SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:Firelink shrine absolutely funnels people to the graveyard and I haven't really forgiven the game for that. The map design and obtuse for the time controls are 100% what gave the game a reputation as difficult If you went to the graveyard more than twice and kept doing it even though you were getting owned and getting no reward for it and making no progress, the problem is with you

American McGay posted:Reminder that the same people saying that Scalebound is coming are the same people who claimed that a Metroid Prime Trilogy port is coming at least 4 separate times and that Animal Crossing is getting released on a Tuesday in April. I feel like they’re going to wait until Prime 4 starts to reform itself more before releasing that to keep momentum for it.

MMF Freeway posted:I mean walking up the stairs and into a building feels like a "correct" path rather than the little ledge path. I guess the point is, why would you assume there is a "correct" path. This is only a valid complaint if you accidentally get stuck in the Tomb, but even in that case the absolute darkness should be a hint that you should try this later.

So the audio on my Nintendo Switch has started crackling, but only in docked mode. It's not the speakers because they're also linked to my computer and there's no crackling when using that. Anyone had this happen? Is my Switch finally dying? Edit: It crackles in different games, the menu, etc.

Doesn't the npc tell you where to go, too? I don't think firelink really funnels you to the graveyard either, it's more than it's easy to find and if you're not paying attention...

Crestfallen tells you to ring the bells, one above and one below. Sure, you could make the mistake of thinking the graveyard is how you get to the one below. Fair enough. But if you keep beating your head against that one, why not try the bell above? But also, lol thinking people will listen to NPCs on their first playthrough. First timers are more likely to murder Crestfallen or ignore him entirely.

THE loving MOON posted:Having R1 and R2 for attacking felt weird to me at first, but it's really the only sensible way to set it up for playing with a controller. The game just needs a whole lotta buttons Yeah it's a fine control scheme just there's a lot of adjusting when first exposed to it. I remember how bad it felt for me and a lot of my friends early on

I'm not talking about banging your head against it repeatedly. The first immediately recognizable feature in the shrine is a portal to a sucker punch.

You collosal moron. I mean you start in a hub area with like three areas to go and the graveyard has enemies that resurrect. It could not be more obvious you are not supposed to be there yet. Hell the graveyard is the last place I visited, didn’t know it was there on my first play through.

Real hurthling! posted:Is source engine established on switch? Any other games on the platform use it? Valves official branch of Source doesn't support the Switch, but Respawns Titanfall/Apex branch is so heavily modified at this point that they'd probably have to port it from scratch regardless.

Look Sir Droids posted:
The game map overall is great but lol don't even try to pretend Firelink doesn't herd 95% of everybody who plays it straight to the skeletons. "Gee golly I have no idea why people first went straight towards and then past the most interesting architectural structure in the area, taking the only obvious paved pathway, and not the complete opposite direction down a narrow path hidden behind a tree that also happens to be roughly the same color as the steep cliff it's wrapped against that looks like it's leading into nothing." The controls are excellent though, you're right about that.

Trip report on replaying Twilight Princess: it does indeed get good after the intro, the first dungeon alone is pretty lengthy and enjoyable. The second is cool in concept but kind of a boring slog though. On to Lakebed! It's pretty depressing to keep finding all these Miiverse stamps though

GreatGreen posted:The game map overall is great but lol don't even try to pretend Firelink doesn't herd 95% of everybody who plays it straight to the skeletons. lol 95%. No. This is at best a 50:50 proposition. Also you would have to just ignore that the first item you see to pick up in Firelink is at the well, which is on the way to the uphill path. So no, the game in no way herds you to the graveyard over other available paths.

I think the key to enjoying Dark Souls, like most things in life that aren't handed to you on a silver platter, is expectation management. If you understand going into it that the game will be an iterative process of progressing a bit, dying, progressing a bit farther, dying, progressing a bit farther than last time, etc. then you'll do fine. If you go into it thinking you're supposed to be able to zip through like you can with most games, you're going to get frustrated. As soon as you accept that dying is just part of the expected process (and progress) then you'll be a lot happier playing the game.

I doubt anybody but me cares, but it looks like Blazblue Crosstag actually is getting another set of DLC characters this Spring. Hopefully the lobbies will perk back up for a little while when that happens
