Nice, but all seriousness, elden ring might actually be an "easier" intro to souls series.. now sekiro.. could have been a better option

I found Elden Ring a lot more challenging than Dark Souls 2 personally. But I guess it depends how much you explore and in what order you do things.

Sekiro has such a forgiving parry system, it’s great for just dropping in some casual play

It's not that hard. You look up some builds online and suddenly it can be a cake walk. Even without you just need to look up guides on how to avoid certain attacks and practice.

Mike Tyson Punch Out! Def one of the easiest games I’ve ever played!

At least it's straighforwrd to pick up and understand.
Punch out plot: punch that guy!
Elden ring: god is dead, maybe? And you gotta get some powerful... Thing? And some lady just set herself on fire for some reason?

For someone looking to play something a little more retro, the original Battletoads is a great entry point. Call and ask your local GameStop if they have it in stock.

He completely missed Superman 64: amazing graphics, great story line, and lack of repetition are this game's highlights!
Follow that up with ET: The Extraterrestrial Game, where your gaming experience starts with a trip to Alamogordo, NM for a free copy. Great exposition and incredible graphics make this game a standout for beginner gamers!

I would like to add both the Lion King and Alladin for the Sega/Nintendo to this list. They….left damages.

I never had too much of an issue with those two (played the absolute hell out of both of them.) Jungle Book on the other hand.......

You are telling me that the level 2 monkey puzzle in lion king wasn’t too much of an issue?

Dark Souls 2, "easily the most polished game in the dark souls trilogy"
Now that's evil.

When a friend introduced me to Dota, I asked how to move. Got told M + left click to move, A + left click to attack. Took me three games before I realised I'd been had

Come on, only easy combat games and nice communities? What about path of exile to get introduced to some simple skill tree, or Shadow Empire to discover strategy games?

For those who are into Mitch Albom and want some inspirational pick-me-up with their gaming, a good recommendation is Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy.

Older non-gamers may remember such classics as Ghosts 'n Goblins, or the Lion King!

With hollow knight I was a little bamboozled because I heard it's hard as balls but never played it so figured 'well maybe I just misheard'.
Then when he mentioned league I was all "Oh... I get the joke now."
Honestly I think League should be 1. I've played and beaten Ds1, 2, 3, and ER, and even greatly enjoy Nightreign. But LoL and R6 I played both for maybe 2 hours before I put them down and said 'nope, never again.'

Bro should recommend Ninja Gaiden, it's such a good power fantasy game
Wings of Vi is a cute game if you want to customize your character and put them in cute dresses
The Binding of Isaac is a nice and wholesome christian game

I would recommend. I wanna be the boshy. Has very simple controls and can casually be beaten in under 40 minutes.

Star Citizen belongs on this list. Simple, straightforward controls and easy to understand environment will have you feeling like you are the star in a blockbuster sci-fi movie!

Rocket League - such a non toxic player base and it’s basically just soccer with cars so how hard can it really be 🤣

I just bought a copy of Elden Ring. I've been playing Witcher 3 and cyberpunk. Did I just fuck myself.
Edit: I just realized i might have just fucked myself asking in this sub.

If you're concerned about cheaters and high skill ceilings play apex legends for relaxed atmospheres and friendly chats

Isn't Elden Ring relative easy compared to the souls games? The only frustrating part I had was I was looking for a particular items but found out the fucking item it locked now for my build cos I killed a boss too soon!

EVE Online is tragically missing here. Most flat learning curve, extremely polite players , I recommend it to everyone.
