Demon's Souls on NG+ was incredible though. Such a challenge

"almost all bosses have the same tactic here in DS 2. Just circle and block and hit."

yes its easy to describe the game as "just circle and block and hit" you can break almost any game down like that lol since thats the basics of the game. watch....

"almost all bosses have the same tactic here in Mass effect. Just take cover, pop out, shoot or ability".

very easy to break a game down to its basics but obviously its much more than that and in most cases, thats only gonna take you so far esp solo. sometimes you need to exploit weaknesses, use co-op, change to different armor/gear, use magic or arrows, parry, or sometimes jsut use brute force.

Then you must not be very good, bosses do pretty much the same moves over and over. I have the bosses by myself, heck the one on the ship you just need to keep close to the pole and he attacks, get on his side and attack.

Or just block/dodge and attacks, no skill needed or higher level.

You could apply that logic in any Souls game. It's not really true though, because there's more to it than that.

Circle and block against the Belfrey Gargoyles? Only going to get you so far.

Circle and block against Old Iron King? Not really an option.

Circle and block against The Royal Rat Vanguard? Good luck with that.

You can prove me wrong if you like.

Circle strafing and blocking and waiting your time for a strike in the meantime and rinse repeat is a successful tactic on those bosses.

I have done this EXACT tactic myself.

Exception would be the Smelter Demon, unless you have the 100% Fire reduction shield. In that one I dodged/rolled past his attacks, (also Iron King, rather then blocked, but those other bosses, that tactic works

The bosses are very disappointing. Except for a select few, they have a very basic attack pattern, especially the bosses on the way to Iron Keep.
