Thelogan Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I got this also, I've only played it for an hour or two. I still need to wrap my head around the non-combat mechanics. I made a barbarian in the hopes that equipment wouldn't be that hard to come by. This may have been a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelogan Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 *shrug* You probably could've gone with somebody who was wearing, you know, clothes. But the starting stats are so awesome. Besides, I have a loincloth and a club. Conan could have conquered the Roman empire with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldron Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 The stats are the same for everybody! The only difference is your starting level and the barbarian just starts at a higher level than the rest of 'em, so you lose some of your ability to customize.

The NZA Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 sure, you can heal offscreen! and the game totally waits for you to do this. totally.

The NZA Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 ...it's like i woke up on the GameFAQs boards. shouldn't you be trying for the BBE in MGS4 or watching boring miner anime or something...? don't mind me; im gonna wait till Los is back and can have someone tell me where the fun bits in this game were for them.

Maldron Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) No no, it's okay. Go back to your RPGs where all you have to do is navigate menus and make sure that if a monster is made of ice you use something fire-like on them. You know anything that requires action and reflexes is totally beyond you, right? Quit trying to fit a mold that wasn't made for you, boy.

The NZA Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 ....aaaaand we're full circle, with mocking j-rpg's, despite your playing of them (well, when they have trophies, at least). an inability to rationally discuss gaming/design elements, instead falling upon the defense force line of "you suck, its too awesome for you!". congrats on your new fanboy hat, mal, lemme know how N4G and the gametrailers forums treat you! when grownups pass by, im still down to try this once more, via teamup or otherwise. i swear, if half of GAF didn't love it so, id stick with my first impression here, but again, yahtzee's been plenty wrong when ive pushed past the boring beginnings of certain games this gen, still curious if that applies here. ps Newt - you're right about patterns, but i swear im not treating this like an FPS, im going slowly. i get that it's trial-and-error, still curious your thoughts about my prior post on the where you consider difficult vs cheap, i guess, cause its a small distinction being made there. i just dont want to make a chore of this.

Maldron Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'll mock your shitty Code Geass pic too, you wanker. I'm calling it like I see it. You don't like Bayonetta, You don't like Ninja Gaiden, and you don't like this. Honestly, even though I did it in the most insulting way possible (Which is my MO, which you totally knew when you told me I should sign up for hondo's) I just told you that you shouldn't try to force yourself to like a game you don't like. People's tastes vary. Don't try to change yours, just because you feel like you're the odd man out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 but...but what do bayonetta and ninja gaiden have to do with this? so confused. i didnt not like bayonetta for reasons of its own - cheezy story + sega love was cool, im just kinda worn out on the god of war/DMC action games, it was my fault for playing a prolly great game from a genre im not into at the moment. *shrugs* i guess you got a point about genre interest, i cant fault the controls, and design elements like the use of online are really cool. ya'lls love does make me wanna give it more've a chance and not feel odd man out, though. that's why im asking about doing co-op, though! i dont think idve had much fun at all in say RE5 if i didnt play it that way.

Maldron Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Blah blah blah. They're all action games. Just because some are faster doesn't mean they're not the same genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 true, but...am i misunderstanding, or are you putting Demon's Souls in the same bracket as DMC, Ninja Gaiden (to be fair, ive not really given that one a shot yet), Bayonetta etc? cause...cause they're quite different.

Thelogan Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 So I made a Royal and I'm having a much easier time, but by easier I mean I am making absolutely no productive progress, but enemies die quicker and I stay alive longer, and by alive I mean I have been dead since the tutorial and don't see the possibility of regaining my body in the near future, since I don't quite understand how to go about it.

You get your body back 1 of 2 ways 1. You kill the boss for that level 2. Use Stone of Ephemeral Eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use Stone of Ephemeral Eyes Well, I don't think he has an option to get a stone until after he kills the first boss anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but it would help to know what he'll need for later and knowing is half the battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
