There's no harder boss in this game than the camera on PC. No matter what I'm fighting, unless I'm locked on, which is not an option for certain fights, the camera wants to constantly get behind me and follow the direction I'm moving, and there's nothing more important than keeping an eye on the boss's location and movements. I'm constantly counteracting the camera with lateral mouse movements and it sucks to no end.

Mailer posted:I'm of two minds if posting hats is a spoiler. I don't have the int to cast it myself but IIRC the comet spell's description mentioned being chargeable. Is that the charged or uncharged damage? Even great glintstone pebble does double the damage of the basic pebble, and that doesn't require 52 int... e: Also it makes perfect sense for the basic melee attack with none of the advantages of sorcery to be more fp-efficient than the safe ranged attacks that can be cast while moving with low animation lock. Melee swinging is 100% fp-efficient after all, and can hit for a lot more than 89 damage with a less crappy weapon or more upgrades. There are even weapons with natural int scaling to find. I dunno if any will be buffable though. RPATDO_LAMD fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Feb 27, 2022 |

Seems like most of them gently caress off afterwards and if they don't show up at the base then I have no idea where they are to be found.

Can you buy or find the various classes starting gear? Reasonably early would be great, but even later would be alright. I had fun starting out naked, but some of that stuff looks pretty cool.

goferchan posted:While the world is probably quite smaller than massive stuff like Assassin's Creed or whatever the way it gives you that sense of scale is continually mindblowing. It's something I have never seen a game pull off before. I feel pretty safe in calling this the most epic video game of all time. And I don't mean that in the trite overused way goons have been making fun of for the last 20 years—I mean it sincerely. There may be bigger or longer games out there, but none feel as meticulously crafted as this one. Every time you think you've seen it all, the game knocks you on your rear end with another vista, or you get goosebumps from another incredible boss fight. And they make everything feel more organic than other open world RPGs where you just accept quests, go to quest markers, get loot. This game is an immense feat the likes of which are unlikely to be recaptured by anyone other than the same team if they ever decide to do another game like this.

Not even close. The camera is constantly trying to follow behind me when I'm doing mounted combat. I mean constantly getting behind me. It's not as pronounced on foot. Try this: get on your mount and try to run in one direction while looking to your left or right.

Beat Godrick earlier today before I had to go to work at level 29. Started as a Samurai, and the bleed from the katana worked really well against both Margrit and Godrick. I think I farmed like 15k runes from the 5 giants just to get some stats before moving on. I haven't figured out how to summon things like the jellyfish, but whatever. I don't think I have a lot left to explore of the first area, just the area south of the starting location. Then I'll have to decide to move onto the poison swamp or the lake region. Wasted like 2 hours in the former after I got transported there by a trapped chest. Biggest issue that I've been having honestly is trying to get parry timings down, lots of enemies wind up for way longer than I'm expecting, so I end up parrying way too early then get flattened by them.

Yeah I found a vendor that sold a few astrologen pieces, so I'm assuming most vendors have 1-2 parts of the starting sets sprinkled in. Usually when I'm at vendors I'm only looking for pots and recipes so I've probably overlooked a lot of that armor

Todays summary: Found several locations far beyond what I perceived the map boundaries to be. Found the path I should have taken long ago weeping peninsula to the south and wound up going back and killing Margit finally. thanks for the tips on bleed but I also used poison as well. The scale is almost fatiguing. I honestly thought pre-launch that I'd maybe even beat the main story this weekend. I cant see that happening inside 100 hours, and I'm not an obsessive completionist or give a gently caress about achievements, but I also cant leave a path unexplored. I slept on the horse for my first 6-8 hours, now cant be in the overworld without him. Really trivializes combat vs regular enemies, and even the big fuckers.

I started this game as a wretch and 6 hours in I finally have a set of gear. Fleshing out a Dex based build. Game is good! Also, I beat Sekiro this morning and now I'm dodging toward spear thrusts all the time.

Cowcaster posted:i guess the one caveat is if you're trying to get a lock on something but the game doesn't recognize what you're looking at to lock on it'll snap the camera to the direction you're facing, are you like holding the button down or something? OK so here's the specifics to reproduce what I'm doing. Hit D to run to the right. Notice that you're running in a circle and not straight to the right. That's because the camera is rotating to stay on your right flank and keep you in view. There's nothing wrong with this per se. Now imagine you want to hit the D button to run right but you want to keep something on your left side in view. In that case you want the camera to pan alongside you, not rotate in place. If you're ever played WOW, this is accomplished by holding the right mouse button while strafing. That's not an option here. So what I'm wanting ideally is a free camera that pans to keep me in view instead of rotating which not only affects my own movement, but keeps enemies out of view. This is not really noticeable until I'm doing some jousting like against a dragon or that tree guardian guy. Both of those fights were a nightmare because the only time I even saw them was when I was heading right for them.

Cowcaster posted:ok i did: Yeah it does with the stick as well, but it's slightly easier to manage with that setup. And you got it, I'm trying to get rid of that circular rotation. I mean I'm managing OK, I did get these bosses down eventually, but if I'm trying to do fancy skiddly-doo horsework about 75% of my energy is spent moving the loving camera around. Different games handle the camera differently, I'm adjusting and having to recalibrate my reflexes accordingly.

With a thumbstick you can just hold it a bit to the side and be all set.

I disregard all talk of mkb in FROM games despite being a devout user for anything with guns. Yet I play all these games with this ridiculous claw grip in which I use my thumb to pan the camera while curling my index finger and using that to hold sprint.

Man, now that I finally have enough smithing stone [1]s to upgrade poo poo, I'm honestly kind of conflicted. I've been using the twinblade up to this point, and it rocks face... but it hits so hard, and so fast, that it feels like cheating. Like, most of the enemies I've found honestly feel like they're not set up to deal with its move set or damage output. I'll probably just end up buffing the zweihander or something instead, that thing never goes wrong.

Deviant posted:Any swords that scale well off int? There used to be in souls iirc I've found one so far: the Sword of Saint Trina, which also applies the new sleep status! Seems to hit decently harder than my old magic mace. I found it Behind a stone-key fogwall in some ruins in the northwest of redrot land The Moonlight Greatsword will definitely exist somewhere or other too. From have put that in all of their games since Demon's Souls (or maybe it was even in the King's Field series?).
