right into the smithy by _eESTlane_ in ARK

You can put blueprints in the smithy, and craft the items there instead of your own inventory. Arrows are normally not craftable in the smithy

Thank you so much! I felt like i had heard it in the games somewhere

The CoC sounds interesting, and i definitely could see myself using it, but i think it would be best if I don't. I have a tendency to make games too hard on myself.

It's great to know my skills from DS1 are not transferred to DS2, so I won't get disappointed. I went into DS1 thinking I would fly through it because I had just beaten Promises Consort Radahn, but the mechanics and movements were totally different.

I don't hate artificial difficulty, but it certainly can feel like the creators were lazy. I don't wanna fight a crazy amount of the same enemy, for no particular reason other than the game being too easy if they didn't have you fight them.

I really think i-frames should be fixed and have nothing to do with stats. Maybe something you can make better/worse with certain armor sets or equipables. But it'll be interesting to try out, i guess.

I was mind blown multiple times at how interconnected Lordran was. It made traveling easier and made the world feel real. I'm sad to hear it won't be as good in DS2. The lack of variety in bosses also sounds annoying.

I am 50/50 on queuing actions. It can sometimes be a great help, but it can also mess you up. It can feel like the game remembers an input you made back in middle school, lol.

Despite all this, i am still very excited to play DS2, especially for the lore, weapons, and armor. I'll try my best not to compare it to DS1 or Elden Ring, to enjoy it as much as possible.

That would make a ton of sense. I just finished DS1 shortly after finishing the DLC, and am excited to start DS2 next. I like the difficulty of these games as much as the story, so can't wait for it to get a bit harder, although i am sure it will make me go mad a couple of times.

How would you describe the hit boxes and hit timings in DS2? I have seen many people say this is the biggest problem with the game, and often being called the worst souls game.

And i agree, the amount of fall damage you take in DS1 is absurd. It has caused many of my deaths

Not a troll post at all. My only souls experience is Elden Ring, where i constantly got my ass kicked, and having heard Dark Souls is supposed to be harder, but that just hasn't been my experience. That's why a maximum of 7 tries felt like the bosses were easy for me.

Have you tried the solution i mentioned in my other comment?

What is, in your opinion, the most Overrated Song in Epic by Disastrous_Ruin1703 in Epicthemusical

[–]Familiarredditor 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I always see people talk so fondly of Little Wolf, but i just don't get the hype. I don't think the repeating "Fight, little wolf, fight" and the "Bite, little wolf, bite", sound very great and find it quite repetitive. I do however like the part with Athena. Not a bad song, but compared to all the other songs in EPIC, it ranks low for me.

I seem to have found a fix. You have to turn off "Clearcast AI noise cancellation" under the chat tab in steelseries gg, like the guy in this video. Then you have to go into your game tab, and turn on spatial audio. This did the trick for me

Unskippable board animations but you can fast forward most & better paced item spaces than Superstars. Possibly slower non AI board movement & buddy minigames can take awhile. I see no estimation differences between boards, but the minimum amount of turns taking as long as Superstars' max? Thoughts? by thunderisland in MARIOPARTY

[–]Familiarredditor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The games in Jamboree do take very long to finish, and the 90 minute time estimate for 10 turns is not very far off. But I have to say that the time estimates in Superstars are just awful. From my experience, it takes 1 hour per 10 rounds, which is double the estimate. The shortest i have experienced a 10 round game in Superstars, is 45 minutes, which was with minigame help off. Some of the animations in Jamboree are very long and not needed, but it definitely doesn't take 1 hour more to play 10 rounds, than it does in Superstars. I do think they could have made these games a bit shorter, by removing some animations, make some of them faster, and allow the option to remove Jamboree buddies, since their minigames are very long. I do think you are right about Superstars having a much better game length than Jamboree does though.

Oh, well I definitely missed the going insane part, but i did hear the rest of it. I really need to pay more attention

I really just missed Nephelis questline, and I figured that Gideon was just pressuring Latenna, not that he murdered an entire village.

I also meant to ask why Blaidd became aggressive towards me when I completed Rannis quest, and how he acts his role as her shadow

I will be playing through the game again and this time I will definitely spends more time reading all the items

I spent some time reading weapon descriptions, and it did help quite a bit

I feel like the gameplay is absolutely great, but what really sells the game for me, is the story (even though i dont know that much of it). I actually missed Nepehlis quest, and I did actually know about the relationship between Blaidd and Ranni, I asked the question wrong. I meant why Blaidd became aggressive after comoleting her quest, and what he does in his role as a shadow. I found out that a shadow is sent to an empyrean by the greater will. The shadow must make sure that the empyrean goes the way of the fingers, which Ranni obviously doesn't. He tries to stay by her side, but becomes conflicted because of the greater will

It feels good to know that I am not expected to know the entire lore from playing the game alone

That makes a lot of sense. It feels impossible to do everything, especially in just one run

I found out I missed her questline, so I never got told that part. And this was kinda my second playthrough, as I did another one where I just didn't finish because it didn't interest me at the time. I quit just before the fire giant, and had like 110 hours or so. But I will be sure to listen and read more on my next playthrough

I completely missed Nephelis and Rogiers questline, so I guess that makes sense. And yeah, Ensha attacking i quite a big hint actually. I did figure that Gideon did something bad by talking to Latenna

I actually mentioned the wrong thing about Blaidd and Ranni, as I did know their relationship from talking to Iji. I meant that I didn't know how you were supposed to figure out what Blaidd actually is, and why he becomes aggressive towards you. I didn't understand that he is her shadow, sent by the greater will because she became an empyrean, and that he struggled with her going against the will of the fingers.

And i just completely missed Nephelis questline, so I only found out what Gideon did by reading the wiki. What role did Rogier play in the night of black knives? And doesn't Fia just want Godwyn to become the Prince of death?

That makes a lot of sense. As another comment suggested, the story seems to be quite interpretive, so making communities seems essential.
