Is it good?
Base game was fine but very linear and more of a boss rush

>>712448995 (OP)
Its already out i rembember it would came out in June but i dont rembember they saying the exactly date!

>>712448995 (OP)
Yes

>>712448995 (OP)
Its good but if you disliked the linearity of base game then this wont change your tune

>>712448995 (OP)
It's peak
Also im a Niohchad so linear level design doesnt bother me

>>712448995 (OP)
It's great, new weapons are fun, some of the best bosses, lore drops are kino

It's better than SOTE

>>712448995 (OP)
Bros, is the base game good? It looks like Bloodborne, is it hard?

t. Might buy

>>712455176
It is quite hard even when you get the parry mechanic down but very rewarding as well. It was definitely worth it for me since i like bumping my head against the wall for hours on end.

>>712455176
It's probably the best non-Fromsoft Soulslike game in terms of gameplay and production value.

>>712455340
>When you're really, REALLY into /ss/

>>712455431
It's better than most fromsoft games i would argue. It's not as good as Bloodborne and Sekiro for me, but it's better than Elden Ring aside from the latter's massive scale.

>>712448995 (OP)
How do I fix this?

>>712455817
buy it instead of pirating

>>712456000
I bought it though

>>712455817
update gpu drivers

>>712456045
pirate it instead of buying

>Elementary, my dear Watson

Test

>>712456072
Nvidia says I'm up to date

>>712455176
Base game (and DLC) is good, albeit pretty linear
They added difficulty options so even shitters should be able to get by just fine

>>712456425
Do those difficulty options go in both directions?

>>712448995 (OP)
Nothing wrong with linear, sometimes its nice just to focus on combat instead of checking every single nook and cranny in labyrinthine levels
DLC is more of the same, but the bosses are excellent (ymmv on the croc) the new weapons are great and it adds a lot to the story of the base game, its also hard as nails even on a NG on Legendary Stalker, which is the best way to play

>>712455817
I'll try this

>>712456736
The original difficulty is called Legendary Stalker and the description calls it the "stabdard difficulty", and the two new ones are just easier
They also added a boss rush mode that adds two higher difficulties to each boss but not to the whole game

>>712448995 (OP)
I'm getting real good at spotting these.

Can't beat the fucking viking monster underground

>>712457236
Veronique? Or another one im not remembering?

>>712448995 (OP)
>need to have progressed to a certain point in order to start dlc
>I’ve already started NG+

>>712459012
The game is a breeze on NG+. You can progress to that point in 8 hours or less.

>>712458692
Oh, the Anguished Guardian?
He's pretty weak to fire. Try to be careful on his second phase - if you don't know the timing well enough to parry then it's not a bad idea to just guard

>>712459152
I wanted to start the DLC tomorrow night though

>>712459152
What I like most about NG+ is that the game gives you a fuckton of ergo for leveling up
I went from Level 80ish at the end of NG to level 180 at the end of NG+

>>712459446
There are dlc-ready save files on Nexus you can use

The asylum level is dogshit.

I'm debating whether to continue from my save after having not played for maybe 1½ years or to just start a new save. Too bad there's only like 2 different builds in the game and it's linear

>>712448995 (OP)
I still have yet to see a souls game from software with a cool finisher fatal attack like the one in anguished guardian, kino af, reminded me of old gow games

>>712459984
I plat'd the game while it was on gamepass and got all the endings/ upgraded all weapons
For the DLC i just pirated and start another run, base game is good and i havent played in a while so its good practises

>>712459984
3 builds, Motivity, Technique and Advance, people sleep on Advance, but those status weapons are fucking insane and you turn the already powerful throw-able items into mini nukes

The two new arms are both fucking insane
>rotating discs you can throw from afar for easy, free damage or to damage bosses in the middle of their combos
>a fucking shotgun with wide range that can oneshot most basuc enemies
Feels damn good

>>712460270
>>712460543
How far into the game is the dlc?

Feels good to finish the DLC just in time for PoE, if this is Neowiz first attempt at soulslike then I can't wait to play the sequel.

>>712460615
reach the end of chapter 9 (about 10-12 hrs, depending on how you do on bosses) and you can start the DLC

>>712460615
You have to reach Chapter 9 out of 11

>>712460615
Chapter 9, when the rabbits raid the hotel is when you can access it.

