Ok but can I sit like a normal person in the game yet? What about the resting animation in bonfires, do i still take fire damage if i sit there too long? Also where is my auto-sheathe toggle?
>>
I genuinely wonder how they plan to remap the controls on a controller
>>
>>737169465
Only thing that needs remapping is dodge and roll.
Dodge needs to be on press and roll on double tap or hold.
As it is now roll is on press and uses loads of stamina where dodge is on double tap and uses no stamina and has fast iframes.
Its stupid roll was on single tap to begin with. Double tap is inconsistent too.

idk if they are aware but the camera also locks up iften in combat. I have the setting where I can freely move camera in lock on and the soft lock locks the camera up occasionally. Its a pain in the ass.
I expect they will add things like being able to remap the L and R buttons, like L2 for block. Probably jump and sprint buttons too.

I am too far into the game to massively remap my controls now, only want press to dodge and hold to roll.

i already got bored of this game, once you realize you are doing the exact same thing over and over for no reason it loses its luster. do a quest where you tackle an npc and bring him to jail. do a quest where you take over a random spot, kill a boss that usually has moves youve seen from another boss already. thats it wats the point

NO, that is awful. It already has dynamic difficulty in the same way a Souls game does: If you're struggling, grind a bit.

>>737168673
>Also new mod that uses currency instead of skill points
I'm fairly early in the game (ch3? ch4? I don't remember but I'm looking for greymanes) and I'm being too fucking stupid with inventory and money. I still don't know what to sell, what not to sell, what I'm fucking up and never getting again. I found a cave with diamonds and I'm never letting go of those. I don't know what to donate to the camp. I collected all of these things that seem like furniture, I'm not fond of decorating this house, should I sell all of that shit or is there an actual point to it?
To make matters worse I just found out that you can refine weapons by using 2 of the same so now I'm collecting weapons too.
>>
>>737170595
>this fixes jump too
I am on PS5
I would also not mod games on the first playthrough anyway and this game is probably a game I will only play once as it is so big.
Defo gonna be a 500 hour game for me.

I dont have an issue with L3 though. Other than raw aiming the grapple on enemies is weak, it should grapple them via soft lock.
>>
>>737170480
You are a retard then.
I am 200+ hours in and constantly seeing new system and elements and there is very little repeatable content.

Yeah you are being inventory autismo. Let me help you out a bit.

Shit like diamonds etc, well the nodes respawn but you want to farm them and save all the craft mats anyway.
Even the surplus mats you can use to upgrade alternate gear later on so save it (or use it)

Furniture is nothing, unless you like the look of it, sell it.
With maybe a few exceptions like you will get trophies from little mini game tourneys, and you can tell they are rather unique.
All other shit is just random shit you can find or even buy.

Gear and weapons, well shit you find in flashing treasure chests or that drop from bosses are fully unique. Everything else you will be able to craft when you find the books. Or buy later on.
Don't be bothered hoarding it.

Keep all your abyss gears even trash ones and take them off of gear before you sell it as you can flip that shit and reroll for better stuff later.

I get you with the weapons like I save(ed) shit like pickaxes and used them to level up other pickaxes but at a point you will need to use other resources, skill points to level them up and until that phase its just iron, copper ect that is found frequently.
no need to horde any of it.

Bugs, plants, food, outside of a few ingredients like palmer leaves, skyroot, ginseng and red sea weed (maybe more) they are all just generic shit and interchangeable.
If you can hoard stacks, do it, but no big deal as you can go and farm it if you ever need it.
Later you can farm everything too. With the literal farm.

>>737170953
Hold square and press L3, you dont need to be precise with it and if you do you can stand still or if in the air domit from glide and use focus.
its only in combat where it becomes rather annoying as by the time it has extended where you were aiming the enemy has moved.
After a throw it has an insta capture though.
Should be like that from lock on too, soft lock ideally. That is the only issue with it.

Every part of the story, area you go to, major side quest has new mechanics, systems and gear that is opening up the games systems and mechanics further.

Every major puzzle and abyss I have seen is completely different too.

