At least this has commentary where they talk about just how precise it has to be. Otherwise it just looks like dodging rain drops for 30 minutes straight.

Can you get the SotC trophy for beating the game in under 5:40 on Hard in NG+ or does it have to be a fresh save?

Kilometers Davis posted:Aw man I forgot how tense and spooky Bloodborne is. The first boss music nearly drives me to a heart attack. The "poo poo just got real part" where it cuts out for a second and then gets really fast is so good. In general them recording the Bloodborne soundtrack with an actual orchestra and choir really pays off. I like FromSoftware's music A LOT, like I listen to King's Field music and stuff even, but you can really feel the difference if you go directly from Bloodborne to any of the other ones. BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Vials own and estus sucks dick.  Whatever game FromSoftware does next they should call the game's healing item estus lask and in all the footage/etc. make it look like it behaves how it does in Dark Souls but then in the actual game it's an item you gotta buy and they can just be like "Estus is working as intended."

Finally playing SOTC. I cannot believe I used to be good at this game when I was, like, 15. It took me an hour to take down the first two colossi (I forgot where they were and the 2nd one took me an embarrassingly long time to kill). Having said that, I love this remaster, I love the updated controls (though they have taken some getting used to), I’m really enjoying this a lot.

It’s easy to rush through with the special weapons and upgraded stamina. Note that time attack will always give you default stats, so you’ll have to earn those weapons the hard way. If you want the weapons trophy, finish all the normal time attacks and get the weapons, then start NG+ from that file and do the hard time attacks. You don’t need to wait to pick them up at once or anything like some people think.

If there was a version of MH where fights took five minutes instead of twenty-five I could see myself playing it for a million hours but as it is it takes far too long to grind up the poo poo you want. I'll play til I hit credits then stop same as usual probably.

I'm sorry, I just hate that lovely mechanic and it's just another reason why Bloodborne is the best entry in the Bloodsouls series, which is (estus or no) pretty much the best videogame series around.

High-Rank armor, decorations, gems/jewels, skills and set bonuses, charms/mantles, etc. The game is so much more fun in my own humble when you start amassing passive skillsets by the dozens that either buff your basic combat abilities or debuff the enemies.

I'm not much into modern Tomb Raider, and I thought Legend was merely okay...but what Crystal Dynamics did with Tomb Raider Anniversary was amazing, and it's up there with the recent SotC in terms of quality remakes. Too bad it came out between console gens.

Honestly the ultimate system would just be “Blood Vials but you always spawn with at least 5 “Estus” vials” I like Blood Vials more than Estus because it empowers you to go on longer stretches in a row without stopping if you’re in a densely packed zone with mobs that drop lots of them. Blood Vials make sense as a mechanic and in game lore, Estus doesn’t really. What does the +1 represent, Estus with cane sugar instead of corn syrup?

I'm just very confused as to how blood vials, which become functionally identical to estus a short ways into the game once you have a stock pile of them handy, are good while Estus is poo poo  it's the same drat thing except blood vials suck because they screw over new players when they are starting the game and some people get put off by farming them. It's such a bizarre thing to favor because the distinction is so trivial.I like how Souls and BB do health management, some people might not. But liking one and not the other doesn't even make any sense. Estus was one of the coolest additions I've seen in a game after farming grass in Demons. It's a very clever approach to Heath management. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 02:22 on Feb 19, 2018 |

I like MHW health management  veni veni veni posted:You played a game for 200 hours in 3 weeks? Yep, 7-8 hours a day average for 26 days, would love to be healthy enough to have worked eight hours a day instead of playing the GOTY but at least I'm not this guy on reddit who platinumed the thing with 352 hours on the clock. He cannot be in good shape after that.

Both have their place but vials are way better for the kind of pacing and story and world that Bloodborne is.

I guess I like the faster usage and obviously blood bullets are cool. If someone says they like blood vials I immediately assume they meant they like farming them for some crazy reason. The distinction between them and Estus has always felt so trivial to me other than the farming/buying which was just a flat out bad idea imo.

It owns because you have to constantly make the call of do you want to heal yourself or do you want set up more damage/some special effect. Estus flasks are great too but the concept isn't anything new, and plenty of dungeon crawlers have used the idea as an abstraction for the extra steps of finding shops in the middle of a dungeon to buy new stuff at.

Wildlands is the most extreme example I've seen Of how skilled Ubisoft has become at actually crafting open worlds and how much they refuse to put anything interesting in it. It just looks and plays so wonderfully but everything feels like a rote icon hunt. Like, if they were just willing to say gently caress it and burn their formula to the ground they could be making some of the best games around.

Snore. Vials, on the other hand, reinforce BB's theme and gameplay perfectly every step of the way, and I absolutely prefer them. Vials are good and estus is bad. MHW has the best of both worlds in this regard, because you can craft your own but also are given free provisions of lesser quality at the start of every mission that can only be used on that mission. I like systems that emphasize scarcity on some level.

Personally I think those fan names are stupid and I always have to look up which colossus people are referring to. I always just say "colossus [number]" and I wish everyone else did too. The colossi don't even have official names. They're nameless.
