I played with demon bell and Isshin (who's touted as the hardest thing the series has to offer by some) took me 2 or so hours, whereas other "filters" like genichiro and guardian ape took me close to 20 mins each without the slightest cheese.
And it's not like I'm e-statting, I'll tell you outright that things like solo ex behemoth or at nerg from monster hunter took me entire days, I beat the former after grinding it 10 hours in a row and the latter after an entire week of trying, I (and everyone I've talked to irl) just never found from games exceptionally difficult, sure it's harder than Mario but like I said nothing should take more than a sitting, and it should definitely not be brought up as the quintessential difficult game like in OP.
I haven't played elden ring and probably never will but there's nothing really unfair in the games I played, especially compared to robberies like Garuga's frame 0 moves in mh that can one shot you, Nightmare or Arkham from dmc, rng party-wipes that you can do nothing about in smt, etc. And it's hard to make a game difficult without being unfair.
