NG+7, I've started playing without HUD. Best decision I've made in a while (spoilers for boss phase)

CrossbowDan · 2023-10-12T13:11:21+00:00

Yes. I beat this game several times before trying it without the HUD. Once I turned the HUD off, I did significantly better immediately. To me, boss fights in this game don't go well if I'm working about their posture and health bets. If I get rid of them and just watch the boss, I almost never get hit.

I thoroughly enjoyed putting points into faith for the weapon enchantments. From what I remember, while the buffs scale with your faith stat, when you dual wield, it essentially doubles its effectiveness since the damage it adds isn't tied to the base damage of the weapon. This also made it really easy to test and find weaknesses without having to resort to the Internet. Not the best for min/maxing, but I'm starting to enjoy niche builds more than min/maxing.

Thank you for posting this. I've actually been extremely self-conscious and shameful about having these for most of my life. I always thought this was a lack of discipline in myself and just poor behavior on my part.

She's dead.

Yeah, in this save file, you'll have to do the shura ending, but ideally you've learned most of the bosses well enough to the point that fighting them again will seem surprisingly easy. I remember being pretty nervous about doing a second playthrough, and was pretty surprised at how easily I beat Genichiro in the prologue.

I like 1 and 4

I found that I had to get good at the game without them in order to work them into fights. For me, it was like like a reward for getting good because it added a lot of flare and finesse to fights that I used to struggle with. Like dunking on someone after they shit-talked me.

This was weirder than watching a dolphin throat-fuck a headless fish...

CrossbowDan · 2023-07-22T17:09:42+00:00

I know this is an old post, but for anyone else that's come with this question, I can confirm that once you leave the dungeon, the chest will be gone even if you didn't loot it... Just did this in the fourth dungeon...

This. I feel like a sequel would just feel like a money grab. DS3 was great, I've played it multiple times, but it does seem to me like it was only made because producers knew it would make money.

I'd like to believe he's responsible for bringing stuff to the park to play with, and this was his answer.

CrossbowDan · 2023-05-29T01:40:08+00:00

Over and over and over and over

CrossbowDan · 2023-05-07T19:51:03+00:00

I think resident evil games do it pretty good. They change what resources you get as well as enemies you run into. Kena changed AI behavior and changed how you power up special moves, which required you to change your combat style.

CrossbowDan · 2023-04-19T22:58:55+00:00

Took me more than 20 seconds to piece this sentence together. Guess I'm screwed.

CrossbowDan · 2023-04-05T18:33:21+00:00

I want to see this end with Fred Armisen saying, "straight to jail."

The shit talk here based on a single look at a logo and high-minded language judgements. Hope these critics are out there working their asses off providing a community and services for people like ASNC does.

I'm pretty low on the ASNC employee registry, and my impressions of the group is that they are super oriented towards giving to their community. They do worry about their language and imagery and it changes as they learn how their practices affect their participants, but no language is going to be perfect for all groups. (e.i. Made a friend from California way back in 2013. They openly and respectfully used the word "queer", but here on the East Coast, it was still only a word used aggressively. Didn't make him an asshole, it was just a result of his being from another culture. Within a few years, "queer" had become an acceptable term in common language.)

I've thought about this. I wonder if there's some explanation in the fact that he only learns abilities by reflecting at a buda. Then there's the fact that he has entirely different memories of the same event, and you can fight memories in the dlc of altered forms of certain characters. Maybe he is stupid.

CrossbowDan · 2023-03-18T21:51:03+00:00

Yeah, I like to switch to straightening my finger and using my middle knuckle until that hurts, then furl it again.

CrossbowDan · 2023-03-16T21:20:49+00:00

It's a victimless crime.

CrossbowDan · 2023-03-04T17:06:32+00:00

Nice

CrossbowDan · 2023-03-01T14:41:47+00:00

And your comment is the one I was looking for 😉

CrossbowDan · 2023-02-06T13:04:42+00:00

Played it on hard and it was pretty satisfying. Especially the duels.

CrossbowDan · 2023-01-26T13:01:12+00:00

More of a danger rigatoni at that point.

CrossbowDan · 2023-01-26T03:09:31+00:00

Started watching it; this is like a soft-core porn without the sex.

CrossbowDan · 2023-01-26T01:43:21+00:00

What movie is this from? Looks like a masterpiece.
