I don’t imagine I’ll hit a point where cheesing anything will give me what I’m after out of the game. I already feel a little guilty that the Taurus Demon jumped off the battlements for my first boss kill, and it happened quite by accident
My 10-year journey trying to “click” with Dark Souls and related -likes has involved a lot of engaging with essays and videos and essays-what-are-videos about them, so I know about a number of things like that. I’m largely approaching the game like I don’t know those things, though7I’m aiming as close to an “organic” experience as I can get
This most recent attempt has finally given me a hint of understanding for the (at times overly) effusive praise I’ve seen for FromSoftware’s post-Demons’s Souls work, which has me more inclined to keep pushing—for now, at least—but that “organic” experience is key to maintaining that inclination for me
