Bemoaning the difficulty?
...but that's the point.
Okay, the boss now kills you in one hit and you need 30 perfect frame inputs to be able to dodge one combo.
Difficulty needs to take into account the playability of the game. There is difficulty, and there is plain bullshit. Sadly, the Souls series went on and on trying to "make it harder" in fear of people getting bored or something. In reality they ended up with a Malenia style bosses - who literally breaks established series-long rules.
Isn't this the reason to have difficulty levels?
Nah. You just balance the encounter instead of going for bullshit
