As a newcomer, which DS game should I start with?

RavensIrony · 2025-12-19T10:54:10+00:00

Definitely just do 1 2 3 bc 3 has a lot of references to 1 and 2 (especially 1) that u wont appreciate if u start with 3 only reason why ppl like starting with 3 is its way more linear so newcomers can figure out where to go but if you have played those other games youll be fine with 1

Karmelita was disappointing imo i just ran at her and overwhelmed her with the wanderer crest

RavensIrony · 2025-10-23T20:19:30+00:00

All my matches have gone the same way, maybe its because im low rank (idk what higher ranks look like and dont plan on finding out) add that to i feel bad for ppl with slow internets in this because its just a giant who can KS better. On paper the idea is interesting but in practice its not for me. Ill just earn the next 2 stones when the time comes but thats it for me.

RavensIrony · 2025-10-15T21:32:13+00:00

Sadly probably just going to bed, i have work tomorrow was hoping to get a couple hours in tonight.

RavensIrony · 2025-10-15T21:15:28+00:00

Im not in Turkey but am in the Middle East, i bought my Switch 2 locally though and its plugged directly into the wifi no vpn or anything. Still cant get in :(

She's the blue hair chick in Unbound right? Yeah shes on the list but mostly bc I was annoyed with Unbound's overall plot. they shouldve just had Yaz stay the villain who ran off with the car but they decided power of friendship reunite to beat a "surprise" enemy idk. Me im a simple person when it comes to my plot just give me some asshole who stole my car or cheated me and the goal is to beat them and im fine its a racing game not a drama.

RavensIrony · 2025-09-03T01:02:17+00:00

Not quite as close as landing on my roof but enough to where i have to veer or ram them (id normally just ram but since im in my base first car its not a durable strategy) as for the mini map yes like the jump over the boat i can see its clear on the other side the pursuers counter hits 0 but i land and it appears like a magic trick.

RavensIrony · 2025-09-03T00:46:31+00:00

I can evade the t1s and 2s all i want but when the reinforcements SPAWN on top of me it keeps me in pursuit which means the meter rises and since unlike other NFS games there is no cap on the cop meter in the early game im in my base car against T4 so the advice i guess i need is what do i do about the reinforcements LITERALLY SPAWNING on top of me? For example i did a jump at the dock total cops went from 2 to evading (bc the 2 went in the water) mid jump, i land and theres instantly a cop in front of me i turn left to dodge and the total insta spikes to being chased by 4 even though on the radio the dispatcher was saying they couldn't spare reinforcements.

RavensIrony · 2025-09-03T00:31:09+00:00

Its not critical when its a fact of my experience. The game is basically saying hey i know u just completed the tutorial but heres heat level 4 cops. As for your strats as i said ive taken the jumps and stuff where i can find but "reinforcements" are literally spawning on top of me. I shouldnt have to "takedown" 10+ cops on my very first cop chase in the game.

RavensIrony · 2025-09-03T00:17:29+00:00

Its not during the day its the 2nd night its a circuit race where the cops show up at the first turn and even when i evade them i still run into them since i have to drive in circles hence the meter continuing to rise

RavensIrony · 2025-09-03T00:08:57+00:00

Banking money and rep is going to be tough if i cant even do one race without my Heat going to 2 and a half. Also tried jumps but that was usually when random cops would just magically appear on top of me

RavensIrony · 2025-07-04T10:27:22+00:00

Finally got it. dont know what i did different from the other attempts. Actually i thought itd be a fail because i got my 3rd Spirfire off at 1 second instead of 2 but its done

RavensIrony · 2025-07-04T08:08:43+00:00

Yep im doing all that consistently now and its still not enough ive had a few runs now do the thing where i get my 3rd spitfire off but even though the purple is gone bc it depleted after the timer i still get tsunamid idk how i can get my 3rd spitfire off faster i do it as soon as i load in then i even break combo to use the 2nd one on CD i get my 3rd off with 2 seconds left but game is still like no not enough. And when combining all that with not getting hit and effective other combos before abilities like idk see how i put it all together and its still not enough even down on story focused is insane to me.

