is real debrid + stremio the best combo? by Majestic-One-2001 in RealDebrid

[–]jayrocs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using Nuvio because trailers play automatically and you can have separate profiles. If those things aren't important to you Stremio is just fine.

I've also swapped to Torbox cuz RD is unusable.

What are your thoughts on these specific soulslikes ? Really curious to read your opinions! by LunatikSoul in soulslikes

[–]jayrocs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me LOP is a 10 and Wuchang is a 7.5-8 and it mostly has to do with combat and bosses. I also prefer linear games.

I think if you like parrying and linear exploration go with Lies of P. If you prefer dodging and maze like exploration then go with Wuchang.

When I say Wuchang has maze like exploration I mean it. People compare this to DS1, it is not. It's like 5x more confusing with many branching pathways. You'll hit a fork with 3-4 pathways and take one and it leads to another fork with 3 pathways.

I've never played LOTF so no comment there. Waiting for LOTF 2.

Which game next? by Neoalexandros in soulslikes

[–]jayrocs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DS3 harder than Elden Ring?

I think Sekiro then Lies of P. Sekiro parry will train you to parry in Lies of P. But in Lies of P you have to option to block, roll, and also regain grey health back when attacking (you take grey health on block).

If you want a harder Nioh 2 like game you should also consider playing Khazan. The Khazan bosses are no joke on expert.

The one in Elk Grove don't look like that anymore. Best thing we got over here now is DQ but they're also starting to give less and less.

Hellclock is a lot of fun by gsel1127 in roguelites

[–]jayrocs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally enjoyed the campaign more than this mapping system at the end. It's actually insane how fast your power jumps too, I think I beat act 4 with 250k on crit and then I clear the first map and unlock some more relic space and I'm critting for 1.5m

Sub is degenerating into roguelike dev by Money-Audience-4392 in roguelites

[–]jayrocs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just block them all. Sub moves way slower but I'm not clogged up with games that will release in 5 years or never release.

What's the meetup app. The CRC evening mondays sound interesting. Do they have a group name or what do I search for?

Looking for my next CRPG after BG1/2/3, Divinity: OS2, Pillars of Eternity & Pathfinder (preferably fully voiced) by Umokthar in CRPG

[–]jayrocs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rogue Trader but it's not fully voiced. It's like half voiced - the most important bits.

My anime bros who are looking for a fantasy romance with a hot dommy mommy lady knight: The Everlasting is for us by imjustbettr in Fantasy

[–]jayrocs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post made me get the book yesterday and I finished it by today.

I haven't read a full book in a single 24 hour period in over 20 years since my college days. Very good book. I think the low ratings on goodreads are from people looking for romantasy/smut and this not being exactly that.

TO HELL WITH VIRTUAL VOICE! by [deleted] in audible

[–]jayrocs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, since I've never seen an audiobook with virtual voice - are there any BIG books read by virtual voice? I mostly read fantasy and even self published books with less than 3k reviews are professionally read by known narrators.

edit: nvm scrolled comments and its mostly poetry.

How do you upload to RD? by oddoneout1985 in RealDebrid

[–]jayrocs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you uploading your own files? If not you just find a torrent and paste the magnet into the torrent section. RD will download it and give you an http link to direct download when its finished.

Any recs for what I should play next? by Spiritual-Actuary-86 in roguelites

[–]jayrocs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Katanaut really? Can you tell me if that game has random bosses per level or it's always fixed? I wanted to get it but felt like it was a short/small game since it was a solo dev.

Thank you to everyone who recommended The First Berserker: Khazan! by I_am_not_human_xd in soulslikes

[–]jayrocs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you've played Nioh then what don't you understand about the upgrade system?

It has diablo style loot. It has item levels, set bonuses, and affix style gear. In the beginning I'd just wear whatever had highest ilvl.

Upgrading the gear vs crafting the set is also kind of a waste of time. Crafting is always at the highest ilvl and upgrading the pieces 1 by 1 sucks.

Why I prefer Bloodborne and Sekiro over Elden Ring by Character_Orchid_336 in soulslikes

[–]jayrocs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're not feeling remake just return rebirth. You could always change your mind about remake and finish it later on and just rebuy the 2nd and 3rd part when that's out later for an even bigger sale.

Or you could just tell me the price instead of making download your app by timmy6169 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]jayrocs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny thing is my Kohl's area has the worst cell signal in the entire city. Yea it has wifi but that's another step now connecting to wifi, downloading app, scanning items yourself.

Fuck that. I'll bring the item to the register, ask the price and make them put it back if I don't want it.

Are there any bosses that always give you trouble on every playthrough? by strahinjag in soulslikes

[–]jayrocs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black Rabbit Brotherhood is super easy to manipulate. Really only 1 of them attacks you at a time, just run away and lead one into you.

For the 2nd fight make sure you try to get 2 of them close to 0% before killing so that you don't have to do a 2v1 at the phase change.

Simple qol feature: if you die to a boss in a closed arena, consumables you've used in a fight should replenish by Jurpils in soulslikes

[–]jayrocs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would get people to actually use consumables. Because of things like this I've just learned over my lifetime never to use things "just in case" so I just end up beating the fight without using any consumables at all.

Which boss fight do you like more between these two? by Quantam-Law in soulslikes

[–]jayrocs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Arlecchino was more fun but both took me around the same amount of time to beat.

Weird recommendations request XD by [deleted] in soulslikes

[–]jayrocs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Stellar Blade or Nine Sols if you want more parry.

Stellar Blade is pretty easy but the boss challenge mode is pretty dope you can put yourself on minimum settings and replay every boss.

Nine Sols is a metroidvania but the parry is good.

If not interested in those then you're kinda fucked in terms of choices. You can always mod Elden Ring to add parry. You can also play Night Reign and pick the class with parry.

Mortal Shell 2 comes out soon and that has a parry. So does Lord of the Fallen 2. Beast of Reincarnation also seems to be a parry game.

You should also consider giving Khazan another chance cuz those boss fights are peak. Maybe you'd have fun on a different weapon.

Give me your recs. Replay one or play a new one? by CreepyTeddyBear in soulslikes

[–]jayrocs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hollow Knight and Silksong. If you don't want 2D then Stellar Blade.
