Playing a souls game in a language I can't even remotely understand has been a really surreal experience. It's like navigating a crowded metropolis where the streets feel familiar but you can't read any of the signs

AHungryRobot posted:Yep. I'll be playing Ratchet & Clank ps4 and waiting to hear back how DS3 compares to BB before I dip in. I am worried I won't like it for the same reasons I didn't like the first bits of Dark Souls 1. The Easy Allies (formerly GameTrailers' awesome dudes) review said the level design in DS3 is closer to DS2's and not as natural/interconnected as BB/DS1 and that's disappointing

I.N.R.I posted:the random ones arent random either. theres a list of room types and then the loot and enemies are random. but the layouts arent. i dont really mind cos its a boss every 5 minutes the layout of each floor is random though. the individual rooms are designed in a modular fashion, so any room type can connect to any other.

It isn't as interconnected but saying it's closer to 2 is ridiculous, it feels like a fuller, more realized version of 1s world

additionally, ive ran into floors that have been exactly like floors from the story chalices except with different enemies and loot int hem, such as the 4-1 floor that has the chest with 2 ritual blood (5)s in it next to the big room with tons of those old yarnham cloth head guys. so they arent random

I've played probably 50 hours of chalices and I haven't noticed this. Then again I don't know how many root chalices you've done. If there are dedicated floor layouts then there's gotta be more than a couple of them. I mean I know there are patterns to how the floors are designed (first room after the lamp is almost always connected to the drop-down room which acts as a shortcut, for example) but I don't think it's as discrete as you claim.

brainsuckers and winter lanterns are much easier if you use blue elixirs to sneak up on them

I think what fucks me up about the suckers is that they look weak but they have a surprisingly high amount of health and sneak up on you out of nowhere

One time a brainsucker killed me by stunning and sucking my brains the exact nanosecond I came out of my recovery animation from being sucked the first time. I was loving pissed.

I.N.R.I posted:a boss rush or something would be nice since thats what i really like about chalices. with some difficulty options like the cursed effect. but i suppose it wouldnt really fit in with the narrative so i dont expect it was thinking this while running the chalices yesterday. this game is built for boss rushes in the same way dmc 3 and 4's bloody palace modes were perfect (gonna keep up the dmc analogies because i see the games as vastly differently paced but with some similar combat appeal)
