Apparently this is From's response to everyone(including me) calling Elden Ring the easiest of Souls. Which it is, definitely. But holy sh*t they took that like a b1tch cause this is hard 😅
A lot of your complaints of difficulty near the start of this video kinda evaporate once you address the fact that based on most recommendations your level should be 50% higher. Which I understand begs other criticisms. But yeah, I don't think it was an intended design choice for ordinary mobs to 2shot you from behind a corner.
This sort of game tends to make people impose rules on themselves on top of the difficulty and jankiness then they speculate on why they arent having fun 😂
