Troubleshooter, when I first encountered a boss that had Forestallment (automatically attack the first enemy that enters adjacent tiles to you) and Bladestorm (25% chance of repeating single-target slashing attacks), and the Bladestorm caused his Forestallment to repeat.

I started to get and like the story and the characters, the fighting system started to get really fun with all kinds of cool techniques and enough mana to activate them often enough and the world opened up for exploration, making it feel like an adventure.

Painfully accurate.
The game peaked the first time I fought a griffin and it flew off with me.
Nothing else that interesting ever happened. Just more of the same until it was over. Maybe a second thin line of diamonds at the Unmoored World reveal, but it didn't end up actually being that interesting either.

>Ive barely even left the first zone, this is great!
>Wait, theres nothing else? Thats it?
I was actually loving it right up until I had nothing to do but the main quest, where you get taken to the other zones in the game and there is absoloutely nothing in them, they are a complete waste of space in teh game and I feel if Capcom didnt even make these zones they couldve rounded out and focused on making something actually good, and then you find that there was no Everfall or BBI equivelent, it was just done.

I liked the game but I have no desire to ever play it again. "keystone franchise" my ass, they abandoned it and now DD is dead for real.

>>723553134
dark souls 2 has so many upgrade materials for a reason
it actually encourages you to have a vast fleshed out arsenal, ranged weapons, multiple melee weapons, etc
Even just having like, a generic sword, a scythe and some throwing knives will help you greatly. But most idiots get mad with the game because they tried to go through all of it with merely a single melee weapon hoping to deal with everything like they did in DS1/DS3

You're supposed to beat it a gorillion times more, increasing the difficulty each time by a little bit. Yea I don't get it either.

For me the Great Plateau was the diamond part. I believed the rest of the world would be well designed like that first part and shrines would be as rare. Few parts were cool and they were always an enclosed area: snow mountain, Hyrule Castle, the island where you lose your stuff, that dark forest...

>>723545157 (OP)
Stranger of Paradise. I was in the catacombs or whatever the level is called where you fight lich, and I had my job setups to be Dark Knight and Paladin. I was draining my HP with Dark Knight wielding a greatsword, then when I was in the danger zone, I swapped to paladin with a sword and shield to become super defensive and regen HP until it was time to go back to dark knight. that game is so fucking kino.

>>723545768

>>723556253
Once you start messing around with more stuff to make a build and experiment with different class combinations, and eventually going for specific affinities, the game feels so much more open and fun. Only real issue is you got to find a spreadsheet to really look at everything and figure out what you want to try to go for (such as combining Dark Knight and Berserker affinities so you have permanent reflect and shell effects).

>>723545449
Shadowrun returns. There's a scant couple of hours or so in the early-mid game where you're just going on runs and making money, and it's the best part of the whole game. Pretty much every time the main plot gets involved the quality of the game drops.

What? It's the first time I hear someone having issues with these 2 in the game. Currency becomes a non-issue relatively early on, to the point where buying 20 save potions is a non issue and you also stop carrying everything you see on your dead enemies. Damn, after a while you stop even carrying the expensive weapons.

>>723558846
very true, the middle game sucks
but i wasnt very entertained by the lategame bosses and areas either compared to DS1/2, i think the Ringed City should have went all in on enemies such as the cool fire knights instead of spending too long on the weird swamps

>>723559423
it's for my own autism, the global ender chest lags when I open it, it's so filled. I fight and defeat 5 bandits, why would I leave their stuff behind? That is the reward, number go up etc.
It's got so bad I spend half the time in Bethesda titles just cleaning house, and in others looting dead guys during firefights. I don't end up selling all that loot either as the vendors in games have to be broke ass all the time, while selling 1 bear penis (battle-scarred) for 1 quintillion e-septims.

>>723560859
Anon, you have to get over this hoarding mentality. You know how hoarders end up in real life. In games like KCD, it teaches you early on that carrying everything is punishing. It's part of the learning curve, you have to learn what to pick up and what to leave behind.

what happened to us

>>723561194
it just triggers the reward part of my lizard brain, collecting and hoarding in games. Leaving loot behind is like not getting paid at work. In real life I can't stand clutter and only buy necessary and immediate items, no "live laugh love decoration" women stuff, so there isn't much danger of ending up on TLC.

With save states sure there are potions, but I could save 5 times during one night of stealing houses, or before every sword fight, I really don't want to do it all over again. Real life is punishing enough so in games me and probably many others prefer when things go smooth almost all the time.

nobody wants to hear it, but the reason the great plateau was so good is that you had to navigate it without a glider. the glider is a massive crutch that sucks the fun out of traversal by making it too easy. should've been a magic sheikah glider that only worked when you jumped off of a tower.

I dropped mh like 3 times getting to that point. I thought a the monsters looked bad or were too easy. Plus spending hours just gathering.
Once I got to barroth I realized the monsters could be pretty big, challenging, and fun to hunt. And its armor looked pretty cool.
I then proceeded to no life the game for a while. And its now my favorite series.
