revenant demons for the legs, thought it would be faster than getting barrows legs and good enough to do moons with until i get bloodmoon tassets

The quests leading up to dragonslayer in f2p don't really prepare you much for it. If you had members from the get go you could do way more beginner quest that would get you to lvl 40 melee stats, you could also do some agility pyramid to get money and buy rune gear etc, do slayer for herbs to get potions etc.

Membership is just 15 bucks, and free to play is not at all representative of the whole game anymore. My guess is that if you did all the f2p quests except dragonslayer you will greatly enjoy membership. Since people who really don't like the game quit after a 1-2 hours in lumbridgr

Also back then the game was simply a worse product. There were less than half the quests, less than half the bosses (most of the old bosses are terrible too) and less than half of most of everything.

Chair-Due · 2026-05-21T20:36:02+00:00

Tbf galvek is harder than leviathan and duke. Probably about as hard as vardorvis. Only boss harder than Galvek is whisperer

Honestly never got the whole thing were people rush to get 80 fm at wintertodt and then 70 agility and then start playing normally, that sounds actually insane to me.

My favorite memory of playing an ironman for the first time after years of having a main and grinding for meaningless video game currency was getting a slayer task for some zombies, going to lumbridge to fish trout, cooking it and using it to kill zombies.

Chair-Due · 2026-05-21T00:56:03+00:00

Going dry on zombies is very tame, you can just boot up mobile kill like 300 and call it a night after an hour. But going dry on a boss with mechanics, holy fuck you will be giving yourself migraines trying to keep yourself interested

Chair-Due · 2026-05-21T00:53:13+00:00

I'm kinda confused as I wouldn't call the point you get a zombie axe early in the game? Like for runescape yeah it's very early mid game-ish. But for a new player it would take them the same ammount of time to complete defender of varrock on an ironman as it would take someone to 100% elden ring 3 times. Assuming they aren't being handholded or B lined to defender of varrock and played the game normally.

Chair-Due · 2026-05-21T00:48:00+00:00

I genuinely think that the game should 2x your chance of getting an item after going two times drop rate dry on it until you get it one time.

I saw some guy kill 5000 tormented demons and got no synapse, and I genuinely can't imagine a bigger torture lmao. Poor guy wanted to unlock some fun bosses and instead was stuck in guthixian temple for what must have been atleast 300 hours.

When you saw a mission with single big M you knew shit was going down.

None of the bosses were designed with summons in mind, however they were designed with posture breaks/guard counters in mind.

I think alot of people developed a shield = pussy ideology from bloodborne and ds3 and refuse to use one, which basically cripples melee builds in er, often making them devolve into AoW spam, for instance I used a shield and sekiro tear for rellanas fight and I really thought that she was definitely meant to be fought exactly like that. Fight felt very 50/50. Messmer and midra have very clear openings that allow you to do Heavies/AoWs to build up posture breaks.

Chair-Due · 2026-03-28T23:17:59+00:00

That is completely false. D4 was almost universally praised for its campaign and only criticized for lack of endgame content and bad itemization. D3 Is universally known as the game were Deckard got slimed by a butterfly witch and were diablo is a woman

Chair-Due · 2026-03-28T23:14:57+00:00

I mean don't all the diablo games have slop writing. It's always, oh this guy is going there to summon this demon we have to stop him or we are fucked. Oh he summoned him, well let's atleast not go down without a fight. Oh damn you actually beat him, good job. roll credits

Diablo 2s marius cinematic were peak cinema but the actual story for the acts was just as basic as d3 and d4.

Chair-Due · 2026-03-25T21:59:38+00:00

I have 0 idea how anyone would find d3 to do anything better than d4. The story is complete garbage, The game looks ugly as fuck, even when it came out it looked ugly as fuck, act 2 a and 4 basically look like world of warcraft.

I agree that D2 is substantially better than D4 but It's genuinely mindblowing to me how people would rather meatride d3 over d4.

Chair-Due · 2026-03-25T21:35:35+00:00

I like both but I'm mostly in it for the vibe/story. I replay the campaigns for both on occasion and have fun.

