must... not... post... about... cops.... in... james.... thread... Anyone know a good, but cheap, gaming monitor? I'm eating input lag in the 20-60ms range due to old, low refresh rate monitors and it bothers me. The only things that matter to me are low input lag and high refresh rate. Colors and 4k can take a walk.

I gave dark souls remastered or whatever another shot. it's engaging, and can be rewarding, but is mostly a gigantic pain in the rear end.

Weedle posted:is there anything in particular that’s giving you trouble just another time when I'm stuck on a boss that kills me in a few seconds (capra demon). I know it's supposed to be a hard encounter - the room is very small and there are two dogs as well - but stuff like that makes a lot of warts in the game stand out. You have to run along the same unnecessarily long corridors fighting the same mooks in the same way each time you want to fight the boss only to be killed in seconds without touching it because a roll went funny or you mis-timed an attack. Even leveling once or twice or getting a somewhat better gear wouldn't really help because of the magnitude of damage. It's the sort of thing where I sunk an hour into trying today and most of that was spend killing the same few mobs and walking down this one corridor. I managed to bring it down to half health one time, but then it was back to <20s, ~10s, <1 min, 5s, etc

capra demon is a real bastard on your first run. if you can avoid the first attack and get up the stairs you can kill the dogs and then it's way easier. what level are you?

yeah if you can kill the dogs the easiest/most tedious way to kill him is to let him follow you up the stairs, then jump off the ledge, then hit him once or twice when he jumps off after you and does a recover animation. repeat until dead

I started Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen expecting a simple open-world ARPG to run around and chop monsters; while you can play it like that it seems more balanced to a player who wants to tinker with the shitload of subsurface mechanics for the main character vocations, your follower / pawn setups and all the gear and alchemy tinkering. I made the mistake of reading some of the wiki stuff and honestly it's put me off a bit that I'm not interested in sinking so much effort in to play the way it's meant to be played.

I think I'm level 27 and playing a knight. you guys are absolutely right about the general strat - I need to just dodge the initial murder swipes, go up the stairs, kill the dogs when they follow me, and then just not suck and kill the demon. that's what I did when I got him to half health. I just keep loving up one of those things Bored Online posted:just throw doodoo over the archway if its gonna get you all riled up i actually tried this! I apparently wasn't hitting him, though - I went through a stack of 20 poops with no result

one thing to keep in mind with dark souls, you'll see this if you watch speedrun videos, is that you don't have to kill or even engage with all the enemies on the way to the boss. like if you are just running back to fight capra for the umpteenth time, now that you know the route, there is usually a way that you can run through all the enemies and get to the fog door before they catch up. also capra is technically optional

The fights on the way to Capra are there to teach you some lessons and Capra himself is the examiner who checks to see if you've learned them. Take control of your positioning and the terms of the engagement basically. Don't allow yourself to be engaged right at the door on his terms, rush past up the stairs and engage him on yours.
