The only time I can think of is maybe the bit where Isshin does his dodge step, which can be annoying but teaches you not to overcommit to an attack because if you react to it you can still deflect his counter? And I guess Owl Father will ruin your day if you try to thrust attack him but learning your lesson of not trying a certain attack against a boss doesn't seem like a game ruining crime. I'm not sure what it could be so I was genuinely curious to know what Shadow225 thought he noticed until he decided to get all Saw 'want to play a game' about it and now I just don't give a poo poo anymore.

I don't think that's what is happening here. Granted I'm no finance expert, but I'd imagine labor is being cut or antagonized and particularized in order to shore-up short term projections so CEO types can take huge bonuses while the company tanks. There's plenty of money if someone involved actually wanted to run a business with the massive existing infrastructure and name recognition. Unfortunately what will happen instead is they will use one last console cycle to make record profits and take huge paychecks, then immediately say the business can't function anymore under existing market trends wrt growth, declare bankruptcy, fire everyone, etc.

The protagonists of Arkane games are always wildly OP, leashed only by optional plot or player limitations. Take the chains off and a level turns into a graveyard very quickly.

There's also Owl's 180 swing if you attack him too early while his back is exposed but all these enemy reactions have an appropriate counter reaction. I can pretty confidently say none of the Sekiro's flaws are in the 1v1 duels, especially not in boss fights because the controls are so responsive and all enemy attacks are telegraphed if you know what you are looking for.

Doctor Zero posted:The mass effect ending was built up to be a huge payoff all your choices matter and above all “IT WONT BE PICK A,B, OR C WE SWEAR” This makes some sense to me. I finally finished me3 yesterday for the first time, and the ending was built up to be a giant pile of poo poo, and I thought it was fine. Maybe if I'd paid a lot of attention to press releases during development or something, I would have been disappointed. As it is, it turned out to be a normal video game from 2013 or whenever, and not something groundbreaking. I liked it.

I don't know. This seems like a lot of words just to say you don't like a video game. It's ok to not like Sekiro, homey. I honestly can't get into Dark Souls 3 that much. I don't know if I'm burned out or not but I keep jumping back in just to quit.

blackguy32 posted:I don't know. This seems like a lot of words just to say you don't like a video game. It's ok to not like Sekiro, homey. how far are you into the game? I think they made a really dumb decision putting Farron Keep right after Crucifixion Woods, it's almost like Miyazaki was like let's put the swamp level like the third area in the game so people will roll their eyes and be like 'lol swamp levels and dark souls', but then when they finally beat it they go to the *real* blight town swamp level where everything is poison and just a huge, impossible to memorize area that you need to find three whatevers to open a gate to the boss'. At least you can go to the Cathedral of the Deep right after that instead of Farron Keep if you want, and now that I think about it it's technically one of the best levels in the game, just really classic, top notch, intertwining Dark Souls level design.. But it also has a loving swamp inside the cathedral where two giants are, and it's probably why it's not immediately one of the levels that comes to mind when I think of DS3. But imo the game only gets better from the area after the catacombs onward, including the DLCs, I think all of the best stuff, aside from like the High Wall of Lothric, is in the back end of the game.

Everytime I think of replaying dks3 I recall you have to go through the village, fight a dumb tree, go through a swamp, fight a dumb wizard, go through a cathedral, fight a dumb congregation, go through another swamp, fight A Cool Boss, then its not one but two catacombs, a dumb skeleton and the Demon Boss Which I'm Bad At. Then the game gets good. So I never do. Granted, the cathedral and Lothric highwall are excellent.

Yeah I was fine with Crucifixion Woods because unless I wanted the few shinies or to kick off with a giant crab I could just avoid the water. I then descend the ladder to Farron and immediately roll my eyes. Guess I need to go buy lots of poison resist stuff then! Like you say, the layout of that place was awful too, I ended up using a map from that Dark Souls site just to get through it... There's challenging and there's just bullshit. Farron was bullshit.

Yikes. I mean, I genuinely do not see the issue here that Shadow is seeing. BP likes some games and dislikes others. Everyone here likes some games and dislike eithers. There is no consensus on everything here and I think that is important (Except Knack being Game of the Millenium, this is undisputable) that we are varied people who have these interesting and different thoughts. This thread is more like a big round diner table with everyone interjecting ideas and thoughts and opnions. Some go down well, some do not, but I have definitely probated people I feel are being horrible. If you look at the thread when I first started posting here compared to now, things are so much better than they were. I do not think people defending their favourite games is bad and I often moderate with the overall position of "It is not what you are saying but how you are saying it". I know I am a moderator, but I do not do mod sass probes. If someone calls me an idiot kai leng stan for liking Mass Effect 3 over the other two then they can. At least if it was funny and informative in some fashion then friendly ribbing is great and I like it. I will never not post my true feelings on games because I do not need to fit in. I like what I like and I dislike what I dislike. I prefer to talk about what I like as I enjoy giving positivity but I will not silence myself for fear of not being part of the in culture. If you do not like Sekiro or Bloodborne or Dark Souls or Nier:automata or any lauded game then post. People will pushback or ask for more information or argue but that is because this is a discussion thread, not an agreement thread. I respect more the people who post honestly. Knowing a game is adored here and saying "hey I did not like it for these reasons" gets a ton of respect and admiration from me because you are being honest in a forum where the reputation is such. However, if you do that and get insulted/trolled, then I will step in. I have not seen that lately and there has been no reports. If my judgement is lacking here and I have missed something then I am sorry. I apologise and will do better.

Exactly, it's literally the opposite of Dark Souls 1, which gets boring after Anor Londo, and this game gets good *at* Anor Londo. So if you haven't been to the area right after the Catacombs of Carthus, 'blackguy32', but you're somewhere close, like I guess towards the end of Farron Keep, I would push on a bit further because the game literally makes you go through like 10 hours of super dreary areas (probably at the very very least, for someone playing it for the first time? Idk, it still takes me about that long and I've put like a thousand hours into the game), but then at the end of the Catacombs, you open a set of doors that you're probably assuming is going to lead to the fourth swampy/catacomby/cathedral filled with swamp stuff that's apparently leaking through the ceiling because you see it dripping down the walls combined with enemies who are basically skeleton enemies from the catacombs wearing priest robes, but instead it basically plays 'Hallelujah' and you see one of the more breathtaking vistas in the series. Then you walk 20 steps and immediately get chased by Literally the Berserk armor, then if you're like me, you'll get stuck at the first bonfire for like an hour until you figure out how to avoid the relentless combos of the basic enemy type of that area.

It should be noted that Yakuza 7 doesn't have difficulty levels. It's balanced just about right for me as far as a turn-based RPG goes, but maybe others will feel it's too hard or too easy and there isn't much they can do about it.

Maybe a little earlier, but this is actually a fair point. DS3 is a pretty big game and if you add in the DLC there are some stunning areas. It's a great send-off for the series and I really loved the Bloodborne nods in Ashes of Ariandel.

I'm willing to bet the example of Sekiro reading your inputs would've been a pretty well-known one, gonichumi can cancel out of swings or dodges into a deflect right when you go to attack him, much faster than it'd make sense for him to be able to do. Or something about how enemies abort what they're doing and rush you 'very coincidentally' right when you start healing. But in the case of the former I think it's fair if the game is reading that input because you can do the same thing to him, canceling into deflects is part of your basic kit. In the latter case I think they're set to react to the animation or the healing state more than you pressing the use item button. You can use stuff like Divine Confetti etc and they won't rush you like that.