I just reached the Isle of Alchemists and the memories there are suggesting Stalkers were a thing before the Frenzy. I thought they were groups formed after the Frenzy to keep the puppets in check and protect the remaining population, if not, then what was their purpose before and how were they formed?

>>712460865
I think I read something in either a loading screen or a DLC note that they were originally a sort of citizens militia - there were the Bastards for the upper class elites and the Stalkers for the more common folk

>>712460270
>plat'd
>on gamepass
Goybox chuds think they can be on the level of us sonybros.

>>712460865
Just watch a lore video on YouTube.
I thought I understood the lore just from playing the game alone until I saw how little I knew.

TIME TO EXIT MY STAGE

Str or dex?

>>712461203
THIS PAAAAIIIIIIIIIN

>>712461203
GO ON SHOW ME

>>712461232
Both have cool stuff. I'd say go with your gut. You can respec later. The Dragon Glaive you get at the start is dex, if you want to have an optimal build for it.

>>712461203
>fight him with lea
>they have some banter back and forth

>fight him solo
>he starts by mocking you, but slowly becomes confused and angry because he cant figure out how you're so goddamn strong
Absolute ludo

>>712461815
>You can respec later
Aren't starting choices offering an extremely suboptimal stat spread if you want to switch to another stat?

>>712462032
What do ya mean?
The starting stat spread doesnt mean much in this game (or in most souls games really) since you'll get enough levels to pump up any stat you like by the end, even without respeccing
And since weapon scaling is based off the weapon handle, and upgrade points go towards the blades, you're not in danger of locking yourself out of a fully upgraded weapon after a respec

>>712448995 (OP)
it's more of the same, if you liked the base game the DLC is more of it.

>>712462328
I think you have more than 10 wasted levels if you to with dex start and then try to switch to str or the other way around.

>Can't rest between bosses
>Someone is going to eventually do all of these in one go on difficulty 5

>>712461232
dex for the azure dragon crescent glaive

>>712462562
Maybe, but a lot of weapons are quality scaling (so both STR and DEX) so I wouldn't call it wasted necessarily
There's a balanced weapon you can start with that also gives you equal points str and dex to start with iirc

>>712462694
I'm sure ongbal is already on the scene

>>712462694
>no cheevos related to boss rush
isn't this kind of stuff the point of cheevos?

>>712462703
>greatsword
>scales with dex
Schizo game

>>712462853
its a glaive

>>712455340
Cute!

What the FUCK was his problem?

>>712463234
He's a freemason.

>>712461232
Dex for first playthrough, as the game is geared toward faster attacks, especially the DLC.

>>712458290
I had this issue as well, I just went to DX11 and it magically didnt crash anymore

>>712463370
I found str weapons much stronger
>Stagger
>Damage
>Block %
>They are generally longer
Also the best handle art in the game, turning all block into deflect, is on str handles.

>>712463234
He was literally just pic related until he met his wife, then losing her hollowed him out again. There's a note in the DLC where he refers to Carlo as just "the child" or "the boy", the man is absolutely fucked in the head.

Bros, the claws are so cool
How do I stop myself from just finishing the game just so I can play through the start again with the claws?
I wish some form of NG+0 or early dlc access was available

>>712463576
There's another note to Antonia where he shows a bit more remorse for how he treats Carlo (where he says that note is "from a father" as opposed to the other note which was "from the head of the workshop union")
But yeah he was a neglectful dad that went a little cookoo after his wife and son died lol

is this one of those soulslikes where all the focus is on bosses busting your balls?

>>712463863
Yes

Carlo is definitely into getting mommydommed

>>712455817
Unstable OC, most likely. Kept happening to me when I pushed my shitty 4070 to 2820@975.

>>712463570
All true, but str weapons are generally slower and require more precise timing and positioning, which is why I think dex might be easier for a first time player

>>712463863
There's also plenty of normal/elite enemies to bust your balls.

>>712463863
yes, but they chinked out and if you ever get frustrated, you can just turn the difficulty down to "basically unkillable" levels
which is a shame, the specter was more than enough of an easy mode

I made it all the way to chapter 4 of dlc on ng+ before I had to drop the difficulty down to awakened puppet, shit is just way too fast and doing way too much damage.

>>712454509
Why would a doll need a bulge? It's not like it can get an erection

>>712464918
Which enemy or boss got you?
So far my NG+ run is going fine but i only just reached the hotel - already beat it NG0

> Here's your armor, boy

>>712448995 (OP)
It's good but lacks quantity and challenge for its pricetag.

