Summoning spirits is the same as fucking with condom, it doesn't count

I accept your concession user thanks

>i need this mechanic to beat the boss, otherwise my pure skill and reflexes won't do it by themselves

easy mode

>oh all of these mechanics are fine but you cant use that one, why? because I said so thats why

>Looks like
It's the same core gameplay loop (punishing difficulty, bonfires, losing your coins/exp upon death and having one chance to get them back).

>it doesnt count because I say so
reddit opinion

I got the poison dog spirit and distracted the boss while it attacked and poisoned them and then I ran to the other side of the battlefield and spammed magic spells. I pity the autistic kids who are struggling with most bosses with their shitty melee builds.

if done within the game's mechanics it counts
what doesn't count is looking for dummy achievements in videogames for your lack of success IRL

It can't be easy mode though. I mean if it was why are so many crying for actual Easy mode?

I guess that it's considered easy mode cuz of the previous games, where it really trivialized boss battles by spliting bosses attention.
From all the mechanics this one makes the biggest difficulty difference I'd say, so maybe that is why people say it's dark souls easy mode.

But to me it still seems like tryhards trying to gatekeep more casual people.
Dunno what is wrong with new people wanting to play the game. If they need summoning to beat the game, let them use it. Let them enjoy the game.

Prey 2017 was already a good modern video game
