Sekiro bosses are a dance between peers, Souls bosses are 'wonder what fresh bullshit this is going to be', and Elden Ring is 'No tarnished, you are the bullshit'.

i started wo long with english voices, and thought man these are bad, it really recreates the feel of watching a very badly dubbed movie

then i switched to japanese, which to my ears is nice and comfy, but it felt silly to play a game about china in japanese so i switched to chinese, which sounds strange cause i'm not used to it.


i'm also playing on keyboard so all those steam reviewers are really just bad imo. although, it might be because by default i have a very high sensitivity on my mouse that it's playable at all.

no primate in any video game who farts and/or throws feces deserves any respect

in live a live you get a lovely gorilla who learns how to throw his poop at enemies and it's actually a really useful move for the chapter's superboss

got very mad at Wo Long today, but also I feel like I've gotten better? Very conflicted on this.

Anyway, they finally announced Cities Skylines 2 so I'm very excited about that.

Catching up on the thread after being away from my computer for a few days, and I was surprised I didn't see this interview during all the G4 chat.

At the time this aired, I was a regular reader of the front page, but never bothered to look at the forums. This interview convinced me it was worth it even that as I understand, that was the opposite intention.

He doesn't politely wait for you to read his attacks like FromSoft enemies do
But he does. At least it felt like I read his every move. In that winning battle I deflected his ranged attack twice, which practically insta-stuns him. It was just... easy to read. I dunno.

Mr Hootington posted:

Souls brain being a hindrance to wo long would be a fun twist.
I sucked at Sekiro, beat Bloodborne just fine, and I know Elden Ring isn't a barometer for "skill at FromSoft games" but I did recently beat it, including Malenia, and was able to first-try some of the harder bosses in the game. So I've got Souls on the brain which made me feel more prepared for Wo Long.

i think wo long is going to end up feeling easier for certain people by virtue of the fact that the fromsoft catalogue, with the exception of sekiro, has the clunkiest controls and worst input buffering of any third person action game i can think of, and so a game that was developed by people who make action titles for a living is necessarily going to feel like you've had the training weights lifted

i've played nioh 2, wo long, and all the PC-available fromsoft titles extensively and the degree of character control you have in a team ninja game vs. a fromsoft game is a night and day difference

i think this was a more deliberate design choice in dark souls 1, but the evolution towards aggressive, fast paced combat was not matched by an increase in responsiveness, so you end up with elden ring where i am still hitting dodge roll late, getting hit, and then having that input buffer through after the hit

I’m less than halfway through wo long and it has had at least three separate bosses so far whose main form of attack is “lazily wave a tentacle from one side of the screen to the other”

the input buffer not clearing on hit is well known and easy to replicate, and is not a consequence of mashing, something that is also provable by playing, say, wo long and never seeing similar input buffering in it at all ever

i've had it plenty of times by pressing the dodge roll key once late when the hit has already connected and having it buffer through

you can certainly say that's a punishment, but getting hit is already sufficient punishment for an action title without then making it feel like your character is being mind controlled
