This spoilercast is good because it shows the 3 main playstyles of the Souls genre -Guy who's really big and has a giant axe -Guy who uses magic and gets one shot -Guy who has the best sword in the game

And it's nice to see that each could manage but struggled at different point in the game. Besides strength I think it's a good sign that multiple play options are valid.

@@HellecticMojo it was always viable bc it scales the best and you can just jump attack People legitimately were just playing the game wrong.

Also about Blaidd, he doesn't lose his mind because Ranni was his romantic affection. Dialogues from elsewhere in the game reveal he's more like a big brother figure to her- created by the Two Fingers specifically to protect her. Maliketh has the same relationship with Marika- a shadow created for the purpose of protecting an important figure. He loses his mind because when Ranni ascends by slaying the Two Fingers set to watch over her, the Two Fingers retaliate by forcing Blaidd to lose his mind. Iji even locks Blaidd up because him and Ranni both knew that the Two Fingers would do this in advance.

They did give you new moves, Bob. Jump attacks, guard counters, mounted strikes, crouching attacks (which are often way faster than a heavy weapon's normal moves), and a new combo finisher for every weapon - that exists to slow you down and fix a PvP issue, but still. It isn't much, but it's about as far as vanilla Dark Souls can go. I'm down for something different too in From's next action-RPG, but I also like what's here.

To be fair, the combo finisher also has the moves before it, which are each different attacks in their own right. A few of them can be pretty unique, like how the Cross Naginata's R1 combo has a vertical slice, a thrust, a horizontal slice, and then the finisher.

For anyone having trouble doing a running jump off a small platform, if you jump and mid air hold run/dodge when you land you will be automatically running at max speed as long as you hold the button allowing for a sprint jump with only a couple inches of room. This makes lots of the platforming easier.

talking to the pot guy will make the red summon signs appear you dont need to use an item - and as a side note if anyone is having a hard time beating them - playing in offline mode will make the characters easier and unless they patched it jumping on the tree branch off the cliff usually makes them jump to their deaths

44:55 your health bar didn't change at all. What ends up happening is that the game gets weird when refilling your health after he lowers it so it LOOKS like you get more health, but in actuality it just hasn't filled back to full. Still strange but much less inexplicable.

I was having the same str woes as Feel, till I found an armor and talisman that up jump attack. Then I add royal knights resolve ash of war that gives your next attack 80% more damage. So my endgame was just constant jump attacks powerstancing colossal hammers and melt bosses.

@smokey0111 2 жыл бұрын

Same here, except the colossal hammers. The recovery took too long so i scaled back to great mace/large club. (Plus the collosal hammers are so heavy). I didn't feel like i had a hard time though. No idea why strength mains say they struggled.

After having beaten it today I do definitely feel like the combat could have better implementation of jumping like you were mentioning with very rare attacks actually only having ground hitboxes. Sekiro still has probably my favorite combat flow overall, although Elden Ring is tied with Bloodborne for me just behind it for sense of exploration and general combat.

@kahlt_ Жыл бұрын

Listening to this podcast it's honestly incredible to me how people were just playing incorrectly vs bosses around release, including myself and a bunch of other veterans of the series. JUMP. YOU HAVE TO JUMP. JUMP WHILE ATTACKING, JUMP WHILE CASTING, JUMP TO DODGE, JUST KEEP JUMPING. ITS BUSTED. Also all of them had basically no vigor, idk how they expected to not get oneshot

As bad as holding circle to run is, I've always hated holding L3 to sprint. Just feels super awkward. Also for as strong as parrying has always been I think it makes sense to have it fill the Ash of War slot (not just because button economy makes it hard to put anywhere else). Though granted, since most bosses need to be parried a few times in a row to actually go down, and you can posture break to get reposts other ways, I think ER may have nerfed it too much. Also for the Big Pot dueling signs you don't have to use the item, you just need to talk to the Big Pot. You walk up to him and press Y and then they just show up. They're real tough unless you have Moonveil because no NPC invader in the entire game knows how to deal with Moonveil they just die. the Radagon cuck arc is the best it's ever been because since he and Marika are the same person it means he actually just ditched Rennala and said he was cucking her with *himself*

That part about running and jumping and clawing is horrifying to me because I have always hated From Software's default controls since the day I first played Dark Souls 1. So I've always remapped the controls to resemble DMC/Bayonetta, putting R1/R2 on Triangle/Circle respectively while putting roll/run on R2. Even in games that didn't support it like Demon's Souls (even remake?????), Dark Souls 2, and Bloodborne, I just remapped my entire controller and dealt with broken UI controls. But because I remapped my controls, that meant doing running jumps felt a lot better and I also didn't need to claw when running around and moving the camera. I will never stop bashing developers who put melee attacks on the shoulder buttons.

I definitely think there will be a break of a few years until the next Miyazaki Souls game, but this sold 12 mil copies in a month, there's no way ER won't have at least 2 big expansions and another game that starts development right after those finish.

@@smokey0111 That's interesting. I didn't feel that way at all. I enjoyed making new discoveries and seeing what was around the corner.

Was kinda wary of this with the dad jokes at the beginning, but turned out very entertaining. Glad these guys were straight up about things they missed, and their opinions about souls games in particular because 1. I can gauge my own thoroughness and 2. I am very interested in how a newcomer or a casual fan would play. You guys seem to be huge nerds with your references, so you're speaking my language.
