I can't stand the horror steampunk aesthetic of bloodborne so don't like the game at all. I never will like the game as a result. I don't like the gameplay of the souls games. I didn't like the demon souls remake. I just don't like soulsborne games and I never will. I did like Sekiro, though, so it's not fromsoft that I don't like.

not sure what's "steampunk" about bloodborne its just victorian fantasy horror. i mean the setting is vaguely inspired by 19th century london but i dont remember any part of the game with gears or steam-powered contraptions or airships or any of that stuff. and the lore has more of a lovecraft vibe than anything else Earwicker fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Feb 25, 2021 |

Yeah steampunk ruined a whole lotta things that aren't steampunk at all just by adjacency. Bloodborne rules

it's kinda frustrating that ds3 doesn't have randomized stuff like the chalice dungeons from bloodborne, that was another cool way to break up the game a bit if you were stuck on a part

that makes some sense, the demon ruins are very geometric and cookie-cutter in a way the rest of DS3 avoids really well. was there really a negative reaction? why? they're totally optional, i didn't even realize they existed/what they were until like months into the game haha. why would you ever complain about optional low-stakes content with opportunities for infinite boss fights, the best part of souls games by far? people are weird

Running them all at once if you need another Blood Rock or wanna see Yahrnham sucks hard, doing them piecemeal is the way to go but most people at launch just blitzed through the game

I liked them, but I think it's a valid complaint that it sucks when, like, you beat a boss (Blood-starved beast) and your reward is chalice materials. I'm much less into the "development time went into this part of the game I don't like" argument but it's also not completely invalid. Oh also the fact that if you want to min-max your blood gems you have to do the chalices, lots of griping about that as well

eh the thing about bloodborne is that (imo more than any other souls game but it might just be because i have the most experience in it) the loot that bosses drop isn't the only thing you get from them even if it's not immediately obvious. like in addition to giving you the chalice or whatever BSB also spawns snatchers in the world which allows you to go to the jail earlier and pick up some rad stuff. also BSB is kind of rough to solo but its position as an optional boss in the game, not to mention its position in the overall intended level scale, makes it an awesome boss to fight a bunch of times in co-op for echoes and insight. that was really my turning point in enjoying bloodborne: finally engaging with the co-op as a summon instead of a summoner for BSB. suddenly resources like insight were nowhere near as scarce and it really opened up the game for me

Every souls boss should be beaten solo. If you cooped it, you didn't actually beat it.

If you cooped it, you didn't actually beat it. meh. i get it, and i generally try a lot of attempts before giving in and summoning, but there are a couple bosses in DS3 that just don't agree with me at all for some reason and i eventually summoned for. there's also more than a few bosses that i achieved perfect kills on in my current playthrough. DS3 is a land of contrasts. having that summon option there is awesome for people who just want to get past a hard part, and in ds3 and bb it's implemented pretty well. plus as i mentioned in my previous post, being summoned is really cool and fun - it lets you take on a boss with very little pressure, and you're helping someone out in the process e: I actually don't think I summoned for anything in BB so far, but Orphan has me pretty close.

I can absolutely see how combat in witcher 3 could be actually enjoyable on hard difficulty settings because of all the different stuff you can do to get an edge if you're playing the game really thoroughly but also I just set it to easy and just ran wherever I wanted and hacked everything with a red bar to bits and every time I thought I'd take it up a notch I immediately regretted that because of all the aspects of it that I found tedious. It was somehow both way too slow and also way too busy and twitchy for me

Anyone who dictates how other people should enjoy games is a massive loving rear end in a top hat, and the only reason you would ever do this is because your own accomplishment at beating a game is a part of your identity that you value highly which is pathetic and you need help

You're an rear end in a top hat. You are voicing your opinion that other people shouldn't feel as good about their way to play the game as you do about yours. That's an opinion you should keep to yourself forever and you're an rear end in a top hat

Yeah you totally beat the boss while another dude distracted it and you hit it in the rear end the whole time while the AI was too dumb to deal with the fact there are two of you

the combat in witcher 3 is never hard after you master the dodge timing, the difficulty slider just determines how long you have to spend dodging to kill something.

Caesar Saladin posted:Yeah you totally beat the boss while another dude distracted it and you hit it in the rear end the whole time I didn't know how summoning worked until Dark Souls 3 and I played the Souls games in order from Demon's. I guess Dark Souls 3 is the hardest so there you go I never beat the bosses blind solo, by that point I felt like I had paid my dues and was free to use this feature I figured out. Now I can beat any boss solo because I read the wiki after I beat the game. All that aside, you are expressing an opinion about something that doesn't affect you, and expressing that opinion can only accomplish two things: 1) reduce other people's satisfaction with their experience 2) increase your satisfaction because you reduced someone else's satisfaction, because you're a loving rear end in a top hat you're a loving rear end in a top hat and so is anyone that tells someone they are playing a game wrong.

I also don't think you beat a Souls boss unless you do it solo. But I also don't look down on people who summon or bother to tell them that I think they didn't really kill the boss. I just personally, internally don't think you beat the boss. I keep it to myself though generally because 1) I don't feel the need to poo poo on what someone else feels is an accomplishment and 2) people get real mad when they are told what other people personally consider legit. You shouldn't give a poo poo what I consider legit. I don't give a poo poo what you consider legit. But alas.

I also don't think there are opinions people should keep to themselves unless they're bad enough you straight up shouldn't have them. I think there's contexts where you should keep them to yourself. Like if someone is happy they finally beat a Souls game and they needed to summon for a couple bosses you shouldn't be like "oh then you really didn't beat it" but in a general discussion like this it's fine.

Sounds like a pretty unpopular opinion, perfect for this thread. They don't have to listen to me, why should they care what I have to say? The bosses are designed to be fought 1 on 1. The AI can barely handle two people fighting at the same time in the slightest, you can quite literally have somebody else beat the entire boss for you while you just stand there and watch.

I guess it's more that I don't think *I* have finished a Souls game unless I beat every boss without summons because I was just like "okay" when you said you beat it summoning everything. No part of me was thinking "nah you didn't". But I couldn't do that myself. I'd either fight a boss until I beat it solo or I'd walk away.