I hope the game gets crossbows and pikes because rn 2h axes for kliff are just spears basically

Don;t think it has been cracked but honestly this game actually deserves the money, support.
Its a tope tier game in a top tier and unique engine and with the money and morale they get from sales of this they will be putting their passion into dokeV

This game has got me even more hyped for DokeV as I can just imagine the sheer amount of content they will be adding to it, even if they are not ripping other mechanics from similar games like in CD.

Ohhh, the climb down.
Yeah that happens to me a bit too.
Would probably be better if the buttons were separate.
Thing is too they have down as lock on on controller and that was a perfect button to use the axiom on, quick press and it pops out rather than hold L3. Frame to press and it come out from L3 is longer than a dpad or face button.
>>737171473
Irony is when the game released stealing not even getting caught would harm the faction reputation.
Now its easy to steal no issue but I would have preferred not to steal at all as a semi RP reason.
Thing with books is you have to steal to read them unlike leaflets (which you cant steal but read them by picking them up)
So yeah you kind of "have to" steal the books.
Though you can also find them, buy them etc.
i think the later levels of the books are super rate.
Each book goes in 1-5 or 1-4 (roman numerals) and I think the last versions are really rare.
Just steal them.
You read them and sell them straight away.
Now it has indications in the menu if you already read it but no fucking indication if you have read it before you steal it so just make it your mission to remember what you read or steal every book.
That is what i do.

Stealing is not super lucrative, though early on it can be a way to make a lot of cash like stealing from the bank, but lioncrest has a lot of shit to steal (gold bar in the fireplace) for early game including some gear and by using that gold bar you can save scum the bank and make infinite money. Starting the ball rolling of becoming rich.
When you get to a certain point you no longer need to steal anything (but books)
the real money maker is pickpocket gold bars from the rich (nobles) but apparently they have nerfed drop rates and you can no longer see if they have gold bars on them.
I didnt steal much from them as I save scummed the bank instead and built up.

>>737171707

>>
>>737171493
>if there was a demo or something
It would not make a difference.
honestly you need probably like 50-80 hours into it before you even feel comfortable with the game.
I dont mean like there is an issue with the game I just mean there is shot loads of systems and mechanics and its not like some BS game that has a specific gameplay loop you learn and thats it for the rest of the game, the game is constantly changing gameplay and adding new shit.
Over time when you get used to how the game plays and get skill points you can start experimenting and learning the combat but the game also has 2 other characters that play completely fucking different. You wont even have skill points to build them up let alone kliff.
Its a massive game.
It takes like 20 hours just to basically get past the tutorial of just figuring out how the game even works.
Its not in the slightest like any other game, though ironically it copies loads of other games mechanics.
The main games it is copying is TotK, dragons dogma and RDR2, but also ass creed.

Not too much of exploits.
The gold bar in lioncrest respawned, they patched that.
That thing is there literally to make you money investing in the bank early on. Just opening a bank account with 100 silver and putting that in will passively make you money, clearly intended.
Then nobles having gold bars, often hanging around where the bank is too...clearly intended for you to put 2+2 together and realizing stealing from them is a smart move.
Also (cleverly intended) there is a gambling card game close by where a noble comes and plays...its all dev intended for you to start making money, which you need loads for the camp anyway.
The issue there was people were seeing the nobles with gold bars and gamefying it, optimizing the fun out and then found more lucrative areas later that i think they patched out being able to see gold bars able to be pick pocketed as well as the drop rate of gold bars.
They have not managed to patch out save scumming the bank though and that is where you can make super money.
I doubt they will be able to patch that out without making the game always online and the banking system online which they are not gonna do of course.

>>737172007
I cant remember the years as they fly by but GB relink was my GotY when it released, I think 2 years ago now.
I don't remember what new games I even played last year as IRL was to busy. I played oblivion remaster but then had to stop playing as IRL shit got too deep so couldn't get immersed and not played it since.

This game is clearly getting GotY anyway.
Sure the journos have not been paid off and its too big brained for them, its a game for actual gamers and doesn't hold your hand but other than GTA6 whcih wont ever win GotY as its just an iteration of a formula, there is no contender coming this year.
Me personally I am more hyped for GB relink DLC and CD was a surprise hit for me, I wasn't even that hyped for it.

FYI I am not a weeb either. GB relink was a surpise hit for me too.

