Neo_Crimson posted:Woolie trying desperately to railroad Reggie into the same Dex Regen build he had on his own play-through, even though Reggie said repeatedly he wants to be a wizard, is probably the biggest flaw of that LP yeah. That's really lovely. I never played any of the Soulsborne games, but don't they allow for wizards and such? Should've let Reggie be the class he wanted to be and then work around that instead.

I think Demon's is a better candidate for a magic-focused first playthrough than the other souls games, but if you go magic, you've gotta go hard- int, magic, end/vit, and that's basically it. And Reggie was never going be allowed to play any way other than The Woolie Way, no matter how loving insane that way was. And yeah, the "hints" were obnoxious as hell. Either articulately say something, or don't say anything, don't constantly make half-assed cryptic remarks that only make sense to Woolie. Oxyclean posted:Woolie is being sponsored to play Yakuza 7 for 13 hours. The requirement isn't to hit some specific event, just to spend 13 hours playing. What I'm taking away is that there's a second location you go to in the game, but it's entirely possible Woolie won't make it there in the 13 hours if they get sidetracked a bunch. Weirdly enough this didn't bug me as much as anything in souls, even though it was way more egregious, but yeah- they basically spent 8-10 hours in a tutorial zone. Yokohama's the main gameplay area, and it looks like they might get 2-3 hours there before the timer expires. Edit: I'm listening to the last episode now, and Woolie can gently caress off. It's infuriating to hear him go "Congrats Reggie- you played your way" after 60 hours of "No Reggie, the correct way to play magic is with a meat clever and no endurance or faith. No Reggie, shields are worthless. No Reggie, stop using the weapons you like and go back to using the weapon I like." Omi no Kami fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Mar 18, 2021 |

It sucks hugely that they're doing LAD because of some sponsored thing and not just because it's an amazingly fun game, they better pick it back up I guess like, post-0 or something.

Oxyclean posted:My hot take is that if Woolie let Reggie go wild on putting his points wherever, the LP would have been miserable. I kind of feel like magic builds in Souls can be really dependent on knowing what you're doing, and also to a degree, it feels like Reggie was spreading himself thin at times. Like from observation, it seems like Reggie would have a hard time doing magic unless he went hard into it, since he was going OOM just using a few spells. In that sense, magic can be a bit of a crutch since you'll kill plenty without really having to deal with it, but then when you're OOM, you have little practice with melee.

Magic was busted as gently caress in Demon's Souls and progressively got worse in every release because people were big babies and complained it was too easy. I run wizards every game and it is pretty disheartening, but it was funny running around Bloodborne shooting magic snotrockets at every boss. Dark Souls 3 magic was miserable and when I fought Dark Eater Midir I basically had to just had to lure him into magic fart clouds for 15 minutes straight while tanking him with magic shield. Reggie should have just rolled a royal and annihilated everything with magic missiles from 100 feet away while the chat and Woolie melted down.

If Woolie plays games a quarter as slowly as you guys make it sound, he will get to Yakuza 7 by 2046. Meanwhile Nomura will be retired for four years and still be getting blamed for every decision in Square Enix over the last 70 years.

Magic build Crystal Soul Spears and faith build Lightning Spears were like hurling nuclear bombs at bosses in 1. It's been a while since I've played 2, but I remember there being a lot of bosses that magic was straight garbage against like the Fume Knight and Smelter Demons. Pyro was completely nerfed in 2 also, and Hexes just felt like recolored soul magic.

Honestly, I think Woolie will return to LAD shortly after 0. Here's the timeline in my head. He does one or two more sessions of LAD. April through June he finishes 0 (I forget how far he's in, but alas) July through September he does Kiwami since everyone will be telling him to mainline it. People will tell him Kiwami 2 is super great, but he can't stop thinking about how *Real* LAD was, and something (chat telling him he should do it all in order, Pat saying he can totally handle the spoilers involved, V strangling him until Woolie finally lets them go back, idk) pushes him to just jump back to LAD and that's the rest of 2021 and a bunch of 2022. Then Woolie will shelf Yakuza until Yakuza 8 gets announced, and you'd think he would jump in to Kiwami 2 after the announcement, but the timing will be far dumber and there'll be at least 3 streams of Kiwami 2 after 8 comes out.

The single craziest thing Pat said in DS3 was that double weapons were better than powerstancing. Well, that and that Miyazaki was just constantly looking to own the DS2 devs.

Getting to Yokohama in Like a Dragon doesn't take much. The problem is that the beginning of the game is aggressive with its cutscenes. It's genuinely on the level of the intro of a Persona game. I have 6 hours logged into LaD, and I only just now properly got to walk around Yokohama for the first time. You really can't fiddle around much in the early game either, as you don't really earn a ton of money to have fun. So Woolie will likely get a good chunk of whatever you can call progress in this game. The story is interesting, and I have to say that it's actually genuinely funny at parts. I do feel like there was just an hour of full-motion cutscenes that I feel could have played as flashbacks later on. I like Yakuza games a lot and LaD seems like it'll eventually get fun, but I've been bored to tears by the intro of the game so far. And turning Reggie away from magic wasn't necessarily the worst idea. The trap that lots of Souls newbies get into is treating it like lots of other RPGs, thinking they'll be spamming chain lightning or fireballs after a few levels. Then when they realize that's not the case, they tend to drop the game. It was kind of a dumb idea to tell Reggie that his internalization of the mechanics was wrong, but I don't think the playthrough has really suffered from it.

well he did it, he hopped into factorio https://www.twitch.tv/videos/956039055 not sure how he took it, I've not watched it yet, but I'm guessing it was overwhelming for him. I went in almost totally blind and the tutorials were okay to begin with but now I'm at the point where I can make gold science juice and hoo boy, I think everything I've built up until now is basically step 1 in a 10 step process. I'm about to start making lubricant so I can build robots and power armor for my dude, and the biter colonies are evolving rapidly and attacking my outposts with huge biters and spitters. their pathing and AI isn't entirely great so it's pretty easy to cheese them if I'm nearby, but they keep spawning new biter bases all over the place that I'm having to clean up. my game, after a short game on peaceful before I restarted so I had any threat at all from the biters, started out with this small base with a biter colony so close that I had the bastards on my rear end almost from the word go:  ran out of resources and had to expand outwards and built a few train stations:   the biter bases(bright red splotches all over the map, not the red cloud of pollution surrounding my bases) are increasing surprisingly fast, I've started putting up gun emplacements over the ruins of every biter base I destroy so they don't come right back:  my science merry go round is very colorful with the different types of science juice, it's not efficient at all but even after learning the "right" way to make a research area I'm gonna leave it like this because I like how it looks  game's real good and absurdly deep, I wager I'm probably a third or a quarter of the way through, and 50 hours in. I'm getting to the point where the stuff I have an entire base designed just to produce that one item is now a single ingredient of which like a dozen are required for each of the next tier of item, and my conveyor belts are spaghetti nonsense   it's a surprisingly zen experience. the biters are an ever-present threat, but the whole process of building bases is a pretty chill one. if you've not given the game a shot I recommend it. It also looks really nice, you can zoom all the way in and everything is pretty detailed, it's kinda crazy how much is going on simultaneously and it doesn't chug. there's gotta be hundreds of thousands of individual entities moving around at the same time in my game and there's no slowdown whatsoever.

I do that too, I have a copper production line that has like 30,000 copper plates in crates and another place with huge amounts of circuit boards in crates, but I can eventually set it up to siphon off the plates/circuits to be used somewhere else at least so it's not necessarily pointless to amass resources. if he's just shoving basic ore in a box then yeah that's not really useful
