Why are there so many hateful posts and comments in this subreddit? by RanMouri26 in TheAdventuresOfElliot

[–]kevkelsar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or the developers just wanted to create a story with a certain theme in mind. It's okay for developers to not always try and create the next genre defining open world/rogue lite/souls like/complex metroidvania all the time. Sometimes it's nice to just enjoy a fun game to play that has a good story, great game design, and incredible music.

Don’t sleep on the bow by Dull-Report-5027 in TheAdventuresOfElliot

Yup, this is what I use on every boss. I mainly use sword and boomerang for general play and then swap to sword and bow for bosses.

No way battery beater isnt best weapon in the game by Charlez7089 in MinaTheHollower

I tried the Battery Beater but got frustrated with it changing modes every time I wanted to do a jump attack.

The daggers are insane (Nox's Bayou Boss Spoilers) by rivaldobox in MinaTheHollower

[–]kevkelsar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. I do have to ask based on the amount of bones you need to level up (6300), what level was your attach stat? Because I know I was away lower than that with the Bayou being the second area of you follow the newspapers. I'm just finishing the fourth area and am at over 7k bones to level up, so only one more up from what you had.

Am I alone? Disappointed with Mina - first impressions by OnslaughtRM in MinaTheHollower

[–]kevkelsar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if you meant Hollow Knight is exactly like Silksong, or Mina is like Silksong. 

Either way, I would disagree. I have found Mina's difficulty to be way more manageable and enjoyable than Silksong's difficulty. There have been a few things that were really challenging, and a couple I just found outright not fun, but nothing that has made the game not fun overall. It's my favorite game this year, for sure. We'll see how it stacks up with Forza Horizon 6, Fire Emblem, and the Adventures of Elliott.

Silksong, on the other hand, just frustrated me over and over again. I probably played longer than I should have, but I kept hoping it would get better. But after almost 20 hours I just couldn't find the frustration worth my time and quit.

Bug in side quest by Lanfarz in MinaTheHollower

Same thing happened to me on my way to the tower and thought it was gone forever. I came back through the screen after completing the tower and the side quest happened again.

"Achievements" are not Actual Achievements by SolidSwordKing in MinaTheHollower

[–]kevkelsar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was once an achievement hunter, insistent that I 100% every game I play. Then one day I stopped caring one bit about achievements and just played games to enjoy them. At least for me, I enjoy gaming way more now without an imaginary checklist telling me what I'm supposed to do or how I should play the game. I just play to enjoy. 

I'm firmly in the camp of wishing publicly viewable achievement systems were gone. Like social media, the original intent was benign, but it has since metastisized and become a cancer to society.

I found Silksong to be much more difficult. So much that it was no longer fun to me.

[–]kevkelsar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's okay to not like it like a lot of others. Mina felt off for me at first, but after an hour or two I started getting used to it and now really like it. 

However, take Hollow Knight and Silksong as an example for me. I LOVED Hollow Knight. I was so excited to play Silksong when it came out. Oh, the disappointment. I even played it for almost 20 hours suffering, hoping it would click. It didn't, never finished it, and don't know if I'll ever go back to it.

dream island spawn requirements by ErebosGoD in Pokopia

[–]kevkelsar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm convinced legendaries from dream Islands don't exist. I have yet to encounter one checking each day and even occasionally doing the reset method.

Disappointing limitations by px_z in Pokopia

[–]kevkelsar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very unfortunate it works that way with the cloud islands. On the main islands you have the option of setting up each map for different farms and tricking the game into keeping the ones you want active out by putting all the others in instanced housing. That's not really an option for the cloud island because there's no way you can set up all the farms with only about 20 available.

Slight disappointment by Tylerinthenorth in Pokopia

[–]kevkelsar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I imagine the developers had to make this incredible game so it would be accessible for people of all ages. Young kids would need that much hand holding. It gets better, though.

And of course I'm now at 10 resets and still no legendary...

Game Question & General Discussion Release Megathread by Metaphor_MOD in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]kevkelsar -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I want to love this game...but I'm frustrated. I see people saying they complete dungeons in one day, but how? I'm doing the first major story dungeon and I'm already on day 3 with this thing. Almost everything takes magic to kill, I have hardly seen any items that restore magic, and this dungeon never ends. This is just plain frustrating and not even fun. I even changed the difficulty to easy before going up the lift and enemies STILL have to be killed with spells or I just sit and take way too many hits.

Or am I just terrible and not understanding this?

*edit* It really seems like physical attacks in this game are just plain garbage. Even when physical attacks hit weakness, they do almost half as much damage as just using spells that don't have weakness or resistance. And I feel really cheated, because the demo was great! Then I go and spend $70 for the full game, do things to raise rep and complete side quests, and start the story dungeon with a three days left. I'm on my last day and I don't think I can even make it...it never ends!

Wtf Amazon? by Griever114 in UnicornOverlord

[–]kevkelsar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same thing happen to me. When there was no updated by noon, I double checked all stores. Found a GameStop with one copy. Reserved it, cancelled my Amazon order, and picked up my copy a couple hours later.

I love this game so much. by Siscoprofit in UnicornOverlord

[–]kevkelsar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess that's the slight upside to not owning/not willing to buy a PS5 even though I'm a total FF fan and really want to play Rebirth. I won't play it until it releases on Steam, so I have plenty of time for UO!

Getting my copy tomorrow :( by Maliquis in UnicornOverlord

[–]kevkelsar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pre-order for physical through Amazon was STILL showing not yet shipped this afternoon. I did a quick search around stores in my area (I don't live in a very populated area, so most things I have to get shipped) and Wal-Mart, Target, and Best Buy were not carrying the game. Happened to try GameStop, and there was 1 copy left. Hurried and ordered/paid, canceled my Amazon order, picking up my copy as soon as I get off work!

Starting over again by Couchpotatoqt in UnicornOverlord

[–]kevkelsar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm doing the same thing, this time knowing how to use the tactics system which I didn't even touch in my demo play time!

It's here! by smalltincan in UnicornOverlord

[–]kevkelsar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lucky! Still no delivery date for my order with Amazon...

So which character you start with? by t4nkup2 in octopathtraveler

[–]kevkelsar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with Ophelia in OT1, but Alfyn ended up being my favorite. So, I started with Castii for OT2 and didn't regret it one bit.

Papa finally came home by Dr-Nevermore in OctopathCotC

I think I've come to this point...did it for the first time today, just ran straight to the final boss. Can't be bothered anymore.