Me neither and it looks cool.
I am already swimming in keys though so like other items it seems its a later item they will just dump on you that superceeds other items, in this case keys.
We already get shit that superceded the pickaxe, logging axe and even the scythe later on so makes sense we will get something that supersedes carrying keys.

Same anon.
Well deluxe edition armour but i just fucked staglord up recently so am using his shield and cloak so am slowly changing gear.

One actual issue too is that you have to dump skill points into upgrading the armour and cant get it back.
i dumped skill points in the deluxe armour seeing I will carry it on me forever and it takes no inventory space, so I need to find something i really want to wear before I commit skill points to maxxing it out.
I have only maxxed the chest armour though as I have found loads of legs and arms so though i will find something better to wear eventually.

Seems most of the armour I have found is like leather armour rather than what I want, some plate mail, which the preorder and deluxe armours are.
There is plate main I can craft and buy but I dont like the look of them.
My assumption is most of the plate mail I find will be in deminiss seeing the enemies there are wearing plate main, compared to cloth and leather in hernand and pailune.
I have found 2 of the dark knights and 1 of them drops the frost legs (rewards mentioned from a quest) but i was getting my shit pushed by the frost so had to GTFO, come back later.

>>737173289
Armour is not really stat based, its like fromsoft games, its just there for fashion. Wear what you like.
The only stats you have on the base gear is like a + or - defence, or movement speed or something like that, really negligible.
Then the refinement is the level scaling.
You ideally don't want to level up your weapon too much until you are finding enemies that are difficult to kill, well unless you want to stomp everything and with gear its just simple damage reduction, so you can chug food or refine it to take less damage.
Its why I thought I would max level the deluxe chest piece so i am tanking damage but not touch the feel and arms as I can easily swap them out as I find new ones.
it was quite obvious the cuirass I want is gonna be the main source of fashion so will be hard to find one I like.

Oi mate change one crit for another rt lt attack imo

>>737177680
Dont do what that anon said, crit rate is the most important damage stat in the game. It literally 2x your damage when it procs. Another effect doesn't come close and most of them are shit for damage anyway
frost spike isn't that good though, you could swap that out for a better gear. groundsurge is very good

I think you should play how you want, but crow's pursuit is one of the best effects in the game. 3 extra attack is nothing in comparison. the crows do good damage and they give your melee weapon a ranged move. the crows also stagger enemies

Poise. Enough said.

Poise isn't as effective but helps against fast light attacks, like rapiers and daggers. Some armor pieces give backstab protection.

Poise increases hyper armor.

Poise increases hyper armor and protects against fast attacks.
Phys/elemental defense values also reduce the damage by quite a lot and actually become more noticeable the higher you stack them, the exact opposite of this game where you start getting diminishing returns after 20-30 def.

i fought like 10 bosses by now and not a single one was fun or entertaining, it is always just spamming attacks and healing and rolling randomly, because that fucking input lag makes it impossible to be able to actually dodge anything properly so most fights are just vitality and dmg checks, if boss is not one-shooting you and you have enough food then you can beat whoever you want all you have to do is just being patient enough to go through the fight

the step dodge is basically i-frame or nothing
But the roll dodge is reliable and (if you're using a shield) the shield slap also has parry frames, so you (if you use a shield) get double the parry window by blocking and then shield slapping shortly after.

Which if you flub both windows the slap has block frames for the entire animation and can be cancelled into a step-dodge. Of which let's you block while still getting your i-frames. Honestly the shield has been my biggest fucking crutch

It's a 3d fighting game. You combo bosses or get combos by them. Yoi use kicks, grapples and occasionaly wall bounces to extend your combo. The game is actually very lenient but people get angry at the boss fights because they treat them like souls games. Because bosses get hitstunned the bosses gave them teleports and breaks targeting but you have a literal cheat button that slows down time so I never found it to be an issue. Watch some combo and boss fight videos on youtube

This might be good if it required a significant amount of money. The fact that it dumps other resource requirements and only costs 20 silver max makes it nothing but a cheat mod.

If it was an optional alternative to artifacts that started at 20 silver and increased exponentially, like 20 > 40 > 80 > 160 > 320 then maybe that'd work. And also doesn't replace scales.