Managed to beat the DLC before nerfs happened, phew. Absolutely hate this new trend of adding difficulty modes to games and then making the default difficulty ball bustingly hard.
Now to play some lolige, I'm done with this.

>Man this final boss is pretty cool so far, glad they brought him back for the DLC
>Phase 2 cutscene

>>712465190
>"GO ON! SHOW ME!"

>>712458290
yep this fixed it was able to play until now from that post without any crashes

fuck nvidia

>>712465006
Lumacchio his damage output and speed were driving me nuts and he also had like way more poise than most human bosses I’ve fought on top of that.

>>712455176
>looks like bloodborne
cause the combat is basically bloodborne with sekiro's parry added in. they add other mechanics too though, like how you need to do a full charge heavy attack to stagger enemies.
the game is incredible, easily top 3 soulslikes imo (including fromsoft games)

>>712464320
not overclocking anything or at least im not aware i am

>>712462837
Hollow Knight was nice because it gave you in-game baddges/cheevos for completing challenges so you could bring up a page and show it off

>>712463234
He was just another alchemist asshole and things only really clicked for him when he lost his wife and son. Then he tried to course correct catastrophically way too late and even went about that wrong.

Thinking of doing another run from beginning to DLC and then ending to experience the full package for NG+. What's a good weapon to do so with

>Stick with ark sword
>Twin dragon blade
>Legendary Stalker's sword
>Something else

>>712465992
Lea's ofc. All the outfit and the sword.

>>712465992
Legendary Stalker Sword is very fun and OP so I vote that

>Pale Knight
>Cataclysm
>P-Organ upgrades to R2/Staggers
>Auto regenerating legion
I've never had so much fun with this game

>>712466113
>>712466115

>Only one music disc to get by lying to Eugenie about Alidoro's identity
>Do that
>No music disc
>Turns out, you can't get it if you decrypt Alidoro's message first
Worst fucking questline in the entire game, at this point I will just cheat and give myself the disc, I'm not doing another NG+ cycle for this garbage.

>>712464873
>which is a shame, the specter was more than enough of an easy mode
Not against Romeo and the 4v1 Black Rabbits. There's also some bosses with health bars that don't let you summon a specter.

>maniac’s pinwheel blade + la vendetta handle

>>712466664
He's basically a distraction, which is invaluable in any encounter, even if he gets his ass beat, he'll at least distract the boss enough for you to get some good hits in, this includes Romeo and the Black Rabbits
>There are also some bosses with health bars that don't let you summon
funny enough, those are always the ones that filter people, I wonder why that is

>>712466585
Game's fun though and you unlock new P-Organ stuff with each new NG+ until you get shit like blocking unblockable attacks and other such things after a certain point

>>712466260
The cataclysm feels so goddamn meaty, i love it

>>712466759
>yo dawg i heard you like spinning

Im done with this shit game. was fun until the end boss. but I really cant sacrifice 10 hours of my life to learn all those shitty moves.

Im fine with a hard phase 2 but if it always takes 10 minutes to get to phase 2 and then have no fucking time to learn the actual move sets of phase Im out.

it feels so shit to waste so much time.

>Running with the Lorenzini Bolt charged R2

>>712468272
just use lea you fucking retard, it's the intended way

>>712468350
I rather stop playing and uninstall than using a summon

>>712468475
Buck broken fromtard

>>712468475
holy autist, why even play lop if you don't care about the characters? did you also skip every cutscene?

>>712468475
Lea isn't a summon, not to mention you get unique dialogue/finishing moves if she is there
if you are that anal about not being able to win solo, just beat him with Lea and then rematch him at the hotel stargazer
or just stop playing, whichever makes you happy

I play football with my team. Instead of playing 11vs11 on the field we decide to get a 12th man to join us. we win. did this feel right? no its cheating

>>712468272
I just used an electric grindstone + two dragon sword charged parry to shred his first phase - took me under a minute to get through phase 1 and I could hit phase 2 with all my pulse cells remaining

>>712468994
then fucking stop crying about it and beat him already

>>712468994
The game lets you play with Lea. It's inside the rules, you are just playing a 11vs11 game as an 8vs11.
You are a fucking retard.

>>712468994
This isn't football retard. Also the boss is not beholden to the same rules as you, he has no green cuck bar and his poise is infinite.

Why did HE do that at the very end of the DLC, bros?

