I think it's because I've developed a mindset for how these games are supposed to be approached, well, one of the potential ways to approach them I'll say. Granted, I'm only really experienced with DS3, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring, and only loosely experienced with all the other games, so I might be ill informed. From what I've come to understand, combat is centered around only a few aspects, that are pretty much present in every fight. Observing, timing, spacing, and keeping your cool. Observing is kind of all encompassing. Basically it boils down to learning their move set. What I like to do if my first few attempts on a boss aren't going well, is to just dodge, no attacking. Learn their combos,, so anything, at least in phase 1, no longer becomes a surprise. That's the timing aspect of it basically, by only playing defensively for say... 2-5 minutes, or 2-5 attempts, you'll be doing a good amount of training for when you actually want to fight back. Adding on to that. you got spacing. Know your range, know their range. There's a reason I prefer weapons that can thrust as well as slash. A good poke after a roll or as a strong attack can go a long way if the enemy has to close the distance a bit more before they can attack you. Also, the enemy likely has moves that they'll mainly use at certain ranges, maybe projectiles, or dash attacks, something of the sort. I've found that those attacks are usually easier to dodge, so if I ever need a heal, getting some distance, and dodging what ever ranged attack they throw out AND THEN healing, usually works out. Ah, another thing with timing, just because you can dodge it, doesn't mean you can punish it, or, punish it consistently. Different weapons have different levels of speed, and sometimes bosses just won't stop attacking, or they'll throw out another unexpected hit after a combo you thought you knew was over. Also, always be cautious of delayed attacks, watch their body and dodge when you're sure that attack is coming, not just because the first 2 attacks in a combo came at the same speed. Right, yes, and keeping your cool. Basically just don't be greedy. Even if they're at low health. Even if YOU'RE at low health. if you know their move set, wait for a good moment to heal, dodge normally, don't panic roll. If you need to take a deep breath before or during a fight, or after a fight you died in, mid fight cutscenes are also a good time to do that. Another way I keep myself cool is by listening to my own music while fighting, whatever songs on spotify I feel like listening to. That's usually after a good number of attempts tho, because I do really like the music in these games. Uh yeah, that's really general stuff, and I could go into more into depth I guess. If you have any questions feel free to ask. if not, hoped this helped.
@@malroods1727 I started on DS3 so after completing that twice I moved to ds1 and changing the pacing really helped me cope, things are more telegraphed and slower and having patience like you say to tell what they're going to do makes things quite easy. And being greedy is normally the way I die haha or going for an estus when I should dodge but even with all that i wouldn't have got through the lothric fight easily
Beat him in 3 tries using Bloody Halice+10 and Moore's GreatShield+10 Used Two-headed turtle talisman For Stamina Recovery and Marika's Golden Braid For Holy Damage Negation..... I think it highly depends upon your build..... I found Bayle and Messmer to be the toughest while Midra, Metyr and Radahn to be the easiest.....
Nice vid keep up the awesome work (first attempt with boss crazy buffs fr) your build is amazing ngl I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE THIS IS PART OF THE DLC I WAS WONDERING WHO TGIS PERSON ISSS
Imagine playing an rpg, and at the end the BBG finishes his summoning ritual. The GM pause and ask the players if they got any rules they wish to discuss before the battle starts. Once that is over, a figure steps through the summoning portal, and cut down the confused BBG in a single strike. The GM then tell the players they now got until the end of the theme song to win, then hit the play button for this song and start a frantic battle to take down an opponent who will likely contemptously shrug off most of what the players can throw at him 😂😂😂
Even the most streamlined TTRPGs take more than twenty minutes to resolve combat. What you're suggesting is just an elaborate way to say "Rocks fall, everyone dies" while undercutting the entire game. In short, I really hope no one ever has to deal with you as a GM.
i think i actually have ptsd from his theme, like all of them. Everytime something goes wrong when I'm playing a game I don't know why I think he's going to harm me
@@plebaroni3495 it starts with Crisis Core FFVII's version, then there is Final Fantasy VII Advent Children's version mixed with Final Fantasy VII Original's version, next there is Final Fantasy VII Remake (Part 1)'s version and at the end there is Crisis Core FFVII's version again 00:00 Crisis Core 02:59 Advent Children and FFVII Original mixed 08:53 Remake (Part 1) 19:03 Crisis Core again
The beats at 3:07 have the original FF7 one winged angel's beats very slightly off, almost sounds like a time signature change but other than that it's great
Oh, that's the gigantipede from intergrade. It's not really a proper version, but younger me was more focused on how much I liked the transitions in and out of it to care.