Well yeah that's why they suck. Because you're playing boring so the bosses are boring.
Almost none of the bosses are stat checks, they always have a weakness to exploit if you think and figure it out. And actually learn skills.

The only bad bosses in the game are at the end, chapter 10/11/12 have many awful unavoidable bosses.
Early bosses and sidequest bosses are great. Except queen crab and tenebrum who completely suck.

Most of the bosses are good, antumbra bosses are absolute top tier. I don’t understand your point, the dodge windows are very generous and i get consistent perfect dodges. That being said, there are some horrible bosses like that black bear faggot with the spear and shield that spams icicles across the entire tiny arena. I did brute force through that, but i feel i needed frost res or some weird gimmick that i didnt bother to care about. Game rewards preparation, if you’re too stupid to do it, just roast 50 chickens and brute force it

On paper those grand gimmicky battles seem nice, on practice they don't because they gave these type of bosses insta kill attacks, short staggers, and Kliff has no way to go into out combat mode for climbing.

And of course some of the instructions by devs are incorrect/don't apply to current boss/trolling, like the circus boss has no need for flying fortress/pterodactyl images

I tried this and no NPC was showing an abyss artifact to pickpocket so I got bored. Maybe I haven't done enough faction quests?

Games recieving major patches after release is not a good thing. It doesn't matter how much better the game is, I bought it on launch day and played the 2nd worst version that existed.
I had this playtime at 2 weeks. Now ask me, do you think that I will be returning anytime soon with the sheer amount of QoL changes they are adding after all the shit I already put up with? No, and why would I? The game will obviously be a completely different beast in 6 months. The amount of graphic bugs and control issues in this game are insane. And it's not something you ever want to start over from the beginning.
They couldn't have just let it cook for 3 more months. Why didn't they at least hire anyone in QA?

Fun bosses are just to few.
Itemization 7/10 there should be a bit more diffrences between equipment beside gears, there should be other price behind solving puzzles/islands beside abyss artifacts.

Some of them are allright, but i dont bother with many other because of the lack of purpose/gratification.

The size alone makes it better than it is. The copypasted elements brake illusion after awhile (crates with shield and weapon, crate with carrots) it literaly would need last touchups of polishing to make it feel a bit less repeating.
I enjoy the spacing between exploration, puzzles, platforming, i still would prefer that more lore and meaning was put behind many of the locations ( its nice to do sanctuary, camp or some other deserted castle, but after 4 or 5th it becomes a little to samey). Game is need of more variation, like the monastery island - it was a fresh air and pywell would take advantage of this type of smaller yet distingishable zones. Caves should be mini islands with a few turned into some dungons.
For a size they still did a great job, ive only had this much fun openworldwise with morrowind, gothic 1n2 and maybe subnautica.

Bosses shouldnt be a puzzle where most of them crumble to 1-2 correct moves and glass you in any other scenario. Bruteforcing with food/pills is a telltale sign that they included an emergency option in case someoneis dumb enough to not follow their rules. Good bosses should have strong and weak points, but they shouldnt be a pushover after you figure them out, like they shouldnt 1move ko you because boss fired up his ultimate just after the cutsceen. Also all large size bosses are cancer, which are plenty. If you think that a fight with wating to catch projectals with nature grasp and firing them back for most of the stage/encounter is 8/10 (which is like most big and all flying bosses) than you have shit taste.

He's easy as shit if you use blinding flash when he glows red. The bosses usually have a major weakness that fucks them over.
>Force Palm
>Blinding Flash
>WWE
>Focus
>Nature's Grasp + a random tree or column
>Nature's Snare + Retribution
90% of bosses will be fucked over by 1 of these skills. So just focus on unlocking them, and then when you get to a boss fuck around until find which one turns the fight into easy mode. Also Parry and, once you get a lot of gear upgrades, Turning Slash are never bad.

I'm only at chapter 9 and have done a fair amount of sidequest bosses and so far it's probably been a 3:1 ratio of normal bosses and gimmick ones. Some of them are absolutely janky bullshit but most of them just come down to not playing like it's rollslop game.

No the end game is just not properly playtested or balanced. Those tanks are much harder than the either boss, even when you consider Nature's Snare cheese. This is what happens when your play testers are 20 jeets.

