Endorph posted:the recent tomb raider game had an option to have all the dialogue in the local languages only lara refused to stop speaking english so she just came across as the most obnoxious tourist ever because she clearly understood what they were saying but refused to speak back to them in their language That sounds great

I didn't have any particular problems with Bloodborne's early game. I did proceed to die to all the easy bosses afterwards for no goddamn reason though

WoodrowSkillson posted:Thinking From games are perfect when they are littered with problems and dumb choices and often straight up laziness is hilarious. Enemy attacks clip through walls horrifically, armor and weapons have huge clipping issues, they don't animate NPCs at all to "save money" which made sense for like, maybe ds1. They reuse weapon movesets to lamely increase variety, mechanics are hidden from the player and sometimes literally don't work, ability scaling and gemming is horrendously overcomplicated and often confusing, etc etc That's because Bloodborne is perfect

Gumbel2Gumbel posted:Blood vials aren't rare they shower you in them except for the first fifth of the game. They are rare for the exact person who needs them the most: a person who isn't very good at the game and therefore takes a lot of hits and dies a lot. It's an unnecessary punishment for people who are already struggling Andrast fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Mar 19, 2019 |

Expect My Mom posted:I stop reading every time someone here says "none of these games are really like that hard" like motherfucker you've played five of these games I don't think the base content of Demon's, DS1 or DS2 were that bad, just decently challenging. They upped the difficulty significantly with DLC though, especially with DS3 and Bloodborne.

DLC Inc posted:so many of the written reviews I've read say poo poo like "im terrible at this game" which makes me think they didn't even get that far and are just following the same credo as others do whenever a Naughty Dog/Fromsoft/Zelda game comes out, just assign it a 9 and call it a day, probably gonna wait for a Giant Bomb postgame takes since the guy who plays these actually seems like he'd know about the intricacies of what makes it different. Please don't expect a nuanced, informative takes about souls games on Giant bomb, you will be disappointed

Basebf555 posted:Not to me, if you stay blissfully ignorant then what does it matter? Not launching at all hasn't been a problem in a long long time unless your PC is ancient. What is an issue is that some games just run less than ideally on less powerful setups, which is also something that is increasingly often becoming a problem with modern consoles.

s.i.r.e. posted:I'm curious as to what you think were better. Well, I found an old GOTY list of mine for 2017 and it was 1. Hollow Knight 2. Breath of the Wild 3. Divinity Original Sin 2 4. Super Mario Odyssey 5. Nier Automata 6. Tales of Berseria 7. Prey 8. Nioh 9. Evil Within 2 10. Persona 5 I think I'd change some if I thought about it more now but that's what it was.

Gumbel2Gumbel posted:no. I'm guessing my experience isn't rare either. You spend a couple of hours fighting and somehow get 15 seconds of vague exposition from an unanimated NPC. It's bad storytelling. I'll take that style of storytelling in games any day over the traditional style. And I like normal cutscene stuff too! I guess it's just not for you

Hentai Jihadist posted:im really liking it so far, the bosses are extremely hard but they are way faster to kill if you just focus on the stagger bar and don't let up. Most of my bad attempts ill take 5 mins to die then on my good attempts I trash the boss in a minute. Yeah I really like how aggressive you can be in this game when you get it

Do I have to go through Sunken Valley to get into the castle or am I missing something? The area over the broken bridge is the first area. That's why you had to take the scenic route with the snake.

Your Computer posted:has anyone here defeated O''rin of the Water? Yeah it's pretty much just parrying and dodging the sweep. She is really predictable so it's easier than it looks. I think you might also be able to use divine confetti to do more damage to her as she is a ghost but I'm not sure since I didn't try.

Bardeh posted:Feeling discouraged. Currently have two obvious paths that I can see. Drunken guy and general guy after the ogre. Both surrounded by tons of mooks you need to kill before engaging them. It's wearing on me to spend 10 minutes grinding out mooks for a proper try on the bosses. The drunken guy in particular, even if I run across the rooftops to get to him to skip all those mobs, I still need to lure out those three at the front, lure out boss, kill other three, wait for boss to go back, stealth attack, then fight. I had him down to 1 hit and then died, I was so loving mad. I should have got him, but I was playing too cautious. Guess I'll try again tomorrow, I'm fed up of it for tonight. Give me Souls styles fog doors over this poo poo any day. The general guy(and other guys like him) is an optional sub-boss so you can just go past him if you feel stuck. They do give items that permanently increase your max health and posture so killing them is recommended.

s.i.r.e. posted:What do you do against the Corrupted Monk? His pose goes down SO loving fast I've never be close to filling up the bar. Also the Mikiri Counter and Jump off the enemy counter for sweep attacks don't do poo poo for breaking his pose eve though they're supposed to right? I have this guy's moves pretty much down pat and the fight isn't hard but I literally just can't attack him enough. Enemies with lower health recover posture slower so it's just a matter of damaging him more. He's going to take a while if you aren't confident in your parrying/dodging.

s.i.r.e. posted:He recovers it faster than anything I've ever faced in the game at this point. But the time I've done a bit of damage, depending on what his actions are that damage is reset by the time I can pile on more. I mean vitality/red health damage. If an enemy has lower vitality they recover posture slower (and so do you). Get his red health down more and you should start having no problem piling on more posture damage once he is low enough.

Sweeps are the loving bane of my existence. Pressing the dodge button (or at least blocking) has been my muscle memory for so long that I always get hit by these.

Omi no Kami posted:Would you enjoy dark souls 3 if parry was your only attack and most enemies were capable of 1- or 2-shotting you? If yes, judging by most people's reactions it'll probably be one of your contenders for GOTY. Eh, I never liked parrying in DS/Bloodborne but comes to me much easier in this game. Block and parry being the same button helps a lot since it doesn't punish as hard.

Stokes posted:I really don't like that they tie mechanical arm use to a consumable that you can run out of. Oops I died and have zero spirit things better buy some more. Oh I don't have enough sen I better go grind. It's loving dumb. When are you ever not going to go into battle without the maximum amount of tool uses? You could just continue without the tool a bit and then use the money to buy more when you get to the next idol. Using less tools for a bit isn't that big of a deal. (I agree that it's a bit dumb)
