Ok so what’s the appeal of BB for $13 I feel like I should just buy it but I’ve never played a souls game and I don’t get the obsession besides “hard but satisfying.” Like are you just endlessly running around fighting bosses I have a switch and portable dark souls sounds cool, if it happens

There's more to it than just boss challenges. Attack the BB thread. It still gets a lot of posts and will give good advice if something is too esoteric.

The story and setting work really, really well. The combat is fun once you get the hang of it, but it seems punishing for the first stretch. It's worth $13. Avoid spoilers.

What I'm running up against is that there doesn't seem to be any block or parry mechanic, just "shoot the guy mid-swing then rip his guts out" which is predicated on having bullets.

Read item descriptions and contemplate the world as you go. It's like a detective game if you don't spoil it. It's fun reading theories about the story and world once you're done.

That's the parry. Shooting something in the head a split second before is bites you is my favourite parry mechanic ever.

You've got it, the game is now about figuring out the timing of enemy attacks. E as stated, also dodge like crazy.

BB would still be well worth the price at $30, <$15 is "you're an idiot if you don't buy this" levels of value.

it's just one of the best designed and most beautiful action games ever made. Whatever you want to say about the difficulty or mechanics, it is a lovingly crafted masterwork and one of the very best reasons to own this console.

I have a friend that spent 30 hours banging his head against father G and Cleric beast. I think he was just refusing to do anything but try to God of War his way through it the whole time. He told me he regrets quitting recently though.

Like actual IRL nightmares. And I’m in my forties. once you have insight (you gain it by seeing/killing a boss or using the madman's knowledge item), a second messenger bath will open up in the hunter's dream. from there you can buy the bell you use to summon people with insight. you need insight to use it tho Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 07:17 on Dec 27, 2017 |

Oh I told him how to summon. He was just to proud to do it until he was borderline losing his mind and I killed Father G and Cleric beast for him. He still quit at Vicar Amelia though. I just think there is this certain type of person that just cannot process the concept of timing things, waiting, learning etc. and it's always tempting to be like "just give it time and you'll get it" but some people just really can't. Most of the time it does pan out though. The majority of people that I've badgered into playing Souls games are as obsessed with them as I am now.

1redflag posted:Opinions ON Sundered? All the art is gorgeous, the animation is incredibly fluid, and it has some really nice atmospheric sound design. As a game it's pretty mediocre, though. Combat is pretty samey; even though you get a decent amount of upgrades the combat mostly comes down to spamming your melee moves, for the most part. Also there's like maybe 15 enemy types total in the game, it uses a lot of palette swaps. Also while it's gorgeous it has a huge problem with visibility. Finding where Eshe (your character) is in the middle of an enemy swarm can be like playing Where's Waldo.

Pillars of Eternity came out for the PS4 didn't it? Dunno how good it actually is I just know Obsidian made it. I'd be neat if Divinity OS2 came to PS4 like the first one did.

Horizon Zero Dawn wants to call itself an RPG but it's really more like an open-world Tomb Raider with quests. But it's probably closer to TW3 in both structure and gameplay than a CRPG like Divinity. Basically the term RPG is meaningless and always has been.

Thanks for the tips. How do Divinity OS and Pillars of Eternity compare? I didn't know about them but they seem to be of the same style. PIE is the complete edition, prices are comparable.

Divinity is purely turned based, PoE is 'real-time with pauses' and designed to look and work like old Infinity Engine game so Divinity wins out on that alone. It's kinda rough though and the sequel is much improved.

Really you should just play D:OS2 if you have a computer that can run it because it really is fantastic and there's no reason to play the original original sin.
