I hope there's a really hard optional enemy in the starting area. I will spend 2 hours killing it, and hopefully be rewarded with something shiny.

They should add a Quest Log starting item that's just a wooden log that does nothing.

Ended up wandering around Siofra River presumably way earlier than I should have. Freakin' awesome area, I love how rewarding it is to sneak around and get places you feel like you're not supposed to. Getting some real Ico + Shadow of the Colossus vibes from the insane scale of some of the architecture and how awesome it feels just to traverse some of the areas, even when you don't find any amazing item or whatever.

lol I cheesed the gently caress out of some real hard fights by knocking 3 consecutive red phantom NPCs off cliffs (the Great Jar Knight dudes, you gotta kill them all in one go), dunno if anyone cares about item stuff getting spoiled by I got a +10 max equip load talisman as a reward, seems insanely useful

Kongming posted:Bosses also seem to aggressively attempt to punish healing attempts in this game compared to what I remember from previous souls games. You usually need to wait for them to be in recovery from an attack or have considerable distance before you try to drink. They don’t seem to care as much if you’re refilling mana, though.

There's an area in some catacomb where you get ambushed by two giant crabs in an extremely small area, and I stubbornly decided I could kill them even though it seemed completely unnecessary. Managed to get myself squirreled in a "safe" corner and tricked the crabs into killing each other, and it is one of my proudest moments in this game even though it had no particular reward or anything

I'm losing my mind, this game is incredible. I've found two of the "legendary armaments" weapons and they're making me start dreaming of epic respecs... I mean I'm playing this game way too loving much, as many of us are, and it just has not had a dull 10 minutes. I'm over 40 hours in and about the worst I can say is that the map feels kinda clunky and sometimes (not very often) the difference between a safe jump and a deadly jump still feels kinda janky. Those are basically my only complaints.

goferchan posted:If you're talking vertical drops don't forget you can drop rainbow stones off a cliff to judge safe falls. If it breaks when it hits the ground it's an instant death. But otherwise yeah lol there have been a few horizontal jumps where it's been easy to misjudge distance This is an extremely minor nitpick but so far it's literally in my top two complaints about the game because I just, don't really have any others. e: oh also there was a platform that's supposed to break when you land on it in Stormveil Castle, and it didn't the first time I found that area and the whole sequence of mishaps led to one of my only losses of a big pile of runes. That's probably actually why I got butthurt about jumps lol Martman fucked around with this message at 15:36 on Feb 28, 2022 |

From that New Yorker interview:quote:For Miyazaki, video-game death is an opportunity to create a memory, or a punch line. “When I’m playing these games, I think, This is the way I’d want to die—in a way that is amusing or interesting, or that creates a story I can share,” he said. “Death and rebirth, trying and overcoming—we want that cycle to be enjoyable. In life, death is a horrible thing. In play, it can be something else.”

So far I have absolutely zero qualms with using summons and everything to go to town on bosses. There are some really insanely hard areas where you can't spirit summon and I'm drat sure not gonna worry about being honorable once they finally let me summon mah boi Oleg for a boss

Got Radahn down, and you better believe I summoned the NPCs like 15 times. Then accidentally killed a friendly NPC for the first time... That's what I get for marauding recklessly. I hope Gowry comes back, he said we'd meet again and didn't seem too concerned about dying.

About 50 hours in, I encountered the first boss that legit took me two hours to beat. I had kinda hit a wall and wasn't sure where else to go, and suddenly they threw in a boss that could one-shot me even with what I thought was a buttload of max HP, no horsey, and a second dude shows up at 50% HP. I was starting to wonder about the game's difficulty curve but now I feel like I've only scratched the surface.

Hoo boy, bashing my head against the twin gargoyle assholes opened up an insane amount of areas and the game started dumping free stuff on me. Suddenly I have a fully upgraded super badass fighter duo spirit and was able to wreck the double crucible knight fight.

I have no idea how much more game there is, but I have 4 great runes. I'm kind of overwhelmed and stunned, I keep going through cycles of feeling overpowered and then the game manages to throw some new wild poo poo at me, and I'm like level 110 or something.

Holy poo poo I feel stupid, I managed to get 76 hours in having missed the Flask of Wondrous Physick. I think an early NPC even mentions that you should go find it? But I was really drunk the day of release and probably just kinda forgot about it expecting I'd run into it soon, and managed to avoid ever checking that part of Mistwood. I kept thinking like "drat I wonder when I'm gonna unlock this mixing stuff, I keep getting new crystal tears" and I literally got like 15 of them before cutting my losses and looking up what I was missing.

Oh re: the chariots, also having my mind blown about the first one. But I'm separately confused about the one in the crypt right outside the capital, Auriza Hero's grave I think? It's the one that ends in the double crucible knight fight. I somehow killed all the chariots there, and I assume it had to do with something I hit, but I died as they seemed to get completely exploded so I am just curious if anyone can explain what actually happened. And it gave me all the tree sentinel armor I think?? Like all three of them died and never came back lol, I guess each crypt must have a way to do it.
