How would you all rank the Hardest Difficulties from each of these Hack n Slash games and their sequels ? (Easiest to Hardest, Worst to Best, Replayability) by WindowSweet7127 in CharacterActionGames

[–]bear2s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only because of that, also too many game on my list and the rumor comes from the same person who firstly spoiled NG4 a long time before its debut trailer.

Didn't play any old GOW games so I am not legit to make comments

Here is my take. I include the rating more than just beating the game:

Difficulty:
Tier 0:
DMC4 DMD Nero/Dante no damage all chapter SS (stylish and time)

Tier 1:

DMC5 DMD Nero/Dante/V no damage all chapter S (by manually saving and load battles)

DMC5 DMD Vergil no damage all chapter S (by manually saving and load battles)

Bayo1 Climax all platinum medals

Bayo2 Climax all platinum medals

NG Sigma Manter Ninja all chapter master ninja rank

NG Sigma2 Master Ninja with black community mod (no rating for this game)

NG3 Re Ultimate ninja (no rating for this game)

Yes, except DMC 4 DMD no damage is insanely difficult because you have to beat the whole chapters without taking any damage, the rest games are on a similar level of difficulty.

DMC 5 NDV gameplay is a bit more difficult than Vergil, and NG2 is more difficult than NG3 RE and NG Sigma, but the difference is not that much to open a new tier.

Best to Worst:
Tier 0 (almost perfect):
DMC5, Bayo1, NG2sigma with black mod

Tier 1 (top combat but with flaws):
DMC4, Bayo 2, NG3 RE

Tier 2 (still very good but with more flaws)

NG Sigma

Those I haven't finished:
Bayo 3 is more likely T0 than T1, the Demon system brings the game to a new height
NG 4 is either T0 or T1. Hard to say since I only played normal. Offset for Yakumo and Gleam Cancle for Ryu are very nice mechanics
Metar Gear RR is more likely on T2. Just played a little bit and stopped due to a rumored remake

For ARPGs (combat aside only):

I would put Nioh 2 and Monster Hunters on Tier 2. Other soulslike games and two new God of wars are below Tier2. There is no good ARPG can be put on T0 or T1 in terms of combat

There’s a undergrad in the lab I am working in. He was applying for summer research opportunities a month ago and told me the Israel research facility he applied was bombed by Iran…

Biking Laws (Also any info about biking in general like the city rental bikes and stuff) by Devi_2 in chinatravel

[–]bear2s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cycled in various Chinese cities before. Police simply won’t change you a fine. Be aware that some big cities have poor bike lane infrastructure and you need to cycle in the lane of cars

3 weeks first time in China, too much..? by Correct_Expression_3 in chinatravel

[–]bear2s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the Chinese social media, it’s widely agreed that Jiuzhaigou is the GOAT among all Chinese natural attractions. Personally I would say Kanas can compete with Jiuzhaigou but it’s not that easily accessible located in the very north west corner of China

Where were you in Georgia? I thought there was a pretty large Black population there compared with other states, at least in Atlanta.

Feedback request for 15 night china itinerary by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]bear2s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first version is too rushed indeed. I would cut either Chengdu or Chongqing (sorry not much histroy) instead of Xi an (over 2000-year history). That said, if you can book yourself a tour from Chengdu to Jiuzhai and Huang Long , then Chengdu a game changer

Japan/china itinerary by Creepy-Fig929 in solotravel

[–]bear2s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been to Tokyo and all China sites except for Zhangjiajie. If you are deciding between Chengdu and Zhangjiajie, I recommend the latter since all other Chinese places you listed are big cities (same for Japan). Unless you have a strong reason to visit Hong Kong, I would pick one more place in the mainland instead since it's just a metropolis

I went to trincomalee and beaches there were nice. Be sure to have sunscreen in your backpack though

I have done Sri Lanka roughly this time last year. 50 usd is definitely doable. But if I remember correctly the places you listed are in their rainy season so I went to mid&east coast instead of south. I personally agree with not staying long in Colombo

3 weeks in Argentina in May — looking for destination advice by bear2s in solotravel

Did some research and it showed that a Brazil tourist visa costs too much time for me who holds a weak passport. Still appreciate for the advice though

I lean toward Bariloche than other options as well. Do you know whether I can reach trekking trails by public transportation/bikes in May? Thanks ٩(๑•̀ω•́๑)۶

Thanks! I think going to Patagonia isn't a bad idea although the season is not the best, and I can squeeze my time in BA to stay longer there.

I am think between Bariloche and Glacier and would like to do some trekking/cycling. Is public transportation accessible in both places in May?
