Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted March 14, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted March 14, 2022 Figured some of us may eventually take a trip to this game considering its getting great reviews on the internet and many are saying its a 10/10 although that's quite debatable. If you haven't played a game by FromSoftware before I'd suggest watching some videos and reading reviews before jumping in, games like Sekiro, Dark Souls, etc which are very highly rated games also come with this weird caveat that the environment is just out to plain kill or frustrate you. I am slow burning this and taking my time (still in StormVeil while exploring the entire map) but its been a good experience so far. Weapon classes are a lot better and leveling up is a bit painful but that's nothing new The NPCs either magic-based or summon-based can turn fights in your favor fast I don't get how anyone is playing this game well with a keyboard and mouse but i've seen folks do it and I don't think FromSoftware learned their lesson from Sekiro Are you getting it or have it? Where are you on the map and how many demi-gods have you vanquished so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I'm at an impasse, too weak to struggle against the current bosses and too strong to grind endlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which bosses are you at? I just spent a little time roaming the world and trying to kill mini-bosses before going back to kill a major boss.

When you first hit it you're so underpowered and by the time you get to him you've had to have levelled up quite a bit. Did you kill the general in the swamp area? I went back to him when I went to Radahn and failed the first few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I'm not really sure what to do right now, I seem to be too weak for a lot of places, the spike up from the Academy of Lucaria is a bit much. I feel like I need to find more smithing stones for my katanas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part that frustrates me is that you'll kill a boss and think yeah I did alright and then about 5 minutes later when you're roaming the map something like a pack of bears will kill you. It's these kinds of things that really just make you have to be on edge all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its a very very slow burner at the start. Has its moments in the middle and if you're a completionist then it can be fun even if some parts tend to be a bit repetitive. Plus there are so many ways to skin a cat in this game that you'll never really have the same experience as an other player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically try a few times but if I'm hard filtered I have to look up tips and tricks. Some other 'hard' bosses I simply bodied in one try. The Spectral Void or whatever it is called got crushed in one attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
