I'll consider it.

@@existentialcrisis31 been a while since this run, idr if maybe they changed that on later patches, i know that now the run is slower on current patch but havent checked the details in a long time so maybe check that, besides that, any difference should be shown in the run

@AxelSG ah ok thanks

that's gachas for ya. Also I'm f2p in this game

@@AxelSG falafel 2 pizza?

@@satyasyasatyasya5746 Gonna assume u are just joking but just in case somehow you didn't know: F2P = free to play.

@@AxelSG yes, yes I was kidding haha but nice to know you think so little of me :P (that was such a you thing to say hahaha)

Thx! I'm almost done with the full game, missing 2 minimedals and 1 optional boss fight, haven't played in a few days but probs this week I'll get back to it

@@AxelSG alrighty, can we expect a review? :P

@satyasyasatyasya5746 i plan on, after i 100% it

@@AxelSG cool cool

I appreciate the thought but all I wanted was just something that worked enough, and I did that. Never really liked making builds in this kind of games. Glad you enjoy it tho, thx for watching and commenting!

@@satyasyasatyasya5746 I actually fcked up the time of release for this vid lol, wtvr tho

@@AxelSG oh? did we get an early one? :D

@@satyasyasatyasya5746 yeah, 12h early

@@AxelSG i-i can't believe it, its like winning the lottery 🤣😂🥲😭

Just saw you level up

Yeah, not seeing the party in battle is a bummer, but i'm having fun. Of course, DQ8 on top for the foreseeable future

@@AxelSG i suppose its more old school. it was an innovation back in the day the first time you could see your party do stuff in battle

I feel the same, sadly there's a lot of that in action games nowadays, shoving the parry mechanic down our throats in order to play the game in any decent way, very limiting :/ Not only that but ki management in this game is terrible too

@@AxelSG totally agree, the ki management and also some animations being way too long considering how quick the combat is. I think the game would have been so much better with just a couple decisions going the right way instead of what they did, with very small changes it would open a lot more space for fun in combat

i see, sorry to hear that, imo it's not a specially complicated game, but I could try to give a bit of a tutorial for rookies, tho centered on the longsword cuz I haven't messed around with the other weapons much xd

@@AxelSG Its not so much the 'logic' of the game. I get the concept and gameplay loop; I get what is expected of you when you play, ya know? Heck I love Wild Hearts - which is another monster hunting game and far simpler/cleaner (you might like it actually, its super japanesey and the character creation is basically the one from Nioh2 with even more stuff xD). Anyways, what I'm trying to say is, the game is just like... menu to menu, screen to screen, the tabs in tabs in tabs, the countless items in tiny little black boxes, some of the baffling inconsistent controls; its just overwhelming. There's no down time at first to get your bearings either, you're just dumped into a hunt. Like, its all visually too busy aswell, all the aforementioned tiny black squares, the endless icons you have no idea what they mean, fiddling with the radial menu, the sub menus in tabs in submenus just to gesture for example, its just kinda noisey to me. Its too many button presses away from doing basic things - which is a very important concept in game/tech design. Like, if it they redesigned the menus and HUD and such to be super clean, clear, elgant, sure I'd like it, but they won't. I feel so overstimulated/overloaded when i just try to navigate menus all the time. I really hope i'm not the only one. I think the issue is that as a series, its gone on for so long and adopted and adapted so much, adding more and more things without really integrating or streamlining, that and unless you've been with it for a while, its just too much for any new player. The floor is just too high to get on with it. I gave MonsterHunterWorld a really good try several times, but I found myself totally avoiding the endless inventory screens, shops, systems, checklists and post hunt 'check-ins' etc. it was just far too much to manage and conceptualise. but yeh, suffice to say I bounced off hard. And no doubt I'll try again, but at this point, I really don't think it'll ever be for me, despite wanting it to be :( like, they must know they're losing players to this endless complexity. thanks for coming to my TEDtalk

Dashes with sword are longer, this is one of speedrunners' thing. If u'll watch world's best, there people play with ninjutsu and running through levels with Katana

@inkcisi7458 oh yes. You're right. I never noticed that. Thank you

@@Dan01-01 yeah, i realised xd

@@satyasyasatyasya5746 Well, for the artstyle, I have no issues with it, and it doesn't feel weightless at all like in code vein, so physics/animations in that regard are nice. As for the precision, it's not really that, I just hate how reactive it is, it becomes stale, lacking proactivity. Main reason why I like thymesia the most when it comes to parry based games is that it doesn't shove the parry mechanic down your throat by making dodges suck, and it doesn't limit you with the stamina, this game is close to that but the stamina is a big limiting factor, you can dodge but it punishes you by consuming stamina for doing that. So when you pair that with the inability of recovering stamina in a proactive way (like ki pulse and fluxing in Nioh) it doesn't feel great even if it still has its uses. Plus, the parry mechanic also gives u even more rewards on top of it. Stellar Blade for example doesn't have the stamina issue, but dodging is designed to be more of a secondary element vs parrying, and there's a lot of strict input gimmicks built into it (like, u have to so this particular thing when it glows blue/purple/yellow) plus the extra stun rewards for parrying, again, limit your options realistically. Nioh 2 gives you total freedom on what to do at any point, even with burst counters, you are not forced to counter them, you get rewards for countering but it's not necessary, and is also a less common occurrence. And you still have timely guard mechanics in it, but again, it's just an extra thing, not the main gimmick on how to play the damn game. The issues I have with Wo long, believe it or not, have basically nothing to do with it being a parry based game, and everything to do with the rest of the game (already talked about this in that post 1.07 update review vid). Like, funnily enough, wo long's core gameplay system is actually pretty damn good, if you ignore the fact that it doesn't let you dodge, it's way more proactive than most deflect based games, including specially Rise of the Ronin (the damn fcking stamina system being a good example of why it's bad when not balanced properly) it's a shame that it's paired with so much bs tbh. Also recent gow games have parrying integrated into it and I like using it, but again, not shoved down your throat as the one and only mechanic to rule over them all. TLDR: It's not the precision, is the the fact that when you make it a core mechanic that downplays the rest of options, instead of it just being an extra mechanic for optimising your combat, the game becomes less proactive and more reactive and limiting, specially with a stamina system that doesn't factor that into the combat equation. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

@@AxelSG de nada Do I get a TEDTalk tshirt now? xD

@@Dan01-01 I didn't get much nioh vibes from it but it reminded me of thymesia a bit, main issues that i have with it is that it's inconsistent in some stuff regarding the stuns specially, stamina is a problem, way more limiting than it should imho. Also, there's 2 many parry based games around lately for my liking,. Besides that, game's rly good

@@AxelSG yes the stamina seems way too limited
