Occasionally I am right believe it or not. ._. Still leaving my prior post up though. Anyway I started playing again. We shall see where the adventures of my character go and if I break a controller this time playing the game when I get stun locked into a corner in Blight Town due to the lag. What do you play on, and do you want a Sunbro? I could use an excuse to pick up DS1 again. I picked it up for 360 this time, never playing DS 1 on PC ever again. Edit: If you got the console and game in question and feel like playing with me, go ahead, I won't turn down phantoms that are actually helpful and not there to try to rape my hard won rat farmed humanity out of me.

So on DS3 I've finally injected the Git-Gud into my bloodstream. Been soloing the bosses and murdering them. My handy Black Knight Shield and Irithyll Straight Sword see to it that anything from the Dancer to pesky invaders are murdered. (The skill attack does work against invaders as well). Also my rolls have gotten more on point. There aren't spammed but rather timed well.
As for DS1, I still need to inject the Git-Gud. I've gotten a little father however I still need to find my way to Blight Town, and then Sens Fortress. However I am finding the game quite harder than DS3. Then again, thanks to DS3 I stand a chance. Haven't been invaded yet oddly despite having humanity yet I'm sure there will be a Giantdad waiting for me.

I'm just farming souls these days to be honest...I am trying to get 25+ Faith for various reasons, its taking ages even by farming the tomb of the giants and their 1,000+ soul per enemy drops. I gotta kill like 40 per level and its taking AGES.

Messing around with spears at the moment, results have been....okay.

The big thing with the spear is of course the ability to attack while using the shield, it makes a few boss fights cake walks, like for example the final one. If you got the stamina to tank his first two swings you can stab him for about three hits.

The Silver Knight Spear is a good one to use as the R2 is a full sweep rather than another thrust like it is with most other spears. It can also be upgraded to max at just about halfway through the game with enough farming since Twinkling Titanite can be purchased from the Giant Blacksmith. Can't be buffed unfortunately but it does have an innate divine modifier.

It's a good faith weapon, that said the lightning spear I believe is better just because a lot of enemies are weak to lightning.

I use it as a low damage stat weapon. Both of the Silver Knight weapons actually. At minimum stats, they out-damage the other weapons in their class and can be farmed easily.
The sword I like a little more for a faith build because it can be buffed. I love me my Sunlight Blade.

This actually turns a few simple bosses into a bitch to fight. Gaping Dragon and Quelaag made me want to throw the spear class into a deep dark hole.

So................... I feel like a fickdace. I was just watching a guy do a speedrun of Part 1 on Twitch...and he managed to kill 3 bosses and get to where I am currently stuck at in under 25 minutes with a level nothing character...... I am currently sitting at 76 hours played with like a level 30+ character and due to frustration, I have no plan on returning. Besides, Part 2 is way more funner.

Knowledge is power, especially in Soulsborne games. Having hundreds or thousands of hours in the game helps too.
Take for example this Artorias fight. I know I'm shilling pretty hard for this dude, but he is legitimately one of the best Dark Souls players out there, so his videos are a good representation of my point. The amount of specific mechanical knowledge required for a kill like this is staggering, just look at how close he comes to getting hit a few times.
Some people, including myself, consider this kind of challenge to be the pinnacle of "challenge". You're a level one character on the highest difficulty, and you kill the boss without rolling through attacks or blocking with a shield. Other people consider trying to beat the game as fast as possible to be the hardest thing you can do, and that's fine too. There's also a completely different subset of people who think that beating the game without getting hit by any enemy is the hardest thing.
The reality is that anyone can do any of these things if they have the time to sit down and play the video game, enough determination to bang their heads against the wall for hours on end without getting discouraged, and most importantly, adapt their strategies on the fly. The challenge runners, speedrunners, no-hit runners didn't just magically get that good; they've spent dozens or even hundreds of hours perfecting their craft and it shows.
For example, a few pages ago I posted a video of TolomeoR beating Soul of Cinder on his token run (minimum level, maximum difficulty, no roll/block), but it's not like he sat down and knocked it out in half an hour. It took him close to 50 hours to find the best strategy and execute it perfectly, on top of the 20 hours he had already spent fighting that boss on regular New Game under the same restrictions. Happy Hobbit (no-hit runner) spent months playing DS3 before he was able to beat that game without getting hit. Distortion2 spends hours upon hours doing speedruns almost every day, and he's been doing that for years.
So in conclusion, while watching any one of these people play is very impressive, and can even be depressing as you noted, keep in mind that they've spent more time working on their niche run than most people spend playing these games period.
