Fucker says something completely retarded, goes away for a couple of days then comes back as if nothing happened trying to gaslight us again.

Yeah, it's pretty funny.

Forgot i made the same joke. Point still stands. Fucker says something completely retarded, goes away for a couple of days then comes back as if nothing happened trying to gaslight us again.

He also deletes his own posts after he says something compeletely stupid, so he must have some of self-awareness at least. I would say it makes him possibly retarded, we can't be sure.

Do you think Patches was molested as a kid by a priest?

You can shit talk me all you want but please don't lie. I have never deleted a post on the codex. I have edited to correct things but never deleted. If any posts have been deleted it's someone in the mod team not me.

the man himself returns

His first video was 2 hours of complaining that the game was too hard for a Dark Souls 1 build (aka pure strength no spells no items dodgeroll only). Which is pretty much the anthem of all this game's haters. Waahhh, why doesn't it play like a game 4 sequels ago???

 

[AwesomeButton]

Actually as a total noob to the souls genre I decided to go simple with a strength/dex weapon and a melee build.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Pure strength gives you access to the best shields in the game going pure roll after that is to actually go against the build. It's like going pure int and never use a sorcery.

Bloodhound's fang - a str/dex curved sword. I still haven't got to 40 vigor, so I haven't switched to upgrading str or dex yet.

Bro complains about the difficulty and can't accept that he's bad and the game has a lot of things that could make the game easier for him, but he refuses to use them. Because of toxic masculinity, ladies and gentlemen

Does he actually say that? Lmao time stamp please.

Dunno I haven't watched the videos, kinda stopped doing that in FS fandom since Vaatividya praising Dark Souls 2 before its release like it's the second coming of Christ

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's reasonable to expect it to be a duck. Don't blame people for From being too lazy to improve their games and expect people to play them differently with no indication this is what they expect.

Another From fanboy who covers their ears and goes lalalalah because they have no argument. No wonder these dumb fucks never respond to anything and can't dispute facts and logic. They're completely ignorant. Just like with the Scadu fragments!

Sorry I don't spend literal hours watching a literal who telling me that a thing I like actually sucks

He actually liked the DLC, specially the bosses, more than the base game. So much in fact that it has renewed his expectations for From's next game. He also complimented the open world design, considering it more of a fusion between dungeon and open world. On the other hand he does critizice that the DLC feels unfinished, with areas that are either very empty, or reuse too many enemies from base game, and some bosses like Radhan not being particularly well done, specially compared to the other bosses in the DLC which he claimed were great. Also issues with the camera, frame rate and such. He is still very critical through the video, but overall his impressions about SoTE were positive.

At the end of the video he also presents his opinions about how the community is too resilliant to any form of criticism, to the point some excuse anything wrong with the game, and warns that it is a self defeating position to take as it may lead to From not improving their games.

He starts with very harsh and inflamatory remarks, but it is a set up for a stark switch up at around the 8 minute mark, so if anyone is interested in the video be warned that the long intro isn't representative of the whole video.

and expect people to play them differently with no indication this is what they expect.

It's funny too because the "you're supposed to play it differently" argument isn't even true. It's the old 'non-standard difficulty slider' discussion that goes all the way back to Demon's Souls. Only now, the idea that you'd put a limit on your power to take on a greater challenge is considered "playing it the wrong way".

The people who need to see this the most are physically incapable of understanding it.

I'm also not watching hour long videos of people I don't know telling me that a thing I like is good, but I do agree with this, I liked the DLC more than the base game, but it also enhanced the base game to me, which became apparent when I created a couple of new builds from scratch and was surprised by the base game open world which after dozens of hours in the DLC became alien to me, almost like in my first playthrough

You can even apply incantation buffs or weapon greases to that thing, it's incredibly strong and one of the most versatile weapons for targeting weaknesses.

This thread is full of people like that so it's pointless trying to discuss From games honestly here.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Does he actually say that? Lmao time stamp please.

He doesn't, he just seems the regular level of butthurt tryhard who is mad their challenge build is actually challenging.

I don't know any other series where such a vocal group of people go around insisting there is only one correct build for the game.

Very odd, but I've never really interacted with the "fandom" seeing as I play alone or with my brother. I just enjoy them however I want without worrying what other people think.

No one cares if you forgo abilities to make the game harder for yourself, its when you turn around and complain that the game is too hard after choosing to limit yourself that makes no sense. You want a no magic no summons run, expect a tougher time. That's on you.

It's the same as playing Baldur's gate without a mage or cleric and then saying the encounters are too hard. It's okay for the game to expect a certain baseline of power from the player and tune encounters to match. If you can't "figure out what the game expects from you" perhaps you'll have more fun playing a Ubisoft game.

 

[Nathir]

Someone explain to me why we needed a Lord of frenzied flame as a boss? What is the point? I still don't get it.

Because summons are ways to make the game easier, it is not SEEN as the intended difficulty for a boss. We can debate whether that is intended until the end of time but it's clear that the bosses AI is not designed with summons (and sometimes with magic too) when it either trivializes the fight or the bosses doesn't understand what to do and sometimes switches targets in the middle of the string or even in the middle of the attack.
And you can't tell me that a magic user placing down terra magica and shooting their comet azure, melting a boss before he's even reaching the player is how that fight is intended to play out.
The fact that the bosses have a really bad design isn't excused by the fact that you can cheese them with summons or magic. You can't tell me that Consort Radahn having it's cross-slash only have 1 frame where you can dodge the attack and not get hit by the follow-up is good design because you could've just summoned your mimic tear and let him take the hit.
