lots of times that team dies and I have to clutch, and sometimes I can't do it because of some BS dropped slide input

#

like over and over

placid fiber
#

Maybe try the slide a bit later?

prisma magnet
#

with character just tbagging instead of just getting tf out

#

maybe yeah

#

maybe that's my problem

placid fiber
#

cause I always make sure I'm sprinting first iirc

#

It is muscle memory so it is hard to explain

prisma magnet
#

you have a good point

#

i might just be pressing it too early

placid fiber
#

practice makes permanent x.x

prisma magnet
#

yeah for sure

placid fiber
#

if you practice wrong you can really screw yourself over

prisma magnet
#

that's true ye

placid fiber
#

And it's hard to undo a lot of muscle memory

prisma magnet
#

i probably just need to chill a bit more, I'm basically only using relic blade now so I can use the visual indicator of lowering the sword too to slide after that

#

and not before

placid fiber
#

Once you start getting it right more and more you can work on more precise timing, I would say

prisma magnet
#

yeah for sure

#

also like

placid fiber
#

When under pressure things get a lot harder

prisma magnet
#

bolter feels really good to use with relic, but once everything starts going to shit then I feel so slow

placid fiber
#

I use the bolt pistol myself, and put unyielding on my relic

prisma magnet
#

I guess bolter helps everything NOT go to shit in the first place

#

yeah my relic is unyiedling and carapace

placid fiber
#

but bolter and relic is the go-to I guess

prisma magnet
#

but I still have bolter

#

I deleted bosses so fast with it

#

magdump and then jump on the bosses with charged heavies

placid fiber
#

I am more paranoid about specials myself <.<'

prisma magnet
#

yeah tbh

placid fiber
#

especially trappers

prisma magnet
#

me too

placid fiber
#

even with tknives

prisma magnet
#

I just love killing bosses

placid fiber
#

Fair

prisma magnet
#

but I should play with the bolt pistol more i think

placid fiber
#

Also using a build with more tools to help you clutch helps make it easier as well

prisma magnet
#

yeah for sure

placid fiber
#

a lot of builds forgo twbs nowadays

prisma magnet
#

what do you have on bolt pistol?

placid fiber
#

flak, maniac, puncture and your choice of a 2nd blessing

#

lethal proximity is a good pick

#

I use run and gun, myself

prisma magnet
#

for the boss and horde dmg

delicate shadow
#

Yeah look any more edgy shit like this and you'll be banned, aight? only warning

prisma magnet
#

twbs feels only good on flamethrower idk

placid fiber
#

twbs is good for slower weapons

prisma magnet
#

i like run and gun on the bpistol

placid fiber
#

and you can't get hitstunned off of auspex machines

carmine falcon
#

Twbs feels good on everything
You literally never get stunned

placid fiber
#

^

carmine falcon
#

İ can't play without it

prisma magnet
#

I will try playing more with it on relic

placid fiber
#

It helps with clutching

#

it's just another tool

prisma magnet
#

I like the bigger damage that the other build gets me on bosses and hordes, I only got the twbs cuz the flamethrower on my dueling sword setup felt fucking awful without it

carmine falcon
#

Only bad thing about twbs is you'll get dmged without realizing lmao but that's just an awarness issue

prisma magnet
#

yeah for sure

#

but these days I never even use ds anymore

#

relic blade just feels more fun

#

also like

#

i will say

#

weird take

#

maybe just a thing I have noticed on random pugs

#

but every time I took ds out for a spin

#

I was always the last to die (tbh usually what happens), the horde always pilled up, things never died, the mass just kept on growing, and at the end I also died cuz there was just an immense mass of enemies to deal with and no allies

#

relic just kinda fixed it

#

cuz it's a damn lawnmower

carmine falcon
#

Weird because with ds u should delete all threats

#

Cover horde clear with something else and boom

placid fiber
#

hordes are a slight weakness on it, but, only on higher densities

#

or havoc

prisma magnet
#

i'm prolly just not playing it correctly i guess

#

i'll pick it up again some other time

broken walrus
#

I never die to the horde with DS, but I cant go rescue teamates if im slowly chopping hordes. I get what you mean

prisma magnet
#

but for now I'm having fun with relic

I turn away to watch the wire

#

And I miss something

zealous grove
#

What are the best weapons at horde clearing?

