Thread 714419040

I'm not sure what they discussed in meeting rooms when they made that game but I feel it's really badly addicting. Never ever got that feeling from FS games. I played all the other souls games a lot but always consciously. This game gives me weird feeling like extreme dopamine rush for 45 minutes. I now opened the Lies of P DLC and it's like coming down from addiction.

>>714419040 (OP)
Your first battle royale game, huh ?

>>714419040 (OP)
>addicting
addictive*

You're either a boomer who is living under a rock or an underage who only grew up with souls.

Its a fun game that fully embraces the arcadey side of souls that was always present.
I enjoyed these games as murder simulators where i can just kill everything and feel like im power tripping and this game appeals to that.
I see a group of enemies when im running away from the storm and i just HAVE to kill them.
I see a scarab when following a squadmates marker to a fort and i just HAVE to kill it.
My team mate sees a bell bearing hunter/death rite bird/ draconic tree sentinel at level 8 and he HAS to attack it while i run away spamming pings until he stops and retreats.
Its a fun game.
Its exactly what i wanted after bloodbornes very addictive chalice dungeons.
You should try getting into armored core 6 ranked pvp too. That's the only from game pvp that i actually enjoy. Its poorly balanced but theres a lot of actual skill involved with movement positioning and en management.
Video games!

Peak jittery gaming going from places to places.

I bought this last night, died twice to the Margit tutorial fight, and felt so ashamed that I refunded. I have 531 hours in ER btw.

Should I re-buy it and try again?

>>714422679
You're supposed to die to the tutorial boss.

>>714422870
you pretty much have to quit and never play again if you die to tutorial margit

i would go so far as to say that anon may even have to die irl due to such significant shame

>>714422870
it's fucking margit

>>714423125
You can always come back later. There is even get a special relic for it.

>>714422679
You're probably meant to die to tutorial Margit, in matches you usually are a higher level with better gear, more heals and also two real teammates when you fight him
Beating him is doable, and they even let you retry the fight from the hub whenever you want to attempt it again and give you a unique item if you win, but it's not expected.

>>714422679
Beating him is technically an optional challenge, but he's also likely harder than whatever your experience against him was in ER I RL1'd Morgott a few times and still took two or three attempts here. It gets easier when you understand both what Nightreign mechanics and the tutorial-specific mechanics let you do.

Any hope for Duskbloods. I know it's shit but it looks more interesting than Nightreign.

>>714423542
i expect it to run at 15 fps

>>714423542
It's not even on my radar since it's only on Switch.

>>714423372
>>714423525
Now that you mention it, I realize he actually had Morgott's moveset so I feel a little less ashamed.

>>714423306
How?

>in a bad way
Just stop playing

>>714423542
I just hope the pvp is good because it sucks balls in souls

>>714423706
It's in the tutorials menu.

I didn't like it at first. It was too crackhead/ADHD for me, but I've gotten accustomed to it. It still doesn't fit with my slow and steady play style, but I deal.

>>714419227
Thank you Goebbels.

>>714419148
its not battle royale, retard

>>714419040 (OP)
Being forced into using the hundreds of weapons and spells you wouldn't normally use keeps things surprisingly fresh, despite the limited randomization otherwise. It's mostly just a flavor change, but as a STRfag it's just different enough with DEX weapons, or spells and incants beyond the usual tried and true, to stay interesting.

>>714419040 (OP)
There are arguments to be made that past Fromsoft games have been good or bad, but this was the first time it felt like they were straight up resorting to slop
>>714422451
90% of the "normal adult world" is addicted to slop food and staring at their phone. "Everything around me is designed to rape my mind" is not abdication of responsibility, it is a factually true observation about the state of the world

>>714419040 (OP)
I feel like I'm being trolled when someone says they like Nightreign but the Steam charts prove that people are that retarded.

>>714426429
At least 50% of the time, I end up using the starting weapon the whole time and upgrade it to purple.

>>714426880
i think the game will start to die off next week as the content drip they've been doing is going to be over

>>714426958
Revenant's the only character I've ever considered that on, and I still usually end up tossing +1 claws after finding some other blue or purple FTH weapon that both outdoes them and has a passive.

>>714419040 (OP)
I just want like, 30seconds mid day to just stop running
It's always GOGOGOGOGOGO and I'm trying to read the items

>>714427130
It's a decent tactic if you have a relic that gives your starter weapon the boss's weakness.

>>714423372
wait you can retry him? how?

>>714427325
See >>714423896

>>714427385
cooolio

>>714427130
Actually I lied, I forgot how good having blood+frost(+poison) on a starting weapon was with Executor since I don't play him much. Also pretty good on Ironeye since bows with elements or status won't have passives anyway.
Usually I slot Hoarfrost Stomp or boss weakness and ditch it anyway midgame.

Is Seppuku worth using here? Executor has a stacking damage buff for each cast, but I can't tell if it's really worth the setup time or HP cost.

>Hard Adel's storm move was neat but otherwise the fight was pretty much the same
>Hard Fulgur was great, almost an entirely new moveset that makes the fight feel very different
>Hard Gnoster was terrible, basically just phase 1 again but longer and with more chances to take chip damage from the same projectile spam
Now I guess we wait and see if they have more hard modes done that just weren't in the files to get datamined or if they loop back to Adel and we have to wait like two months for anything new

>>714425856
stfu idiot

>>714432518
>or if they loop back to Adel
They said when everdarks were implemented that these three would be the weekly rotation initially.

>>714432685
Well I guess I can skip the waiting to find out and go straight to the disappointment then

>>714432518
Didn't they update the page recently and imply that all the nightlords barring Libra and Helestor are in the initial rotation?

I don't necessarily mind relic roulette, but FUCK could you PLEASE allow me to auto-sell any non purple dogshit immediately? Honestly it would be best if you could just select what to sell directly on the mission complete screen too.
That and some option to pay significantly more Murk for a guaranteed t3, getting one per superboss is just insulting.

>>714435834
I always go to the shop immediately after a run and sell shit.

>>714435834
I think the color system is pointless and exists to waste time. There should be a relic color conversion system where you use uhhh 20 everdark sigils or something to convert a relic.

>>714436210
>>714435834
there should also be a relic upgrade system and a way to reroll 1 of the lines, it gives me darktide 1.0 vibes where the system is incomplete

>>714427037
Steadily declining

>everdark bosses come out
>beat them all first try except gaping cause of his gacha tornado
damn.

>>714422679
>>714426758
I'm interested in the game, but it just feels morally wrong to spend any money on it

>>714439593
So far, I've beat all three on the first time I fought them. I might have just been lucky and had a good team. Earlier today, I did the recent one and we all hit level 15 pretty early. Not to mention we had a good team spread. I was Ironeye with a starting fire bow. The other two were Raider and Wilder. Raider even found a Candlestand.

>>714439601
I spent around 10 hours playing it before stopping. It was at times fun, but it felt dirty seeing Fromsoft invoke the same tropes used seriously in their other games - the bonfire lady, the cryptic ramblings, grimdark fantasy setting - to justify the setting of a asset flip loot treadmill

it's fun but they somehow released a roguelike with 20 hours worth of content, everdark bosses hardly counts as new "content", especially when killed on the first attempt

>>714441954
Yeah honestly if you remove rememberances, roundtable, Elden Ring aesthetics, FromSoftware standard music, and boss aesthetics, what is left is not very pretty and would never get From core players as it does now.

>>714419040 (OP)
It's a fine game, but I don't know what you're talking about. They literally just slammed every subgenre that's gained popularity while they've been making Souls games together. I don't think they put all that much thought into it.
