I would unironically look up where the first tears are and make sure you get the summoning bell. And go off the suggested path (piss rainbow from bonfire) pretty early to just go around the first area

Do not get the summoning bell.

The last "third" is not what I would call rushed, it's untested - but that's the same thing I guess. The real flaw is that the fundamental design decisions are just setting a new low for the games, and if this is how the series is going forward it's not going to be very good.

It's fun. And I don't get how you'd clear the courtyard in godricks castle without it
What are they? I couldn't watch or hear enough analysis to get what makes it so fundamentally flawed
Like that you'll never experience it the same the first time again thing that guy mentioned is a universal concept, you can apply it to literally anything besides a game where you select a new character and are presented something entirely new
Mostly how fights are designed and how you're punished for playing certain ways. The game shouldn't make you feel like you're playing it wrong.
For trash yeah it's probably fun, but for bosses it's just so sad having the boss hit jellyfish for 5 minutes while you get 0 interaction or gameplay.
If that's how you can enjoy the game (as an accessibility setting) I don't mind, but if it was the intended experience for the summons to be used on bosses then they shouldn't have given the bosses any movesets, because the player doesn't have to deal with them lol.
Nah that's a slippery slope argument. Summons are training wheels, assumably used by baddies. So if a bad player isn't abusing the hell out of them they'll take plenty of aggro and not use them as well as they can be used (none of this including mimic which is obviously broken lol)
It's an accessibility thing for me. I want to focus on enjoying the experience and curb the amount of negative ones that may come up. I use them more often for really annoying areas. If I mar my boss battle experience somehow it's through summoning people but even then it's not as OP as it used to be (but ive never summoned a mage so I'm sure that's why)