craggy skiff
#

A flame staff psyker. Bring one of those

plush estuary
#

what kind of horde

#

mixed, only poxwalkers, patrols?

zealous grove
#

I'm new so i know my questions are probably very noob

plush estuary
#

you are fine

#

thats what this chat is for

zealous grove
#

c:

plush estuary
#

both axes, relic blade, eviscerator

#

ones I can think of rn

#

all weapons can be horde clear

zealous grove
#

Is there a specific playstyle for eviscerator?

plush estuary
#

it just varies on speed

#

and safety

spare talon
#

heavy sword if the mixed horde doesnt contain maulers

plush estuary
#

become the zealot

hard nexus
zealous grove
#

aight

#

i'll become the zealot then

#

Eviscerator is the big saw blade right? My game isn't in english and i can't tell from images

plush estuary
#

You got this

zealous grove
#

ahah

plush estuary
#

Large chain sword

#

2 handed

zealous grove
#

gotcha

plush estuary
#

Dont forget to have fun though, some people seem to forget that

#

And good luck

zealous grove
#

yeah i was using dueling swords cause i was told they are good but i don't really like them

#

I prefer a sword with a chainsaw 100%

opaque island
#

yah dont listen to the tryhards in here

#

(i mean people who will tell you if you dont use certain things you're throwing or shit like that) though i havent seen those kinda opinions in awhile

i gotta enjoy chainaxe gameplay a little more, ive only used it when i was leveling my zealot

thats what it reminded me of

rain knoll
#

what are a good use of double barrel shotgun

plush estuary
#

daamage

rain knoll
#

i got bolt pistol full and looking foward to db shotgun

obsidian prairie
#

On vet it can be used as horde clear with weapon spec

plush estuary
#

really quick to pull out and blast a group of ragers

mighty root
rain knoll
#

i'm so addicted to chain weaponry..

#

brrrrr

mighty root
#

I love it on vet

rain knoll
#

altho it isn't the best

obsidian prairie
#

What the fuck is reloading

obtuse garnet
#

time to level up zealot 🥲

mighty root
#

You can do vet weapon spec with the chain sword @rain knoll

#

The most basic build

obsidian prairie
#

I’d recommend an anti Cara melee with a dbarrel build

#

And chainsword is terrible for that

#

Knife works perfectly for it though

obtuse garnet
#

forgot my zealot is still weak

brisk raft
#

Dbarrel vet needs krak?

mighty root
#

I only run mk knife on vet

rain knoll
#

i might use combat axe on vet

mighty root
#

I wouldn’t know

mighty root
obsidian prairie
#

Speed to run down specials and Cara+unyielding damage

rain knoll
#

i'm not good as knife

mighty root
obsidian prairie
mighty root
#

Yeah same

#

Smokes are awesome

rain knoll
#

or just throw the krak bomb at crusher

mighty root
obsidian prairie
#

Can’t pick ranged fights with a shotgun

#

So I simply ignore them

sterile stone
#

Trust

obsidian prairie
#

Bullets aren’t real if I can’t see them

plush estuary
mighty root
#

The better you get the more kraks lose their effectiveness

brisk raft
obsidian prairie
mighty root
#

I love sniping snipers with the d barrel

plush estuary
#

it can

plush estuary
#

it'll take more time than other guns

sterile stone
#

What ever pack of ragers see when im on the map

obsidian prairie
#

Not efficiently

rain knoll
#

imagine training to snipe for ur whole heretical life then get sniped by outcast with shotgun

mighty root
#

Me thinks infiltrate should be replaced with just grenade spam

brisk raft
obsidian prairie
sterile stone
mighty root
#

TRUE

rain knoll
#

best blessing for db shotgun?

mighty root
obsidian prairie
#

Depends

rain knoll
#

zealot

#

Still depends

zealous grove
rain knoll
#

i will try on zealot first then vet later

#

Are you running a crit build or no

plush estuary

#

Guardsmen in Dawn of War series have Nade Launchers aplenty

plush estuary

Bunch of old ass launchers from WH

zealous grove
rain knoll
obsidian prairie
plush estuary
#

relic power mode is easier than the shredder

rain knoll
#

i just build for slash slash slash keep the toughness up

plush estuary
#

since it can be used against more than 1 target in 1 activation

zealous grove
#

gotcha

#

ty again

#

oo and

#

the axes

#

are they decent compared to evis?