>>
>>737215501
Im in 7th but i feel like i tackled some stuff that felt like an endgame content bosswise. Humanoid bosses that dont fly seems most fun and felt best when it comes to mechanics - to thr point where you could beat them with few different stategies. Meanwhile big and flying bosses (which in my expirience is like half of the bosses that Ive challanged) its usually just nature snare or some other one gimmic strat.
For example you can destroy that chpt6 storyboss knight with a column cheese but you can also have a fun fight involving normal moves, perfect dodges/parries into the attacks. Flying and big enemies on the other hand dont have that. You run into something like pric(k)tus the ancient or that stone golem boss with 2nd stage at the collapsed gateway and the theres just 1 or 2 correct ways to solve the fight. Its not good design, especialy when while you supose to "get it", you are comboed and bounce of the floor numerous times.
Its certainly not 8/10 - which some better bosses are. The score is unfortunetly dragged down by the worse ones, also they went a bit to far with teleporting with few of the bosses, it would be ok for few but it becomes a pattern for to many of them.

I thought goldstar was decently hard until I noticed the harpoons exist, and realized I just wasn't playing the way they intended
HALL is just yet another "did you unlock nature's snare?" check

And yeah I think >>737216120 is correct, post chapter 9 feels like it was rushed out and not tested much
The boss of chapter 10 is just a regular enemy from the chapter with more HP
The flying fortress ends up being about the size of a house, has maybe 5 guards in it, and is trivial to defeat.
Meanwhile the random artillery on the ground comes out of nowhere and the battle against it is ball breakingly hard unless you cheese.
Then there's the final abyss thing, where there's not actually a final abyss and it's just pressing buttons that confirmed you completed other abysses.
The story remains completely unexplained unless you complete all abysses then go back to the axiom archive to read notes. The game also doesn't tell you this and the cutscene that plays after beating all abysses is basically nothing and has zero voiced lines.

Even the open world of the later regions feels more phoned in. There ceases to be as many factions and houses and characters, especially compared to Hernand.
For example Delyssia basically has one character, his name is Marni. The lore is that Marni did everything and he's super smart. There's also orcs, they're like Marni too but less smart because they're not Marni.
And the Crimson Desert is just various bandit factions, and a few towns which are each a faction.
There's a really cool looking town by the desert, it's like a vertical city built as a giant gate inside a stone arch. You know what's in the city? Nothing. There's a research guy, that's it. It gets occupied by Antumbra at one point, you know how you kick them out? You don't, they just appear then disappear. There's a quest there, to jump on a dragon's back and ride it. No reason why it has to happen there. You can find dead guards there too. Screams of cut content.

I dont like souls and its gameplay, but still think that overall their bosses are more polished than cd ones.
Many of cd felt like a this boss is a copy of this fight and enemy will spam 3-4 attacks, you need to wait the the right one to unload and dodge/defend on all others. Like ive mentioned every boss can be bruteforced which is a sign that devs designed 1,2 "correct" (in their minds) approaches to defeat said cancer boss and saw that most of the players bounced off the wall till they find said gimmic.
Good bosses should be deafetable using multiple strategies, weapons while still posing a challange. Half of cd ones feel like a wall, till you find a gimick and then they are defeated in 0 effort, its not fun nor hard. Its like a high tier fighting game ai thats programmed to spam 3-4 good combos. You "solve" it by picking one, same move at the right time, everytime. I dont care for bossfights that need solving, thats what puzzles are for, I dont seek another equation, but a fun fight that offer similar fairness to bowfag, unarmed combat, sns and every other option, this is a 8/10 for me. Cd isnt it, at least ehen it comes to said half, gimmicky bosses.

They're almost all interruptible. You don't need to wait. You can parry every attack but red ones. And red ones you can force palm.

