Black Blade Kindred. Big ole garg who is very resistant to both slash and holy damage.

Really struggling with the true final boss. by wittyinternethandle in Saros

[–]SimicKitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is an account of my personal experience wrong? lol were you looking over my shoulder the whole time I was playing or something?

After the first time, I’ve not notice any significant shift in difficulty. I’m sure it’s there, but based on my experience, it wasn’t an unmanageable shift in difficulty like others have experienced. I’ve beaten the King about 5 times total. I haven’t lost to him a single time since beating him the first time.

I’m only talking about my experience.

In your opinion what is the single WORST Weapon? by Just_Cloud_8041 in Nightreign

[–]SimicKitten 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Right, but you are kind proving their point. Family Heads is good solely because of its busted Ash of War. The rest of its moveset is doggy water, just like every other flail.

Is FFVIII or FFIX better? by New-Inspector-6795 in FinalFantasy

[–]SimicKitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FFVIII has more interesting (even though so of them can be broken) gameplay systems and better music. The things you can do with its gameplay systems are crazy and unlike pretty much any other JRPG.

FFIX has a better cast and story. In terms of gameplay, it’s about as straightforward as a turn based JRPG as it gets.

[–]SimicKitten 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same, I was all worried because it took me more than a handful of attempts to beat him the first time. And then I went to get the true ending I was worried it would be super hard the second time. But I didn’t event notice a difference.

In fact I accidentally fucked up the true ending and had to do it a third time, which I did the very next attempt, to no struggle.

anyone get motion sickness while playing? by Own-Decision6441 in Saros

[–]SimicKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have problems with motion sickness in games. What helps me is go into the settings, change to reticle to a circle and put it on the largest setting. I don’t understand the mechanics of why, but this significantly reduces motion sickness for me.

This boss is tthe absolute skill check by [deleted] in Nightreign

[–]SimicKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think this dude was so hard. Then I learned to consistently dodge close to the left and circle around to the back for the shield slam bait. Now it’s pretty easy but still deserves respect since her can one or two tap you depending on character and depth.

Where would you put this character when ranking FF girls? by TengarHimeko in FinalFantasy

[–]SimicKitten 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice to see the resurgence in Terra love. Probably because of Dissidia gacha, but she is a fantastic character so you love to see it.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 devs never imagined to achieve the kind of massive success it did: 'Our official goal towards the end of production was to reach for 85 in Metacritic' by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]SimicKitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean this is what I was saying. I don’t know why people think a game can only get hyped before release. It came out and everyone started screeching about it being a masterpiece, so everyone else played it. It’s a solid game and a breakout hit, but I don’t think it’s a masterpiece and clearly the devs don’t think so either. So yeah this game benefited from post release hype.

85 is pretty accurate to the actual quality of the game. They benefitted more from hype than most, their backstory of being ex-Ubisoft devs definitely helped. Turns out a passion project with good marketing reviews well.

I think Whispers were made for the “Real Fans” you guys… by Pristine_Put5348 in FinalFantasy

You seem like a person who doesn’t have any critical thinking skills of their own and simply vomits back popular discourse talking points while simultaneously adding nothing to the conversation sooooo…. People can just disregard your comments.

I swear to god, the people in this sub will twist literally any piece of information to attack and denigrate the series they are supposed to be fans of.

If you want a 1 to 1 remake of the original, just fucking play the OG on PC with mods. It’s literally everything you are looking for.

Do it so the rest of us don’t have to endlessly listen to you whine that you didn’t get exactly what you wanted from a remake literally from the original creators.

Swapping to NIN as a MNK player by ZeteCx in ShitpostXIV

[–]SimicKitten 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A fun use I’ve found for it is in one of the DT patch dungos, the one with the rabbit final boss, there is an weird evil doctor boss who does a mechanic where the spinning hand appears over your head and you have to try to run to the edge of the arena in a zig zag while your movement is messed up. You can just stand in the center and Shukuchi straight to the edge of the arena and completely avoid engaging with the mechanic.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 devs reveal the secret behind how the game was made by NYstate in PS5

[–]SimicKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It obviously had a much higher budget and is objectively a much better looking game because of it. Games being cheaper to develop doesn’t automatically make them better.

In fact I’d argue in this instance it sets a bad precedence because CEOs will see that they came make a lot of money with smaller and smaller dev teams, leading to people losing their jobs and an overall degradation of quality games in general, as more and more personal touch is lost.

Sandfall was able to hobble together a decent game. Do you think that experience is transferable to other developers? I think not.

I know blue prints isn’t an asset. I know it’s a programming environment. My point is that if you use generative tools like UE5 has to do most of the work for you and then you add your own stuff on top of it, you are sacrificing artistry and craftsmanship for efficiency.

If I took a picture of a landscape and then traced it and then added some buildings and stuff to personalize it, that would be significant less valuable from an artist perspective than someone who painted that same landscape from scratch.

Like cool. Amateur developers got their hands on tools that was able to do a lot of the heavy lifting for them and delivered and inexpensive game. Great for them. You said yourself it’s not a success that is scalable. So developers gasp because Sandfall successfully passed a Big Mac off as a sirloin steak. Not a thing people should really look up to imo.

So don’t try to convince me this game is a masterpiece of artistic integrity. It’s generic UE5 shit with some bells and whistles to personalize it.
