7c Nickel posted:Some people actually level nothing but assassin even when they intend to play something else for the max physical attack. If you want to dip into another class for a particular augment that's fine, but don't worry about stat gains. For me it is less about optimizing and more about drifting between classes once I reach max rank to see how they play, but yeah  I thought I saw in the OP that if you want to play as Mystic Knight you should play as mage for a few levels so I was wondering if that applied to the other classes. EDIT: Having said all that I am also tempted to switch back to fighter because I miss my Sword and Board. Unlucky7 fucked around with this message at 09:32 on Mar 13, 2024 |

The Mystic Knight advice is because their gains are defense focused and people want to do max damage.

Debating whether to get the game on PS5 or waiting until it's available on GeForce Now, because it seems like Capcom puts all of their games on GeForce Now eventually. Is there an established pattern of games becoming available on GFN after, say, 3 or 6 months, or is it different for each game?

Heithinn Grasida posted:So one thing that really annoys me is we get weird double spears but no actual nice regular rear end spears to use. Why do so many games have poor pole arm representation? The answer is that spears are boring, because all you can do is poke and bonk, and bladed polearms are a different problem, because either you have annoying mechanics or they look weird/wrong or both. Like you try to tell me how you can make polearms mechanically different/interesting without making them awful to play and without making them look ridiculous when you are doing a ridiculous degree of cleaving through allies/the world and not even hitting with the actual relatively small blade most of the time. It's a difficult problem to solve, and there's no reason to solve it other than out of combat aesthetics. K8.0 fucked around with this message at 13:35 on Mar 13, 2024 |

Im talking to my kid about how DD2 is shaping up to be a completionist's nightmare, but the fandom seems to me like its taking it in stride? vs. if this sort of thing were in a From game, the Internet would probably definitely explode  its very amusing! I am excited for him to play it

Spears are amazingly cool, except when they're designed by somebody who has never seen one used before.

It's different for each game and company, Capcom have a few things on there and have been ramping it up a bit but I don't think Resident Evil Village is and that's nearly 3 years old at this point. It hadn't been announced as being on there when I checked last week so i would guess it'll be awhile if at all.

With a more comprehensive grasp of the editor under my belt, I present Gilius Thunderhead revision 2. One of the things you need to know is that when you're picking a base head, the 2nd choice has some serious consequences. If you pick a variant with heavy circles of color under those are basically permanent unless you do the 3 stage base head selection again.

picked up dragon's dogma 1 on steam since it was like five bucks about a week ago, and just finished it this morning. fantastic game. it definitely feels of-its-era but it does such interesting, unique, and fun stuff all together that I definitely was happy to give it a full playthrough. and i plan to play it again sometime for sure. as the final credits rolled i realized who i want to have as my pawn in dragon's dogma 2, so i whipped up The Eggpawn   not sure what to do for my player character yet, but i think he'll be fun to have along. and a big, tanky boy who can hold all my stuff.

If you haven't finished the postgame (wakestone quest line) and BBI (twice), make sure you do those. The postgame has the real plot conclusion, and while BBI starts off brutally difficult, it's really a blast of a dungeon crawl. Note that BBI will make you really rich and powerful, so doing BBI before endgame may be a good choice with current time limitations. K8.0 fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Mar 13, 2024 |

BBI was one of my favorite dungeons in any fantasy RPG I've played and I really hope DD2 gets a similar expansion in a year or so. I really liked the tonal shift compared to the base game. It was everything I love about Bloodborne's chalice dungeons but in one big environment.

Wondering if they'll work in the spawning mechanics from BBI somewhere- winning a fight and then getting an elder ogre or garm, or Death, was charmingly dickish.

I finally got around to playing Dark Arisen after my brother gifted it to me a while ago. I don't really play as mage characters in games like this but I heard that the Mage class is awesome, and so far I haven't been disappointed. Spells feel very powerful, and I only have the basic elemental stuff. And the Pawns have not disappointed me either. . . in their incessant chatter. They're just so eager and goofy.

One of the weirder things I've seen in DD1 is that while some mage spells take like 3 hours to wind up and cast, trailers give the impression that this isn't really a problem, that enemies will stand around waving their arms menacingly or be otherwise engaged with pawns, giving you plenty of time to cast the really big rear end spells without being under too much pressure. Is that how it usually happens? Can you fairly reliably cast the big wind up spells without getting interrupted?

Yeah enemies don't really gently caress with you too much if your pawns are doing things wolves and goblins and bandits might gently caress with you more but I have a secret for you: wolves ill like fire, arisen

Fighters specifically have a taunt skill where they bang their shield and pawns use it relentlessly
