I also don't get why ppl say BB is the easiest of them all.
Sure, ppl who played DeS,DaS,DaS II are going to be more trained in souls games even if the mechanics changed a bit. But i think that people who play BB for the first time have it harder compared to the other games.
Other games have shields where you can hide behind and survive a lot of encounters with doing little offensive action. Can't do this in BB
Other games had magic and bows to cheese 50 % of the enemies from far away. Starting DeS with Royal and the harry potter soul arrow made the game and bosses incredible more easy (Flamelurker is a joke with soul arrow).
Good players played the souls games only two-handed, rolling and doging a lot - no wonder that they breeze through BB, because the mechanics empower exactly this.
Edit: gah, my english is even worse than usual. 01:36 am here and i should go to sleep. This game -_-
Nah, you made a good point. I typically played magic and ranged in DeS & DaS and there was definitely an adjustment period for me. I'm finally getting comfortable with melee, watching the enemies and bosses and rolling and countering at the right time. I was getting pretty frustrated but I pounded on BSB and VC just now. Feeling like my skill levels are creeping their way up.
