This is not a fashion-souls game.

Yeah, I'm realizing that more and more. I finally found a damn wolf head and just threw that on just so I could see something different.

100% they read your inputs. Them delayed ass attacks that just magically hit you when you push a button. I’m gonna sound like a broken record, but delayed attacks are the worst. Cheap way of making enemies ‘hard’.

I beat Godrick. He was pretty easy. As someone above said, claws wreck him. Inflicting bleed destroys his health bar.

I found the twinblade. I was under the impression they would be like the sellswords or warden blades in DS3. They are not. Still seem like an ok weapon, but it won’t be knocking katana/claws off the mountain top. Don’t think anything will.

The bolded works against most and if not imbue your weapon with poison
One of em will get them

Theres a lot of armor but the stats are trash. I finally got a new set of mage armor though, i almost doubt I will find another any time soon. This is not a fashion-souls game.

I have another complaint that most here probably won’t recognize due to class. The sorcery spells are TRASH. The strongest DPS spells are the two starters. It makes being a magic build kind of boring. It’s fun using magic in general but i got like 10+ spells and none of them do good damage, they just look good. They are either too FP heavy or they just take too long to cast or both.

The trailer had me thinking i would be getting hadoukens and sword rains and meteors but none of them hit harder than glintstone pebble and the crescent for area damage. It’s something they need to rebalance because my little pebble attack should not be doing more damage than spells that cost twice as much and take longer to cast.

Complete opposite of dark souls where it felt like every new spell was a step up from an old one

Every reviewer has stated the opposite of what you're saying tho. There's considerably more magic than what's usually available in Souls games. So you probably haven't scratched the surface of all the magic there is. Plus, there's always the matter of leveling them up n shyt. The fact that there's so many is probably why they feel "weak" to you, since if they're going to have a bajillion magic spells, they can't all be Ultima level magics.

You're also saying why starter magics feel better. That's liable due to most early spells are for there for folks just starting with magic, if they didn't choose a magic class from the start. Can't be having some Barbarian class character's first magics they find stronger than a Mage's starter magic.

How?

Those knights in stormveil are fukking pieces of shyt. I knew when that door close and I heard that creepy laugh I was dead.

For the life of me I can’t figure those dudes out. I catch hell with each and every one of them.

Already having withdrawals I wanna play

I barely killed the one in that room after numerous attempts, now I just run from them. Unless you’re leveled up considerably I don’t know how you consistently beat them. They attack so fast and then have that stupid whirlwind aoe that fukks you

 

[blockburna420]

why tf is this game so difficult. I just killed that stupid fukking cat after like 30 tries, I don't even know what to do next. And how do I lvl up?
This game make me feel stupid got me feeling like zeke from power.

He got caught on the door so I thought I was gone cheese him. Got his energy all the way down and he still threw a combo and killed me.

fukk fighting him I just grabbed the loot and got the fukk outa there.

My samurai is a legit spellsword I really only use the bow for niche situations now

I go Katana + med. shield against quicker enemies, swarms, or flying enemies
Katana + Fire sling for armored/tankier enemies who're usually weak to magic and resistant to slash damage
2Hand Katana for most bosses, duels, and melee combat

I really only use the bow for sniping/stealth in dungeons, but it's still fairly powerful. I just don't like always having to replenish and craft arrows so I try not to use them in scenarios where death is likely. Nothing worse than using a bunch of arrows and fire arrows just to get killed and respawn with like 4 each . Better off just using magic at a distance or going all in with the katana so I'm not wasting ammo for when it's most useful

Gonna go collect some deaththorn tonight and get the beast claws incantation to make the cypher complete
