Lets be honest. No one would miss grab attacks in souls games
true
Wait you can grab?
In dark souls if you could get infected by a parasite that caused your head to turn into an egg, and when you did the kick attack it changed to a worm coming out of your head, and biting the enemy.

If a mechanic filters even one person, it's worth it.
its not "filtering" anyone moron
you get hit by it once then never get hit by it again because theyre heavily telegraphed
how is it an "exercise in frustration" if it never hits you more than once. that makes it an opportunity for free hits on the enemy, which is rewarding.
not that guy but it looks wonky when it hits you and doesnt feel satisfying. Take dark souls 2 for example, the hitboxes are actually pretty good but every other boss has a grab attack and it looks like shit when it teleports you into its grab because a part of the attack hit your foot.
okay but, "you get hit by it once then never get hit by it again because theyre heavily telegraphed". so they're just free hits on the enemy.
Then why you sound so salty?
This. They are super telegraphed and usually punishable.
>Modern video game mechanics are now designed specifically around what will make video game streamers do the biggest reaction faces.
I hate this timeline.
Grabs were in Demons Souls before the concept of a twitch streamer existed moron.
Grab attacks in Souls basically add nothing to the complexity of the game
It's not like a fighting game or anything where you can tech or jump the grab
They're essentially just normal attacks that do more damage
The only thing that separates them from normal attacks is just that they have almost universally worse hitboxes
Grabs go through shields, so they're an extra frick you to anyone using shields.
they go through blocks, which means you have to roll or get out of the way
They add attack variety, are a tool to punish shield turtling and a vehicle to give particular enemies interesting mechanics (Lucaria claymen mana drain, Bloodborne brainsucker insight drain, DS1 egg carrier egg implantation)
Why would you want less mechanics rather than more? Let enemies have a dangerous attack from time to time man
The most annoying thing about boss grab attacks in Elden Ring is that it makes the boss 100% invulnerable so the other summoned players have to stand there helplessly and watch their teammate eat shit because he has mcdonalds wifi.
>so the other summoned players have to
so there's 3 of you fighting an AI and you're complaining about an unfair advantage the boss has. LMAO
>you're complaining about an unfair advantage the boss has
You're misunderstanding what I said.
I'm not saying it's an unfair advantage.
I'm saying it's boring as frick having to stand there and watch the boss finish it's big slow grab attack animation. Feels like my time is being wasted.
>Feels like my time is being wasted
do you also feel that way when you die and have to redo sections to get back to where you were?
>do you also feel that way when you die and have to redo sections to get back to where you were?
Elden Ring has a Stake of Marika in front of every boss fog, except for Rennala, and nobody has ever died to her in the history of the game.
yes, that is because of whiners like you. but the previous games don't have that. did you play those? if so answer the previous question.
I feel like you're trying to change the subject, or at least not seeing the point.
Boss runbacks don't annoy me because, while they do take time, the time is being spent playing the game.
Grab attacks waste time while also taking the control out of your hands. You can do nothing but sit there and watch.
Taking the control out of the player's hands and making them watch the game do a flex is usually a bad design choice.
getting hit by a grab attack and watching the animation while losing a chunk of your health is a punishment in games that are about challenging you. complaining about not having control for 5-10 seconds since you made a mistake is just whiner mentality and probably adhd.
You're wasting your time in the first place by needing 3v1 to beat a boss
Maybe moviegames might be more your speed
You should catch your breath and remind yourself not to panic roll so much, as you are grabbed again and again, wasting the precious seconds of your life. How many full minutes do you think you’ve lost to grab attacks over the years? 1 minute? 2?
That grab move horah loux does to you is pretty badass.
Grabs are funny and cool. Getting deepthroated by a giant worm man or piledriven off a cliff is good for the game.