plush estuary
#

in most ways they are better

mighty root
#

Speaking of chainswords what even is the best one lol i never really used them

obsidian prairie
#

Which axes

#

There’s 3

tranquil owl
#

Relic blade swings through hordes like a heated knife through butter when its special is active

plush estuary
#

combat is a slower heavy one, while tactical is a faster knife like one

tranquil owl
#

You'll gush when you first use it

mighty root
tranquil owl
#

The feeling is immaculate

mighty root
#

It’s a combat

obsidian prairie
plush estuary
#

and the chain axe is just like a evis

plush estuary
#

with a little less horde clear from what I can tell

What weapon are we talking about

obsidian prairie

Mk13g

mighty root
#

Ohhh

obsidian prairie
#

It’s just built like that

mighty root
#

The hoard clear is really just light spam?

obsidian prairie
#

Yes

tranquil owl
#

Its kinda funny tbh

obsidian prairie
#

It outpaces nearly everything

tranquil owl
#

But yeah it goes brrbrr

#

Still.....taxe thumbsup_ogryn

#

Forever and always

obsidian prairie
#

But it’s actually balanced in that it falls off against mixed and Cara

#

Relic Blade is much better at the same niche (two handed weapon intended to be strong against all target types, at the cost of being slow, poor at dodging, and having an activation mechanic)

tranquil owl
#

Learned that your char in Lords of the Fallen cuts their hand when casting radiance spells, and the reason being is the god of light, Orian, is a god that encourages penance. Which is why the armor and weapons of his followers tend to be adorned with thorns

tranquil owl
#

He describes exactly why i love the game

#

It gave me back my love for soulslikes

spare talon
#

lords of the fallen cant possibly be the best soulslike

#

its in competition with lies of p

tranquil owl
#

They still update the game with new qol features, hardware/software support for pc, any fixes they can find

spare talon
#

which is the best soulslike

tranquil owl
#

Lies of P is bloodborne like

#

Lords of the Fallen is more akin to the souls games themselves

spare talon
#

its souls/bloodborne/sekiro like

#

it has basically all mechanics from all souls-adjacent games from fromsoft merged into their own unique thing

tranquil owl
#

Idk how to make a case for lotf without telling the person they need to actually experience the game

#

I've played lies of p, its better stitched together, but lotf has way more dedication to its details imo

spare talon
#

i think they gave it for free on epic games recently so i planned to do it eventually

tranquil owl
#

And its lore is exactly what i like

obtuse garnet
#

one chip challenge

tranquil owl
#

Its way better than what early reviews say

#

And those were a lot of preformance issues

#

Which have long since been fixed

#

The game plays like butter now

#

Was worth waiting to play until this year

sterile stone
#

The lady who just shoots eyeballs throughout the whole arena

tranquil owl
#

Haven't beat the game even once yet

#

So you're spending 60% of the fight doging slow moving aoes that cover the whole map

You've got hell ahead of you

Grimdark religious fantasy

spare talon
#

i fucked with lies of Ps lore way more because the actual overall story was immediately apparent and coherent on the first playythrough, you know what was generally happening
but there was just as much stuff to dig into as any other souls game, its like the raw playthrough was reading through the abstract and you go "yeah i know whats going on" but you can still read the full document which has waaaaay more info not in the abstract

tranquil owl
sterile stone
#

Cole is about to autistically type out a whole essay

#

Aaaaand there it is.

plush estuary
#

Are you sure?

tranquil owl
#

At that point it comes down to preference

sterile stone
#

Yeah

tranquil owl
#

With theme and setting

sterile stone
#

But the game can verge on

#

Hey this is challenging

#

To

#

Wow this shit makes me want to smash my monitor

tranquil owl
#

I fuck heavy with dark fantasy, especially when cosmic horror is involved

#

Yeah, first enemy to piss me off was the big penance helmet guys that headbash you

sterile stone
#

Medieval cosmic horror is strange though

tranquil owl
#

By literally bashing their head into the floor

sterile stone
#

Yeah fuck that guy

tranquil owl
#

Those mfs throw you off heavy at first

sterile stone
#

I let him run off the ledge

tranquil owl
#

They'll do a slow bash that builds up smite, or a quick bash without warning lmao

#

You're mid combo and suddenly your a pancake

#

Also, the umbral realm has to be one of the best integrated mechanics I've ever seen in a soulslike

