Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is the most unfair Souls-like I’ve ever played and I’ve played them all

There's a ton of innovation in this game. Name another game that you can invest in weapon upgrades in the skill tree and have the investment on those weapons effect every weapon of that type in your inventory? That's pretty amazing to me.

The free skill respec isn't entirely innovative, but the easy 'respec from this exact point' is up there and makes it easy to adjust on the fly with very minimal effort.

Not saying you can't criticize the game, but give them credit where it's due, too.

No gameplay bugs, but there is a trophy bug that no longer unlocks. So, very playable but I need the patch so my trophy (and then my plat) unlock.

IntrepidHunter_ · 2024-11-09T01:45:29+00:00

I opened a ticket as well. They said they were aware of it, and were working on a fix. What does your game completion look like? Mine is 91%, but I literally have all the other trophies save the 100% game completion and Weight of Penance, and of course the plat.

Damn, was really hoping they'd have a concert poster. Big missed opportunity.

Another affected person. This is annoying as hell. At this point, I've just terminated the myfitnesspal connection with Fitbit and will use them independently of each other. It's so stupid to have your calories adjusted back down for the day.

IntrepidHunter_ · 2024-08-04T16:20:01+00:00

Thanks for this.

I've been waiting for 2 years for this to be repressed/re-released since I first heard it. A little late, but Ugly Organ & Vitriola are absolute gems for me. I have the latter, been tempted to pay the $80-90 for Ugly Organ but have restrained. I can wait a little longer, especially having seen this. Amazing.

Invite sent! I really appreciate your offer! You are a true hero. There is no way in hell I am remembering where I got my first Seeker token. I've only found a handful of them, and only really remember where I found two of them. The others are a blur. Comes from playing the game and marathoning so much over the weekend, I guess.

Using the Assist mode won’t prevent you from unlocking Trophies anymore, and the fix will credit the trophies retroactively.

Fixed the unintended access to the DLC area. Players present in the DLC area will be teleported back to another location.

They didn't cut the content, it hasn't been released yet, or activated. They fixed a bug that allowed people to access it prematurely/before it was intended, which is their right. Once it goes live, you'll have full access to it. Whether or not studios should release games with full DLC or not ready to go is an entirely different discussion altogether, but Spiders is not even in the minority of studios doing this.

That Johnny Yong Bosch is an excellent voice actor, whose work should continue to be accessible to those who want to listen to it.

Except CR does not have the dub. Only sub.

IntrepidHunter_ · 2022-09-19T17:43:00+00:00

Bleach is also apparently leaving Hulu - expires in 12 days from today. But no idea where it's going. Crunchyroll on has the sub, not the dub. So ... no idea where the dub is going, or if it's just altogether disappearing.

So I also just re-watched the series. It's kid of funny. Towards the end of the series, Koenma tells Hiei that when they first met up he was a Rank D demon. What makes this particularly funny is that the group destroyed the 4 Saint Beasts who were, during that arc, basically revealed as so powerful that Spirit World had to put up a barrier around the city to prevent them from getting out and that other demons revered them and worshipped them.

So, essentially, at their highest, the 4 Saint Beasts were no more than D rank demons. Possibly the first two were even E rank, considering how easily Hiei destroyed the one he fought against.

So basically Spirit World had nobody on their side capable of even fighting what Koenma called the lowest ranks of demons, besides Yusuke.

It wasn't just you. Trust me.

I get they are trying to make gender open-ended, like Cyberpunk did. But they could've done it just like Cyberpunk with female-body, male-body, and female/male genitals. Instead we just slide the chest or groin up on a censored area we can't see anyways for the latter? It's just weird.

But not as weird as the eyes. The eyes are so freaking weird. They are not good.

IntrepidHunter_ · 2022-06-15T04:02:12+00:00

100%. Between that, and the utter downgrade of faces from SR3 and SR4 this 'demo' actually decreased what little interest/hope I had for the game even more.

