I have had a Ps3 PS4, and PS5 and I have exactly one platinum trophy from a game that gave you a plat just for beating the entire story. (Nonary Games) There have been several games where I've been like Yeah! This is the one! And then I realize that I value my time more than playing a game I don't want to play any more for arbitrary achievement and don't bother I like achievements that give you a goal to do hard things, but getting every ending for example is just not something I'm interested in.

Man, I never really felt like there was a difficulty spike. The difficulty cratered for a bit after Radahn since that's when you get access to a bunch of Somber Stones, but other than that I thought it was pretty consistent, for both regular enemies and bosses. Getting to Elphael in 60 hours seems insanely fast to me though! I was over 100 hours by the time I got there. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't think there's a difficulty spike in general, it just feels like it because as soon as you hit the ice area it's the two blade ice guys everywhere, who barely appear as regular enemies anywhere else in the game, and those guys SPECIFICALLY are fucking ridiculous. It's also a funnel so there's no way around them, just through, so everyone experiences them as the very first thing there no matter what. If you run past those dude the difficulty is completely on par with what you were doing before. --- https://twitter.com/OocWTC/status/1348011667976699904?s=19 ... Copied to Clipboard!

htaeD posted... The amount of time I've died just because my character cannot drop off a ledge without jumping ten feet forward It's why I wish they simply wouldn't attempt platforming sequences. My three least favorite segments of the game were all due to platforming. It never feels like a meaningful challenge but rather a fight against awkward controls. It shouldn't be this difficult to simply step forward and fall a few feet. Basically, a challenge needs to feel rewarding, but I ended those three sequences just being annoyed that From thought anyone would enjoy them. 90% of the time, this game felt poised to take my all-time favorite spot, but the platforming is genuinely bad design and present enough that it ended a fair distance away from #1. Even two weeks on, the poor platforming is one of the first things I think about when reflecting on the overall experience. --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ ...

I do like exploring and enjoy the platforming when I feel like I'm reaching an impossible location. Of the three locations I'm thinking of, only one really captured my curiosity and I can give it a pass.

Why complain about Malenia or Radahn when Quelaag's ten times as difficult? I had no issue with Malenia even though it was extremely difficult Radahn was miserable because the optimal strategy involved riding around on your horse for 5 minutes and sometimes you still randomly die in one hit. It was both tedious and random. Horrendous combination.

As far as Radahn goes, yeah he's a lot easier now but the fight is still lame due to the setup. I would have absolutely no problem is he was literally the exact same fight but all the summons autospawned, having to do them one at a time every run is just lame as all hell. There are people who dont like using in game summons who would be pissed. but fuck 'em, rule of cool is all that should matter for a fight like that. Or, absolute best option, Everything auto summons but you pick who you want to take with you in the courtyard where everyone is prepping for the fight ahead of time, talk to them like you're building a team. Makes that an actual cool interactive area and everything. Then you all ride in together right out of the teleporter. I see no downside whatsoever to this option. --- https://twitter.com/OocWTC/status/1348011667976699904?s=19 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Got all the achievements yesterday.

Also just a neat little tidbit, I got all achievements in this and Dark Souls on PC and both ending up with 107 hours of total play time.

Radahn needed only a single nerf, which was those homing meteors. Everything else was hard but doable either doing solo carefully or with a bunch of summons. Just like any other boss but with a cool raid vibe. That meteor was the only really frustrating one-shot BS he had. UshiromiyaEva posted...

Yes, and that part sucks. And not in a sense that it's hard, it's just garbage busy work. It's objectively lame as hell. If someone told me they liked going around and summoning the first wave of dudes, I would just straight up call them a liar. It would be impossible to convince me otherwise. It makes every death suffering, not in the same way as the rest of the franchise, but in a way where going through the process is far more foreboding than the fight itself. To me, it's no different than if a boss fight was gated by a Resident Evil sliding puzzle, and every time you died you had to do the sliding puzzle again. Just trash. --- https://twitter.com/OocWTC/status/1348011667976699904?s=19 ... Copied to Clipboard!
