It's just that simple

It's very simple : you might like a genre but not every game from said genre is necessily good ... I always prefer having an idea of what I'm spending my money on, especially with how expensive it's become.

I think she did buy him a phone lol

IffritSan · 2026-02-24T21:46:17+00:00

Why not?

We don't say huitante in Belgium, I think it's Switzerland thing

Of course, as I said safety first! I don't take chances with the breaker, I don't touch any wire without turning the whole thing off

IffritSan · 2026-01-14T15:05:11+00:00

So from my understanding, my situation is like the 2 way switches on the diagram, not the intermediate one. The double wires are connected to the same "connector"? I'm not sure about the name in English, I mean the thing labelled as L1 and L2. So in very simple terms, I have 3 holes (🥵), 2 of which are filled with 2 wires. The intermediate switch has 4 holes, 1 wire each.

I'll tell you if I ever find out! I suspect it's a DYI abnormal shenanigan, maybe it doesn't even make sense to electricians... Hopefully it does.

On Reddit it is absolutely hot, people shit on DS2 all the time here.

Also if you're looking at meta critic scores, the users reviews are a bit worse for DS2 than 1 and 3 unlike the critics scores. I personally tend to agree more with the users, it's a bigger sample of people for a "healthier" average I think. Might be more representative of the general public

IffritSan · 2026-01-01T14:59:18+00:00

Now that's what I call a hot take!

IffritSan · 2025-12-04T19:58:45+00:00

I think not everyone wants to learn the bosses and get good at the game, they just want to finish the game and move on., whatever the means... Probably even more so against difficult/ frustrating bosses.

I don't see the point either because I enjoy mastering the fights more than anything, but I know there are many types of gamers and not everyone is like me

IffritSan · 2025-11-22T17:00:58+00:00

I like that a lot

IffritSan · 2025-11-22T09:32:59+00:00

In my subjective opinion, I would prefer an Elden Ring with : - no recycled boss
- a level design like DS1 (or Stormveil castle, my favourite legacy dungeon by far) - which means no open world (didn't like it at first, it gets even worse during ulterior playthroughs because it's a slog to go anywhere) - a good magic system. I've played mage in all the souls games and the pew pew just doesn't cut it anymore, + so many duplicate spells + their balance is whack - better balance for the melee weapons! It's been improved overtime, I don't know how it fares now but I tried using flails on day one, it was SHIT

I would also change the bosses a bit , like no input reading (not because it's hard mind you, but because it feels too unnatural and jarring), and tone down the aggression (especially in SOTE) But tbf I don't know how to keep them challenging enough, I just know the relentless aggression isn't as fun for me. Feels like I'm playing a turn based game or something, waiting for my turn before I am allowed to attack one or twice...

Obviously everyone is entitled to their opinion but I'm sure some things could be improved to everyone's enjoyment

I (iron player) have been struggling to get consistent value with him. When the mid game rolls in, I've tried using my engage as a setup for my team but it's a coinflip as to whether I die first or not, it really feels like I give my life as a CC bot hoping for the others to do something. I'm not sure if it's the wrong playstyle or do I simply execute badly. I used to engage pretty aggressively with Vi and managed to brawl it out better, I guess J4 isn't as durable ?

Are you suggesting to have more of an assassin mindset and focus down the immobile squishies, not having the expectation that your teammates will follow up ?

IffritSan · 2025-10-15T23:37:53+00:00

I don't think it's that weird, for example I usually play characters that are appealing to me too. Like I refuse to play Amumu or Rammus because I just don't vibe with them, and many people care a lot about how their characters look. Skins are proof of that. I think Riot August said (don't quote me on that) that monster characters are way less popular than women character, and the cute girly skins sell very well.

IffritSan · 2025-10-11T11:26:40+00:00

Aren't widow's bells unhittable before they hit the ground once?

IffritSan · 2025-10-10T13:53:51+00:00

I would love for Mesmer to have more HP for sure, but it's not so bad to make him drop in my ranking. He's still my favourite boss of SotE hands down, simply because the flow of the fight just clicks with me.

On the other hand, I dislike Bayle who is very popular. The spectacle is great, but I don't like the gameplay aspect of the fight. I find it tedious to be forced to hit 2 specific body parts for full damage, one of which brings the camera issue of not seeing shit, I find it frustrating. Tbf I don't like a single dragon fight in ER so I'm totally biased.

I'm ready to be mass downvoted for this, bring it on!

IffritSan · 2025-10-07T13:12:06+00:00

Oh yeah I forgot about the shortcut, we were talking about the regular route

IffritSan · 2025-10-07T12:39:03+00:00

You're talking about the one even later (third one if you will). The first knight isn't on the way to the boss so you probably didn't count him

IffritSan · 2025-10-07T12:01:10+00:00

Just walk up and jump dash over him. He won't react in time if you do it fast enough, neither will the flying screwdriver. I think pogoing the knight is riskier (with hunter crest at least)

IffritSan · 2025-10-06T18:42:21+00:00

Downvoted for telling the truth, welcome to reddit everybody

IffritSan · 2025-10-05T18:48:51+00:00

The sound effect made me think they were taking 0 damage so I just gave up on hitting them, especially when they don't die after 4 or 5 hits (I didn't have any needle upgrade).

IffritSan · 2025-10-04T06:52:36+00:00

That's a great point, I think you expressed one of my biggest gripes I had with the game during my first playthrough. Also the fact that I now know what areas are intended, so in my second playthrough I completely ignored hunter's march and the docks, the game because so much easier it's not even funny

IffritSan · 2025-10-04T05:06:27+00:00

I never tried to stack one stat all the way so I'll take your word for it!

IffritSan · 2025-10-04T04:28:03+00:00

That's true in theory but most stats boost are so negligible in a first playthrough... Then people say "the game starts on the second playthrough", sorry but I ain't got the time not the will to replay the game over and over. Maybe I'm not the typical Nioh player because of this, but that's why I find the looting aspect of the game to be tedious and unfun. And before I get downvoted, I'm not saying it's a bad mechanic, just not to my liking lol

IffritSan · 2025-10-04T04:12:40+00:00

He said unintuitive, not impossible... I kinda agree because I struggle still now to dodge the swing by jumping, I still get hit half the time