#

And also a massive part of the immersion and does it perfectly

sterile stone
#

I'll say this

tranquil owl
#

But you gotta experience it

sterile stone
#

Being a caster in LotH trivializes the game

tranquil owl
#

Its just, there's really nothing like it

sterile stone
#

Outside of learning dodge timings

tranquil owl
#

The umbral lamp and way it works

sterile stone
#

You can just mash out spells

tranquil owl
#

Yeah infernal builds in lotf go brr

#

Casting is very user friendly

#

In general

sterile stone
#

With the cavet being

tranquil owl
#

Radiance and umbral builds can go brr with the ease of casting

sterile stone
#

You will get jumped by pursuer type enemies en masse

tranquil owl
#

Just like infernal

thick harbor
#

Ya'll know any reason why I should use Crusher over the Shock Maul?

#

I'm debating myself here

sterile stone
tranquil owl
#

The fact that using the lamp just to peer into the umbral realm makes you vulnerable to attacks from enemies in the umbral, pulling you in, is yes

#

And you might be surrounded by enemies you couldn't see before

#

Or discover a new path you couldn't see otherwise

sterile stone
#

The mimics...

#

Those little bastards

tranquil owl
#

Yeah the mimics are horrific

#

Angler fish lookin mfs yeah?

#

Am i thinking the right game?

sterile stone
#

Nah they look like regular chest

#

They just rattle from time to time

tranquil owl
#

Which game am i thinking of with the angler fish lookin mfs

#

Thats too vauge tbf

#

Im nabbing some pics ive taken of the game

spare talon
# tranquil owl With theme and setting

thats fair
what lies of p does different with its setting/story (beyond "woag pinocchio and woag belle epoque") was that it was able to give the same presentation of "everything is fucked and twisted and evil" but with a more grounded reasoning, enemies dont attack you cuz of reasons like "ooh the macguffin has corrupted their mind and theyre insane now oooo" but for example in the puppets case, they ||are attacking citizens/you not out of any sort of malice, but to prevent the main antagonist from infecting the citizens with the disease that crystalizes their life to fuel his goal by killing the people before that can happen, a "for the greater good/the end justifies the means" situation||

OMW to observe creatures in a malice CIVI.

#

There was a game that came out right before it, soulslike, you play as a female model android in an old london setting

#

What was that again

grizzled aspen
#

Nier?

tranquil owl
#

Nah thats good too tho

#

This is a soulslike

#

Also, me pics from the game

#

Incomplete armor set, need the legs, have to farm in umbral realm

grizzled aspen
#

The uhhhh

#

What was that one where youre like a soul and you inhabit different bodies?

tranquil owl
#

Oooh hold up ik what one you speak of

grizzled aspen
#

And if you get whacked hard enough you come out of the body you inhabit.

tranquil owl
#

With hardening as a mechanic

#

Turning your body to stone to negate attacks

#

And can do it during almost any animation

tranquil owl
#

Yeeeee

#

Mortal Shell has a roguelike dlc gamemode

#

Lotf also has modifiers already added in the game you can turn on/off and tweak, permadeath, increased enemy spawn density, randomized loot, randomized enemy spawns, normal souls stuff

#

The game i was thinking of earlier is Steelrising

#

Good game

#

Just a bad time to release it when lies of p came out not long after lol

#

Tho if they'd released after they'd have probably been accused of riding on its coat tail

spare talon
tranquil owl
#

Yeah? Before or after lies of p?

spare talon
#

20 fps on the lowest possible settings, like "i cant see whats happening" low

#

keyword tried

tranquil owl
#

Thats interesting

#

When was this you tried?

#

Recently?

#

Or back near release

spare talon
tranquil owl
#

It ran smoothly for me, tho thats part due to studios unfortunately doing a bunch of console optimization and then spending 2 mins on pc version <_<

sterile stone
#

But the game has a boss rush mode

tranquil owl
#

Lotf?

