Literally no one outside of a few people on this website (like 100 people) have ever in their life heard these expressions. If you mention these or say it to anyone outside of this place they'll give you the fluoride stare and think you're schizophenic.

The true issue with souls-like games is that every boss boils down to
>roll to avoid the attack (usually from a big guy with a sword) even if the attack fucking flies through your character model and run away if it's impossible to roll through
when you know they can make more interesting encounters. There is no reason I should be fucking dodging through a boss like Radahn's attacks by jumping with a horse. I like these games for everything outside of the boss fights because I've done 90% of the fights in the game 100 times before and it's become beyond stale.
>>
>>729610790
yep, it's three in fact. dodge roll, and the attack button of choice, heavy, light? whatever, as long as they make the dodge roll come out faster

>>729612127

>>729610187
do a raycast to determine line of sight. use that to determine whether the enemy is aware of being attacked and whether he should react based on vision range and angle, hearing range, whether you're in stealth etc. add a reasonable reaction time then have the enemy attempt to dodge or block, go behind cover or whatever it does. even if there are multiple enemies who do react, you randomize reaction time and type so they aren't synchronized.
with more advanced ai they may be aware of each other, trying to use each other as shields or teaming up to attack you together.

I wonder what the poster wanted me to take away from this post. It doesn't really make a statement about quality, it only sort of describes what happens in some souls type quests, but never actually says why its good or bad. Thing is, I already played these games so I know what the quests are like. So what's the point at the end of it if you're not gonna at least share your opinion or a critique?
He says that the loot at the end of the quest is bad so... is that what it's about? A quest's quality is determined by if the loot is good then. So Ranni's quest is amazing because the DMGS is a really good weapon? I agree in that case.

There are two bells of awakening you have to ring. One is in undead burg at the top of the church through the gargoles. You get that? You just have to get to the top of the church belltower to ring the first bell of awakening! And the second one is actually at the very bottom! You have to go through the sewers in undead burg and find blighttown. There is a witch queen that guards the belltower in blight town, so you have to defeat her in order to ring the second bell of awakening that is at the very bottom, through the sewers of undead burg in blighttown. You should go for the belltower in the undead burg first, the one that is on top of the church, past the gargoyles! And then you should find the sewer key to enter the sewers and fight the demon witch in blighttown to ring the second belltower! That way you have rung both bells of awakening and that opens the next area of the game (mean story!)!

Combat isn't better just because it has more buttons. Nioh and Capcom games have all sorts of flippy dippy ninja bullshit you can do with your character but it doesn't actually matter in the end. What matters in Souls games is when you use your attacks. It really isn't different than other RPGs or FPSs in that regard. The only people who complain about this are the cringelords who like Capcom games, where you flip around like a ninja for honestly no reason because the enemies are just punching bags. It's entirely form over function, these gamers just want to play a character that looks cool and they don't actually care about the encounters. I don't think the average DMC fan can name a single enemy from their games because they're all just there to get "styled" on. MH fans can name the monsters in their game, though, because they have to grind them for "cool armor" lol

Because nobody talking about video games on the internet actually knows anything about video games anymore, I'm pretty sure 99% of people spouting the Zanzibart meme don't realize it's really based on Gray Fox's melodramatic death speech in MGS1, which starts with "AFTER ZANZIBAR...", Zanzibar being a country that is completely irrelevant to the game and had never been brought up before that point, which most players probably didn't know was a country, and which was referencing the previous game in the overall series (MG2) which was never released outside of Japan at the time. It seemed to be some random nonsense this dying faggot blurted out, like the Fromsoft meme.

Hope someone learned something today.

You should know, as it's a place where a Great Chimpout took place and the Ugandan nigger behind it ended up getting killed by Idi Amin, the African giganigga Hitler.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanzibar_Revolution
>During the revolution, Africans committed an orgy of violence against the South Asian and Arab communities, including thousands of women being raped by Okello's followers, and extensive looting and massacres of Arabs all over the island.
>Those travelling in the car convoy to the English Club were shocked to see the battered bodies of Arab men lying out on the streets of Stone Town with their severed penises and testicles shoved into their mouths.
>The American diplomat Don Petterson described this horror as he watched from his house a gang of African men storm the house of an Arab man, behead him in public with a panga, followed by screams from within his house as his wife and three children were raped and killed, followed by the same scene being repeated at the next house of an Arab, followed by yet another and another.
>Petterson wrote "Genocide was not a term that was as much in vogue then, as it came to be later, but it is fair to say that in parts of Zanzibar, the killing of Arabs was genocide, pure and simple".
Reading African history really makes you wish for TND.

Was watching pirates of the caribbean the other day and in the 3rd movie there is a zanzibart forgive me moment. Elizabeth gets captured by the chinese pirates and as the pirate lord is yapping they get sneak attacked and cannon'd. Hes dying and says elizabeth forgive me and makes her the new pirate lord to go to the conclave.
