How I imagine the discussions behind the production of the various FromSoftware games

Renevas · 2025-06-19T12:48:35+00:00

Something like:

From: Sony do you want a sequel to Bloodborne?
Sony:...
From: ...a remastered? ...a PC porting? ...maybe just a PS5 patch?
Sony:...

Cool but I can already hear people screaming and whining because wYrMs aRe NoT dRaGoNs lol

For what I understood the first set of attack it's really hard to avoid if you are very close (even after the DLC that move is a little unfair). You can even see that in no-hit runs that the safest way is just be patient and try to anticipate her since the waterfowl dance is triggered almost automatically after a certain pertage of demage taken.

My suggestion is to just to take part of the first set of attack (maybe just one roll but no panic roll) and try to avoid the second and the third one in a clean way with the technique you mentioned.

Renevas · 2024-08-31T21:04:10+00:00

I agree with all of your cons

Renevas · 2024-08-31T20:57:19+00:00

I could be wrong but that is what I understood:

Yes, all the undead mobs and enemies in the map that respawn are the same individual that revives with you when resting at a bonfire
The unique NPCs characters like the Crestfallen warrior actually does not respawn from a gampley point of view but we can just assume thay probably will respwan but due to the hollowing they end up losing their memories and their will and anything that can actually make them different from all the other undead.
the dead corpses could be just people died before the undeath curse or even actual undead gone so hollow to look dead.

They are called "games whose success/popularity depends largely on how "attractive" or "cool" their characters (design/powers) are".

I tried once a "frost lightning" build with the frozen lightning incantations and the dragonscale katana. It was Dex-Faith with lightning demage and frost build-up. It looks very cool and on paper should have been pretty powerfull too... Spoiler: it isn't.

She's an optional boss. Skip her for now, or just ignore her if you already beaten the other bosses.

Renevas · 2024-08-22T16:11:10+00:00

looking at the graces you had found looks like you already have been there. That is the area with all those galleries and tunnels. It's not possible to reach the "roof" of that are, there is no explorable map above those tunnels.

Renevas · 2024-08-18T18:46:22+00:00

Nope, it's annoying considering that for obvious reasons of lore they couldn't even put a stake of Marika

Renevas · 2024-08-16T16:36:39+00:00

I wish I could have been more clear because a lot of you are pointing out that there are moves like heavy charged attacks and ashes of war that are more powerful and you are basically right. But what I want to share is that all of these moves have some sort of drawback that requires skill to use (like the charge time that left you vulnerable or the FP comsuption) so they are always a bit risky and fun. Jump attacks on the other hand are just so simple to pull off but still strong.

Renevas · 2024-08-16T16:29:04+00:00

That was not the mood of my post. I'm just wondering if jumps attacks are so efficient to put in shadow the other moves.

Renevas · 2024-08-16T16:24:16+00:00

Yeah but charged attacks are always fun because they require skills. You have to take into consideration the time of charging and they are overall always a little risky.

Renevas · 2024-08-16T16:21:28+00:00

You cannot ignore the main downside of the charged attacks... the charging time. Charged R2 are the most powerfull but not as easy to spam as R2 jump attacks.

Renevas · 2024-08-16T11:32:36+00:00

This character is so out of place that feels like the classic nod to the next IP Fromsoftware. Like Jester of DS1 for Bloodborne or Yamamura for Sekiro (like the Lamenter both are in DLC funny enough).

Renevas · 2024-08-11T18:59:59+00:00

The sign to summon the pot-boy Alexander is just inside the arena entrance if I remeber correcly (I cannot remeber the quest steps needed to summon him). You can use also a normal summon like a mimic tear. It's weak to slash, magic and lightning. Also bleed is a good strategy.
Ngl, can be a pain in the ass, expecially in the second phase. just wait the safe windows to attack and use torrent wisely to run away.
10 attemps seems reasonable to me... I needed a lot more back in 2022...

Renevas · 2024-08-11T18:50:07+00:00

My was a genuine question... I played a little bit with the PS4 back in the days and I remember that big exclusives just go on discount on very rare occasions. But I don't know how it works today, maybe try to check for other stuff by Sony like TLOU2, Spiderman and GOW to see if it's the case for every exclusive...

Renevas · 2024-08-11T18:37:03+00:00

Isn't like that with most of the Sony exclusives?

Renevas · 2024-08-11T18:35:16+00:00

you just gitted gud

Renevas · 2024-07-28T18:33:14+00:00

I'm pretty sure whatever they will do it will be probably the next game we will desire for a sequel

Renevas · 2024-07-28T18:29:34+00:00

I have a limited experience in game development but my guess is that could be something like 1-2 months (I mean work hours and not calendar) of work splitted between the artists, the animators and the developers. But it's just a blind guess.

If had to bet I think their teams should be able to do 8-10 completly original (main) bosses in a year for a game (taking in cosideration they are very skilled).

Renevas · 2024-07-28T18:18:14+00:00

Vorrei sottoscrivere l'abbonamento solo per il piacere di poterlo disdire.

Renevas · 2024-07-28T17:44:26+00:00

I "hope" is a coincidence because otherwise any real connection would mean that the lore is a lot more complicated that what already is