sterile stone
#

That gives armor shaders

tranquil owl
#

I seen

sterile stone
#

Yeah

tranquil owl
#

It gives SHADERS

#

Yes

sterile stone
#

Yeah

#

I think one gives a all black and red shader

#

One gives black and gold

tranquil owl
#

I have only 1 rn that i like

sterile stone
#

One is like

tranquil owl
#

Yeah ima need to run that

sterile stone
#

There's a all white shader you can get

#

By joining their steam community

#

All white

#

All Black

#

And I think All red

#

Or all blue

#

I can't remember

tranquil owl
#

Also wish some of the boss gear would let us look like said boss just scaled down, like make our limbs look different if need be, unfortunately ik that'd then be a lot of extra animation work

sterile stone
#

@gray ice Don't you have the full pvp armor set in Lords of the Fallen

tranquil owl
#

With things like the skeleton set

obtuse garnet
#

got rb now for zealot

tranquil owl
#

You can farm pvp shop currency just by playing now

#

Just horrible drop rate

sterile stone
#

Best armor in the game hands down is the crusader looking armor.

tranquil owl
#

Tho the drop rate in pvp apparently isn't much better

sterile stone
#

It's just a pain in the ass to get cause the community is so small

#

So it takes forever to earn the currency

tranquil owl
#

The dark crusader armor?

sterile stone
#

Nah

tranquil owl
#

Didnt think so

sterile stone
#

There's like a saltzpyre warrior priest looking armor

#

With a hood and helmet

tranquil owl
#

Oooh that set

#

I've seen them all

sterile stone
#

Yeaaah

tranquil owl
#

So wondered

sterile stone
#

I mean you're kinda SoL getting that armor set unless a friend helps you

tranquil owl
#

There's the one with the candle arrangement being supported on the back

sterile stone
#

Finding randoms to guide through bosses is almost non-existent

tranquil owl
#

Which is wild

sterile stone
#

Angel of the Void

tranquil owl
sterile stone
tranquil owl
#

Just not as often as they should

#

Yup that one

#

If i play long enough I'll get all the sets

#

What i really want are the 3 extra starting classes

#

For each ending

sterile stone
#

I think I have the helmet for this set

tranquil owl
#

Thats epic

sterile stone
#

Pvp set you buy from the vendor later in the game

tranquil owl
#

I want all the umbral sets

#

Lemme look like a cosmic horror

Was rocking this set with gold and black shader

Those weird ass stone head mfs in the umbral are funny

#

I need it

The malice CIVI I just went into was hilarious.

Level 22 psyker with a ds and a recon thinks shes gonna kill crushers with her gun.

sterile stone
#

That's awsome they're still adding new armors to the game

#

I figured they'd abandon the game after all this time

I said They've been adding stuff to the game just dont know what was added when and what it is they added lol

sterile stone
#

Guess I'm gonna fuck around and redownload the game then

tranquil owl
#

For them

sterile stone
#

Yeah I watched a video on it

#

Apparently it didn't do all too well.

tranquil owl
#

I loved that game

#

Still do

#

Yeah

#

But tbh

#

Its fun as hell

#

Like stupid levels of fun

#

Well worth the cheap price its at now

#

This is why i don't look at a lot of reviews anymore tho as well

#

If i had, would have never played 2014 lotf and become a fan of the studio

#

Your class does matter in this game, its soulslike but also feels kinda like darksiders

#

You can mix two classes together eventually making hybrid builds

#

Mostly affects your passives and main ability

frosty herald
#

Hopefully they can make the surge 3

tranquil owl
#

But it also had some peak boss design, and they had special rewards for meeting the special requirement(s) when beating the boss

#

Like Surge has

#

And yes we need an Exosuit Souls 3

#

Surge is so much fun

tranquil owl
#

A really refreshing take on the genre

hard nexus
#

it looks like they just

#

lightly tap on their chest

#

like we don’t get any scenes of a doctor actually above the patient on the gurney

#

they’re always to the side doing terrible CPR

hard nexus
frosty herald
tranquil owl
tranquil owl
frosty herald
#

You want armor or weapons cut off limbs

hard nexus
tranquil owl
#

Which one is it?

hard nexus
#

it’s very good aside from a couple of minor inaccuracies

hard nexus
tranquil owl
#

Aaaah lol

hard nexus
#

i have cried at it i think 3 times

tranquil owl
#

Yeah, idk if i wanna get into it yet

sterile stone
tranquil owl
#

Cause i might need therapy after

hard nexus
sterile stone
#

The game goes on sale alot for sure.

