The chronosceptre is possible the worst secret weapon for actually getting to use it, a whole three shots on the final boss and that's it! Anyway I beat Turok, decent fps for the time but I was expecting more crazy weapons given its reputation, guess that's the sequels.

Time for Turok 2.....

I feel like there�s a purposeful psychological science to the amount of distance they put between the bonfire and the boss. There�s always some quiet running to do. They know it�s those few seconds you�ll spend introspectively examining what you did right and wrong last run, taking a deep breath or two and getting re-centered before the current one. Those seconds of running may seem repetitive, but they�re vital. It�s genius in a way. We are what we walk between.

I agree. It�s either expertly designed with that in mind or one of those neat things that happens in the creative process where things organically find their form and purpose and the end product isn�t quite what you expected but even better.

The rhythm and flow of DS1 is very cool to me. That plus the rather minimal �dated� graphics in the remaster are so nice. It adds up to a unique atmosphere that isn�t cluttered or too dense with details. It�s very clear and everything has a purpose from a gameplay perspective to the general look of each area.

I 100% recommend playing Turok 2 with a guide, some of the objectives are surprisingly easy to miss and the levels are gigantic. That Port of Adia music slaps so hard though.

Turok 2 is where the crazy weapons come in to play. The level design stinks though.

I�m so nervous about blighttown lmao. I�ve heard all the stories and seen some clips and well. Alright, I�m in!

I really like it. It�s classic and dead simple. Has some solid attacks and feels like a decent range for me. Can�t ask for much more!

Yeah I picked up on that and decided that I�d really like to stick it through. I could tell that the game was giving me a very fair and instructive challenge so I met it face to face and came out more confident than ever. It was a really fun fight honestly.

I�m approaching a zen like connection to the Capra Demon boss run. On one hand, holy gently caress I�m only starting to get my bearings with this nasty friend and their dogs after a bunch of embarrassing deaths. One the other I understand why some people like the routine of death->boss run. Every trip I try to be a little more efficient. It�s like a game in a game. Oddly relaxing once I�m at the point of the enemies in between not worrying me too much. Of course that�s when I get lazy and get my poo poo handed to me by MORE DOGS. This happens... most of the time. Game is still more fun than it has ever been for me!

Dont be like me and miss the shortcuts to the Capra Demon. Running back from Undead Burg or the Undead Parish sucks rear end

Yes, finally someone understands how dope boss runs are. It�s one of my favorite parts of souls games.

Phase 1: explore new area, eventually find the boss, die
Phase 2: master the boss run path, keep dying and making incremental progress on boss
Phase 3: beat boss, move on to next area, repeat

It�s so good, phase 2 is essential

Yeah, it's a very straightforward area once you know your way around, it's just confusing as hell. The trick to navigating it is really just to be aware that all ladders have torches attached to them, so if you can't figure out where to go, look for the flames. You'll get where you need to go sooner or later.

My first memory of Blighttown is getting to the middle bonfire and then immediately having my only weapon break and I didn't have the repair box, so I had to run all the way back up through Blighttown, Depths, and back to Andre with no usable weapon.

I think the psychology of it began as making killing the boss feel like a high stakes effort, since you actually had to play through a section of game to get there, but ultimately people realized immediately that theres almost nothing in Dark Souls that you can't just run past if you want to and that's what people did. By the later games they sort of just acknowledged this by making boss runs mostly painless.

Boss runs are something I'm honestly over. I'd be happy to have a bonfire at every boss door at this point. I like it in theory, but at this point we've been playing these things for 12 years, everyone just games it and it kind of just feels like a waste of time to me. At the same time they don't bug me that much or anything. I just think it's something that could be streamlined out of those games.

I was properly concerned with Blighttown when I first reached it, but we all had fun watching me fall off things and learn how to pro strat run past things, and then I got my favourite weapon so I cannot say I dislike Blighttown at all.

Also the best boss run back for me was Artorias because it was one of the few times I used the quiet path to think about what I was going to do. Usually the runs back have enemies I need to worry about so I concentrate on that, but with Artorias I had a clear pathway that I could use to really think about how I was going to defeat him

The depths really are 100% skippable even if you don't have the master key - there's a secret passage that slides you right past them, you land where Ay Siwmae guy is when you first encounter him.