>>712469274
Simply too based
he probably nlamed lea and romeo for carlo's death and wanted revenge, as well as making sure lea couldnt stop him in the futurea

>>712465098
Is there no new cock ring in the DLC? I found every other defense item

>>712448995 (OP)
I got the base game a few days ago, stopped at the lobster bar today. The game slowly grew on me, the scrapped watchman took the longest to beat. Some parry timings are just wonky as fuck and Elden Ring has nothing on this game's delayed attacks. I went from the shock hammer to the fire axe to currently the fire dagger as far as weapons go. I was ready to quit at the watchman until I unlocked the quartz shit and the game became more enjoyable. I'm going to finish the game before I think about the dlc but overall I've started to enjoy it. Do you get to respec the quartz at some point?

>>712455176
incredibly overrated. terminal fromdrones like it because they think memorizing boss timings - spending at least two hears learning each new boss - is peak souls experience.

>>712469628
>Do you get to respec the quartz at some point?
yes

>>712469714
Souls games were originally never about memorising boss timings, you're thinking about nufans who jumped on board post-BB

>>712469628
>Do you get to respec the quartz at some point?
Yes, after the final boss of chapter 7 I think
You can also respec upon starting ng+

>>712469714
>spending at least two hears learning each new boss
Unironic shitter

>>712469274
possibilities:
1: He wanted to remove whoever won the Lea vs Arle fight so they wouldn't be a problem later
2: He wanted Romeo to use as the King of the Puppets

>>712469815
Yeah those are the terminal fromdrones.
Actual DeS --> DS2 fans (DS2 haters can fuck off) know that the strength of the series is the hostile level design that rewards being patient and playing smart, with trial and error being a punishment for being a retard rather than a prerequisite to actually beat every single new enemy

>>712469773
>>712469827
Thanks.

>>712469923
I don't consider people who like the new style of fromsoft souls formula to be fromdrones cus they like the gay new shit

>>712463234

Question.

I bought the base game but I pirated the DLC and installed it, and I'm playing it on steam. The achievements of the DLC will work on?

>>712470931
be happy that it works in the first place, who cares about cheevos

>>712448995 (OP)
This game gives you a weapon for free at the start, is that worth using? Dragon claive or something. Probably makes the game too easy?

>>712448995 (OP)
The P stands for Paizuri btw

That was pretty neat boss.

>the peak of human evolution
>got ignored for some weak little girl with blue hair

Holy shit that Lumacchio fight was really good

just bought the base game and havent started yet. what do i think of it?

>>712465190
>circular chainsaws come out of his back
>dat crimson cloak
Absolutely elder god tier design

>>712471878
He's the best "human" fight in the game, easily.

>>712471636
It seems balanced, to me. Not weak or overpowered. Better than the starting weapons, I guess. So I say use it if you like it.

>>712471647
>The breast jiggle when she gets up

>>712472260
Why is it included in the first place? I have a pirated copy so I thought it was some preorder bonus but no actually according to wiki everybody gets it since version 1.5

>>712472361
It's a wo long collab weapon so it comes with wo long deflect.

I started a fresh game since I want to do another few playthroughs from scratch. The Wo Long items aren't showing up, not that I bother using them bit it's still weird. I get the Christmas and Alidoro stuff bit that's it. Anyone else have that issue?

>>712466883
>you unlock new P-Organ stuff with each new NG+
P-Organs go beyond phase 5 on subsequent NGs?

>>712473884
yes

>>712473884
Yup, you get a Phase 6 on NG+ and a Phase 7 on NG++
I dont think there's anything after that

>>712473949
>>712473971
That's actually a fucking brilliant incentive to play more.

It doesn’t happen to me but I have seen some others say they have that problem. Haven’t seen a solution for it yet.

>>712448995 (OP)
I'm sure it's great. I loved Lies of P. But being accessible via chapter 9 and not being sold as a stand-alone game stopped me from buying it. The shadowdrop took me by surprise, and not in a good way given the requirements. Maybe I'll pick it up in the future.

>>712474734
>crows
I can hear the resemblance

>>712475502
Yeah I wound up having to speedrun through the base game, wish I'd thought to do that sooner for a fresh save.

>>712474734
I recognized the voices of Sebille and Astarion from both divinity original sin 2 and baldur's gate 3 respectively and they both killed it with their performances.

