I generally do a brief google or something when I start a game with multiple difficulty settings. I generally like harder games but not if the difficulty settings are terribly made (which is not uncommon).

Yeah that's where I ended up mostly, I can see why people love it but it wasn't a thing that was going to make me go wild for it.

I definitely agree that being an ubisoft-style open world game makes it much worse than it could have been

Open worlds have only been the main AAA genre since 2014 or so, there's still juice in it yet. Expect everyone to switch to oh let's say deckbuilders in 2025

sounds like a much better trend

There's shallow and then there's "half the selectable skills in the game do not work as intended or at all."

Together with tim rogers breaking the game two other different ways it sounds like 2077's combat falls apart the second you specialize into anything even mildly effective

It does

personally i thought it broke down in a pretty fun way and i was entertained the whole way through

stardew has way more busy work, including the social mechanics which are way more of a pain in the rear end than dealing with people in, most hms, hard to generalize there because every hm is totally different, it is better than a lot of them. and just about every choice stardew makes re mechanics on the farm are imo bad, the stamina mechanic, leveling, the crafting and building, etc. stardew is a game i dread to start over because the beginning is so bad where a lot of hms you are practically done with the game before stardew gets to The Good Part

you should play a rune factory, however

Blood vials are terrible because they make the game tedious for the exact people who need them the most because those people are the same people who will run out of them

exquisite tea posted:

You run out of estus flasks: You die I guess, or have to run back to the last bonfire.

You run out of blood vials: You can run back to the last bonfire, AND you can also fight on and pick up more.

more realistically: a person will run out of them while fighting Orphan of Kos or something and has to go grind more instead of trying to do a fun boss fight (or just never play again)

Looper posted:

if you're tilting at a boss enough to run out of vials then you'd almost certainly benefit from taking a break anyway but everybody chafes at being forced to do so

and then after the break you have to grind blood vials before trying the boss again!

never had to grind for blood vials lmao

That's why the blood vials are bad! They do nothing except make the game more tedious for the people who already have trouble with it.

anyway the best take on estus was ds2 starting you with 1 charge.

it was good yeah

the lifegems were maybe a bit dumb though since you had basically infinite healing after the very start because of them

Andrast
Apr 21, 2010


Dark souls 1 estus system but only 10 estus max ever would be the sweet spot imo

maybe add in slowly gaining the estus max with shards like ds2 too
