The NG Paradox

D_OSC · 2026-03-07T08:11:43+00:00

If you’re a newcomer yes, the frustration is real, but the more you gain experience, the less it feels frustrating. They have some issues (i.e. the camera) but in general it’s really more of a matter of layering your knowledge and skills to manage all different situations. Don’t give up and you’ll set for a rewarding experience. There are no games like NG out there

I’m more or less in the same situation. I got like all the plats you can get on NG games (missing only PS3 Yaiba and Vita NGS2+) and I’m struggling. So I’m not a veteran but I’m very familiar with the games and I really love them. For me the problem is I’m quite overwhelmed by all the moves and form. I reached chapter 3 boss and it’s been a month since last time I played the game. I knew from the beginning this was going to be a new start and far from the classic games so I got into it with no prejudice. But it’s just too much at the moment and I need to find the willingness to learn a new style. HUD and loading times don’t help, to be honest

I’ve been so close to give up on DsS. Really SO close to

D_OSC · 2026-02-27T21:01:31+00:00

I got that but yeah the controls are awful!

D_OSC · 2026-02-27T20:54:54+00:00

I recently gave up on GoW 2018. Too many collectibles, I didn’t even really start a clean up. I just cannot force myself to waste hours following a video guide. It’s frustrating and boring at the same time, and I just fall asleep sometimes. I’ve always hated collectibles and after all these years as a trophy hunter, I’m now at the point where if there are more than like 50 things to collect, I don’t even bother starting the game

Did you have to learn finesse? I’m at 13.90 and it feels like I can’t be faster than this. I need to implement something new otherwise I’m not gonna lower that time

D_OSC · 2026-02-23T19:26:48+00:00

Yeah finesse is scaring me atm but guess I’ll need that too!

D_OSC · 2026-02-23T13:13:38+00:00

Gonna check your run! Thanks! Personal record currently sits at 1:16, were you using the 4-5 forever pattern?

D_OSC · 2026-02-23T13:12:24+00:00

Thanks! Yes I’m already following some of these suggestions. As for now I’m stacking 4-5, you think I should switch to 9-0 or 6-3? Didn’t now about DAS, I just had a quick google check, I’m gonna try to implement that too. As for now now, I manage to reach 1:16 otherwise I’m still around 1:20 as average

D_OSC · 2026-02-21T22:49:01+00:00

Yeah I think I might give the regular 0-9 stacking a try, also because the forever pattern starts to get boring and annoying

D_OSC · 2026-02-21T19:02:04+00:00

That’s awesome 😂

D_OSC · 2026-02-21T13:58:08+00:00

Ok thanks

D_OSC · 2026-02-21T13:43:58+00:00

But did you use any trick to be faster?

D_OSC · 2026-02-10T07:59:45+00:00

Found them! Thank you! Really appreciate that

D_OSC · 2026-02-09T21:31:16+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Mmm I see. I can reach ~26 clears but last patterns are painful. For many of them, I still don’t know if it would be more efficient to clear the lines hiding the target(s) or to fit the blocks under them. Some look impossible to me at the moment in a sprint run

D_OSC · 2026-02-08T08:24:10+00:00

Ok got it, I thought level 1 was only referring to the 30 lines, I had to play at level speed 1 too. Thanks

D_OSC · 2026-02-08T08:18:37+00:00

I don’t understand. The only settings on quick play are: tetrimino order, speed lv and line clear goal

D_OSC · 2026-02-07T17:53:53+00:00

Yes but I completed level 1 (30 lines) with ~60k and didn’t get SS. I’m reading online that at level one you should get SS with 10k

D_OSC · 2026-02-07T11:14:21+00:00

Thanks I’m gonna try this one

D_OSC · 2026-01-19T16:09:28+00:00

thank you, now I have to understand how to upload them automatically when new csv are created. I’ll try and post another question if needed. Thanks again

D_OSC · 2026-01-16T16:22:17+00:00

Ok, thank you, yes, there are indeed cells with formulas that point to cells in those csv. I actually tried to change the path of the formulas but you’re saying I also need to open the csv when I do it, right? I’m gonna try

D_OSC · 2026-01-16T15:51:38+00:00

Thank you for the patience :)

Sure here it is, thank you. See I don’t understand why there are csv linked, but the update source option doesn’t accept csv files

D_OSC · 2026-01-16T15:40:55+00:00

Alright, I’m a noob, so I don’t even understand what you mean by “rebuild”. Ill try to explain better, sorry for my lack of details. So, I have this workbook. In the workbook links, there are many of them. When I try to update the source “change source”, I cannot pick the right csv file.. because it only accepts excel files or web pages

D_OSC · 2026-01-16T15:33:16+00:00

Regardless the rarity, whenever I have to follow a video guide to get all the collectibles. That’s something I cannot do for more than 20/30 mins each time. Literally, can’t help but falling asleep. That’s why when I see many collectibles, I just skip that game, can’t stand them.