I didn't realize saves were stored in the games directory and lost all motivation to play...
This is my karma for being a piratefag

>>712460865
Stalker are two different groups. The bastards (bodyguards and muscles for the old noble families of Krat) and the Sweepers (hired low level thugs for the alchemists) Their job was just a militia, I think they were responsible with dealing with puppets that either showed awakened ego (like arrly) or dealing with puppets that were malfunctioning due to damage.
The legendary Stalker wasn't part of either of those two groups.

I'm honestly surprised to see how many people didn't have saves ready for the DLC
what exactly were you expecting? Did you not have ANY files with a clear game?

>>712448995 (OP)
Lies of P a boss rush? The fuck?

You can equip your left hand with some contraption but as far as I've played it's only ever a bonus move rather than being a genuine range option

There's a bow in the DLC and (surprisingly strong) throwable items in the base game but not much aside from that

I'm playing through the base game again to reach the dlc and this is pissing me off so much. Nice to see it's probably even worse in the DLC.

I especially love bullshit where you can't tell when the enemy chain ends because there are such massive pauses between attacks but just short enough so you get hit if you try to attack inbetween

Question to people who know this game, does armour matter? Or more precisely, is lower eq load better than higher armour

>>712481519
She's kinda easy when you just focus her down.

DLC added some sick fashion

Krat was fucked beyond belief the moment the alchemists started mass producing their ultracancer inducing mountain dew right? There was never any hope of fixing it especially when Geppy decided to get involved with his grand resurrection plan

>>712482192
Yeah, it was always fucked. If anything, Romeo probably gave it a bit more time by fighting back.

I just realized that Romeo was suspended inside the King of Puppets in exactly the same pose Arlecchino hanged him in the Rose Estate Garden
Geppetto is a fucking asshole.

Any good tips for Marikona? I hear she's weak to Acid so I want to see any good weapon assemblies

>>712481958
equipment load affects:
>stamina used on dodges
>how fast you dodge
>running speed
>how fast you walk

there are 4 thresholds
under 60%
under 80%
under 100%
100%+

for the most part I'd say anything under 80% should be fine, unless you are a speedrunner, the actually unequipped shit to move faster when they are just running around.

>>712482548
holy based

>>712482656
I think there's a light load but it has to be REALLY low, as in, unless you take off all armor or pump up capacity in NG+, you're unlikely to see it

acid grindstone and just use a big weapon to bonk her with r2. only focus her.

Slippers of D when?

>>712482656
Is there a big difference between under 60 and under 80

>Veronique uses a cool as fuck fire hammer
>you can't get it
I'm mad, even Lumacchio uses a weapon you can get, but Veronique's is unobtainable despite being cool as fuck

>>712483502
The acid hammer you get in one of the shipwrecks is basically the rocket hammer moveset wise. Even has an acid version of the flame jet.

>>712483613
despite the handle being motivity, that weapon scales MUCH better as an advance wep
slap it on something like the carcass axe handle and its really fucking good

>>712483284
Just slightly. Not as negative as being over 80%.
If you are going low equip load you better be dodging/parrying, if you can't dodge/parry for shit then there's literally no benefits on being under 60% overt equipping armor.

>>712475676
I specifically didn't finish the base game so I could just hop into the DLC when it was ready.
But they released it the day after Deltarune so I haven't had much time to play it.

>>712484512
>he gave her a choker

>>712483502
isnt lumacchios the umbrella you get at the beginning of base game?

>>712484265
Advance scales up status weapons, those weapons are surprisingly powerful, especially since they can stack, pumping advance also makes your throwables even more powerful
you are more limited in the amount of weapons you can get the most out of, but the ones you can are fucking crazy, the DLC in particular added this thing and its honestly absurd if you have high advance and slap an advance crank on it

>>712484656
Not quite at the beginning, but you can get it as soon as you meet Alidoro in the cathedral, not the strongest, but its a great early technique weapon

today I will defeat the overseer
got him to 20% hp a bunch of times yesterday, he seems easier than veronique and markiona

>>712479365
I used this one (save2) it's at level 80 + extra souls so you can upgrade what you want

You do have the Mistress of Hounds, who of course has dogs with her.
After you beat her you get a doggy in the hubs and you can summon dogs to bossfights.

dex sissies, is there a better dlc weapon than the bow for us?

>>712484854
How high is your Advance? What's your stat layout?

