Note: Offer invalid if the same animation is also part of an 8-hit wombo combo that is otherwise the same.

All true, but also the crucible knight is an rear end in a top hat. And I keep running into versions of him with more health. As soon as I figure him out, they put another one in a different arena that changes how you fight him.

That just reminds me that in Dark Souls 2 they repeat a tough boss fight in the DLC with a palette swap, but also just slightly changed the timing on its attacks so your already-built muscle memory would gently caress you over while dodging its attacks

Yeah tbh even when the advice is fundamentally just “there’s no trick, you just need to learn the boss’s attack patterns and figure out when you need to be on the defensive and when you have a safe opening to attack. You’ll get the hang of it” I think that’s better than git gud

The secret to get gud is get a big shield. No, bigger. BIGGER! Ok, now two hand it and when they hit your shield, press the right trigger.

Goofballs posted:My thing dragging down Elden Ring is I have no clue why I'm doing anything. Like in the broad sense I know I need to collect big souls to reform the elden ring. Anything more specific that, nah. I'm just running around the world fighting. I've played dark souls games and samurai souls at release before and picked up the jist of things. Elden ring I'm just entirely befuddled, there are hollows? Is there an undeath curse? I don't remember anyone saying that. Its gorgeous, the fighting is tight but people say baffling things to you, you agree to their requests but you don't know what to do about them. There's one quest that's I need you to go find a golden needle in a swamp and I'll explain what happened here. Go find a needle in a swamp, that's worse than a haystack. In like 6 months someone will make a video explaining what the gently caress is going on but in the meantime I'm just stumbling around the world like I'm on ether and extremely belligerent This is the first thing about Elden Ring I've heard that actually gives me pause. Because an overly-vague and minimal plot was one of the things that really turned me off of Dark Souls 3.

Oxxidation posted:sekiro’s stealth is a complete afterthought, it’s an action game through and through Well then I don't know what it says that the 'afterthought' part of the design is better than the core. I would be enjoying fighting Lady Butterfly a lot more if it had some stealth to break up several minutes of 'attack after dodging her unblockable'.

I really wanted to like Sekiro more than I did, but the block and parry timing just seemed completely unforgiving. I heard it might actually be tied to your TV/monitor's refresh rate, and I know my TV's "game mode" is pretty garbage, but it was the first and only game I've played that has given me such a hard time with a basic mechanic. I think my save file is stuck where I can go in three different directions to get horribly killed by three different bosses but that's about it.

Same. I really liked the small bit of Sekiro I played, but I hit the point where I could either fight Butterfly or one of the main bosses (the bull I think) and either way I'd get clobbered. Though my main issue with Sekiro was all the systems they have to punish dying, so it straight up gets harder the more stuck you are

More than any other from game, with sekiro you literally just have to get good. No amount of extra health or retires is going to make up for learning the ability to predict and counter enemy attacks flawlessly.

You literally get a resurrect button if you die mid fight.

Morpheus posted:Why does Pokemon Arceus want you to catch so many drat pokemon? Catching multiples, sure, but catching 25 of something? Or wanting you to catch 20 of something, but then wanting 25 captures at night or something. At a guess, because you can quickly catch 5 pokemon now in the same time it would take you to catch 1 in the old games (considering stuff like start of battle animations, choosing your attack even if it's just mashing A, waiting for the turn to end and chosing a pokeball). gently caress that, imma just gonna machine-gun out these pokeballs and skip that battle nonsense. A little annoying that it's usually "Catch 25" from what's I've seen, 15 or 20 would have probably been fine.

You don't have to buff for any boss. Your healing gourd is more than enough and it replenishes when you are at an idol. None of that makes the game harder when you die. Like, it's ok to bounce off a game if it's not for you, but Sekiro factually doesn't make the game harder when you die.

Yes, they're 'just consumables', but Sekiro leans harder on consumables than any Souls game, and I can't say is better for it.

Unseen aid is just a bonus to not drop your skill points and gold on death. If you're dying over and over to the same boss then what is the difference? And there's still nothing preventing you from farming enemies to make them back. No mechanics in combat are different on death. It's not like Dark Souls 2 where your maximum HP goes down with each death.
