Wow, this is almost word for word the thread I was planning on making. Glad I’m not the only one! I just beat Bloodborne, and while it was certainly difficult, it wasn’t as hard as I was expecting. I’ve beaten numerous Housemarque games, Cuphead, Super Meat Boy, Celeste, TLoU on Grounded mode, etc., and I can’t recall ever feeling this hopeless and defeated in a game. Just when I’ve worked up to a great build and when I feel like I’m getting good, it seems like the difficulty suddenly goes through the roof in a particular room, and I get killed and have to start all over.

I really don’t know if I’ll have the resolve to finish this game, and I’m super disappointed to feel that way. I’ve loved Housemarque for years, and there is so much good in this game, but it’s just too damn punishing.
