Pulcinella posted:Disappointed that Bluepoint is not restoring the broken archstone or fixing world tendency. The game sets up new players to screw the selves over with WT. It goes down when you die in human form. So new players will beat a boss, get their body back, and die soon after, lowering it. Once you’ve beaten all the bosses in world there was no way to raise it without going into NG+ or going online for a holiday server event. The game isn't that much harder pure black than what you'd normally be at (some variation of dark grey). Tbh I'm pretty sure that's part of the metalore. Aka difficulty doesn't matter bc its all hard umbasa

haveblue posted:It's not so much about difficulty as about the items and encounters that are locked to tendency levels. It was a bad decision to do that with something the player has no direct control over and there's a reason none of the later games repeated it. I'm reading this as "hiding special items and events behind playing well is actually bad". TLDR: Demons Souls is perfect and how dare you criticize anything about that game ever hahaha

Ethiser posted:If anything it’s "hiding special items and events behind other people playing well or poorly is actually bad" Yeah, I guess you could have your tendency dropped by a massive amount of other people playing poorly, but also you could do one coop mission and rank up. Or you can villain it up for one and rank down. But, yeah, I suppose you can do stupid things like kill yourself to cheese the system or just avoid the system altogether so some people will inevitably call the whole thing dumb.

The problem with the nudemons souls aesthetic is that it's a graphical showcase for a game that leaned on art direction. Like, the original is some beautiful haunting accoustic set and this one is like some exec hired a popstar to make an hyper-produced remake to sell consoles. I initially had overproduced but I still have hope that marketing from 2 weeks before launch isnt final. At least, it's still mostly going to play the same and it's also going to be fascinating to see the end product, and DS as it was (online and community) is dead, so... This'll still be interesting. Just not the same.

While you're not wrong you also have an avatar from a game whose art was praised for faithfully recreating a century old animation style so Art is art and we won't have an easily accessible unbiased look till the game has been out for any kind of appreciable time. For reference its about 20 or so years before pixel/lowpoly/etc to hit their strides. Will we ever get a PS2/3 renaissance? Heh. Edit: it's very, very subjective if the art "faithfully recreates Boletaria" or not. I don't think so, and I could go into the fine details, but... Well it's probably not worth the time unless specifically asked

re: Godfall It looks like Melee Destiny which is 100,000% a game I've wanted for longer than Destiny was even a thing. Will it actually pan out? IDK. But I'm hopeful.

Idk why but I am super annoyed by the trolls coming in here complaining about the lack QoL improvements that I have literally never even considered. I just want a console that isn't a beefed up PlayStation 2 for once. Can we just get that? It's been like twenty years.

So you guys are saying that Sony and their bullshit PS5 is loving over all of the millions of owners of 4K TVs that downgrade 4K120 to 1440p120?? What are they going to do with all of the, uh, ZERO PS5 games that render to 4K120? loving gently caress poo poo gently caress Edit: lol, JK, there's one game and my god what a loving piece of poo poo I am. I forgot Monster Boy somehow renders to 4K and does 120hz which is actually kinda cool. Double edit: If you couldn't tell this whole post is a joke anothergod fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Nov 10, 2020 |

If you're having a hard time in Demon's make sure to pump HP and level up your main weapon. Don't go for damage stats until you think you've got enough survivability.

Bust Rodd posted:The Switch was impossible to find for like 6 months THIS YEAR and it came out 3 years ago. I don’t think we’ll ever understand how hard COVID impacted production for this generation, but it could be pretty far reaching how hard COVID impacted *demand* It took me 3 years to even consider getting a PS4, and I was salivating for the PS5 8 months before release

Actually, AFAIK, the Sony has sold more PS5s since release 2 months ago (to the day!) during this pandemic than it sold during the same since-launch time period for the PS4. Not only are people *loving gaming*, but also whatever Sony is doing is better than it did the last console cycle. I did find one article from Hypebeast talking about "decreased unit production" for the course of the next year or something, but like, with a website like Hypebeast I can't help but think they're benefiting from fabricated scarcity lol.
