but within the story you are preparing to take over the mantle of a god.
You’re kinda doing the same thing in DS as well though, taking up the mantle of Gwyn as the Chosen undead.
I don’t fault Sekiro since it’s fundamentally a different combat system. ER and DS3 are more or less further developments of the formulas in DS1 though so I think it’s fair to criticize how they changed.
It’s a gradual process that started in DS2 and continued into Elden Ring. Hence why I said “later soulsborne” instead of just Elden Ring.
If you’re going to be snarky, at least read the original comment.
The feeling of combat in newer Soulsborne games has never felt quite right to me.
Take a look at weapon animation in DS1 vs Elden Ring. In DS1, the vast majority of the weapons had realistic animations. Only 2-3 weapons had you performing acrobatics beyond what a normal human could do. Sure there was magic and giant swords, but it felt grounded within a low-fantasy setting.
In Elden Ring, the majority of weapons feel straight out of an anime. You zip around doing flashy moves as a standard attack. Spells also got significantly more flashy and absurd. The Tarnished feels closer to a demigod in their abilities than they do a human. I feel like this shift in feeling has kinda destroyed the whole “overcoming these challenges as a small insignificant dude” vibe because your guy is able to swing their sword like a shonen protagonist.
I feel like the emotional heart of dark souls has been lost in order to create cool looking combat.
Yeah, but the mechanics really push you towards certain builds. Bosses are too fast so 90% of the time you can’t use slower, heavier weapons effectively.
I also didn’t like how they went hard on “long wind up but extremely quick execution” for lots of boss attacks. In DS1 and DS2, you can kinda dodge attacks on instinct alone if your reaction times are good. In Elden Ring, you just have to remember the timing on the attacks which isn’t that engaging. Eventually, I just used my first attempt on ER bosses to kite the boss and study their patterns.
Joe getting covid, spreading it to Trump, and killing them both would be the one thing that could save America.
Everything looks just fine on 1337 and gogunlocked.
I only took CBD after the infection was confirmed, edited to be more clear.
The gummies were 25 mg.
For the first 2 years of covid:
Since I stopped smoking about 2 years ago:
i would actually find it horrific if they kept tissue from a human arm alive (say, a bicep) and made it do stuff with electrical signals (say, lift something) for ‘research purposes’,
Buddy, I hate to tell you this, but that’s literally what your brain does with your arm every single time you move it.
Plus, these seem to be made from interneurons from skin cells. Basically, neurons who transmit signals along the nervous system. I’d be more concerned if they used Pyramidal cells which play more of a role in learning, cognition, and memory.
While interesting, you wouldn’t say that keeping some tissue from the arm alive to be a “horror” on par with a brain in a jar.
No
And they stole the idea from me. I said what if we had a giant robot, and we had someone shove a small Japanese man in his ass. Then when it was inside, he could control the robot with wires and buttons while inside the ass.
The game is definitely balanced around them but making the player reliant on the jank of AI can make the fights hit-or-miss.
Sometimes your summon will get bodied by the boss in 10 seconds, sometimes it’ll last the entire fight taking off a quarter of the boss’s healthbar. There’s just a large range of things that can happen which are mostly outside of player control.
Your honor, pretending to be Bansky in order to defraud people from their money was in a sense my own performance art and thus you could say that I am in a sense actually Banksy. So no, I don’t think I did anything wrong.
All of the endurance run trainings only have their long runs at like 70% of the end race goal, what’s with that?
If I’m training for a half-marathon, why would my long runs not go up to 13 or at least 12 miles? The longest long-run they have in the training is 10 miles. I feel like I’m going to go out on race day, hit 10.5 miles and then not be able to finish. I get that I’d be more pumped on race day, but not enough to pull an extra 30%.
The straight man in my comedy act practice is both a women and a gay.
It’s 2024 guys, even gay women can be straight men.
I mean gay men are into two men doing it, and gay women are into two women doing it.
I think there’s a bit of a difference between someone who is gay enjoying gay content and someone who is straight making gay people a fetish.
I never want to hear about men being weird for liking lesbian stuff because after making friends with women just as many of them freak the fuck out for BL and gay stuff.
The problem is straight people, I don’t want to get caught in the cross fire.
I’m not an expert in psychology, but straight up denying reality has to be a worse strategy than just admitting Biden is senile.
