I recently started Dark Souls Remastered and I'm already having trouble with the Asylum Demon. I know Dark Souls being hard is just a meme but I feel like a retard not being able to beat the tutorial boss. Half of it is just controlling the fall damage.

You're supposed to pick the black bombs as the starting item and spam that fat fuck with like 5 of them. You just hit the item and dodge buttons and it takes less than a minute.

You didn't try to fight him with the broken sword right? You're not supposed to fight him the first time you encounter him, instead you scurry out through a side door and wind up above him so you can do a plunging attack that takes like 1/3rd of his health. Other wise it's just circle strafing, smacking him in the ass and avoiding the butt slam.

Been playing the Manhunt 1 port on my PS4. It is significantly better then the broken Steam port that requires an unoffical patch to play (How the fuck is it legal to charge people for a broken game by the way?). The soundtrack stands out to me as one of Rockstars best. I'm a massive fan of ambient music espically darker ambient music and Manhunt just kills it. The atmosphere in the game is just so creepy.

Oh, cool. Apparently Atelier Iris 1 has a glitch where, after the epilogue, sometimes the credits won't play. Which means you can't get to the post-game dungeon or extra character. Let's see if third time's the charm when it comes to beating the final boss.

Edit: Yes! Third time's the charm, baby! Also, if you ever play this game, turn off the voices and turn the volume down to 0 before fighting the final boss.
Edit: Wait, no. What the fuck? The fucking credits rolled, so where's my cleared game save data? What fucking retards programmed this shit? You know what? Screw it. I'm going to load up some codes to max out my stats. Kill the fucker in three hits or something.

NiSA is notorious for how badly they fuck up the translated version of the game.

Played the Dynasty Warriors Origins demo. Good shit. Not sure how the scope of the game will be. And I have a sneaking suspicion that more weapons will be sold as DLC.

I saw clips of the Lu Bu fight. I know he's meant to be a "can't be killed" boss like the early ones in some Souls games, but straight up iframe dodging and shit is kinda wack. Hope it's a one-off cause I do not want a souls-like musou game. I tried the demo too and it felt a bit.. heavy? Couldn't tell when I actually juggled enemies and shit. It felt a lot more focused on dive bombing enemy officers and having their demise remove their soldiers. I was hoping you'd be able to command units, fucking finally, but doesn't seem like it more than just the whole "charge this direction" which is closer to an ability than anything.

It's not a meme as much as just getting used to it. I 100%'d DS2 and I had to go to NG8, at which point I blindly iframe dodged everything without any deep lore knowledge. I avoid playing a lot of games on hard cause I don't wanna stress, but I beat mass effect legendary edition on hard and then later easy and it was more or less the same. Difficulty is just about getting used to things, and if people can get used to 30 fps souls 1 iframe dodging, you can get used to anything.

I purchased the Dead Rising Deluxe remaster thing from my accursed CDKeys points (about (1500 at the time so got the game out of pocket for £10) and outside of a few gripes. The game really really isn't that bad. Regardless of the changes in characters and other such stupid things. At first I was going to mod old Franks model and Voices in but he kinda grew on me a bit in both regards. And the way it feels sometimes is almost like they captured a cheesy b movie zombie flick really well if that's what they seemingly aimed for with some of these changes.

Plus it's just so much playing a frank that doesn't feel so clunky at times. But the hit reg definitely needs a fixing. Reframwork to get the game 16:10 on steam deck and I'm running with no FSR locked to 30 and it's been solid. I could aim for 40/45 locked but the extra time it gets to buffer in things causes less load lag if any for me

I did complete it (edit: the boss fight, not the game).

For what it's worth, it already doesn't seem hard compared to other games. There were a few games that really drove me off due to their extreme difficulty and even then it was in the final stretches of the game (the last world of Super Meat Boy and that timed portion of Meat Circus in Psychonauts come to mind). And of course, there's a difference between something like beating a game and getting every single achievement.

Is the GOG Preservation Program doing actually anything to improve how these games run on modern machinery? I sure would love if most games there worked properly from the get go without the need of patches or just needing to put up with outdated limitations of the software that was made at a time where current resolution levels were impossible to even imagine.

I recall I tried to play a detective FMV game (Tex something, cant recall the name anymore) and couldnt play because the whole thing was incompatable beyond belief and I would need to download third party programs for the solo reason to play this specific game. I said fuck that and refunded it. I was blown away that they could sell something this dysfunctional in good faith. If you are going to bother selling this game on your store front, at least make it so it can be played at all on modern machinery.

So it would be nice to imagine GOG taking the iniciative to end that nonsense, they sure could use the good PR after a difficult year with them pissing off their own community with "lol, you dont actually own the games" changes and the fact you can get locked out of your account and games because a tranny mod didnt like your tone in the forums.

In some cases they are doing very little, as I pointed out. It seems like they do make improvements in some cases.

But now for a disaster:

I've been playing Hotline Miami 2 recently but it's so frustrating with those long hallways and other bullshit, enough that I had to play 1 again just to make sure that I wasn't delusional that I liked it so much.

I really need to play something else in case I relapse and find myself sinking hours into Factorio again.