>>712485293
Monad's Rose

>>712485408
I haven't moved it to NG+ yet, but by the time I finished the DLC, I had about 35 Advance and then spread the rest around to vigor, capacity, etc
its not that big of an investment, just ensure you use those advance cranks on weapons you really wanna take further, desu the starting 3 element weps (electric coil, salamander knife and acid spear) are all excellent weapons and you get them all early on, so an ADV playthrough even on a new game is comfy and you feel powerful right out the gate
you also get to make the most of the legion arms that use elements too

>>712485293
The claws are fucking killer and the rocket lance isn't the finest dex weapon, but it is fun as fuck

>>712485293
Yeah, the claws are better than anything else until the broken monad rose weapon, which also has technique scaling

>>712478858
>screen-wide grab

>>712485942
Which legion arm(s) do you use?

>>712482643
don't focus on the puppet, but just stay aware of it
it doesn't attack when the cord is blue
instead of trying to attack when it's blue, wait for red, evade then punish
wait for the cord to turn red then block and dodge the puppet / attack markiona
I didn't use acid but kept the parry grindstone for when she does the golden fury
or you can dodge/run from the golden fury/explosion and punish markiona on the last attack
she has a couple of easy parries but for the most part you can just dodge or block and get the regain

>>712486379
general rule for elements is:
acid on human
fire on zombie
electric on puppet

>>712485293
Claws, easily

>>712486379
I alternate between them, depending on the situation, electric is best on puppets, fire for carcass enemies, acid for humans, they are all pretty good

>>712478858
>doesn't doesn't stop attacking
Where is his stamina?

>>712486449
I did the opposite and focused the puppet and beat her first try. Was using police baton handle with living puppet blade with the shotgun arm and parry grindstone

>>712485293
>Wolverine claws
n'ough said

>Look to see if there are any interesting mods on nexus

>>712487385
>"sekiro-like" mods
I wish to know more

>>712487470
well the first one that says that literally just makes the parry timing larger and makes you able to spam it faster

>>712487607
Ew

>>712487470
There’s a mod that makes the parry window/recovery the same frames as Sekiro. I have it installed and it makes the game a lot more fun imo.

>>712482643
Get her puppet to very low health
Focus on Markiona
As soon as phase 2 starts or is near starting, take out the puppet
Wail on Markiona as she heals it

I did this and she had barely any time to use phase 2 attacks

>>712488273
dodging has more depth. There's a lot of moves in the game that they want you to dodge as oppose to parry

>>712488273
damn that sounds awesome but if I install it, will I beat the game?

>>712488786
Unfortunately no, because you parried.

>>712448995 (OP)
This was one of the worst games /v/ recommended to me.
This game flanderized the souls series before elden ring did
All enemies have super armor
You never have any super armor or poise
Your weapon constantly bounces off walls and random debris while enemy attacks will literally clip through pillars and hit you
Upgrades are meaningless since enemies are constantly scaling stronger than you
Bosses both have extremely fast attacks and mixed random delays with randomly extending attack chains
Enemy and player damage is randomized up to + or - 20%, so no strategic resource management
Every single corridor, ladder, stairs, and treasure has an ambush behind it.
Gank squads and projectile spam everywhere
Party timing is so tight you may as well just dodge instead.
Weapon assembly system punishes you for mixing heavy or elemental weapon components due to speed and scaling penalties
Your character is so slow that it takes 2 full seconds to dodge or heal after swinging a non-light weapon
Enemies have pixel perfect tracking meanwhile you have to manually turn to attack moving enemies
Haven't even played the dlc yet but I've heard they doubled down on all the issues

>>712489596
Not reading all of that. I beat it for the first time recently, going in completely blind. It's an okay game, it's not bad but it's not amazing either.

Whatever your complaints are they're hyper exaggerating. The most offensive thing about this game is just that it's boring sometimes.

>Its already out i rembember it would came out in June but i dont rembember they saying the exactly date!

>>712489596
>Upgrades are meaningless since enemies are constantly scaling stronger than you
lol what?
enemies don't scale - they're set based on whatever NG cycle you're on and whatever area you're in
just like any fromsoft game, upgrading your weapon and scaling attributes is hugely important
not readint the rest of your stuff

>>712489596
>All enemies have super armor
>You never have any super armor or poise
What fucking game did you play? The majority of enemies you fight can just be mashed through and you have obvious poise on heavy weapons or on all of the fable arts.
Clearly not worth reading the rest of your post if you're gonna start off with such blatantly false info

>>712489596
