My enjoyment of stealth games now seems to stem from whether or not there is a mechanic in place to see through walls and observe guard patrol patterns. Without this, I feel I too often stumble into a guard I wasn't expecting and am immediately frustrated.
This is why I hate most modern stealth games.
Level up your situational awareness, son. I'm doing a "Mostly Flesh and Steel" run of Dishonored and I'm having no such problems. There's a good reason why most stealth games give you a way to peek around corners and under doors.
My expectations are high to the peak of being frustrating: I'll be disappointed even if it is a masterpiece. I am a fool for loving Dark Souls as much as I do.
@sgt_ham: That isn't true, all of their attacks can be avoided. It requires some fancy footwork on your part, but it can be done.
4K is basically a pure DPS race at it's core. In a regular new game they aren't too bad because they have small health pools. However, NG+ gives each of them a very healthy bump up in life and greatly increases they odds of multiple kings being alive at once. You have to avoid this. I suggest taking on a offensive defense. Roll into their attacks and then strike while they are open. If done correctly the animation will protect you from the damage. Don't try to stand around and tank them. You will waste too much time blocking and could end up fighting more than 4 kings.
Yea, what this guy said. You can find videos on youtube of people doing SL 1 NG+ or greater 4 kings runs with no hits taken. @sgt_ham you say you're using raw weapons? I'd recommend switching to something with better scaling or an elemental depending on your stats. Are you strength or dex focused?
