I spend more and more time watching japanese lets players on nico nico and machine translating their comments about western games. It's terrible but interesting

It seems like older FPS games such as Bioshock and Modern Warfare got a lot more views before they had official translations. On several occasions I've seen Japanese players stand in one spot at the start of an FPS for five minutes, before realizing that they can walk around. Then it takes them another five minutes of strafing and realize the other stick is used to look around.

I googled to see if it runs good on emulator or if it was like Nocturne where it doesn't really work and I found a bunch of forum threads of people comparing resolutions and complaining about how it runs bad when you try to play it at 4000x2000 with HD texture mods and it made me nauseous

it runs good. only problem is there were only shadows in software mode when i played which makes the game run like rear end, but you also need shadows for one point later in the game

I died in the very first dungeon of DQVIII. Am I doing something wrong or am I supposed to be getting murked by the bats and slimes.

it's a bit tough when starting, you have no spells or MP to speak of. just grind a little bit, stock up on medical herbs.

I died there as we'll and then didn't die again until like 40 hours into the game. It's a bit tricky at the start because they're throwing you into the deep end

You don't need them. There's a summon right before the fog gate. Also that boss is one of those where you can be overleveled when you first encounter them.

I played DS2 before DS1 so I'm extra bad at I. I have never fought anything beyond the asylum demon.

you don't need any of that poo poo anyway. the whole bossfight is just "can you roll at the right time" and if you can then you win.

Never tried ds2. It should be easier to play since there's no adaptability stat and the healing system is a lot more simplified.

Yeah but it's the butterfly especially. he doesnt try to pull any crazy tricks or have ways to exploit his AI or have a particular spot to stand or strategy to use. Like yeah you can cheese it with sorcery or the witch or w/e else, but the fight on its own mechanics is almost nothing but entirely straightforward Attack Tell->Dodge. You dont even need to care about positioning because you're stuck on a little bridge and he's flying to the side shooting
