I am almost certain Margit randomly varies the timing on his swings even if it's the same attack from instance to instance. If that's the case that's part of why that fight is so difficult.

I'm not complaining though, I love it, been awhile since a Fromsoft game tested me like the Margit fight did.

The large windup attack absolutely varies its timing unless you gain distance to force him to use a charge. It's not the first time they've used the trick, but it's making the fight especially tedious when combined with the outrageous backhopping.

I'm playing a Prisoner so the backhop didn't bother me, I just fired off a couple glintswords while waiting for him to charge me again.

Margit also has options as to what move he'll do next, I've never seen a boss combo into so many different strings of the same moves before in a Soulsborne. Some of his attacks will also change depending on the distance you are from him.

I've made it to about half health so far.

What I really love is that he'll cancel a combo string to use another attack if it's appropriate to your positioning/actions. For example, I've seen him throw a single dagger into a charge instead of double daggers.

lmao, I figured I'd just create a character since my controller doesn't work, and the views in character creation are partially mapped to my rudder pedals with no way to change that. So even using m/kb, it keeps adjusting character view. joystick doesn't seem to be doing anything, and the throttle is unplugged. Such rookie dogshit.

Well gently caress!
I start my game, die to something faster than I could make out what it was. Appear somewhere new, talk to a guy and get killed by a guy on a horse. Explore to find some camp of easy dudes and a chest. Chest sends me somewhere with enemies that kill me in 2 hits and I cannot leave. This is what I get for avoiding spoilers.

Came out into the open world for the first time and found a big golden dude on a horse.

Killed him by hiding inside a building and poking him with magic missiles.

I assume this is the correct way to play.

after editing wikipedia as a joke for 16 years, i ve convinced myself that homer simpson's japanese name translates to the "The beer goblin"
i5-7600k no overclock and a 3070 TI, running at 1440p on high. Getting a pretty consistent 55-60 fps. Sometimes it drops down to 40ish. No real stutters that I'm noticing.

It didn't recognize my Xbox controller but I used the first fix I found and it worked fine.

hi birds

a short time later, i fell through the ground along the beach lmao

Also every time i die i get stuck on an infinite loading screen and have to alt+f4, which does add an extra layer of tension to combat.

Performance test number 2, 2070 Super

30-40 FPS on all settings high, 4k, HDR turned on. GPU fully cranked

This game definitely isn't as bad as perceived regarding performance and GPUs, they just need to fix the stuttering issue.

Yeah, everything is 100% good, only something is causing FPS hitching at critical times that I'm pretty sure isn't connected to GPU or CPU. Once that's resolved and the game is a buttery smooth 60fps throughout it's gonna be the GOAT

Still annoyed that I don't know what happened during the first boss fight though because it hitched hugely right as they dropped down and I didn't get a stable camera until I was already dead lol

Quitting the game (even from the title screen) also doesn't seem to work, as a PSA to everyone. Every time I've quit, steam still thinks the game is running. I noticed that the exe just gets suspended in task manager, so I've had to manually force quit it there in order to get the game to fully close, lmao

Is it possible to look at the map when you're not resting at a grace site? I haven't found as way yet.

Also, has anyone found a shield that doesn't have parry so I can actually use these ashes of War?

You can look at it any time you're not in combat. It's the touchpad button on a PS controller, not sure about others.

And yeah there's one really early on from a merchant on the beach right where you emerge from the tutorial cavw
