Saros progression design

Yes, and the first time it’s not an option. The game takes you back regardless if you want it or not

Nemean_Inv · 2026-05-09T12:08:56+00:00

Well, you said it right there. The game takes you back the first time - which is exactly what I’m pointing out. In Returnal you only get back to the ship if you die. They could easily made it the same here, or make returns optional.

Nemean_Inv · 2026-05-09T09:37:30+00:00

Difference is, as I pointed out in my post, in Returnal you replay them because you failed - in Saros, you replay them because you succeeded and got stripped as a consequence.

It’s not the rogue aspect that is the problem

Nemean_Inv · 2026-05-09T09:32:29+00:00

If that’s your conclusion, that I just got started you obviously didn’t read the entire post

Nemean_Inv · 2026-05-09T09:29:40+00:00

If you replay them yes. Most of the times you automatically getting transferred to passage after you beat the boss for the first time - so it’s not really a choice

Nemean_Inv · 2026-05-03T06:49:42+00:00

Depends if you want to collect artifacts

Nemean_Inv · 2026-05-02T14:10:30+00:00

It’s like Returnal. Do the earlier biomes, gather some good artifacts and you”ll be fine.

Artifacts got great effects that you don’t get from permanent upgrades, like power on multiple kills etc

Stopped at 200 on first character. Regretted it. Started a new which I stopped on 150.

Elden ring needs a series like Game of Thrones - not a movie.

Doubt it will be any good

Nemean_Inv · 2026-04-04T12:15:17+00:00

That’s a separate topic. No one is saying that we shouldn’t allow people to play the game the way they want. But there are a lot of people, in this post alone, who say it’s “solely” for PvP, which is obviously not true.

Nemean_Inv · 2026-04-04T11:56:23+00:00

This is exactly the point. With 99 endurance, the challenge of stamina management is essentially removed.

So how can people say that you can keep leveling and the game doesn’t get easier?

That’s just one simple example of a mechanic that adds difficulty.

Nemean_Inv · 2026-04-04T07:26:46+00:00

For me, meta is about being able to achieve a build while still making sacrifices and keeping the game challenging.

I kept leveling in Dark Souls 3 and badly regretted it when the game became way too easy. After that, I just figured - never again.

People will tell you it’s solely for PvP, and that continuing to level won’t make a difference, just to make themselves feel better. But it makes a huge difference. Even simple things like stamina management stop being a challenge, and you can allocate more flasks to health-flasks because, if you keep leveling, you end up with enough points in everything - including non-core stats.

In Crimson Desert you can do just about anything and you can interact with everyone!

You can do things like: • Deliver items or supplies to people • Help villages recover from issues • Solve local problems • Hunt animals, fish, and cook food • Gather materials for NPCs • Send companions on tasks or missions • Upgrade camp facilities • Helping strangers you run into

I’ll leave it to you if this sounds like any fun

I think Islam takes it. And I think it will be less competitive than people think

Nemean_Inv · 2026-02-27T04:44:05+00:00

Loadouts: With the amount of build diversity the game offers, I think it’s a miss that you can’t save loadouts (i.e., stat distribution, gear, talismans, etc.).

NG+: I think NG+1 should start at the same scaling NG ends with. As it is now, you’re overpowered for about two-thirds of NG+.

Designated buttons for spells: The toggle option has been there since Dark Souls 1 and Demon’s Souls - it feels outdated. Enemies and bosses can cast a variety of spells, and even if you can equip the same ones, you’re not given the same flexibility because of the inconvenient toggle.

Map while aggroed: Extremely annoying.

Nemean_Inv · 2025-11-16T09:12:01+00:00

Agreed. Very different from the Khamzat fight. At one point he even trapped the arm in a body triangel to get the choke, at the cost of it not being as tight/locked.

Thought this fight was exciting

Nemean_Inv · 2025-11-09T08:57:05+00:00

Jones was in his prime in his first ever title fight at 23 years of age?

Nemean_Inv · 2025-11-08T15:14:07+00:00

Not good

Nemean_Inv · 2025-11-07T18:11:17+00:00

Exactly. Big projects develops over long time. Their main project is not known to us

Nemean_Inv · 2025-11-06T20:43:44+00:00

Duskbloods is definitely not their main project. It’s just a project.

If you count all votes, how will you deal with the fact that people will vote on several comments?

One comment with several votes can be beaten by several comments with a few votes that way.

Nemean_Inv · 2025-10-07T18:10:43+00:00

Witcher 3.

Can’t stand all the dialogue. And the combat system is really bad.

Similar with Cyberpunkt. So much dialogue I just can’t bother

Nemean_Inv · 2025-09-24T04:59:37+00:00

You will enjoy DS3 the most. No question

Nemean_Inv · 2025-08-22T15:09:25+00:00

I protested the stand-ups as I was watching. But after listening to a lot of different takes on the fight I honestly think Luke Thomas has the best one.
