The Helicopter? 5 Tries sound about right.
Things started to click and I was feeling fine going further into chapter 1. Even got an S and A rank replaying missions… uuuuutil I got stuck on Balteus for about 4 hours.
The jankiness of this boss is bull. It was in front of me, i was behind a wall and it was shooting me from behind. Then i was on top of it hitting it with melee and it flew out of the arena knocking me off. It has also taken me from 75% to dead more then once. From Software swore this was not going to be Dark Souls in armor. I say LIARS!
I recall previous chapters being difficult, but not unfun levels of difficult. The intro goes from 0-11 without warning, I took almost no damage the entire first part of the mission, then a boss that does 75% hits. At least give us difficulty settings. I am in my 40s and have limited play time. I spent my entire morning trying to beat the first boss. I know get good, whatever. I really did not enjoy playing.
This is the first game I am actively seeking a refund
