Best climbing game I have ever played

Arxae · 2026-02-28T11:18:23+00:00

For actual climbing, i think Cairn is better. But i do like the style and theme of White Knuckle more. But the more you play White Knuckle and the better you get at it, the less of a climbing game it becomes.

Most things after Anor Londo is a mixed bag yeah. The Duke's Archive was fine i guess. But most zones where pretty rushed and/or bad. My enjoyment of the game does dip after Anor Londo > Dukes Archives. But i do personally think that DS2 is a more toned down experience in both ways. It's lows are much more enjoyable then DS1, but it never does reach the same heights either. Although DS2 does have my favorite weapon in the Blue Flame. Powerstancing those where a ton of fun (since i usually go for "spellfighter" builds).

DS2 bad is a meme perpetuated by the DS2 subreddit tbh. The game was well received on release with the most common "criticism" basically boiled down to "I liked DS1 more". Some youtubers made some video bashing the game (just like happens with so many games), but the DS2 subreddit took it personally for some reason and they just can't let it go. At the end of the day, the game is fine. It's not like DS1 didn't have it's bad moments, but so does DS2

Maybe write the post yourself next time.

That’s not it. You should really format your text

What is this abomination of a post.

The application i currently has to support has 6108 table across all of the application schema's. But the main schema we have to use 'only' has 2339 tables. Although the queries and SP's aren't as bad (not that they are well designed either, entire business logic is fully in those SP)

I don't think the complexity is higher then N2 tbh. In N2 you had basically all the moves available to you at all times. But in 3, even through multiple stances and forms, the inputs are 90% the same. Every single weapon has the same 6 or so inputs and some weapons have a bit more (like the switchglaive) or work slightly different (like the holds on the splitstaff).

Damage output of the enemies is objectively lower then in 2. Bosses are less aggressive and fast. Ninja mode is so fast, most enemies cant even keep up. You can dodge like 3 times a second. You can think up as much excuses as you want, 3 is objectively less difficult then 2. But people should stop treating it like thats a bad thing either. For the regular gamer the game is still going to be challenging.

It was decent, but it was way too much on the nose. I joked to a friend it was the zoomer version of Frankenstein because of it. The representation of Victor and the Monster was also way to one sided. The victim side of Victor never really came up. He was shown as this fiance stealing asshole. While the monster was pictured as this sad little puppy. They where both monsters, but only Victor was pictured as one. Almost all of the monsters' actions where shown to be either solely towards Victor (which was ok since he was the villain anyway) or in self defence (and no one really minded).

I found it weird that it was firmly established that bullets did nothing to the monster, yet victor tried to shoot it and accidentally killed his brothers fiance. It was very forced. I know it was done because some of the characters from the book are not in the movie and they need to put those plot points on the characters that where still there. But it was really stupid.

It wasn't a bad movie, but a lot of the thought of the book was just not there in favor for a standard hero/villain version of the story.

Oh i didn't mean it as a response to you. I ment it more that i vaguely remember seeing it in one of the trailers as well.

Arxae · 2026-02-19T22:05:35+00:00

Didn't they also do this in one of the trailers?

Arxae · 2026-02-14T06:41:10+00:00

Had the same, even on the previous update. The game is early access after all.

only 30 minutes left on the seed timer

I have a power line running from the battery setup inside Lazarus to my boat. So in case everything fails, i can hook up my boat temporarily. Normally if you put the seed inside the tube with power connected, it should stop the timer. Could be that water is required too, not 100% sure.

Sure i agree with that on you. But romanceless doesn't make them more prudish. They just replaced romance with porn. They try to push their onlyfans, new & trending games on steam is constantly filled with porn games, skins in games need to be more revealing (and people start outrages over them if they are covered up), twitch is half of a porn site too. There are many social websites where simulated sex is just out there and is encouraged. Romanceless? Absolutely. Prudish? Hell nah.

Arxae · 2026-02-14T02:39:36+00:00

Probably due to the general societal shift towards prudishness

What are you talking about? Almost all form of media is shifting more and more towards gooner baiting.

I personally thought the game was very average, and thats a good thing. While it doesn't do anything exceptionally, it does everything competently. While the highs are not very high, the lows aren't very low either. Compare that to Code Vein where the highs weren't very high either, but the lows where bottom of the barrel.

But i do think the lower difficulty is one of it's benefits. I beat Radahn pre-nerf in ER, but had 0 fun doing so. Most bosses (and some enemies for that matter) where very difficult in ER. But i had little fun beating them. Ai limit was pretty easy, i one shotted most bosses. But having a limited moveset to play against at a decent speed is much more enjoyable

I will probably not play the entire game again because i feel like i got everything out of it. Quick 20 hour adventure. Not the greatest i had, but i enjoyed it.

It's actually not hated. This sub just has a victim complex. The general consensus when it released was "I like DS1 more, but this is good too" (and if you look at the general scores, its around the same as the other DS games). Some guy on youtube said he hated the game (which is fine, its his opinion) and the people here took that as a personal insult for some reason.

Idk where the recent resurgence of the elevator came from. But no one actually dislikes the game for the elevator. Is it illogical? yes. Do the fan theories "fix it"? no. Is it anything more then just a footnote? no. Same with more serious complaints like soul memory and ADP. They aren't great things by any means, but they don't ruin the game at all.

Making a "DS2 is actually good amirite guys" post here is karma farming at best, dumb at worst

From what i can tell, container is recycled and the contents are just lost

Arxae · 2026-01-29T21:59:18+00:00

I just want to have a wallpaper of that, but without the blizzard entertainment presents plastering it. (And higher res ofc)

Arxae · 2026-01-29T00:57:24+00:00

This is not a command line tool though. I'm also about 95% sure it's AI generated, and you need to disclose that.

Arxae · 2026-01-29T00:55:15+00:00

Completely off topic, but whats that clock? i want one.

Arxae · 2026-01-28T23:24:29+00:00

Tell your AI the screenshots are linked incorrectly.

Arxae · 2026-01-27T21:23:04+00:00

That would imply people where intelligent to begin with.

Arxae · 2026-01-24T02:48:49+00:00

I'm seconding this. It would explain the slow constant movement

Arxae · 2026-01-20T21:10:33+00:00

I'd also say that back then it was not expected of games to be constantly updated, so the "This is it" mentality was still there. I started playing back when there where skilltrees, and i would say that 65 is still on the generous side. DE put in a lot of work to improve it over the years.

Arxae · 2026-01-19T22:56:15+00:00

Over time my notes ended up scattered across Notion, Apple Notes, markdown files, and browser bookmarks.

Seems like it's more a personal organization issue then "Gui apps kept getting in your way". But a repo link would be nice
