Can anyone explain why I loved sekiro, thoroughly enjoyed bloodborne but can't get into dark souls 3 ?

Qmass posted:Can anyone explain why I loved sekiro, thoroughly enjoyed bloodborne but can't get into dark souls 3 ? Same. The only thing I came up with is Bloodborne and Sekiro don't have the same kind of baggage as 3. Also going from BB combat back to DS1 style 1-2-1-2 combos without transform attacks and quickstep felt bad.

I hated sekiro because I hate parrying in games and that’s what that game is and nothing else

I hated myself because I hate and am bad at parrying in games and could never get very far in Sekiro even though Souls is very lovely

I just killed high lord wolnir with lothric sword and crest shield - are there any suitable shield upgrades around this point ? (or on the horizon)

It doesn't really work like that. You won't find a shield that's just "better" than the crest shield. You can find several ones with different strengths though.

IronicDongz posted:It's not really parrying through. Parrying in souls games has a tight window and leaves you vulnerable for a long time if you whiff it, but has a huge reward. It's not really. Dodging is an active, at will thing, parrying is a passive, waiting for an enemy to attack you thing.

What's the difference? Both are buttons you press in response to an enemy's incoming attack in order to gain advantage, and your timing needs to be good but not that good.

Standing completely still, waiting for the enemy to attack so I can perfectly reference 'parryframes.mov' on youtube that I looked up before the game came out: Seems kind of static, a bit boring.

If anything, Sekiro's got the more active system, because if you start an attack it lets you cancel it into deflect. And there's no stamina. You can keep the pressure on constantly, and that's what works the best. Defense and offense move move fluidly into each other. It's a really aggressive game. And both attacking and deflecting lets you drain your enemy's posture, and once it's full you can kill them. So essentially deflecting is also doing damage, in a sense. It's far further from passive than ds3's typical "wait until an attack, roll, punish" situation.

onion knight nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! oh well, he made yhorm the giant super easy and now I can be the onion bro. So when he rests after the yhorm fight he is meant to push off and leave behind his gear, ending his quest line? edit: so did I get super lucky on yhorm when I happened to be using profane greatsword and just always attacked when he was brought down? It sounds like I fluked a way to kill him ? I was looking up storm ruler and a lot of talk about it being almost a necessity on the fight?

Profane Greatsword isn't any better than most weapons for that fight. I think onion knight must have carried your sorry rear end, because without someone (you or Onion boi) wielding that special sword, you're in for a 10+ minute slog against a slow giant. Yes it's beatable and it's come up on certain challenge runs, but you're 100% supposed to use the storm ruler, or just let siegward contend with his friend while you kind of roll around and watch it happen. Good fight though, pretty weird and and strange end to a quest line

(or on the horizon) You really don't need to worry about upgrading your shield the way you would a weapon. Anything with "Crest" is good to carry around, Grass Crest for extra stamina regeneration, Magic Crest for magic absorption, etc.

Qmass posted:any thoughts on when a first play-through should do archdragon peak and the DLCs ? If you can access peak you're good to go, you can go into the snow dlc whenever as it's a relatively easy source of large titanite shards but you're not likely to do poo poo to the main boss of it until you're at endgame level

Qmass posted:any thoughts on when a first play-through should do archdragon peak and the DLCs ? Save the DLCs until you've gathered all the lords cinders imo. Though running around in the first one for items is totally worth doing ASAP. Archdragon you can do as soon as you unlock it though its end boss is one of the hardest in the game so you can always come back to it later if you get frustrated.

Qmass posted:any thoughts on when a first play-through should do archdragon peak and the DLCs ? Go to archdragon for the ash that lets you buy chunks and also steal the slab off havel, come back with +10 weapon, then go dlc 1. Also run the final archdragon gauntlet for souls, once the gauntlet stops giving you a decent amount of souls vs number of souls required to level up, fight the boss/ start dlc 2. Use lightning for the dragon phase one and poison + bleed for phase 2. You can use the same set up for nameless king as you can for dlc 2 bosses

the camera in king of the storm is fine so long as you don't move forward past the head, which you don't want to do anyways

The king of the storm is (as he's a dragon) but the nameless king is resistant to lightning. Which should be obvious as he's Gwyn's son and is constantly blasting lightning everywhere.

Right, I thought they were talking about Gael, or rather, the poster mentioned the DLCs plus the Nameless King, and I thought the reply was referring to poisoning Gael, cause he is actually weak to poison. edit: Oh, they did say you can use the same set up for the DLC bosses, which I should've clarified, that in the aforementioned spoiler, I used those lightning imbued weapons, and especially wrecked him with my miracle build, Lothric Knight GS, with like a lightning or blessed infusion, and same with King of the Storm, then I'd switch to I think the Profaned GS, because the King is resistant to lightning, but weak to fire, and vice versa. imhotep fucked around with this message at 14:42 on Jan 3, 2020 |