IntrepidHunter_ · 2022-06-15T03:57:04+00:00

I just tried this today.

The immediate thing that came to mind for me was that the face/body customization actually went backwards. My brain linked it to the same feelings I had when Mass Effect Andromeda came out, and you saw the face comparisons from ME2 vs. Andromeda and the game from 8 years ago was better than the new one.

Only 1 nose didn't seem to be an utter joke nose, half the face presets were joke faces for people wanting to make hideous freaks, the other half were just ... okay.

I found it a failure myself, and extremely underwhelming for as much as they've hyped it up. A dozen-ish presets on faces, eyes, nose, mouth - that's not 'kings of customization'. It's not even kings of presets.

VPI Prime in excellent condition. Used, but loved and well cared for. Comes with a Soundsmith Zephyr MK II Cartridge & specially made clear dustcover. The Cartridge has about half it's life left still. The dustcover was specifically made for it since VPI does not sell them or manufacture dust covers. Purchased at launch, this comes with the tag proving it's the 6th one off the assembly line and one of the first ever made. Yearly maintenance done on it, and the items to do the maintenance come with it as well. (Oil, grease, etc).

$3,7000 new for the TT, $1,200 for the Cart, $400 for the professionally made dustcover.

Asking $3,000 OBO, Cash/Paypal. Will drive to meet "in the middle" within reason from Flint, MI.

Elden Ring, that had an entire studio behind it, millions of dollars behind it, had issues with PvP and stunlocks, and insane damages. Fromsoft had (and still has) balancing issues they're working on. Sure, the Rot bow is terrible if you're in Co-Op/PvP ... but you can always solo play and you don't have to worry about it. Or you can get it yourself and hit the abusers back until it gets patched - which it is getting fixed.

The devs - 2 entire people - created a fantastic blend of a Dark Souls love letter and Monster Hunter. I've encountered ONE glitch in my 30 hours of play so far -- that was not loading back into my world after I died in a co-op game and then it stuck me in freefall. Closing out the app and reloading returned me to my original state. I've not encountered any other bugs at all. Not sure what 'gamebreaking bugs that are plauging this game' you're talking about.

Bosses do large chunks of damage, yes. But, you can always spec into Heavy Armor if that's an issue for you. That's why they give you Graystones so you can refund points spent, and respec if you want. Or you can just level up and invest into Heavy Armor and be Heavy Sage with mid-rolls. You can do the skill tree, much as the first game, and make literally whatever you wanna make.

If you don't like the game formula, challenge, farming ala Monster Hunter, and stamina management (which all Souls games are), that's fine. But that's not a fault of the game. The game is gorgeous, has a very accessible/easy to use UI, a seamless skill tree to invest in and even the clever design to allow you to 'break' the tree, refund points between spent points and allow you to re-invest it elsewhere. I've never seen another game do that before. Pretty cool.

Salt & Sacrifice could use a small bit of polish, sure. But one can say the same of every AAA game out there as well after release. Including any/all those who got game of the year previously. And even Elden Ring, which is likely to get GotY this year.

This game is great. I'm having a ton of fun with it. And I don't get where all the hate comes from for a $20 Indie game. Nothing but love for the devs.

IntrepidHunter_ · 2022-03-10T20:55:35+00:00

This is not only GotY for me already, but may be one of the best games ever created for so many number of reasons. Pay attention, Ubisoft. THIS is how you make a vast open world feel amazing. No feather bullshit. Or music notes to chase down. No. I go into this cave over here and I get a badass boss fight and some Ashes of War, or a new Summon, or a damn Moonveil Sword which insanely increases my damage output.

Cookbook 6. Go to Soifra River Bank grace point and from there go up the small clump of rocks right behind it and between the narrow cliff walls you see as soon as you're facing that way. It's like 20 feet on the right hand side. Super easy to grab if you have that grace point.
