FromSoftware's absolutely abysmal hitboxes

Eh, they're mostly pretty good, but spinning niggas grabbing, or 'shockwave' hotboxes are legitimate complaints with these games.
They're hard by normie assassins creed player standards, in that there aren't constant checkpoints and no real risk of time lost, but rather you risk shit constantly.
That's the appeal though for most.
Personally I'd prefer if they didn't make the extreme hardcore difficulty meme the main point, and instead went for cohesive atmosphere.
Which is why I prefer demons souls and bloodborne to the rest.

What are some of these
>far better made games
?
Looking for something to play.

I agree with both points, and blame prepare to die edition and ds2 for the difficulty at the expense of quality focus.
Ahhh DeSposting! I miss that Lil nigga like you wouldn't believe.

Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 (not the 2D platformers, the reboots)

Don't be a fucking pedant user, I can't stand fucking autistic dicks who zero in on one tiny point of contention and derail threads arguing over them.
The souls series became focused on difficulty at some point after DeS. Was it 2? DaS on pc? Who fucking cares?
Fact is, it did. And the series is worse for it.
