Is there metaphysical poo poo that has become, to use a technical term, “hosed up”, and can be un-hosed if the ring is fixed? Or is fixing the ring in response to the shattering like reviving Archduke Ferdinand in response to WWI?

No, to the extent death being weird is a diegetic part of the universe and not a gameplay mechanic it’s a consequence of the rune of death being removed, which happened long before the ring was shattered. And while the specific consequences of the rune of death being removed are very vague, they don’t seem to have changed at all post-shattering.

IIRC the ring itself does specifically control certain metaphysical aspects of the world which is why you can get different endings from using the various mending runes. I don't think it's entirely laid out what the exact mechanics are, but my take on it is that the Elden Ring ensured that things happened the way they were supposed to. Things that were supposed to die died, things that were supposed to be immortal stayed immortal. With the ring broken some things still act as they were meant to, but now it's suddenly possible for "impossible" things to happen like the dead not dying or immortals being killed. Repairing the ring means re-establishing Order to the world and ensuring everything acts as it's intended to. Just following the main story restores the original Order as it was before the game, but using one of the mending runes from one of the side plots means that the Order you're imposing on reality is a different one than the original.

Death being weird was a thing that the Greater Will did, which is still happening, but it's a little more hosed as a result of the Rune of Death stuff because Fia tried to bring back Godwyn (I think?) and that led to people coming back as Those Who Walk In Death instead of how they're "supposed to" come back.

So, in DS3, did they change the parrying controls? Going with a Knight build per my son's request. He picks where to go and what to buy and poo poo. He's the navigator. But I can't parry a loving thing.

As far as I can tell, the plot in elden ring: is kill everything, become lord. I don't read item descriptions, I get upgrade weapons and go places and kill things. Eventually I'll run out of things to kill.

DS3 parrying is pretty similar to Demon’s Souls/DS1 parries where you want to hit parry pretty much right at the point of impact, compared to DS2 or Elden Ring where there’s a bit of windup time beforehand.

But I can't parry a loving thing. Same controls, but most humanoids will have tricks up their sleeve and you'll encounter a lot of weird and fast combos, so parrying starts becoming a very high risk thing. Compared to DS1, DS3 makes rolling super cheap on stamina, and you can now roll in every direction when locked on. Poise (your ability to complete your attack and not get stunned) is pretty much gone* so heavy armor now offers only the dmg reduction. You get slapped silly if you just stand there trying to mash. *it's now tied to how big your weapon is

DS3 Poise is kinda funny to me because it took until Elden Ring to make the game work like it should for the enemies in that regard, where they get staggered by greatsword swings but guys like the omens have super armor/poise specifically when doing attacks, where maybe that was the case for enemies in DS3 but I sure never saw it.

If I remember correctly, in DS III not only do you have to initiate the parry a little before the attack connects, various shields also have different number of frames when the parry is "active" - specifically, light shields and parrying shields have the most, and the larger the shield the less frames it has.

What are the worst maps in open world games? Arkham Origins is two separate districts of Gotham stitched together by a long bridge. You're going to use fast-travel to skip crossing that bridge every time a quest prompts you. You can't fly gracefully as there are numerous large buildings in the way you can't grapple to, making the playable space actually a weird question-mark shape. What further compounds it is that there are gunmen everywhere. One particular spot is full of snipers for no reason. The whole map feels empty as it's bland, snowy, and full of half-heartedly placed collectibles. The Riddler is voiced by the same guy as always, but he's bored and doesn't a poo poo about what's going on. The handful of interior levels are no better. There's a police station and if you want to backtrack through it you have to go through vents and broken windows because Batman lacks the will or strength to just knock an ordinary door open. At one point you must enter a morgue, except you find the place by going up a trap-door in a vast sewer system underneath. Inspector Gesicht has a new favorite as of 20:34 on May 7, 2022 |

The Thief remake/sequel is absolutely the worst "open world" map I've suffered through. There's next to nothing to do, it's basically three small neighbourhoods, and you just sneak around from end to the other to start missions, but more and more guards show up in between so it becomes agonizingly slow. They could have made it a linear game and lost nothing
