A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Dragon's Dogma. WTF? Why did nobody tell me it was good? Why do people describe it as "hack and slash"? It's a proper ARPG. Also, do I just suck or is it actually this hard?

I've beaten all the souls games multiple times but I got stuck in DD pretty early on and just quit out of frustration. I've been meaning to go back but I do think it actually is that hard.

Figured it out! It's not hard. It's actually quite easy. It just gives zero fucks about letting you know the level of the enemies or the areas where they are. I got a quest to gather some flowers at level 5 and was told they could be found in the outskirts of the city so I went south out of chance. Turns out that's 20ish level area. Perhaps the same happened to you.