hard nexus
#

it is gut wrenching

tranquil owl
#

See the game that inspired what their vision became

hard nexus
hard nexus
#

i meant wolp hi

#

but that works too

tranquil owl
#

Also, lotf 2014 was also had Adyr

#

But not the same

hard nexus
#

guardian of balance

tranquil owl
#

Shhh

hard nexus
#

i need to sleep

#

it is

tranquil owl
#

They haven't played it and it has good story

hard nexus
#

3:30am

tranquil owl
#

Lol

#

Yeah same here

hard nexus
#

but i cannot sleep

tranquil owl
#

But i wont

hard nexus
#

despair

tranquil owl
#

Exactly

#

Also have an appointment at 8am

hard nexus
#

not tired, can’t sleep, fall asleep at 11am, repeat

#

the cycle continues

#

the rot consumes

sterile stone
tranquil owl
#

So if i sleep now I'll just more miserable getting up in a couple of hours

sterile stone
#

You know the guy that shows up after you kill the tutorial boss

tranquil owl
#

Yeah

hard nexus
#

i’ve got an appointment but it’s at 5:30 so i have plenty of time

tranquil owl
#

They removed his fight from tutorial

sterile stone
#

Lame

tranquil owl
#

Yeah

sterile stone
#

Before if you killed him

#

He was gone for the rest of the game

tranquil owl
#

I think there's an option to bring it back

sterile stone
#

And you got unique dialogue for killing him early

tranquil owl
sterile stone
#

Yeah I killed him a second go around since I was geared

sterile stone
#

I went to his boss arena later int he game

#

Was just empty

#

Gets replaced with new enemies

tranquil owl
#

Okay, watched the cutscene for it

#

Wasn't too big a deal tbh

#

And it would lock you out of 2 side quests

#

Requiring you to fight him later on

#

One is for exclusive gear

#

The other to unlock dark crusader class for people who didn't pre-order

#

So that one didn't matter to me KEKW_ogryn

sterile stone
#

I should get around to getting that

frosty herald
#

We gotta make bro fight risen shagaru magala

sterile stone
#

His swords are/were god tier

#

Like alot of builds used them

tranquil owl
#

They're probably still god tier

#

I dont know if they did much nerfing if at all

#

Dont think they did

grizzled aspen
#

Never in my life would I look at auric board and think "aww there's no pox gas" until now.

#

I have like 6 missions left and then I never have to do a pox gas again.

sterile stone
#

I'm gonna redownload when I wake up and see if I can finish getting those pillaged coins for that armor set

tranquil owl
#

4 hour boss fight

sterile stone
#

You know what's crazy is

#

Someone probably has attempted it

tranquil owl
#

Wonder how feasible a sl1 run of lotf would be

#

The invuln frames are generous so

sterile stone
#

That depends on how you build

tranquil owl
#

Of course its buckets lmao

#

But I love the fist moveset lmao

#

I started as condemned

#

First time doing that in a souls game

#

Will be doing it always from now on

sterile stone
#

Fucked around and started as an archer

#

Followed the path of magic

tranquil owl
#

I love the idea of picking up and actually needing to use what you pick up in early game

#

Yeah i originally was gonna go umbral/wither

#

But might to radiance this time around

#

Then do infernal

#

Then do umbral

#

For each ending

#

Make the build match the themed ending

sterile stone
#

Umbral's reward was so underwhelming for NG

#

The other two endings give you better class starts

tranquil owl
#

Ive heard this

#

And its unfortunate

#

But honestly, once i have corpse rain idc

#

Cause its gonna be raining mf corpses

#

Also, Nioh series, one of the most inspired takes on the souls genre as a whole

#

Imo

sterile stone
#

I've seen Nioh

tranquil owl
#

Not necessarily via story

sterile stone
#

Never gott too much into it

tranquil owl
#

But gameplay is beyond what any souls like has done

#

And the ng+ system actually gives you real incentive to go through all 5

#

Gives the games an endgame grind after those 5 difficulties

sterile stone
#

Wasn't there a Chinese theme'd souls game

#

Not Wukong

tranquil owl
#

Wo Long?

