One thing I don't like about the gimmick fights is the realization. You hit the boss for the first time and do 11 damage and the go "oh it's one of these, time to figure out the solution". e: hitting Yhorm for the first time and realizing it's puzzle fight was such a bummer kikkelivelho fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Apr 19, 2016 |

I felt the gimmick was good. Cool Demon's Souls callback and it really conveyed just how tough Yhorm is that you can't do poo poo otherwise; appropriate considering he loving killed the flame of chaos, which the player characters in the past two games couldn't manage.

I fought Yhorm without the gimmick (not on purpose, I'm just dumb) and it was a fun fight even though it took like 20 minutes. I think it would've been nice if they'd given him maybe just a little more health than a normal boss so you could do it either way (Or maybe make it so the gimmick only takes off his health to the halfway point or something where he goes into phase 2)

More than anything it was that momentum killing inventory fumbling, which I guess is a truly proper callback. It would have been better if it automatically equipped. At the very least the thumbnail in your inventory could have been less inconspicuous. He was still cool looking and the references were neat, as fan servicey as they were.

Good thing I fought Yhorm straight-up first time as a sorcerer and didn't do anything gimmicky like stand really far away shooting projectiles at him. I got the authentic experience and not some silly puzzle fight. e: beaten by two minutes

Dear From I mean this is the nicest possible way, but you are utterly, utterly incapable of making grab attacks that work right. After 5 games of being teleported from behind/to-the-side/across the goddamn room into the enemies grab, I'm over it. Please just stop.

You know what's great? the Patches squat. I wear the big iron exile mask with that chain hanging off the collar and as many things with spikes or chains as I can, and whenever I get summoned I just squat and don't move until the host is done gesticulating and spinning around in circles - which, of course, goes on for a good 45 seconds. Just finished a fight and host is picking up drops? Squat. Host is running back and forth for no reason or going down dead-end corridors? Squat. Waiting for another summon to beam in? Squat, and then don't move while the two of them communicate in whatever crude way they do. And this always frustrates one of them - the host or the summon - who can't understand why I'm just squatting there looking like a pit fighter in an iron mask. How can he not be rolling around and smashing pots in celebration? They can't stand it. They start with the rolling into me and poking me with their swords and running in circles around me...nope. I'm not gonna do that. Just squat like a badass. I highly recommend this just so you can see how much it flusters the host. Social experiment. Of course, the better hosts will just sit there with me - which is just as cool. They probably wouldn't even look at explosions. Oh, and to whomever posted on the Fextralife Wiki about Yhorm being "trivial" when Siegmeyer is with you - bullshit. He got two-shotted before I could even run over to the throne to get the (spoiler) whatzit. That was not as easy as advertised.

I've actually felt that the grabs in this game are a thousand times more fair than, say, Winter Lanterns in Bloodborne, which had a grab hitbox that was utterly terrible.

Not arguing that they're not the best so far, but that wasn't a high bar to beat. I may still be upset over the fiasco that was DS2's "hitboxes."

I don't even mind the amount of rolling so much as the whole immunity to damage simply because "rear end is over elbows" really grinds my gears. It makes no sense and I constantly have to remind myself that this is video game logic.

By the way, if any of you are thinking of grinding Proofs of a Concord Kept by grinding certain enemies... don't. Just don't. The rates are incredibly, insanely low. I have a flawless method to raise my Item Discovery to a very high four digits, and even then I don't seem to get many.

Genocyber posted:Bits from these three item descriptions. Curious, that suggests that Yhorm actually...what, linked the first flame to put out the Flame of Chaos? Or he burned himself within the chaos flame to extinguish it? That's a vague sequence of events; Yhorm being responsible for the Flame of Chaos going out is a pretty big event, DLC worthy I'd say.
