Until you get to the later half of the game and fight Chaos Marines and their little renegade trooper buddies. Which, coincidentally, was my complaint about the game. You get set up as a nearly immortal armored behemoth of a man that can't die as long as there are goblins to stomp and orks to slam your chainsword through, but as soon as these guys show up, you get focus fired to death if you charge them, so now you're playing a cover shooter. The kind of game it was marketed as an alternative to. The multiplayer was pretty fun, but the utter lack of voiced lines beyond power-grunts was pretty disappointing for a setting full of soldiers that scream for blood for their blood god, or chanting litanies of hate while gunning down rebels.

I would pay a great deal of money to play nearly any genre of game if it was about orks. The Ork Scrolls. Final Orktasy. GorkaMorkaLands. A Mek game where you blast apart competitors to take their bits and build a gargant. My PYF thing dragging this game down is that Orks are a criminally underused concept.

The orks in Warhammer 40k: Space Marine were really, really annoying. Instead of being the wacky, so-stupid-they're-genius psychopaths they are in the rest of the media, they're just generic monsters with repetitive lines and FAR TOO MANY ROCKET LAUNCHERS JESUS gently caress ENOUGH WITH THE loving ROCKET LAUNCHERS YOU ASSHOLES. It's a game that started with potential and quickly went down the tubes.

That reminds me of the time when I picked up a cheap copy of Daikatana and got horribly stuck near the end of the second act. The game was mostly linear levels up to that point, but then they took advantage of the Quake 2 engine technology to go back and forth between levels. You also had some puzzles like Hexen where doing something in one area would change something in a different area. Anyway, I got stuck and since Daikatana was a pretty reviled game there were no walkthroughs to help me out. Not even Gamespy's PlanetDaikatana was of any use, since their guide was extremely bare bones. This was also before YouTube, so no videos by that one dude who loves the game way too much to the point that you'd suspect him to be a serial killer in the making. There were cheats to skip levels, but that forced you to use more cheats to power up the sword because skipping levels would reset it and basically by that point you realize you are putting way too much effort in a game that is poo poo

I'm one of those people that has to run through every side quest in open world games and Witcher III is really killing me for it. There's so much to do and I'm only in the first area (after the tutorial) and have no way of telling if something is my level or not.

Unless you disabled parts of the UI, it should be fairly obvious. Enemies will have a red skull if they're out of your range. Though I found I could still manage if I was careful and/or it was mostly one on one fights.

If you are talking about quests in your quest log, those have recommended levels displayed. If you're talking about the points of interest marked on the map, then yes, you don't know what level they are until you go there, but you can tell which ones you've done and which ones you've skipped. If you complete a point of interest, it becomes grayed out on the map.

I was asked to upload some Lords of the Fallen screenshots to explain why I'm frustrated and if I'm just a scrub that needs to git gud. You can see my gear and level at the first one. I'm getting a bonus to my attack since my Agility is 14 and only required 8 for the item to work. These pics are taken after several attempts at busting these guys down. The only reason they are lower HP than the 3 and 2 indicated is because I used my gauntlet to attack them with a projectile. These guys are staggered or after-animation, so I'm not getting the "thunk" armored hit on these. These are connecting for literally 1 damage, and thats a 3 hit combo.     I really want to like this game, the combat is a lot of fun! But hitting 10 times for 10 damage, and being riposte for 80 and near instant death is not fun. Its just stupid difficult.

Jastiger posted:I was asked to upload some Lords of the Fallen screenshots to explain why I'm frustrated and if I'm just a scrub that needs to git gud. Yeah those are knights. You have to hit them from behind to do damage. They kinda have giant shields? See? You need to get behind them and not hit the shield. Or do a charge attack to knock them off balance and beat the poo poo out of them. Sorry but you're just bad.  If you're doing that little damage you're doing something wrong. In this case you need to learn his attacks and get behind him to do damage. Knights are not basic enemies, they're a little tougher. They're like the grown up version of the shieldmasters you run into earlier in the level.

In Dark Souls style you can go multiple directions and if you run into massively harder enemies, maybe try going a different direction? Its like you went into New Londo Ruins first, if those knights are kicking your rear end try going the other direction. But you can totally kill those knights, they're just hard early on. Not really all that different from the first boss in many ways. Or from the other shield enemies, just much tougher. How did you beat the first boss? And obviously you do like 3 damage if you hit them in the giant shield. Like, duh. And you can't just circle strafe around them hoping they'll get lazy and forget about you. You have to bait attacks and avoid them and counter-attack. You're really early in the game still. https://youtu.be/ex_57pSV8vg?t=5m11s See how he does like 5 damage when he hits the shield, and like 58 damage otherwise?

Its not stupid difficult, its just wrong. You're trying to force a square peg through a round hole. Consider that maybe there's alternatives. Like going somewhere else. Or fighting a different way. I mean, those guys are a bit tough to fight, it is a little hard yeah, but you're definitely NOT supposed to just whittle them down by doing 1 damage at a time. Instead really pick your swings and learn his animations and he'll go down in like 4 hits. But that said if you've only beaten one or two bosses, just try going a different direction dude. Explore more. You can come back to that area later. I assume you haven't beaten more bosses because you should be higher level and have better weapons if you did.

Those are some of the hardest enemies in the game so don't be discouraged that they're kind of ridiculous. Looking at where you are, I'm pretty sure that bit is optional and you're intended to do it much later. There's another way to go very near that checkpoint which is where you actually need to go, unless I'm misremembering, so look around for that. I found the easiest way to kill those enemies was to equip a small shield and parry/riposte them. If you've played dark souls, it pretty much works the same way as in that game. When they swing at you, hit them with your shield parry just before their attack would hit you. That knocks their attack away and stuns them so you can do a riposte. I believe only small shields can do this since the other shields do a bash instead of a parry. But you don't actually ever have to fight them until a ways later.

Yeah, now we know what enemies you're facing it's definitely the "strongest regular enemies in the game" problem you're having. Even at higher levels those guys can take a lot of damage and hit for a bunch in return - ignore them for now and go down towards the snowy grave. Progression isn't marked particularly clearly.

Thanks for the advice guys. And id do Combos behind and it still did like. ..5 damage per hit. I've bean both dark souls and am familiar with the play which is why I was so frustrated. I'd dodge roll and combo and it'd Jusy be a plink plink. I was following a walk through and I didn't see another direction to go. The mission said get Las low or whatever so I am kind of lost there, haha. I'll try another way, but it involves a ton of backtracking. I beat two bosses and they took forever to kill too. The warden? Took like 30 minutes.
