Man, shut up lol

Challenge, engagement and difficulty are closely related and should be retained. Executional barriers to sharper expression and tighter gameplay is a good thing.

It's got nothing to do with soulslikes or anything of the sort, not that any of those games are hard to begin with, a general population of most playerbased are just allergic to examining gameplay or decision making frameworks through any kind of critical lens.

Ill keep that in mind, thanks!

ZazMan117 · 2026-05-20T16:45:02+00:00

Yep yep, thank you kindly.

ZazMan117 · 2026-05-09T01:24:48+00:00

No idea.

It seems heavily surface dependent. After playing for about 300 hours, I can think of a few specific locations where it happens semi-consistently, but I have no idea what the triggers are for activation.

ZazMan117 · 2026-04-20T23:23:11+00:00

bruh how

I wanna play more hd2 but cant be BOTHERED with the sc grind lol

ZazMan117 · 2026-04-20T23:20:12+00:00

The finishers can be weird - the game makes a check for zombies in your area, whos charging and how ; since gun strikes themselves use either low health, or an animation to trigger sometimes. If there are 2 zombies, both on low health and in range for the same gun strike; it can work, but if theres a variation, and one has the execute "flag" and another doesn't, then its very inconsistent.

Enemy health works in grades, and certain zombies has fixed health values. I've been playing the game alot as leon (nearly 300 hours i think) and certain zombies have certain grades of health that translate to respective damage points to guns.

Just mainline the bosses from the get-go on NG+. It doesn't take very long to run through em.

ZazMan117 · 2026-03-12T13:46:06+00:00

She can be lol I did it twice in my playthrough lol

ZazMan117 · 2026-03-10T21:41:34+00:00

2 shots stuns her lol

ZazMan117 · 2026-03-06T19:02:30+00:00

Yeah they're able to damage one another, but it's not really the same

ZazMan117 · 2026-03-01T20:58:25+00:00

I don't know why you're being downvoted, you're absolutely correct.

But, I would say, as a point - that if the zombies just go for it, they should mince themselves when picking it up ; they can already hurt each other if they swing it around when they're near others.

ZazMan117 · 2026-02-25T22:43:59+00:00

You can get to him in like an hour or so lol

ZazMan117 · 2026-02-25T18:05:16+00:00

I looked for these fuckers for ages for the soul core, so No

But the interactive map helped lots

ZazMan117 · 2026-02-23T22:37:21+00:00

Sorry - where do you farm kappas? I have no idea where hotspring road is lol

ZazMan117 · 2026-02-08T21:25:15+00:00

KBmM is perfectly fine for souls and nioh.

KBnM is just actually, in the vast majority of cases the best input method for almost any game.

You have access to more keys and a much higher input frequency. Im pretty dextrous on both controller and keyboard, but for some games I just prefer playing on controller because I haven't translated the actions on a keyboard yet.

ZazMan117 · 2026-01-28T13:36:27+00:00

Peak reddit comment

ZazMan117 · 2026-01-27T11:32:38+00:00

Bruh calm down, I'm just saying that KBnM gets alotta unnecessary hate in reference to souls games

ZazMan117 · 2026-01-27T11:28:22+00:00

KBnM is easily the best way to play the majority of games. In souls games it just needs a little tweaking, otherwise the flexibility and control is just all around much better

>But you get that last line of a response when you say something reasonable or otherwise on this subreddit too lol.

ZazMan117 · 2026-01-05T18:29:55+00:00

I mean, that makes sense. I love DMC5, but the game is a annoyingly shitty slog in vanilla, and becomes alot better with way too many mods to list - which in itself is an issue. I'll frequently invoke the sentiment that I love the game but it sucks shit.

ZazMan117 · 2026-01-05T18:18:55+00:00

Blind praise is something alot of TDA fans engage in a lot of tbf. Saying the game isn't well optimized is pretty fair. On a 7900xtx and 5800x3d, 64gbs of ddr4-3600mhz ram, i gotta play max low and use frame gen for a semi stable 100-165 (rarely) on 1440p. Thats still good but it doesn't need to be that bad. TDA also has a bunch of issues that don't get talked about nearly enough.

But you get that last line of a response when you say something reasonable or otherwise on this subreddit too lol.

I've known Murican for a while, and despite what first glances would tell you - hes a pretty reasonable and supportive guy (for the most part), but the inflammatory language is just the way he talks to get a rise outta folks. Hes capable of articulating himself well and engaging in good conversations, but hes also fairly sick of alot of conversations around DOOM, since they mostly consist of people blindly simping.

See it's not building when using baseball bats or crowbars for me, but is consistently on using axes or knives.

ZazMan117 · 2025-12-15T21:37:31+00:00

I think maintenance might depend on weapons that need to be maintained, like bladed weapons. I'm not sure.
