Imagine designing a multi phase boss and trying to add variety to it.

Delaying his third swing instead of his second is a pretty crazy mixup.

I don't get what this argument is about. If you are surprised that an open world game lets you get ahead of the power curve (unless it resorts to stuff like scaling enemies to your level) then you are too young to be on this forum. What gets annoying, and I can sympathise with, is when the player's efforts to control the difficulty get in the way of immersion into the game world. If I want to check out what's over there I don't want to worry that I'm already too overlevelled as it is.

The argument is this. Any time someone points out a serious flaw with a From game, the From drones immediately defend it and say the designers intended it that way. But also that they didn't and it's not really a problem, and if it is a problem you're being entitled to expect them to fix those problems over the last 10 years. But it still isn't really a problem and you're just an old man out of touch with From games.

It doesn't make sense because the From drones don't have any arguments. They leap to any defense they can and it's all contradictory.

PvP is for faggots. It never should have been implemented in a way that allowed a PvP community ever.

Isn't it just!? I like the bit where I hit a guy with a claymore, he rips his arm off and now he's doing ninja flips and shooting plasma out of his dick while he spins! I know when someone is trying to kill me I hold back until I'm half dead then deal mortal damage to myself so I can kill them better! Remember Sif!? IT WAS SO DEEP AND MEANINGFUL TO SEE HIM LIMP! UWU MY SIF CHAN.

Fucking retarded gook game for retarded fanboys who will excuse any bullshit as long as it doesn't hurt their ego.

Ever considered that the "serious flaw(s)" you mention isn't that serious of a flaw if with it not being fixed for a decade their games still get better with each new release, old man?

Idk... it sure seems like you're the one with the oversized and extremely delicate ego.

1. Clear examples or you are building yourself another nice strawman.
2. Am I defending From or am I just countering the dumbfuckery you keep spewing? I barely even post in From threads because I usually avoid spoilers and it takes me a while to run through the games. Somehow with this DLC I caught you in full schyzo mode and you triggered me.

Are you going to claim From games don't have camera issues with large enemies and lock on doesn't regularly break on bosses that 1/2 shot you? Are you going to defend Nameless king phase 1 too? lol.

you triggered me.

I know. You're a queer and I'm an alpha chad. Little sissy boys like you always try to hug my nuts.

Oh no no no, they do. You just have more of them. Way more.

These are not serious flaws. IIRC you proposed for them to have Devil May Cry V camera–style for such fights, so...

So you are going to defend them as "not serious". Because Nameless king, one of the hardest bosses in DaS3 breaking your lock on and immediately hitting you from an angle you can't see isn't an issue? Not being able to see what a dragon is doing while you hit it's feet isn't an issue?

I don't even like Dragon's dogma but I'm going to go to bat for it when they let you climb all over monsters while Dark souls makes you hit their feet while the camera acts like a furry foot fetish porno.

I don't want to brag, but isn't the first phase of Nameless King akin to the first phase of Sword Saint Isshin (as in when you fight Genichiro)?
He's tough in the second phase, but you fight him, not the camera.
Most bosses with very fucked up cameras give very generous timings, like these fucked up tree snakes in Elden Ring, you don't even have to look at them to dodge their attacks.

Pretty sure I didn't have camera issues on that boss.

I present to you the most pathetic of From drones. Can't even admit a boss that repeatedly breaks lock on and flies around you constantly has a problem.

Remind me why any one would take these cucks seriously again?

I'd watch you riding King of the Storm, if you know what I mean

I watched the first minute.

The boss leaves your camera three times. The third time he hits you with an attack you can't see coming because of it. You also stand in the fire effect and don't take damage so it's a bad hit box.

Within 1 minute you've proven my point. Despite trying to manually control the camera you still have the boss repeatedly attack from off screen or completely cover your camera.

Please stop your bullshit.

their games still get better with each new release

That's your criteria? Bosses should never leave your camera? Even if I deliberately turn away from it?
There was no issue at all during the fight knowing where the boss is or what he does. And the hit I took was because I was trying to trade on his 3rd strike, camera had nothing to do with it. You are absolutely inventing reasons to complain.

As for the fire hitbox, you need to check your eyes, I wasn't even close to it.

 

[Hell Swarm]

From drone literally denying reality because it makes them feel better about... something? Who knows. Time to ignore the sad pathetic loser.

 

[abija]

Sup? Is life tough outside your circle jerks? Already in gaslight mode?

The camera in these games is mostly fine. I don't really think there's a perfect solution to 3rd person action cameras - if there exists a series-wide problem, it's their obsession with oversized bosses rather than the camera itself.

 

[Hell Swarm]

The camera in these games is mostly fine.

Camera option 1 : You lock on and the game randomly breaks your lock on during some boss fights despite it being a 1 on 1 fight and there being no reason for lock on to fail in that situation
Camera option 2 : You don't lock on and the thumb you use to roll now has to manually control the camera.

Gee, those options sure sound mostly fine.

 

[notpl]

They are, yes. I and millions of other people have beaten every game in the franchise without issue, so there's obviously nothing critical going wrong. In hundreds of hours cumulatively put into these games I have spent maybe ten minutes being annoyed at the camera. That is an acceptable rate of failure.

Elden ring is the poster child of artificial difficulty. Bosses having multiple phases where they intentionally punish the previous safe strategy just to drag the game out longer is the exact thing people said they didn't want. It's all artificial difficulty in place of quality boss design that's challenging but fair all the way through.

The retardation continues.

I'm on my phone right now as I had to go out town for a week so pardon me if i am not my usual prosaic self.

The reason bosses have phases is to make things easier for the player. The first phase is supposed to be your training ground, the part where you get to master the standard moveset of the boss without the added elements.

Now, notice how buffs only usually last as long as the first phase? That's by design too. Once you mastered the first phase they give you the option to get rid of it faster so you can focus better on the second phase

FromSoft doesn't want people to get frustrated. In Sekiro and Elden Ring you even get to fight the first phase of a boss as a separate encounter (Corrupted Monk, Godfrey or Mogh), precisely so that by the time you get to real thing you aren't as overwhelmed.

 

[abija]

Camera option 1 : You lock on and the game randomly breaks your lock on during some boss fights despite it being a 1 on 1 fight and there being no reason for lock on to fail in that situation

It breaks due to range, boss mechanics or a motion that would turn it too fast. All are pretty good reasons.

Camera option 2 : You don't lock on and the thumb you use to roll now has to manually control the camera.

Should I go search for those Halo posts of yours? You're spinning so hard in your own lies you could win a spintop competition.
