I started a fresh run from biome 1 and got all the way past a boss in biome 5 I hadn't even seen before.

Had an absolute godmode build: Smart Rifle Level 44 with five perks and high scaling. Absolutely melting everything.

Then the game kicks you back to the main hub for a story beat, and alllllll of your equipment resets. Bummer.

I'll tell you what I was told this was an easier game than Returnal which I gave up on due to developers trying to force me to get good.

I was really disappointed in this game trying to beat the prophet. 40 min runs to die over and over again after maxing all my available abilities.

Until after my 4th or 5th death to him I was able to access the menu to adjust things. Why they don't inform you or allow you to adjust these settings earlier is beyond me.

I'm going to try this, and if I can't beat Prophet, I'm out. I've played the original Demon's Souls (imported from Singapore) back in the day, the Elden Ring DLC is fine, Lies of P DLC is fine. But this Prophet? I just can't. I work all day, then come back to what feels like work I dislike, this game! I'm close to Returnal-ing to Crimson Desert and Pragmata.

Is Legion a parry skill check boss? I haven't played in a couple days, but I died three times to him. And I otherwise have one-shot all the other bosses so far.

 

[SlimySnake]

I still cant believe the lead of this game is banging Alannah Pearce every night.

I beat him just now without a parry, that's the one I was talking about in post #151. Then again, that was during a run from biome 1 to him, so I might've been OP.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking I have to do.

Fair I buy games to enjoy them and if the developer doesn't allow me to do this, well they don't deserve support and my money. Just remember once you are in the menu to ensure you don't just select a skill that you also boost the level to 2 or 3.. Trust me no matter how much boost you give yourself it will still be challenging, tough and you will die. I was able to beat both the first and second boss using this with 1-2 deaths learning their patterns.

 

[Krathoon]

Yeah. This really seems to be the opposite of a woke game. It seems gritty just like Returnal.

Gritty, yes. But opposite to woke...

 

[AmuroChan]

Saros is by no means easy, but I do think it's a tad easier than Returnal mainly because of the shield. Once the shield mechanic clicked for me, I was like "I got this".

 

[SlimySnake]

I miss increasing max health if you consumed a health orb at full health. Now you have to rely on random drops to increase your max health or increase the base stats. I also miss the shop where you could buy a second chance perk. When i got to the first boss, i didnt have second chance and didnt have a lot of health and basically died in like 4 hits.

Killed him on my second try thanks to the second chance perk i had unlocked, and now i have a lot of health but it was frustrating to get to the boss so underleveled. Felt kinda cheated.

 

[Crm114]

why is this game woke?

I'm out of the loop

Aww man I liked doing a no hit rush in Returnal, reaching the boss with looooong health bar was so rewarding.

There's a special thread for that, go ask there.

What is it with this generation of gaming that these devs are obsessed with stripping people of their gear?

I just hate that shit. I barely like the rogue aspect of these, but hearing it just warps you back for a story segment and takes your gear makes me not even want to bother with this shit.

Trying to beat game at +6 modifier. There is a mod that practically eliminates all Lucinite earned from any failed runs. That is +4. The other mod is no second chance. That is +2. I am enjoying the grind. I like starting at square 1 for every run