#

Its also Team Ninja

sterile stone
#

I think so?

tranquil owl
#

But its nowhere near as hard as Nioh

#

Its really fun tho

#

The way gearing works in team ninja soulslike hybrids

#

Is gear eventually gets set bonuses that can drastically change how you play

frosty herald
#

Its like diablo

tranquil owl
#

You get some light set bonuses at first

#

Then when you hit endgame you get some heavier set bonuses

tranquil owl
#

But with team ninja games, you dont need a super particular specific piece of gear to drop, unless you just want its passive

#

What you're looking for is this set bonus or "grace" to be on the random gear you get

frosty herald
#

Hopefully well get nioh 3

tranquil owl
#

And then there's the set gear as well

#

We will

#

I feel it

#

And Nioh 2 did stupid well

#

I originally had a maxed out char with some broken builds, lost the data <_<

spare talon
#

i finally play a real game of darktide for once

tranquil owl
#

Haven't been able to do it again cause its just so much grinding

spare talon
#

1 lvl 28
dies 2x instantly
leaves
im alone with bots

frosty herald
#

The main point of nioh 3 is when its going to take place

twin wagon
frosty herald
#

In what era

acoustic dune
#

ey ey zealot

#

pissing on nurgling

#

is it worshiping?

frosty herald
#

Rise of ronin takes place during the black ships coming to japan and the shogunate

tranquil owl
#

Oooh yeh rise of the ronin

#

Man that game was sick

#

The combat rocks

#

And is hard af to master ngl

frosty herald
#

They could do nioh 3 with the retelling of the shogunate and expulsionists with amrita demon stuff

tranquil owl
#

I never fully did

#

Beat the final final mission once, that last bossrush

#

I wanted to cry lmao

#

Its so unforgiving

#

I could have loaded up Ninja Gaiden and been more relaxed

#

Unfortunately, Rise of the Ronin has a lot of unrealized potential

frosty herald
#

Gotta try that out then

#

Im currently playing rise of ronin

tranquil owl
#

Like some of the weapons certain chars use

#

Like chained twinswords

frosty herald
#

So nightmare against all corners it is😌

tranquil owl
#

You can get them

#

But cant use them the same way

#

<_<

#

Also no dlc was surprising for a team ninja title

#

A dlc adding a new zone(s) with two new weapon types and whatnot is literally what they do

mighty root
#

the agents of chaos (fatshark) decided that I’m not gonna have fun on melee psyker

tranquil owl
#

But they made a product they considered to be completed and i respect it

frosty herald
frosty herald
#

Like you cant just add more history to it

tranquil owl
#

Thats fair

#

The story had me fully immersed

#

Also really nice to see Team Ninja do a full fledged story like this

#

Showcases their flexibility

twin wagon
#

Assassin creed Shadows

tranquil owl
#

Nioh story is good, but not that good

#

Nioh 2 story is more involved

#

But rotr hits peak at times

tranquil owl
twin wagon
tranquil owl
#

Its not a historically accurate title through and through but did ubi ever say it was supposed to be?

#

Always thought it was gonna be more of a historical fantasy

#

As thats kinda been how ac has been since the beginning

#

Apple of Eden go brrbrr

twin wagon
#

Once you play Styx every rpgfied assasins creed feels lacking, stealthwise

Yasuke prob is the only fun part, but it's assassin's creed rpg combat...nothing new gets stale after several hours

tranquil owl
#

Yeah, ac combat is brain off take shrooms and laugh at the foolish enemies trying to kill a god

twin wagon
#

Atleast I got it through sub so in a week it's over and never spent 70 bucks on it

tranquil owl
#

It can be fun, just never expect it to be anything more than fun

#

Valhalla i could dual wield great shields

#

And then kill enemies with the silliest attacks I've seen in an ac game

#

And i LOVED IT lmao

#

On the other hand, download size is way too much

twin wagon
#

It's lacking some of the Odyssey charm for me too atleast romance wise

#

Its goobisoft, fh is still 140gbs

tranquil owl
#

Yeah, romance in Valhalla only has one worthwhile choice

frosty herald
#

Vahalla was stupidly bloated

tranquil owl
#

Yeah, the story wasn't bad tho imo

#

One of its good points

#

Idk about dlc, those are....interesting

#

Especially when DoR was cut from season pass to be released on its own

#

I understand its basically its own game in terms of size

#

But still <_<

grizzled aspen
#

Tried playing exe stance vet and got fucked in a gloriana because all 3 of my teammates were knife zealouts and had no horde clear.

