And Crimson Desert proved it. Thousands are getting filtered by easy bosses because they're too afraid to make the first attack and when they do attack they chicken out after doing their single heavy attack combo.Pic Related is an easy early game boss that got nerfed into oblivion because people didn't know how to parry. His multi hit attacks let you parry even if he hits you kek.
>>736498067>nerfed into oblivionHow does Dark Souls have anything to do with that?
>>736498579You should try reading posts before responding to them.
>>736498067but muh dark souls has parryable bosses
I beat this guy without understanding anything about the combat, I didn't realize you could parry. The tutorial was awful but also the keyboard controls are confusing, maybe i should try controller. I just spammed a million food items for him and the monkey boss in the castle
>>736498067Stop comparing it to dark souls for fucks sake.It's not that kind of game or even close to it.
>>736499620You played the patch that nerfed him.
>more difficult games ruined gamers because they're having trouble(???) with easier gamealso Souls games pioniered parry mechanics, peaking with Sekiro which was parry focused
>>736498067Bitch about it in your YouTube essay. I don’t care.
>>736499752And?
>>736498067>Parries aren't in Dark SoulsAre you retarded? DS1 basically forced you to learn parrying if you wanted to beat the final boss.
>>736500501See >>736498807The entirety of Dark Souls 1 is a brain dead exercise in waiting until the enemy attacks to do anything. In CD you need to pressure the bosses whilst looking for parries. The trick to beating pre nerf Reed Devil was to constantly stay in his face so he doesn't use the smoke attack to get free hits
>>736499703True, Crimson Desert is actually good.
>>736500501>DS1 basically forced you to learn parrying if you wanted to beat the final boss.How bad are you guys
>>736499034extremely inconsistent, so it's a mechanic generally nobody uses against bosses.what souls taught people is when the boss turn starts you become a passive bitch, fromcultist.
>>736498067So it’s a Sekirolike? That’s just a subgenre of dark souls.
Every fight in CD is a stat check.
>>736504234Wrong. Every fight in CD can be done without being hit, even pre nerfed Kearush. Kearush teaches you how to spam dodge hapazardly. Stats are there to help (you)
>>736505837teaches you how you shouldn't spam dodge haphazardly. You need to time each one*
>>736505837It's always illuminating how you faggots miss the most basic of guidance and game design because>if you do a perfect input 30 times in a row for 20 minutes, you can actually kill it before you are supposed to
>>736506238>20 minutesThis isn't Dragon's Ligma. Defense has diminishing returns and only reduces damage by a %. You will always be dealing some damage and it's easy to get damage right out the gate.
>>736505982That, and when he winds up for the 6 hitter, you're supposed to go vertical to escape. Almost every single boss I have fought so far has had a mechanic that is a strong counterplay that doesn't involve ONGBAL tier reflexes.
>>736507707and dont forget the back hang to escape oppressive pressure and reset the pace
>>736507707Seriously I was having more time with mobs because you actually can't reasonably avoid all of their attacks, especially after they introduce strong ranged ones like the flying wizards. But I was able to reapproach them by taking things slower and sniping them before dealing with the melee mobs.
>>736500501Play sorc bro.
>>736498067Even if you don't attack first, you can just use focus for FREE parries.
The jew goblin king at the beginning gave me some trouble. I was kind of surprised. This guy didn't. I spent a lot more time acquiring abyss shit for Reed Devil than I did for the white goblin though.
>>736498067>playing Korean gamesCouldn‘t be me.
>>736510302>crying about gamesCouldn't be me.
>seething about passive play dark souls 1what year is itare you claiming soulsfags never played sekiro or bloodborne, which actively untrained this
>>736510801>sekiro or bloodbornefor a bit. until elden ring + DLC immediately retrained everyone
>>736498067dark souls? that dog shit game where i cant slash because the wall blocks me? and every little hit stuns me for some reason? and the only people bragging are those running the tank builds?im good you faggots
It's MMO combat, seamonkey. There's no depth at all.
>>736500501what, I beat that shit with no parry with a large club.
>>736498067>getting filtered by skyrim for zoomers because they played dark souls, a game with infinitely more engaging combatlmao what
I'll be honest I'm like 3 hours into the game and have no idea how to block or parry (I'm on PC)
>>736511284Koreans use any method they can to defend CD, no matter how retarded it sounds.
>>736498067
>>736511284>Dark Souls>Engaging combatAlmost had me there
Are the shills engaging with their own bait or are people still biting?
>>736511523I think this game could use a tutorial mode desu just to show people how dodging and bosses work. They game also needs either a boss rush mode or respawning bosses
>>736511284Dork Souls wishes it could have combat this good https://youtu.be/tni9ECFwmwc?si=Bk81PdZsFTte9Jzh
>>736503202>extremely inconsistentskill issue
>>736499620>Didn't realize your could parryDid you refuse to look at your skills?
>>736498067Wait what people are struggling with the bosses? All the main quest bosses I've beaten on the first try except for the crow guy. The only thing I find odd is how many of the random bosses on the map 1 or 2 shot you though.
>>736505837>KearushHe's built around using fire to stunlock his ass. He goes from being a pain in the ass to a joke the moment you light him up.
>>736516852You can do that or you can fight him without exploiting that weakness. I thought it was really fun. If you spam dodge he will hit you, but if you get the rythm you can dodge each hit aside from the ones where you're supposed to force palm junp. Too bad it's a one time fight
how can you have a hard time with this game when you can literally heal infinitely
>>736517332If you heal through bosses it doesn't feel good when you beat them. That's where the complaints about the bosses come from. In reality they don't know how to basic things like step combos or combo resets whilst being absolutely terrible at dodging/parrying and then complain that the bosses are unfair. I personally only stock a few healing items and just retry if I mess up
>>736498067I don't care about your bait thread someone help me. The faggot who kept firing bullets at me in bloodborne accidentally fell off the tower and I can't retrieve his item. It's in old yarnhamif I quit the game will the item still be there or lost
>>736517849I don't know about bloodborn, but usually in souls games the item will reappear where the NPC's spawn is when you reload.
>>736518179thanks
>>736517849quit and reloadhis shit will reappear at the top of the stairs
>>736518342thanks indeed
>>736500501>DS1 basically forced you to learn parrying if you wanted to beat the final boss.Gwyn isn't hard without parrying, it just turns him from a pretty easy boss into a total pushover.
>>736498067Skill. Issue. If anything, Dark Souls made hardier, bolder gamers.
>>736519929That's untrue because the games are easy that games journos can beat them
>>736520964No they can't, journos always lie.
Sell me on this game. Is it actually good or am I gonna get memed on by chinks again like when I bought the monkey game.
>>736498067>because they're too afraid to make the first attackthis isnt a problem because of souls. you can make the first attack in souls vs many bosses. The actual problem is that most gamers are simply complete fucking dogshit at video games and even games like elden ring were nerfed into the fucking ground a few weeks after release.
>>736521028The IGN journalist was a professed dark souls veteran and he got filtered by the first boss in Crimson Desert.
>>736515261>spamming slowmo in an open field with human soldiers>spamming slowmo in an open field with human soldiers, but greenwoah
>>736521180>a lying jew liedyes
>>736521180>professed dark souls veteranThey only pretend to like souls nowadays because it might give them online gamer cred. Remember they all sucked off skyrim for GOTY over dark souls in 2011
