You can surpass health limits and still take huge amounts of damage for reasons already mentioned. I already NG+ Dark Souls III like twice already so I legit got bored with it.

Altering Damage Values does affect the game's chsllenge but there are limits...

For example getting one shotted is no less difficult than being invincible.... its only Frustrating...

From Software saw fit to prevent you from being OP in their games but they do nothing to prevent you from being Under Powered.

This game (and Nioh) isn't really difficult... people just think it is because you die alot.

If it isn't difficult then why exactly haven't you finished NiOh? if so finish it, but then it would be difficult to take your posts serious if you download trainers.

During one of my play sessions after clearing out an entire area... The Power Went out... it had been going out all week.

Anyway I booted the game back up... found out that last hour of Progress literally never happened so I was like: "Fuck it... twas boring anyway."

Also lets be honest... Trainer or no Trainer you wouldn't take me seriously anyway.

That depends. You made pages talking about Dark Souls in some SK thread. I can understand that there are things not to one's liking. Sometimes I complain about things that shouldn't have been in DOA, but alas, it's in there and we managed to confront it, dealt with it, and used it as our own.

I can take a post serious if one is more keen to just accept how it is despite the outcome that didn't go in your favor. Not everything to a degree if it comes to a serious issue where it becomes a legitimate problem for your gaming experience, but some posts you make made it sound like it's an extreme issue and that it has to cater to you somehow. Almost nitpicking to the smallest things.

LoL.... Dark Souls cannot cater to me even if it tried....

The crap I bitch about wouldn't make me like the damn game anyway more if they decided to address those issues...

But I have to put myself in the mindset of someone who was dumb enough to believe the whole "Hard but Fair." Snake oil From Software is peddling.

Perhaps someone with kids or you know... a life.

So when I say something bad about a game that doesn't let you pause for any reason whatsoever under any circumstances... then its not because (just) because the game doesn't cater to me... its because this would be a genuine problem for someone other than me.

LoL... and you can't take me seriously ? You think those fan boys yelling "Git Gud." Are more reliable ?

From prevents you from being OP in dark souls? LMAO i can kill 50% of the bosses in that game in like 5 hits. HP isn’t really that necessary because certain builds do more damage with less HP.

@Crazy_Chin_Guy red tearstone baby!

to address the issue of practicality, it's not practical to play the game where you don't upgrade anything, but it's not really about being practical, it's about challenging myself. which can be said about any game i play on a harder difficulty or with a self imposed limitation, and that's kinda where im at with Dark Souls

truth be told, i've played so much dark souls i've reached the point where im like "man, i really love this game, but i know everything about it and there's nothing left to scare or surprise me and i'm kinda just going through the motions", that's why I do SL1 runs, it forces me to deal with a familiar situation but with a different set of tools and limited resources so it makes the experience fresh again

@Camel with 2 thumbs
I don't think any semblance of challenge can be salvaged from that game. whatever self imposed challenge you place on yourself. all it really proves is you've got alot of Free Time, because really thats all it takes to do a naked play through or no co-op challenge or only use a bow challenge.

Anybody can do most of these things, they don't though and its not because it would be too Challenging.

@Crazy_Chin_Guy
Yes they prevent you from being OP... Drop Rates for useful resources are lower, levelling up requires more Souls each time, You can't Stack Rings of the same type. Those are a few methods From Uses to stop you from Dominating Everything.

what do i know, i only have 900 hours in Dark souls.

LoL... So do I.

Again you're just proving my point. The game is a time sink. If anything playing the game longer just rotts your brain even further to the point where you actually believe that unlocking an illusory wall in Annor Londo by wearing a Ring you picked up in The catacombs, makes sense despite their being no connection between the two.

My Advice... play something else and get your sanity back.

Thats what I'm doing... I'm playing Assassin's Creed Syndicate so I can remember what decent design looks like... I need to remember what its like to have a game respect the fact that I might have other things to do...

Yes... Assassin's Creed... the series everybody looks down on.

I have 900 hours in it because i enjoy it, not because I couldn’t beat it and my sanity is perfectly intact.

You continue playing dark souls for 900 hours and you still complain? What the fuck is wrong with you.

LoL... why does everyone and their mother keep assuming I didn't beat Dark Souls ?

ITS NOT DIFFICULT !!!

As for why I continue to play it (yes I'm still playing it)... I honestly don't have an answer for either of us... more importantly, Does it Matter ?