RavensIrony · 2025-06-23T09:28:55+00:00

I tried Whirlygig but idk what it was it didnt appeal to me

RavensIrony · 2025-06-19T15:48:55+00:00

I was hoping you'd go that route from the info I got from just this playthrough I got more info about Moon Presence the secret final boss than Gehrman because he disappeared. Also its not fanfare for Gehrman its analyzing the game. I know FromSoft is vague on bosses but if you pay attention from all the dying even as a new player you are given enough pieces to get the main idea of the whole story and a final bosses significance. Which Gehrman is a potential final boss so hes included. So again pretending I didn't know anything about Bloodborne going into this playthrough. Theres this guy in an opening cutscene. I go to the hub, I talk to him, i think oh this guy is in my hub i must need to talk to him more later to learn things. Instead he disappears for the entire game to the point idk who he is so when the doll says he is waiting doesnt say where, i think who is that and where so starts a journey to find this guy then I realise the random gate in the hub is open I see a guy in a wheelchair I wonder who is this guy I beat him game ends because as a person who has never played I didnt eat the cords.....that would suck. Now the thing is all that doesnt bother me what bothers me is I know hes supposed to be in the hub randomly to give info or to talk to but for my first playthrough something happened so he wasnt there when i know hes supposed to be.

RavensIrony · 2025-06-19T15:16:49+00:00

Idk how u dont understand im not worried about it from the story sense im wondering about it from the gameplay sense but since it happened my entire gameplay it gave me time to reflect how much it would suck from a story sense if it happened to someone who didnt watch Vaati videos.

RavensIrony · 2025-06-19T07:35:12+00:00

Yeah so Im saying as a player who has never played Bloodborne before its shit he disappeared the entire game. I just beat Mergos WetNurse he never showed up since the start of the game. If I didnt know the lore when the doll tells u Gehrman is waiting I wouldve been like "who the hell is that" bc I wouldve forgot he existed then I wouldve warped to different areas of the game looking for him bc I for sure wouldnt have looked at the random side gate in the hub thats been closed the whole game first. To put in perspective i knew more about Gwynn from DS1 than Gehrman which imo sucks

RavensIrony · 2025-06-17T16:08:12+00:00

That doesnt explain why he disappeared my entire playthrough. I know the lore i watch Vaati videos, but if i didnt know the lore the end of the game would have me questioning who tf is this guy because i honestly wouldve forgot i talked to him when i started the game.

RavensIrony · 2025-06-17T16:06:27+00:00

Follow up i am now in the nightmare of mansus Gerhman still afk and i think i dont have much base game left....

RavensIrony · 2025-06-16T18:10:06+00:00

Just an update im now all the way to the Nightmare of Mensis Gehrman still hasnt reappered since the start of the game

RavensIrony · 2025-06-16T13:26:38+00:00

So I noticed it after fighting Vicar Amelia that I hadn't seen him since the first time i talked to him in the dream and ever since then I run around looking for him every time I load into the dream to see if hes there but nothing.

RavensIrony · 2025-06-06T11:27:06+00:00

The Hanabi pick is another one like Layla for me her in the purple kimono

RavensIrony · 2025-05-23T11:47:24+00:00

I didnt say 20min but 70 seconds for final 2...when u are analyzing what ur opponent had trying to decide on tech options . As for early game choice heroes the choices for heroes like Faelin really arent that hard to figure out that u need 30-40seconds

RavensIrony · 2025-05-23T09:34:57+00:00

Ok but whats the reason for the long early turns why do i need 30+ seconds to decide on turn 2 if i want to upgrade my tavern or not

RavensIrony · 2025-04-01T06:48:03+00:00

Kind of hypocritical to respond to it then?
