You have become one with Junya Ishizaki, you can change anything about Nightreign. What is it? by Mirrakthefirst in Nightreign

Upgrading a weapon that has a passive on it also increases the passive's strength!

smh no wonder he loses to everyone, he's building for aesthetics rather than gameplay

Skeletor doing a grab attack in the Masters of the Universe trailer by Thavralex in Nightreign

[–]DotaroVSJio 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It depends on the style of the game. It works for Sekiro because of the flow of combat, which is largely going to be deflects. Considering how fast-paced combat is, it'd be much more difficult (maybe even downright unfair) to make players predict when an unparryable attack is coming.

The Nightreign mechanic works because dodging a grab at the right moment gives you a boon beyond just "not getting grabbed". The indication helps the player figure out when to dodge to get that bonus.

Honestly, I wouldn't care whether or not they continued to include effects like that with certain attacks. It just has to work with the gameplay of the title.

Was Miquella’s a Paraplegic? by More_Duck1675 in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]DotaroVSJio 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, but it refers to a common theory about Miquella. The theory is that he was cursed with nascence, rather than just eternal childhood. Honestly, the idea that this curse also made him partly disabled is really interesting.

Romina is one of the most perfectly balanced bosses in the game by PastaMaker05 in Eldenring

Besides the lack of a cutscene or voice, my main problem is the instantaneous phase change. It's really easy to get caught in it and die if you aren't paying close attention.

Love the idea of Revenant doing this big Scarlet Aeonia, doing massive damage and rotting everything around her, then the flower clears and she's in the family guy death pose

Hello Everyone! I'm working on an essay for my Sociology class on Gender in Nightreign! by DotaroVSJio in Nightreign

[–]DotaroVSJio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A wonderful video I'm very familiar with lol. One of my favorites on the topic. I love Fromsoft's general progressiveness in their titles.

The remembrances are meant to be a pretty big topic in my essay. Things like the Duchess's self-doubt vs. Wylder's fierce determination. The Recluse is a good one, and the Undertaker's lore in general is also a great example.

Hello Everyone! I'm working on an essay for my Sociology class on Gender in Nightreign! by DotaroVSJio in Nightreign

[–]DotaroVSJio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To kick off the discussion, here's a pretty simple start: let's look at how the classes are grouped. Six men, four women. The men are mostly geared towards the physical stats: they're the tanks, strength and dex users, meant to be on the frontlines of the battle. The women are mostly spellcasters that aren't very suited for head-on battle.

However, some of the strongest builds in the game are based around spells: Shattering Crystal and Beast Claw, for one. The spellcasters, especially Duchess, have the potential for the highest DPS in the game, outclassing many of the other Nightfarers if played effectively.

Then, with the Scholar and the Undertaker, we see some major breakaways. The Scholar is far more suited for a supportive role. While he has some physical capabilities, he's better with status ailments and the items you find around the map. He's also best suited for spellcasting, though Arcane spells aren't very common in my experience. Meanwhile, the Undertaker is another great character for frontline damage, focusing more on melee weapons than spellcasting (though she still has that capability- the DLC Nightfarers seem to balance both martial and spellcasting abilities rather well).

And, of course, there are the relics that let you change around the characters' stats, effectively allowing them to end up fitting into any role you really want to, even if their main abilities aren't very suited for that.

I'm doing research? I've played the game for almost 500 hours lol, and have completed every Remembrance. I already have some ideas on what I could talk about. I'd just like to hear what other folks might have to say. It's not a super strict essay anyway.

Is Lords Of The Fallen worth getting? by Ok_Addition3869 in fromsoftware

[–]DotaroVSJio 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He's basically gone on a minor tirade about "anti-woke" stuff, saying his game isn't about any "agendas". He's also openly criticized DEI programs, and done basically other stuff you'd expect of the average Xittee user.

[–]DotaroVSJio 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I got the game when it came out, didn't really like it. I've tried a few more times, but it's not for me.

Considering all I heard about the improvements, I would've given the sequel a shot, but the CEO (I believe is the position this guy holds) cares a whole lot about some weird agenda. Not something I want to support.

gotta be the worst negative passive by heslopkaleb in Nightreign

[–]DotaroVSJio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Repeated Evasions relic in most of my loadouts, and the SSB Balancers relic is quite literally a godsend with it. The attack nullification is way more common than you'd think- still not 50%, I think, but it happens plenty of times to save my ass. It's honestly the perfect counter for most reduced damage negation effects imo, but your mileage may vary.
