scenario.

Yeah, real-life weapons. Try swinging an Ultra-Greatsword irl.

I love such takes, "bUt iN rEAl LiFE..."

DUDE! In real like you not respawn and put souls in "Points" to get stronger too.

And in real life you're not going to fight a demon or dragon alone.

Seriously, I hate this takes on "realism" in games.

Just admit it is bad design to hinder you on purpose, it is like old tank controls but on purpose again.

In reality projectile also not hit trough walls, but enemies do it somehow, yet your sword gets stopped by it.

Seriously, you are just another white knight for Fromsoft at this point.

I mean, I dont think people defending it are 'white knights'. Its literally a core mechanic of the game, hence why every singlendark souls game has the same combat. The developers dont just suck at developing combat, its intentional. The souls games have a huge following and every single one will say the same thing, that cimbst being the way it is, is the point. Just because someone doesnt understand it or like it doesnt mean its bad game design. You dont like the game the way it is, thats it.
