bloodborne's bosses were very good solo, but dark souls 3's were a loving nightmare here's to hoping sekiro's mobility options will put it closer to the former

my biggest problem with dark souls 3's bosses is that so few of them would just stay dead everyone had a second phase or a second wind or an entire new lifebar and it only got worse the further you went into the game. couple that with the common gameplay complaint of the enemies having bloodborne-level mobility while you were the same clanky armored schmuck as always and they just became a chore otoh Laurence the First Vicar made my blood pressure spike to "right wing radio personality" levels so you take the good and take the bad

Cowcaster posted:it's a random chance not to lose your money and experience when you die. it goes down when you die because from software likes to have gradually accruing penalties for dying repeatedly. to be clearer, it only goes down if you keep resurrecting yourself. skip the rez and just die outright and it won't decrease

Arist posted:Am I expected to be able to defeat Juzo as soon as I unlock Hirata Estate? Dude kills me in two hits and while I can take advantage of the helper dude I still can't get even a single deathblow on him. i rushed him down and used the axe to flinch him whenever i could, but even after gobbling down all my pills and candy i barely scraped by doesn't seem to be much of a strategy to him beyond stabbing him in the butt and watching out for his counter-sweeps

the stealth also seems inconsistent to the point of being half baked at times, though it’s usually in the player’s favor so I can’t grouse about it too much

also (ashido castle gate boss) the Bull was a tremendous pain in the rear end but totally worth it for the guards poking their heads in afterward "whew sounds like it finally calmed down" "...why's the ninja still here  ""...WHERE'S THE BULL  "

one legit criticism at least is that the stealth really is busted, enemies' reaction to different stimuli is completely out of whack one notable example is the big staircase just past ashina castle's gates, where a general is waiting up top with his entourage. you can stand at the bottom of the stairs and pick off all the mooks with the shuriken and then stealth-stab the general without any of them ever entering alert status Oxxidation fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Mar 24, 2019 |

Unlucky7 posted:I do die. Then I run back. That is what I am saying. i was playing it over-cautious for a while too (and the shinobi hunter is a serious stumbling point) but it doesn't take long before you're kitted up enough to justify using the rez and running back into the fray, a few more gourd seeds and prayer beads really increase your survivability don't stress out over the dragonrot mechanic and just keep picking away at whichever path seems easier, you'll gradually accumulate upgrades until you're able to keep up with everything

veni veni veni posted:How do you dodge the ogre grab attack? I'm doing training and the guy does the same attack but the step dodge doesn't seem to work at all. I can dodge it sometimes if I totally gtfo of the way but then theres no real room for a counter. step-dodging directly backwards seems to be the trick for most grabs, thought i was still able to i-frame through most of the ogre's (and it was really loving cool when he threw me off the cliff and i grappled onto his neckbrace and got right back into his face)

Fargin Icehole posted:Got a question. I just got the snap seed, i haven't entered the room. If i gently caress up, where do i get another? they're scattered around like any other item, i had about half a dozen they're also not really necessary to the fight, the "illusions" are generic summoned mobs that go down in one hit and are dismissed after a little while anyway. the seed just creates an AOE attack that kills them all

Ciaphas posted:I'm feeling pretty convinced, that parry/posture/deathblow system sounds like the kind of thing I would enjoy the stealth is really inconsistent - enemies don't react to dead bodies and barely seem to notice sounds but can see you from half a kilometer away, and it's very difficult to successfully stealth-kill more than one enemy at a time because the animation takes you out of stealth long enough to get spotted the death/resurrection mechanics are also super loving stressful because they have larger effects on the entire game world that people still don't fully understand, which is only made worse by the brutal difficulty

Shima Honnou posted:The fact that essentially any non-animal enemy can and will block your attacks pretty effectively and you have to more or less rely on stance-breaking in combat is what convinced me that it is not meant to be played like a Souls game, it's way more its own thing than most people may think at first. If anything, Nioh is the Souls game despite not being by From and this is more Tenchu. it's very utilitarian, every killshot either goes for the throat or the heart, which on one hand is an effective reflection of how the main character fights but on the other let me chop pieces off my guys From, i loved decapitating dudes in tenchu

Omi no Kami posted:What, exactly, is the intended timing for deflections? Am I supposed to hit LB the instant the attack lands? Is there a startup with the parry window several frames inside of it? I've poured hours into this thing and it still feels clunky and frustrating to me. seems to be the standard "block right before the attack lands" and the timing is pretty generous compared to, say, DMC's Royal Guard
