Parrying is what makes a good souls game a great souls game

It's the top post on page 47, so this is an absolute fact for at least page 47

the dark secret of harvest moon, is that most of them have barely any farming, and "the bad hms" are often the ones that focus on it most heavily. the farm in rf4 is tiny as gently caress and you can only have, a little bit of livestock. but the amount of farming they do have, it is crucial that you manage because you have to do it but it sucks time and energy away from what is more important. its a careful balance of design

i only played rf 1 and 2 but the careful balance felt like a lot of loving about in caves chugging poo poo I plucked out of the ground just to hopefully get this part over with. At the same time, Stardew I only know through a lens of playing with mods which isn't a fair comparison. I guess I use whatever cheats or exploits are available to me in any RF/HM game too though. I really think there's jus ta lot of room to improve on that front, I don't think any of them manage the time/energy aspect very well at all.

Any game in which you're expected to enter a series of button presses is a QTE, when you really think about it.

You can do it! You can parry more of the moves in the first phase than you think, and if you can get past the second phase you're gonna win. Take it slow and cautious in the second phase and don't get greedy going for damage.

The second phase can also be cheesed by going for a dash melee into one of the corners and then manually aiming right before he opens fire. Samus ducks down slightly doing this and Raven Beak won't adjust his aim to account for it. You'll take minimal damage.

Elden Ring is: RPG; hobby-grade coop campaign; genre-blended, multi-mode competitive e-sports; meta-growth, choice + epic Elden Ring heroes!

This is why I don't want to hear a single thing about it, because I already know I'm going to play it so why waste my sense of wonder and the joy of discovery on poo poo from some beta test? People whip themselves into unwinnable frenzies of hype for games nowadays and if people weren't obsessed with every detail of games pre-release I posit people would have better times with games.
