Is there supposed to be really finnicky double jumps where sometimes you just dont get a second jump for no reason or is it just the ps4 version?

Made the game really frustrating but its still fun.

Weird. Not a controller issue i tried it on several. Its like theres a certain point in the jump arc where it just wont read a double jump input for me occasionally.

By the way, you guys should play Pit People when it comes out. It's by the same studio that made Castle Crashers, Battleblock Theater etc. and it is pretty funny.

Obviously wait for it to exist Early Access if you're so inclined to not play Early Access games.

The double jump kinda works like Return of Shinobi where you have to have to press it again at the top of your jump arc or it doesn't work, you can't 'store' the second jump for extra distance or whatever so sometimes it feels like it's eating the input

It's a great game, but my theory about all the horrible poo poo that happened to Hallownest is that it was actually punishment for the way the King built his awful, awful house.

Just equip hiveblood so you never die and it becomes waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less frustrating. It's one of my favorite areas personally and I can't wait to do it on a good framerate once the switch version hits because my laptop could just barely handle that game..

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I'm torn on Absolver because I like martial arts and I like action RPGs with emergent stories but I don't know how satisfying the single-player is going to be, or if it's going to be a glorified arena for PVP. I feel like there's a lot of things that would kill Absolver dead and those include being able to cheese moves to win any fight and not having much for a single player to do.

On that note, I watched some PVP videos and one involved two guys favoring the two front stances and throwing the same punch-kick combo over and over and it felt like a giant waste of the system.

I've kind of faded on Absolver the more I've seen of it. Every punch has that same muted impact sound and all the streams I've seen of the game appear juddery and chaotic. To me it seems to lack the sense of momentum that makes For Honor so satisfying in its best moments. The single-player also seems to be nonexistent, everyone describes it as Journey except you find the occasional dude to punch.

Nooooooooooo

Hiveblood is poo poo. It gives you infinite tries but you have to wait forever for it to activate. Use the charm that gives you double healing and the one that gives you magic juice for getting hit. This isn't quite infinite but it gives you dozens of tries before it runs low and it's a million times less aggravating.

As long as it's clear where you need to go, that alone should make it a million times better.

I was going to say, waiting for Hiveblood every single time would wind up taking even longer than dying and having to do a shade run from the other side of the world.

I dunno I did it with hiveblood and still finished faster than a lot of the times I've seen people post. I think taking a few seconds between attempts to think about what you need to do is helpful.

I used Hiveblood as well but I also didn't find the double heal charm until cleanup at the very end of the game so idk. It worked pretty well with the grub badge to keep me topped off.

I know it's long past being relevant at this point, but the death of the Half-Life series makes me sad. HL2 was the game that got me into games, and I still run through it once in a while today. I even got familiar with some of the editing tools. Sucks that it's gone.

Every bit of actual advertising I see for Absolver seems to just focus on the PVP aspects. Maybe that's inaccurate but don't go in expecting a rich single player experience.
