Kongming posted:One thing I liked about Sekiro over the other From games is no Stamina, so I'm wondering if that's back in Elden Ring. They didn't show any UI. No stamina worked great in Sekiro but I think it's an important balancing tool in a game where you have tons of different equipment and weapons and movesets. I'd be surprised if it didn't exist in Elden Ring but I wouldn't mind a more generous stamina system like Bloodborne's

So there is stamina but it only depletes in combat, so you can sprint and jump around as much as you want while traveling. That's pretty cool

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-jolly-cooperation-of-localising-dark-souls This is a cool read. I didn't realize that basically one guy has done all the english localization for everything from Demon's Souls to Elden Ring. There are also several examples where he'd come up with the english phrasing for something and then Miyazaki would go back and change the Japanese script to match

Dutchy posted:Not to be too personal but last fall my dad got a foot amputated and he lives in a deeply rural part of Texas where even the disability & welfare offices and stuff often don't have wheelchair ramps, those handicap buttons to open doors, etc and it's insane to spend 3-4 months talking to him about this and all the various mundane ways he could and occasionally does eat poo poo, and then reflect on years of various Chief Editors of Accessibility and Criminal Erotica complaining about lack of quest markers, intentional static difficulty curves, digital spiders, and being asked if Spelunky 2 is good even though you're working from home during a freaking pandemic, like it's in any way on the same continuum. Not to be too personal but my father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I suggest you try it.

Even the trash enemies like the little imps have really fun movesets with lots of dodges and fakeouts. I feel like just basic combat swinging a sword around is the most fun it's ever been, you still have to commit but the extra mobility over dark souls feels awesome. Can't wait to get invaded

Still haven't found the chest everyone's talking about but I found a different early game teleport to way off on the very edge of the map and it's terrifying out here lol. The Nightmare in Bloodborne never really clicked for me but this feels like what they were going for trying to create an alien hostile environment.

herculon posted:Maybe I’m missing something, but horseback combat does feel a bit weak. I’m at a loss on how to effectively fight other enemies also riding horses. Maybe a weapon other than an axe is better I got the opposite impression lol. I've managed to kill a few things I probably shouldn't be able to just because of how hard you are to hit, it feels a little OP. You can use bows, spells, and throwing items on the horse too

I think Margit is absolutely the toughest early game boss any of these games have ever had lol. It's pretty cool design, you get comfortable following the main path and then get railroaded into a hard rear end fight just to give you the message that you absolutely can go do something else instead

Lunchmeat Larry posted:Think I might be a strength/faith kind of guy this time. Less than two hours. Admittedly haven't put any points into faith yet but I think that's where I'm gonna wind up too; all the pyromancy stuff getting rolled into faith in this game kind of sealed the deal for me. Also haven't found an implement for casting INT spells after hours in the game lol.

mbt posted:The spectral sword sorcery is insane. This poo poo does so much damage. Does enchanting a weapon with that sorcery make it deal damage based on int as well? Yeah I got the holy enchantment and it's great, it just slaps like an extra 70 damage on my sword. I am absolutely tearing through stuff now, I feel really powerful.

Daikatana Ritsu posted:what does this icon mean dude It means you can use spirit summoning (not co-op but actual summons) in the current area. Some places it's disabled edit: some of the other little icons that appear below the HP bar are real stumpers though, I swear there used to be a way to get tooltips on them in the status menu but it doesn't seem you can anymore. I know the red square with the down arrow is a max HP debuff you get from letting a lady hug you and it doesn't go away until you use the item she gave you

EmmyOk posted:Lol If you're using a bow or crossbow it's a really nice feature, makes it easy to stock up on elemental/status effect arrows. Honestly one of the few things I don't like about this game is the d-pad item bar system, I didn't mind it in Souls but now consumables are really fun and plentiful and it's a pain to switch between a bunch of them