You can beat every boss with every weapon. It's a matter of knowing the timings and when it's safe to guard break. If you're really bad at the game you can equip spear and use spear counter mid combo, but even the you need to watch out for grapple and the boss' own guard break attacks. There are videos of people clowning on bosses without ever letting them get a hit in. Most every move has a solution that isn't rolling around like an idiot, but if yoi really wanted to you CAN allow bosses to do their combo strings because you get spirit back from perfect dodges

Does the spear feel like easy mode to anyone else? It’s faster than two-handed, about on par with dual wield, does an amazing turning slash and has a build in parry that you can hold that attacks every enemy around you. I’ve stuck locked a few bosses just by spamming light and then parrying when they attack.

oh yeah and to make it worse im getting quests out in places where the enemies are way fuckin higher level than me or whatever and i have no idea until i get almost there and get rekt

Maybe theyre like that in some newer souls, ive only played 1st one and bloodborn, which while had some gimmicks bosses, felt like there was a way to defeat bosses with style using many different weapons and strategies, certainly it felt more polished than being bounce offed the floor for 20sec because one of the boss projectals hited you and now you waste your time hearing kliff moans and bodyslams.
>>737217498
This is another thing, while said gimmicy fight are problem on their own, not teaching about moves/not including a "checkpoint" to get said move plotwise so he can be prepared at the right chapter is another porblem.
>>
>>737217913
Maybe just luck then. I did Cassius Morten, the electric goblin guy, and some giant stone golem, and they were all stunlocked by me holding light attack and then hitting parry when they wind up for their attack.

The gimmick fights boil down to
>If visible core
Grab it
>If ranged attack
Snare it
They're difficult to figure out on your own. You get snare for free from a puzzle even and you the showers you with skill reset items.

I saw some clips and I dont have problems with normal bosses (humanoid/beast ect that you can approch with cc), but you are kidding if you think flying and big bosses are the same. Almost Every boss that have a gimmick (whether action/attack that fills up the stagger a lot or just 1hit ko them) are designed that way because said stage/bossform was designed to be overwhelming in said stage.
Im older and im not so fast as I was when i was younger, still im not a shitter. Im positive that The number of the players which defeated something like prictus without the use of nature snare or focusbowfaging is miniscule and its not about how hard is to master it. It is about giving us 1-2 options that destroys the biss with gimmick. Its faulty design that cheapens the expirience for both type of players. If said bosses wasnt designed around said gimmicks, you could have better fight overall, both for people that "master" the game without using the exploit and for the rest that use the "right" way to beat the boss.
>>
>>737218575
What I mean is that one of these abilities (and typically only one) which absolutely destroy a boss. Meanwhile the rest will do diddly squat. Like they'll be immune to blinding flash but have no defence against grapple chains. Or they're immune to grapples but force palm cucks them. Hence the comparison to Zelda.
>>
>>737218751
The ancients still have moves hit you through snare so it's not a fight that's solved completely by snare and the projectiles themselves can be dodged through perfectly fine even without snare. The stages they spawn in are huge so I don't know what you're talking about. Upgrade your bow and respec if you're having trouble.
>>

>>
>>737218834
They're all vulnerable to flash during specific moves. You're just not in range, but if you aren't you have plenty of time time to dodge out of the attack anyways
>>
>>737218139
You simplified whatve i wrote. I said that with almost all flying and most big bosses, the designed approach is to use 1-2 actions when the time is right. Of course you can try diffrent approches, but youre punished for trying, if yoyre shit with death/damage, if youre good with smaller dent to boss health (smaller than if you do the "right" approach).
Game have platforming/movement mechanics and you can use many different ways to scale a wall or move from a to b. Imagine if there would be segments where suddenly 1 of possible options would become much better, but just for this stage. Of course that you can try,use, even prevail with other methods. Still, pereferable gimmick that was choosed by devs, gimmick that solves the problem. It just cheapns out the expirience, because said fight/stage is designed by said gimmick.
>>
>>737219202
I wrote that procentage of the players that won pricus fight by not being a bowfag or using nature snare is miniscule. Forcing player to adopt to certain playstyles just beacuse of boss gimick is cheap. Good boss design is about bosses being able to be defeated using multiple strategies and weapons. If your approach is in overall design of the game (exm. Youre mainly a bowfag and invested heavly into it, both equipment and stat wise) and you need to drop it because boss gimick makes said stage cancerous, its a bad design.