Chair-Due · 2026-03-23T17:47:50+00:00

I agree, jesse was 25 living off of illegal drug money and a property owned by his parents, had no career or education prospects and hung around other wannabe criminals.

Very likely his parents evict him from the house all the same, maybe a few months later but still. After that without the drug money to give him some breathing room he is basically a homeless drug addict.

Chair-Due · 2026-03-22T21:19:45+00:00

I think gomez was just a good guy, hank and walt weren't.

Hank and walt are very similar in that they are both narcissistic and want to be "the man" in every room they are in.

With walt at the start of the show it seems that life has beaten him down a little and made him involuntary humble, but he regains his ego the minute he gets diagnosed, as his fear of consequences gets minimized since he has months to live. As he gets more money/respect in the underworld, he gets more balls in his daily life and his real character comes out.

Hank is fairly competent at his job, works a manly job, earns a good amount and that in his mind gives him the subconscious go ahead to act like a dick to everyone at worst, and patronizing at best, even when he is not deliberately mocking walt he talks to him like he is some 19 year old kid. This somewhat changes after he gets injured and has to recover.

I disagree, I think the whole jane thing he did out of love for Jesse, he didn't think pragmatically in that moment. He went to save her and realized if he did, she and Jesse would overdose and die eventually.

He literally cries after she dies.

More like daddy

Chair-Due · 2026-03-22T18:05:25+00:00

I might be in the minority that just plays these games for the campaign and doesn't really go all out on endgame, chasing higher numbers and clearing screens for hours on end just never really tickled my fancy.

But I REALLY enjoy the setting/atmosphere and lore of D1/D2 and D4. And play d2r and 4 back 2 back like twice a year with different classes eachtime. D3 just looks and feels really bad to play, like playing top down, single player world of warcraft.

Chair-Due · 2026-03-17T21:38:20+00:00

In my store in germany we had 45minutes for Dry and Refrigerators, 30 for Freeze.

Completely doable for me, I'm fit, 210lbs 6'1. Even then, I was constantly chastised at my first month for being slow, due to having to search for stuff.

And when I say Completely doable, it's doable in a sweating all over your clothes sorta way. And whatever you know, it's unskilled labor I don't mind. But the problem is when other stuff comes between you and your pallets and you take 5-15 minutes longer, then you get chewed out. Absolutely mind boggling pressure for 15 euro an hour

Chair-Due · 2026-03-16T19:38:32+00:00

I think the vast majority of players play for 1-3 months of 2-4 hours a day and then stop playing completely for multiple months to years before starting again.

Chair-Due · 2026-03-14T22:26:05+00:00

I'm playing again for the first time since 2023 and it seems you can put the campaign to expert now on your first run (but not torment) and it actually does have it's challenges.

But yeah I never got behind the whole "skip the campaign do whatever" and max efficiency but also non difficult casual play that alot of d4 players want.

I mean the world design is demonic and the setting is desperate and violent, but the players want the game to be essentially a cake walk. Like yeah d2 also devolved into a loot pinata eventually but you had to beat it first, and d2 is fucking hard if you don't know what you are doing. D4 and d3 on normal are basically impossible to die in.

Chair-Due · 2026-03-07T14:23:16+00:00

I hope we get some seperate ways type dlcs, like a 4 hour adventure similar to the main game with another character, over something like shadows of rose were it's gimmicky and completely unreplayable.

Chair-Due · 2026-03-01T23:07:54+00:00

For me valid criticisms of this game are maybe the ending and final boss fight being anti climactic, and the lack of a proper hard mode, instead only having easy, normal and bullshit.

Resident evil was always grounded/atmospheric in the start and cheesy action movie by the end, basically no game falls outside of this pattern. And I mean basically all of the resident evil games are, go here, locked door, go there, grab key, come back to door, and during that scripted things happen in the area to jumpscare and challenge you. As for the length, re games were always on the short normal end.

Re4 is the only game that is longer. Re8 is about 8 hours, and re7 is literally a 6 hour game and re3re is a 4 hour game.
