well at least in DS2 there are tons of things the game never tells you
the biggest one being that iframes are tied to agility which comes from a stat called adaptability or that to use more spells you need to pump attunement the game never teaches you a damage scaling works heck the game never even tells you where to go I dont see any any key!

" This is true; DS2, in many regards, is rougher than the first game for that. (I'll admit most of my experience was with DS1) However, on the last note... Decent games never have to give the player a glowing arrow (or equivalent) to point them in the right direction. A highly-simplified example is to just look at the original Super Mario Bros. Does it ever tell you where to go? No. However, a player starts on the left side, and even if they don't TRY to go left (and find out the screen won't go that way) right is still the only logical direction to go. While games that aren't linear 2D platformers will have more possible directions, good design will highlight and make it obvious which directions have more to them. "Oh, there's a row of torches headed in that direction, so there obviously must be something over there." That's a good example of a teaching moment. Similarly, another consistent thing I see in Dark Souls games is that the majority of all environmental-related hazards DO have telltale signs; dried blood, scratches in stone, etc. All told, once you take these elements together, it makes the game more REALISTIC. This doesn't just improve immersion, but, because of that, makes it EASIER to understand; the realism and immersion lets players find that their real-life common sense is applicable. This is something that makes for a better game. My guides: Summon Homing Missile (SRS) | Act II starter RF | Budget Oro's Flicker Strike

" I actually agree with you on the point that a game really doesent need to tell you where to go I cant tell you how many fun experiences I had in morrowind because I got lost looking for something and ended up finding something cool I dont see any any key!

" you're wrong in just everything, i met the guys at ggg 3 times since i started in 2012 and they've ever been a desperate bunch of enthusiasts and real gamers who are experts in their field. chris is an amazing lad, very down to earth attitude, generous in giving away his precious time, always listens carefully and he definitely knows his stuff. if anything went wrong there it's that they listened too much on these reddit circlejerking hive minds who in one moment complain about stuff and in the next moment complain about ggg actually following their advise. blaming them to cashing in for their game is non-sensical, they're a company which has to pay it's bills and the salary for nearly 100 peeps long term. getting rid of the difficulties was likely taking too much of their dev power so there wasn't much time to make harbinger more impressive. when it comes to rewards i rather like the toned down droprates, perandus and breach were obscene to the level of cheating. ggg likely felt the need to spoil their player base to get them back playing. it's sad that you don't like the stuff they made in the new acts, hopefully them fleshing out the new acts over time will be better to your taste. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

Dark souls' tutorial and directions are right there in the messages left by other people. It's like it has a game wiki imbedded into the main game without even having to bother implementing it. Brilliant.
I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it. I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready. Last edited by Pyrokar#6587 on Aug 21, 2017, 5:07:47 PM

" the messages are cool but should not always be listened to lol I dont see any any key!

" losing this (now massively whining) part of the user base wouldn't be that big of a loss i guess. i'm glad they're back to provide a challenging game while ignoring those spoiled kiddos with only trading skills and too much time who want to change the game to their advantage by making ggg trivialising trading. it's back to the poe roots, hopefully. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

"Yeah but the same people who don't read manuals also just skip right through the tutorials. The general gaming audience can't even seem to check the keybindings for a game before playing now. |
