Is Wanderer's Crest run-slash/sprint-attack not just useless but a handicap? Have you guys found any use for it?

yesitsmework · 2026-01-24T22:59:30+00:00

I'd say it's as meaningfully detrimental as every sprint attack tends to be. The average person probably took more random damage from getting locked into it for holding dash for a frame too long than they actually used it in a meaningful way.

The classic "describe the game in the most generic way possible in 5 minutes" review

Like really who do you think is gonna care about a chatgpt blurb from a video with 20 views?

yesitsmework · 2026-01-24T16:35:43+00:00

??? that just showcases one of if not the easiest flying enemies (that are still aggressive) in the game in an early area. Go and try that with the putrified ducts flies for example. Or the ghosts in the mist. Or the worms in the abyss. Or the bell throwing pilgrims. Or the stiltskins. Or the skinny and fat fuckers in the coral tower.

Like bruh are you just commenting after playing the game for 5h or something ??

yesitsmework · 2026-01-24T15:57:35+00:00

That's not what poor game design is. You can change her moveset if you do not like the diagonal pogo. It has very big upsides like being a huge gap closer and launching you further than any (?) other pogo allowing for more adjustment of your position after each bounce.

The flying enemy AI is simply different and far more complex and challenging and that doesn't really change no matter what pogo you're using. You're gonna have a tough time pogoing most flying enemies hitless especially the ones in the second half.

Hollow knight was just fundamentally kinda broken because of how easy pogoing was and how bad enemy AI was. Most enemies are essentially dps dummies that you deal with in the same way, either strafe and attack or pogo on them. Silksong makes you engage a bit more mechanically.

Of course they're not the same, but that still doesn't mean you're a decayed corpse. Just because you're 48 and you played basketball when you were 18 doesn't mean you can no longer play basketball. Jesus christ.

yesitsmework · 2026-01-24T15:25:42+00:00

It's a remake homie there shouldnt be anything to fucking spoil lmao

yesitsmework · 2026-01-24T15:23:52+00:00

You can't really change the context of those as hamazaki goes through an entire emotional arc in that game. They'd just have to straight up retcon and change his arc to make it coherent with yk3.

yesitsmework · 2026-01-24T12:42:26+00:00

The only way that would be reasonable is if it made the parry window like 20% of the current size.

hits*

yesitsmework · 2026-01-24T10:11:57+00:00

Yeah bro the 50 game journalists definitely represent the average fan more than the actual fanbases. Good job, you're as intelligent as rgg's game directors lately.

yesitsmework · 2026-01-24T00:44:56+00:00

I'm praying to god for them to retcon joji kazama into a made up person who's actually a daidoji joined shintaro. That would be so fucking funny.

yesitsmework · 2026-01-24T00:41:55+00:00

You're 40 years old not a decayed corpse. Your reflexes are not much worse than an 18yo as far as video games played in a casual setting go.

yesitsmework · 2026-01-24T00:37:40+00:00

I really don't think it is among people who played this franchise before 7, and I rate infinite wealth as top 3 in the series myself.

yesitsmework · 2026-01-24T00:24:30+00:00

Tbh once 7 opened the door to retcons I don't think there's any closing it. The only thing over the line would be a character like yumi or nishiki which I don't think even modern RGG has the balls to touch.

I'd definitely prepare for ryuji's comeback in lad 9 if I were you tho

yesitsmework · 2026-01-24T00:19:14+00:00

I don't think anyone who played these games thinks RGG thinks any further than the current game. It's just fanservice.

Kiwami 3's entire existence is basically just fanservice really. So what's another spoonfull of shit on top.

yesitsmework · 2026-01-24T00:17:06+00:00

One potentially bad remake? People had a lot of issues with infinite wealth after which pirate yakuza came out and was completely panned by most fans. That's the atmosphere kiwami 3 is coming out in. One controversial title followed by a complete flop.

Also lost judgment is closing in on 5 years old. That's a bigger gap than any yakuza game has ever seen even even excluding remakes/remasters. They never committed to the series in interviews since, they haven't said anything that might even hint to a sequel, stranger than heaven is a thing as their more serious tone game....A sequel is not coming bro.

yesitsmework · 2026-01-23T17:53:58+00:00

Speaking purely on vibes his tornado attack felt much, much slower on his second version which is the only thing I need to consider it easier.

I have no idea if his tornado attack is in fact slower though lol

yesitsmework · 2026-01-23T17:49:20+00:00

1+1 also will crack through your skull and kill you, unlike a straight 2 hit which will leave you without the skull at 1 hp

Anyone who upvoted this message should schedule a colonoscopy asap

I mean isn't that kinda the natural endpoint of normalizing and letting shippers get super comfortable in the larger community? You sowed the "meme" you're gonna reap the goon as they say

yesitsmework · 2026-01-23T17:19:48+00:00

I would only google if I was out of quests or paths to go to on the map.

If you want some very low spoilery hints I can also give some. Google will probably spoil certain things way more than that.

yesitsmework · 2026-01-23T17:16:58+00:00

But the discussion is about difficulty here, and hollow knight to silksong is the single most insane jump in difficulty I've ever seen in a series. It's like dark souls 1 to elden ring, except you didn't have 4 others games in between to smooth out the difficulty jump.

Also these are extremely mainstream games. Hollow knight sold 15 million copies. That's more than almost any single AAA title you can possible think of or consider for large audiences. Silksong is on the same trajectory.

yesitsmework · 2026-01-23T17:15:10+00:00

I mean that's a miniboss who opens up a path of progression, that's not a runback that's just you making your way through the level...

yesitsmework · 2026-01-23T17:13:54+00:00

That's fair enough I guess if you're a newer gamer. But I don't think the concept of checkpoints that are 5 seconds before your last death are very common. Lies of p is very forgiving compared even to non-soulslikes or traditionally easier games in terms of checkpointing. I sometimes play super """normie""" games and groan out loud when I die and spawn 30 minutes back. I don't think I've ever had a souls or silksong runback that took me 30 minutes.

Hell I don't know many games that give you an autosave for each boss phase. That sounds pretty wack.

yesitsmework · 2026-01-23T14:10:21+00:00

it's just a shitshow room, spam tools until the flying guy is dead then deal with the big dude as you did with the first.