#

:)

tranquil owl
#

3 knife in one lobby?

grizzled aspen
#

The fucking shovel vet was doing more melee damage than them.

grizzled aspen
#

I got netted through a cluster of crushers and just dc'd.

tranquil owl
#

The bestest friends they are

#

Alongside the kodama

tranquil owl
#

Scampus really can be terrifying technically

#

Maybe we'll see it in Nioh 3

#

Better see all the weapons in 3, just as we have with 2

#

Another amazing thing with Nioh

#

They continue to improve upon the weapons

frosty herald
#

Every team ninja game has a mandatory hayabusa clan cameo

tranquil owl
#

Tonfas in 1 were thought to be mid because we didn't really have a dps weapon, just high damage per attack, well, dual blades, but they have a lot of parries

#

Tonfas in 2 got their own stat

#

Courage

frosty herald
#

Also unique explosive tonfas to extend your combo

tranquil owl
#

Also tonfas in 1 were strong as hell

#

People were just bad with them

#

At least at first

#

In 2 we finally got a fist weapon

#

With a clawed varient

frosty herald
#

Nioh 1 filtered me

obtuse garnet
#

relic blade zealot feels fun

frosty herald
#

I couldnt beat the paralysis tengu

tranquil owl
#

Paralysis tengu? In 1?

frosty herald
#

That lady which does insane para buildup

tranquil owl
#

Yeeeh i remember now

#

Honestly you need to look up last to load and pooferllama on yt

#

Pooferllama might be one of the single best content creators for Nioh 2

frosty herald
#

Nioh 1 in general is just really hard

tranquil owl
#

His explanations of the mechanics and combat is the only reason i got good at the game

#

He explains so much

tranquil owl
#

The abyss

#

Something like 999 floors

frosty herald
#

Me using fists in nioh and only discovering at the end of the second run that fists have a combo buff

tranquil owl
#

Hehehe

#

Video bout something called Roko's Basilisk?

obtuse garnet
#

who has

#

flamer zealy build

tranquil owl
#

A thought experiment?

obtuse garnet
#

and monkey dash zealot

clever swan
tranquil owl
#

If you get messed up by existential dread, seriously dont look up rokos basilisk lol

polar nexus
#

there's not really a monkey flamer build

polar nexus
#

take flamer and knife and you can do both

wintry epoch
polar nexus
#

it's good in havoc, not really useful in auric damn because you don't really need to pause the game to take a breather

#

and the image doesn't say it's bad, just it's not as good as fotf

silk dawn
wintry epoch
#

I usually play regular heresy and damnation and maelstroms lol cause Im not good enough for auric

#

And damnation malestroms is usually the toughest thing I can do regularly

#

lol

silk dawn
#

Sure! Everyone enjoys having someone using relic on their team.
Take some space and some extra hits, keep your friends alive!

polar nexus
#

if you do regular mael you can do aurics

#

definitely hi int aurics at least

wintry epoch
#

I’ve been able to do heresy aurics a couple times but I can’t recall every being able to complete a damnation auric

silk dawn
polar nexus
#

the question is why do you use the relic? because you feel overwhelmed and need some space?

wintry epoch
#

Cause I think it’s cool

silk dawn
#

Damn good reason

wintry epoch
#

Don’t really like the charge as the distance feels to short sometimes

#

And tbh I don’t know what shroudfield does never used it

polar nexus
wintry epoch
#

I’m on Xbox

polar nexus
#

same thing

#

just don't release the button

silk dawn
wintry epoch
#

Is that the activate ability button?

polar nexus
#

yeah

wintry epoch
polar nexus
#

i don't think FS ever explained that in a tutorial tho

acoustic dune
polar nexus
#

but yeah, you can aim your charge

wintry epoch
#

I still haven’t done the penances involving shroudfield and loner I don’t want to lol

wintry epoch
#

I’ve done every single other zealot penance

silk dawn
# wintry epoch I hate stealth!!!

Aha, well seems like you got your answer.
If you like being the heart of the team, choose the relic
Of you would rather focus your own survival and speed, the charge is better

wintry epoch
#

Gif won’t load besides the “uh” and a very faded “hello”

(I hate stealth)

wintry epoch
#

Yeah I like sticking with the team and picking off everyone while my friend who’s psyker with the electric wizard stuns them

wintry epoch
#

And I usually run bolt pistol for tanks targets and distance and then fire grenade to throw at downed/ trappered teammates

silk dawn
wintry epoch
#

I used to do chainsword but been using relic blade a lot lately ever since getting back into the game
