What went right?

>>376498662
Everything that wasn't changed due to kneejerk uninformed opinions.

>>376498662
Kelley is one of the best loveable asshole villains in videogames for years.

The complex mechanics rewarded you as you learned them.
However, they were not required to just play the game at all.
This allowed you to play at a sub-par level, but slowly add in more and more advance techniques to get you better at the game.
That was beautifully done.

Now.
The enemy variety?
Literally the reason I stopped.
The fact that I got really intimately involved with a single weapon meant that I was doing the same fucking thing over and over and over and FUCKING OVER again to the same stupid enemies.
The loot barely made a difference anyway.
I dropped it after that beyond shitty centipede boss.
Buyer's remorse for sure.
I really need to stop buying AAA games. It never works out for me.

>>376499292
>didn't just try using a different weapon when the game gives you more skill points for using them

>>376499292
>The loot barely made a difference anyway.
I dont have a reaction image for my confusion

>>376498662
the bosses were fucking awesome especially the frog he literally gave me a boner

This.
Also, William was great.
Hanzo was also great.

Maria a shit though.

>>376498662
The core combat, gaurdian spirits, leveling up, equipment, bosses

>>376499698
I can use a different weapon, sure, and eventually I did because I was just so damn bored of the weapon I mainly used.

>>376499837
In the beginning it largely doesn't. Eventually you get that lightning gear that just takes away all gear for the rest of the game because it's simply the best.
I used a poison build for a while just to try to spice the game up, but again it was just the same shit to the same enemies.

>>376498662
They copied the best franchise in the gaming world

I don't like her flghty-ballerina bullshit.
Look forward to round 2 where she absorbs so much Amrita she turns into an abomination.

Why are mages such massive dicks in this universe?
She's a qt, but holy fuck does she need to die.

>>376499837
Loot stops mattering early on for NG.

It's only in NG+ that you want to put some thought into your gear.

>>376498662
Everything aside from enemy variety and soundtrack.

>>376498662
Only the first half of the game.

And that's where you're wrong, very wrong.

>>376502080
Honestly I still own the game.
It's right there. I could play it.
Give me a reason why I'm wrong and how loot variety is going to breathe new life into the game anon.

>>376502154
Not going to breathe new life into the game but, played the dlc? change your weapon and difficulty and try tweaking your gear (wind/poison/fire).

How are the DLC?
Do I have to do NG+ to play the Hard missions they added?

>>376502471
DLC is kind short, fun boss battle tho (Maria) new weapon is also kinda fun.

>7/10

>>376500846
Persona?

>>376502545
One boss only?

>>376502287
I haven't played the DLC. I assume it's not free.
I used the ksarigamas for most of the time, then switched to the double swords and the single katana. I tried playing with ninjitsu a lot as well.

I started with a paralysis build, I think it was, with that one bat-girl's helmet that massively boosted damage when they were paralyzed. Then I combined that with Ninja stuff to get them in a sort of stun lock that destroyed them.
But most bosses were almost impossible to paralyze so it didn't really help where the game was actually hard.
So I grinded that one guy who gave you the gear set to compliment that one lightning katana. It was by far the best weapon/gear in the game, and so I didn't really feel the need to try to get anything else to work.
And maybe I could have, but it wasn't really such a big change to be worth it, like I mentioned before.
By that time I was just bored with the game. It was the same enemies over and over again.

>>376498662

Probably not much since the game has entirely faded from anyone's radar pretty much as of its release day.

>>376498662
The great combat.

>>376503072
No, there are four.
Maria is the final boss of the DLC and sets the next stage for the story.

NEVER EVER IN A MILLION YEARS

>>376503080
alright, this game isn't for you then.

why is he so perfect? will we ever see /ourkelley/ again? putting his conscious in another body, maybe?

>>376503480
What I'm saying is that the game was awesome.
Except for the enemy variety. Which was so piss poor that someone like me, who really put effort into the game, got bored.
Seriously.
Maybe I could finish it now that I haven't played in a while.

>>376498662
>still havent been able to push myself to finish this

Whoever thought it would be a great idea to fill every level with the same sword spongey demons with the same weapons and the same moves over and over and over again should've been fired. Then when they came up with the second great idea of having sub missions that take place on the exact same map with the exact same demons with the exact same weapons with the exact same moves with the exact same ridiculous fucking health pool they should've been hung drawn and quartered.

>>376503823
Some things changed a lot with updates, and I agree.. The enemy and music variety is shit

>>376503973
Don't forget the same old " enemy hiding around a corner" nonsense.
Seriously if I didn't fall for it the first time, how the fuck will I fall for it the 30th time around?

