Snowmankilla posted:So I have never played Dark Souls, but I have heard it is stupid hard. Is it fun as well? The difficulty is greatly overstated and mostly comes from treating it like other action RPGs - that is, running and button-mashing. You're supposed to take things slower, pay attention to things like enemy attack animations and environmental cues (there is no trap or ambush you can't spot before it happens). If you enjoy that sort of gameplay then it's amazing and really stands out as one-of-a-kind.

Zero VGS posted:Every Dark Souls game will have a part where you're going up a staircase and some rear end in a top hat rolls a flaming boulder down the top of it, there's lots of "gently caress you" moments like that where you're going to get owned the first time without adequate warning. Other players can even invade your world and disguise themselves as a statue, then pop off a crossbow shot to snipe you off a narrow bridge you're walking across. If you have a sense of humor about stuff like that (like me) then you'll love it, but if the thought of being griefed by the developers and other players sends you into a rage then you're gonna give up and refuse to touch it again (like my brother). The developers aren't griefing you, they simply want you to pay attention. A careful approach and an attention to your surroundings will let you spot stuff like that before it happens and is in fact one of the reasons the Souls games are so great! If you rush in blindly then you will surely come across a lot of those "bullshit" moments but they're entirely your own fault (and that's great!)

Brother Entropy posted:a jumping attack is just forward + heavy attack, though??? No idea if you can rebind your keys in the Switch version but I know at least in the PC version of the Remaster you could, which is great because having run and jump be the same button was legitimately Really Bad Design (the rest of the Souls games got it right)

Detective No. 27 posted:"Git Gud" is mostly a jokey phrase but it's kinda true. You're not supposed to be good at Dark Souls your first time. It's a game you go at for a while. Learn it's quirks. ) and some people have a lot easier time going through the game despite being rubbish at the combat simply by proceeding with caution and taking things slow.The one part that you obviously can't prep for in advance is the boss fights, but even those have fairly rigid "rules" and once you figure them out it's just a matter of executing them. And if it proves to be too much, the game basically provides a "skip this boss" option with the summoning system so anyone can get through the game. I think one of the main things that makes the Souls games fun instead of frustrating is that when you die it's your own fault, so you can go "ugh, why did I/didn't I..." and you get the urge to try again and do better. If you just "randomly died" at the whims of the dastardly developers it wouldn't be any fun because you couldn't learn anything from it (see: RNG in games).

Can you respec in PoE now or can you still spend hours making a character only to find out it's worthless and have to start the game over again?

pixaal posted:You get a decent amount of free respec points but they are only for a single point at a time so you still want to be careful. The other thing is you probably want to play a league where they are running a ton of fun events, these only last 3-4 months then they run something else completely new and either never run the event again or integrate it making it so rare it might as well not exist. Your character will get dumped into the primary server that is basically dead as everything that has ever dropped is there. The league stuff (and seasons in Diablo for that matter) don't really sound like my kinda thing, I just like taking my time with games and chilling  I just asked because the one time I tried PoE I enjoyed it and was building towards what I thought was a really neat interaction, then after like 20 hours when I finally got the skills I was building towards I found out they don't interact like I thought and the entire build is worthless, congrats you wasted 20 hours start over! That was back when the game first came out I think, it was a long time ago.

I enjoyed Diablo 3 at launch but I also have no nostalgia for Diablo 2 and just played it like a fun single player action RPG on a normal difficulty v vGonna admit I don't understand the "endgame" stuff at all or the speedrunning or the seasons or the rifts or multiplayer. Still got a lot of hours out of it, though I haven't really played it since (did finish the story on each of the classes though).

CharlestheHammer posted:Yeah anime as a descriptor is kind of meaningless It's vague but it's a great descriptor! It's like saying something is "80's". The 80's were a lot of things, but you still get a very specific image in mind if I say something is "very 80's" don't you? Same goes for anime. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is extremely anime.

asecondduck posted:I'm starting to get really sucked in to Monster Hunter Generations U. Prowler mode is awesome, but a quick question... what the gently caress do I do with all these items I'm gathering? My cats can't use them, and while I could sell them for money I have fucktons of money from simply completing quests.  vIt's true that prowler mode sorta breaks the main loop of the game. Typically you're supposed to fight monsters to get materials to make better equipment to fight stronger monsters to get better materials to... you get the deal. If you're just gonna spend the entire game as a cat and never play as a hunter then I guess you could sell the materials for money, but I'd keep them just in case. Motto posted:Z1 is kinda hard but mostly because the movement and sword combat is kind of rear end compared to LttP-onwards. I think Zelda 1 is an amazing game but let's be real, the difficulty almost entirely comes from how clunky it controls and how many of the puzzles/secrets are straight up trial and error.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:I love Zelda 2 and it might be my favourite NES game, but I think the 'it's too hard' complaint comes from it not telling you specifically where to go next, so a lot of people go the wrong way, thus making the game super hard. So... it really is the Dark Souls of Zelda games

FastestGunAlive posted:You just stay seated at a bonfire if you want to walk away and not worry about getting invaded (pvp) in dark souls. Or if not connected to the internet just stand wherever you are, provided there are not enemies in sight. It’s ok. If you are in the middle of combat then... well that's just Dark Souls It's a conscious decision to not let players pause during combat (look at stuff like Skyrim or BotW for why you'd want to avoid that) but also kind of a technical limitation because of the online aspect. With how multiplayer works in Dark Souls, pausing simply wouldn't work. You could always get good at save&quitting though, it'll put you back exactly where you were (or in the case of boss battles, outside the boss arena).

Well this is a nice sewer, I think I'll stop here and take a rest. I'm sure the croaking in the distance is just some swamp gas!  (Curse in DS1 is some bullshit though)Weedle posted:So it is “you’re safe if there are no enemies around” or “you are never safe?” This thread says both.

I heard that sometimes you can can walk forward and not take damage but also that's not always the case and sometimes you fall off a cliff and take falling damage? Which is it?
