Jeff Green plays Dark Souls III...STAMINA GREEN
- Thread starter mattiewheels
- Start date
Common observations from the last three years of souls play
a) Conserve a last bit of stamina to roll out of range instead of going full ham with sword swings; you're always, always, always instead backing off, raising his shield, tanking the hit and then getting ganked when he gets shield broken because of low stamina.
b) Don't keep the shield up when you're out of melee range, and watch their animations carefully to see if they're going to start a ranged attack. Your stamina regens so slow when your shield's up!
c) The dodge has invincibility frames so you can roll right through attacks, you don't always need to dodge and juke manually
Still, Jeff gets a lot done, so if it works for him it works for him. But come on green! Roll!

He actually knows all this stuff, but only applies it or remembers it after about 20 tries.
If you go look at his winning run at Velstadt, from DkS2, he plays like a straight up good Souls player there.
I suspect the chat/stream also helps distract him.
Jeff does a lot to entertain us. Bless him.

The best part was when he
pulled out a torch to get a better look around and didn't even realize he had barely staved off death by killing the leeches
It might be one of the easiest bosses for most people but there's rarely a Souls boss that is easy for everyone. I died to Crystal Sage more than I died to the last 6-7 bosses combined, including late game optional bosses. Crystal Sage didn't feel like particularly hard boss but I died plenty nevertheless. In fact I'm pretty sure there's only one boss I died more to.
However, it's not going to be the boss that kills Jeff the most. There's plenty more to come

Yeah the thing with the Crystal Sage is that when you're close to killing him, if there are a lot of adds in the area, they are all spamming the machine gun magic. You can die so easily when you're so close to winning.
Then you factor in that Jeff is 38 years old and his reflexes have dimmed a little bit. It's not crazy to think it might be a difficult boss for him. He's making great progress though.

38?

Did you think he was younger? He's a youthful man, I'll give you that.
edit- I'm watching the latest stream and I'm cracking up at Jeff pressing "X" on the PS4 controller for a button prompt on the screen meant for Xbox controllers. I feel that pain, Jeff. This is what we put up with when using the PS4 controller in most PC games.

What days/times does he stream this?

Nice! BTW, some of the jokers in here don't believe that you are 38 years old. Young people have no concept of age, do they?

Has Jeff played Demon soul's yet?
Nice looking out, i didn't think it would be for a while.
I don't believe so.

Booo shitty PC kills the stream.
Jeff might look like he's 8 years old, but he is in fact a centuries old dragon, which makes all my fantasies about him entirely acceptable.

Something has to be wrong with his PC, like driver-wise. I only have a R9 280 and I can max this game out at 60fps. His GPU alone is the entire cost of my PC.

I'd be curious to see if he has the same issues when not streaming at the same time. I doubt it's his GPU at this point, honestly, unless it's getting so hot that his performance is being throttled. I wonder what CPU he has. Right now, he's getting worse performance than what a computer for a third of the price is getting.

I think his GPU/CPU is throttling. But Jeff would have to find out with Afterburner/CPUZ etc.. And probably just reinstall everything for a clean system. But I don't know if he can do it or has the time for it. Shame to see a Titan so slow

I agree that if everything is properly installed, then the CPU would be the likely culprit. I can't remember what his full specs were but I think he had a better CPU than me too (4690K). It just seems very odd to me that he'd have any technical issues whatsoever with his rig.

Yeah a complete reinstall of Windows to keep everything clean would maybe be a good idea. Or if there is just a lot of shitty auto-start programs and stuff on it maybe just removing them would be enough.

Some autostart programs don't cause a 4690k and a Titan to run DS3 at some stuttery 20fps on LOW (I have 60fps on high with a 770, a card that is way slower). There is something really wrong with his PC. My guess is that either the CPU or GPU run at lower clockspeeds (my 770 has that problem sometimes, not switching to 3d mode and running at 140mhz core clock) either because of driver problems or thermal throttling.

Did he already stream again today? Seems hard to follow.
No sir.

He posts updates on his Twitter. Follow that and you'll be fine.
And i always do my best to post in this thread when he goes live, whenever possible.

Only the very beginning of Sunken King.
And one of the funniest deaths ever after the second bonefire lol.
DAMN I just saw that, hope it's not true
Doesnt Steam do Cloud saves by default though? Unless he disabled that?

Not all games support it and apparently DS3 is one of those that doesn't. Unbelievable that they didn't bother with support, that really sucks. At least it won't take Jeff long to catch up to where he is if he decides to start over.

No cloud saves for DS3