>>
>>737220121
You listed two ways of getting other mean ranged weapon. I agree with your point of clear weakness, but that wasnt my point. My point was that because of the dev choice, all strictly malee approches are bad. Sure you can brutefirce it, but thats not the point. Its moreso a forcefull approach to solving a problem. Maube after 50 tries you can get him using sns without spamming food and pills, but this boss is about range and in reality he shouldnt be approched by any other means. Thats why i call him a bad design.
>>
>>737220526
That's not bad design though? If anything it's making you reevaluate your kit like any other boss. If you really wanted to you can kill him with ANY melee weapon by waiting for the dive attack to perfect dodge and then the follow up counter attack to start your combo.
>>
>>737219957
Priscus literally stands there at the start of the fight as long as you keep hitting him. He teleports around but if you react fast enough he won't be able to escape. I was able to demolish 80% of his health before he could make a single move
Then you can punish his divekick easily (and whenever he floats down for no good reason)
Anyways that was my experience an hour ago, I just ran into him randomly
>>
>>737220526
Also it wouldnt be a problem if it was single case, but as i mentioned most big bossess and almost all flying ones require you to depend on nature snare or go ranged.
If a game gives me a dozen options of approaching fights, but as soon as a big boss or flying faggot show up, it punishes me for not picking anything other than what devs devised to be the right approach (in this case no malee), its just a bad design.
>>
>>737219957
Anon, I'm nearly 46 fucking years old (feels relevant to add since you mentioned you're getting old) and I beat Priscus without either of those things. I encountered him before I had really explored most of the abilities I had at my disposal, and I fired maybe half a dozen shots with my bow during the first attempt on him until I realized that my bow was shitty and I hadn't invested into the skills for it.

It took me about 5 tries before I took him down. During that time, I learned a lot about the basics of the combo system in an attempt to maximize the brief windows I had. I learned that force palm can stagger and can be used to extend combos, as well as the value of the pulse version. I learned how to weapon swap to keep a combo going, and how the stab attack can be used mid-combo as well as how to utilize it effectively. Once I combined this knowledge with my knowledge of his attacks and where my openings were, I killed him while hardly taking damage in return.

He's not some insurmountable wall if you choose not to utilize your ranged options or don't know about using Nature's Snare to neutralize and return his ranged attacks. Yes, he is easier with those two methods, but he's also beatable through the time-honored gamer tradition of git gud.

>>737187703
The lack of loot overload, and tutorials does a lot. Ubisoft games often always tell you exactly what you need to do. So much of this game feels like you have to figure out what to do yourself. Like clearing bandit camps even feels organic and strange.
The best thing about this game is how poorly they communicate what you need to do in any situation.
It's a very odd feeling game but really great.

What chapter? How overlvl were you to do 80% of his health at the start of the fight?
In my expirience i did few % and he casualy did 70% of my health with a laserspam if I did one mistake, all the while being stuck in body bouncing animation. His 1 hit throw koed me each time I was in couple m vicinity.
I got him few days ago with focus bowing, but it was pain in the ass with a controller.
Maybe i did evolved into grandad, but theres really a certian vibe when it comes to some cd bosses. Its not that its impossible to defeat them by other means but I feel like its miserable to fight them that way (the other ways that dont involve exploiting their gimics) and its so prevelent to me because other bossess can feel really great, than you run into this type of cancer spam.

This is my current Kliff, I'm halfway through chapter 7. Main difference when I fought him was that I had the Sword of the Lord at the same level and abyss upgrades, pretty sure it's the exact same stats. I've only now started grabbing bow skills since you need them for puzzles, I'm about 100 hours in and still hadn't read any of them...

The one boss I could not figure out to deal with in melee is the Abyss Kutum, I assume you're meant to yank out the core with axiom force but it never worked for me so I had to spend all my unleveled arrows to stun it instead
I'm sure there are other bosses requiring you to have some ranged attacks though

>No, it's based. Makes treasure hunting worthwhile
Nah it's stupid, guy you killed had his items stowed away in some random warerfall caves

pywell assured me that cyberpunk 2077 \ botw and skyrim fucking lied, you CAN have a giant open world that is to scale that runs well and that has detailed interiors

Pywell is great but they cut corners on the ray tracing unless you turn on RR. It's wonderful look 90% of the time and buggy the other 10%.

Kek. It really shows everyone how much is actually possible with open worlds, details, and physics.
I can't believe we have global ray tracing, tessilation on like every surface, these wild fluid and cloth sims and breakable everything with physics on absolutely everything, AND it fucking runs on console.
