To answer the question about buff crabs: yes, it seems crabs can build muscles. They have meat, so it stands to reason. Even insects, who have a rather different body structure, were observed to have strengthened their muscles with use.

[@Vancev99x]

Perfect example. Hermit crabs. You ever seen a COCONUT crab? same thing just never left the gym. Literally a giant hermit crab too big for a shell. 😅

[@TheLeosempai]

I recall crabs and all that falls in it’s category gains muscles but when it reaches to a point they just peel there exoskeleton like skin. Then regrows its new skin.

[@Staladus]

Dont insects not have muscles? They use hydrolics to move their limbs

[@Mantaur104]

@@Staladus If I understood correctly, they also have muscles, but true, they move via other means as well.

Who ever voice Nephro sounds like a space marine and I can’t help but love that also I really anticipated this game for its style.

Shame you don't normally get to do series cause I would love to see more of this.

Hey wander when will you be making another video of this

[@benjaminc924]

In case you haven't gotten there yet, there's an NPC who upgrades you with the crystals that the game doesn't explain to you very well

[@melephs_cap]

I thought it explained that well, it just takes a little bit until it does

[@MrFroggster]

Awesome game. Just bought it.

[@leahwilson9152]

I have to go buy this now

All Soulslikes should have difficulty selections like this one has. And anyone who says that it "ruins the artistic vision of the Devs" knows nothing about art or 'artistic vision'.

[@lewanbroski504]

I disagree with this, I believe it depends on the creators choice. If there's no difficulty selection then I think that's how the creator wanted it to be played as but if there is then the creator is obviously giving a choice. Both are fine

[@matthuck378]

@@lewanbroski504 Difficulty settings doesn't change the "art" of the game any more than printing a book in different font sizes or listening to music on various stereos changes the "art" of it. Creators don't get to decide how art is viewed/played/interpreted. And that's a good thing. Creators make the thing, and let it go. If a game maker doesn't put difficulty selection, it's like not putting in scaling resolution, or configurable controls. It's basic QoL. Games are software and a product too.

[@lewanbroski504]

@matthuck378 but not all form of art is for everybody, the souls games even the ones that are locked are accessible for everybody but if the game isn't your cup of tea be it because of a locked difficulty then it's fine to turn that off. It's like listening to a new genre of music and not liking it or tasting a new taste and not enjoying it. It's fine not to enjoy things. However, I still believe a locked difficulty in a game should be there if the creator wanted their game to be expirenced that way

[@melephs_cap]

To respond to both of you, I do think that difficulty settings are part of the "art" - I think there is artistic choice in games made for just a few people or even for no one - but I also think it's very silly for any developer to limit their core audience in such a way as most soulslikes tend to do. They offer all these ways of taking on less or more challenge (leveling up/farming levels, using good gear, letting you tackle challenges nonlinearly) but they always seem to draw the line at making the precision inputs less precise. I won't say those games *should* have those kinds of options because art doesn't have any such obligations, but there really ought to be more games like this one which do. You can throw around "artistic intent" all you want, but I think most creators do want as many people as possible to enjoy the specific thing they wanted to make, and I suspect the original Souls games have given many devs a limited imagination for how to accommodate for different skill levels. Artistic intent is fluid and artistic vision isn't 20/20.

[@chronodis]

​@@matthuck378creators choose how they WANT art to be viewed. If a creator wants to make something hard, they're allowed to do that

putting the assist mode on right away is so incredibly oof and disappointing, id have no issue if you waited and got a feel for how you feel the games difficulty is... but you aint even battled the first boss....

@@wanderbots thanks for the taster, and showing off the assist mode (and gun "story" mode haha). Its easy to know your limits beforehand, and showing the assist modes off means I likely will actually get this rather than pass over it 👌