>>376503973
>people actually complain about enemies having relatively decent health in a more combo-centric game with a deep combat system and multiple stances, one of which specifically prioritizes damage, and extra tools to use
>they complain after enemies had their health nerfed twice from prerelease builds, when it wasn't a problem even back then because of aforementioned options

>>376503072
5 bosses ( 4 if you count human and yokai form as the same dude) . Maria is the hardest but Date is probably my favorite of this DLC. His gimmick was simple but it was fair, balanced, and the most visually impressive of the DLC

>>376503652
>tfw you get enough glory for her
>get watch her run around in her black tabi socks

>>376504752
What's a decent way to get Glory? I need as much Tome in my life as possible.
I've only recently unlocked the Teahouse so it's still a foreign concept to me.

Very little.

Team Ninja wasted their combat talent on a mediocre Souls clone. They desperately need a good director.

>>376505042
clan wars.

There's a stupidly large clan and always seems to be on the winning side.

>>376505295
And how exactly do the clan wars work?

>>376505042
kill revenants on benkei's bridge or consistently win at 2 on 2 pvp, which you won't.

>>376505354
You pick a clan
Anytime you earn glory, it gets added to the total amount the clan earned in the past week
Clans are either on the Red team or Blue team (and it can change after a war is done)
The team with the highest Glory earned wins and gets a lot of extra Glory.

>>376505475
>>376505436
Cheers. I'll see what I can do.
I just want dat Tome, hopefully I can achieve that goal sooner rather than later.

>>376499292

I agree with you. I'm still playing it, having gone back for the DLC. But the random loot hurts this game immensely.

People bitch a lot about the level design, but I honestly don't think it's bad. There's plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. But when you get there, there's never anything of interest, just more random shit, which makes no impact.

The loot grind for divines is also completely baffling. Give us a straightforward way to level weapons, otherwise it's just bloat.

There's no need to comment on the enemy variety. All that needed to said about it has already been said.

>>376505653
also if you join a red clan, you'll get more glory by killing a revenant from a blue clan and vice versa.

>>376505042
You got a couple of options so it depends on what you like to do. If you can win PVP consistently you get a fairly huge stream of glory, benkei's bridge is the usual go-to spot for revenant slaying if you're into that or if you prefer helping people out as a random visitor I'd recommend the spirit stone slumbers mission which while a little long nets you at anywhere from 5-7K glory even if you're only summoned for the second half, the other main missions are also fairly good for visiting and you can get at least 4K per successful cooperation

>>376505828
I assume the Revenants have like a symbol or something to indicate what side of the war they fall on? Again, this aspect of the game is completely new to me.

>>376505936
yeah, when you walk over their grave or whatever, it will show the clan name and it will either be colored blue or red.

>>376506327
Neato. I'll keep an eye out next time I boot it up, thanks for that.
I also assume there's no solid way to earn it offline either? I noticed I got a bit along the way while offline, but I have no idea what triggered it.

>>376504009
At least the DLC are bringing in unique enemies, the will probably double the variety by the time all the DLC hits.

>>376506505
there are offline revenants you could farm but they aren't anywhere near as numerous and you won't get as much glory out of them.

>>376506693
Ah ok, well at least it'll give me something to do here and there to break up the monotony while I wait to renew my PS+

>>376503780
Wasn't he just a clone? Aren't there other Kelley's with the same personality?

>>376507180
FUCKING RUINING THE GAME WITH SURVEY FEEDBACK IS THERE NO LEVEL THEY WON'T STOOP TO?

>>376507249
he is but the difference is he got to experience life outside a tube for a long time before getting killed. he seemed to actually be different from the others that you fight in the lab. now, i know his characterization is pretty much "i'm an evil magic dick" but when he says the hollow man line, he kind of sounds sad he is dying as opposed to the ones you kill in england who repeat it joyously.

but on the subject of kelley, there could be an original true human one. john dee's profile says he "met" kelley when he was studying magic shit. though one could assume by "met" it means "made" but you never know.

>>376507883
There probably was an original Kelly. I mean, he was probably far more gone with Amrita and way more powerful in terms of magical bullshit than the Hollow Men Kelly.
If Dee indeed met the first Kelly when he began looking into magical shit then it's possible that the Kelly then is still alive

>>376507883
>>376508102
I assumed they share something of a collective consciousness and that they were all patterned after the original Kelley, who died in 1597 (Which is when he died historically).
