Can't wait to start new Stygian campaign.

>>378792530
Can't wait, just really started to play. Game was pretty hard at first, but after a bit it wasn't that bad. I don't know why people have trouble with it at all, it's so easy to manage stress and damage output is so much that most things don't even get more then a few turns at most.

Once you realize that you barely need to use your money to burn stress and focus on getting Blacksmith upgrades going, suddenly the game is a whole lot easier.

Which classes you guys like the most? Based Leper is amazing for dealing with those first two slots and his self heals are amazing when he can't do anything, but I think I like Bounty Hunter the best so far, him and Occultist for life, 40 crits happening, enemy champions aren't shit.

>>378794865
it seemed easy to me, but then I tried the darkest dungeon and just got wrecked every time

>>378794865
Game is hard at first weeks for everyone, that's how game mechanics are designed. You have no enough control / trinkets / well scaled skills (stuns) to minimize the risk and so the most deaths often happen at first weeks even for experienced players.

People have trouble because nu-gamers are used for hand-holding gameplay and can't even figure out how to play a pretty simple game like Darkest Dungeon without wasting a century to finish it. You only need to grind A LOT if you make mistakes A LOT and lose heroes every time.

I like pretty much all heroes except Occultist and Abomination. They are not weak or gimped, in fact Abomination is fucking OP and is a key hero to speedrun abuse. But I just don't like them.

Jester with finale, HWM, Vestal, PD, MaA, HM are my top tier picks.

>>378792619
>A new Hero class. “Awash in blood and delusion, they bear the burden of a thousand lifetimes.”
We getting a vamp hero?

>>378795371
Man as soon as it hits the level 5 dungeons I get my shit wrecked, recently went up against the Shrieker and got fucked up until it ran away just before my party started to die.

>>378794865
>Game was pretty hard at first, but after a bit it wasn't that bad.

The difficulty curve is pretty retarded to be honest. It starts off hard, but turns into a piece of piss as soon as you have a few town upgrades and a couple of decent trinkets. I think that's why people get discouraged early on and why the completion rate is so low.

>can't convert heirlooms to gold once you've upgraded the stuff actually worth upgrading in the hamlet

Irrational.

>>378795830
Probably. Third mission I got a secret room and the chest had a Head of Junia in it. Healing was probably my major issue in the early game and that solved it easily. Went from being scared of using Hellion to loving them, Iron Swan the back of the enemies is amazing, especially against some of the first bosses. Fuck the Prophet.

Anderson was right.

>>378792918
What is Devil Daggers

>>378796179
Vestal with the Head of Junia and that other trinket that boosts healing by 30% becomes ridiculous. Means the Occultist only works as healer in Abomination party's

>>378792619
Is it a sperate campaign where you start with all new people or does it play alongside the main game?

>>378792530
>play my annoying, repetitive, grindin gaem

No.

>>378796274
Anderson was right on almost every criticism.

He was also right on taste being subjective. I agreed with most of his video and yet I love darkest dungeon and have played the shit out of it, and I never once felt like I wasn't enjoying myself.

>>378792918
>all those neat trophies that never made it to PS4

Worst port ever.

>>378792530
>Get fucking Good, shitters.

Yeah, nothing more skillful than stalling a fight with 2 shitter enemies and spamming stress heals for 20 turns.

>>378796612
why are the stress heals so weak

>>378796325
I like the Occultist easily enough. Healers are kind of scarce in my current game, funny enough, so Occultist is there when my two Vestals are out. I usually use Occultist with my Leper, since he can only hit the front and then Occultist can just Artillery the back.

Abomination just doesn't feel right to me, like I feel forced to take a Jester if I don't want to have stress start piling on, so I pretty much just don't take them at all.

>>378796274
I cant take anything the guy said seriously after he called DD one of the most horrible gaming experiences in his life. He really must have not played games if THIS is so bad that the entire game is irredeemable trash.

>>378796727
To be fair he forced himself through the grind despite not enjoying it where most people would have dropped it and played something else.

>>378796702
I feel you on the Jester thing but the Abomination with his stuns can prevent stress gain completely if you have Hound-bro. Constant stuns and they can't do shit to stop it.

>>378796843
Even the grind isnt so bad that its THE MOST HORRIBLE GAME EVER. He should play some really old school JRPGs if this is activating his almonds.

I just wish the looting system was better, side grades do not fit in with this type of game. You fight through a dungeon, people getting shitty traits and going insane almost dying and what do you get for it? An item that gives you something like +2.5%armor -2.5%hp, its just so boring

>>378796916
I've used him in his normal state for the stun, chain can hit almost anything and I like that, but I don't like ignoring his whole transform gimmick. He just doesn't feel strong enough for the stress it gives.

If I want a stun, I just use Bounty Hunter or Plague Doctor, or maybe even Hellion. AoE stuns are just too good in most cases and I seem to get more millage out of the other classes damage too.

>>378796612
champion dungeons were a mistake

>>378797057
I can see why they did that, they didn't want your progress to come down to HAVING to get Trinkets. You can manage just fine for the most part. God though, started a new game for my nephew and one of the first trinkets I pulled out of a freaking Torch sconce was the one that gives you 20% extra damage if you are in the front position. I didn't even know that was possible.

>>378797159
Fair enough, him not being able to pair with so many others is a major negative as well.
However with the right trinkets the stress he gains with Transform can be mostly negated and he can strike a good balance of AoE DoTs, stuns then switch up to tank and sheer damage.
He works well if you send him in with your B-team that you don't use often since they can have a few weeks after to de-stress if it gets real bad.

I've never had someone hit 100 stress with him in the party

I've tried to play this game multiple times, even waited months for the Radiant mode update thinking that would help it doesn't. I tried using the resources in the general, but I still get stomped by the RNG and it crushes my desire to keep going when my party gets demolished and I have no gold to fix up or train other party members.

>>378797057
>An item that gives you something like +2.5%armor -2.5%hp, its just so boring

I have no idea what the fuck they were thinking making pretty much every trinket trash with only a few of them actually mixing up how a hero plays or doing anything remotely interesting.

>>378797521
Maybe if I could find Trinkets for him it would change my position, but I get fucking nothing.

Is this a mechanic the game does to ensure you don't just get nothing but shit for classes you don't have? Because I dismissed him when I wanted to pick up an Arbalist.

>>378797057
>An item that gives you something like +2.5%armor -2.5%hp, its just so boring

it's usually pretty significant though, especially at higher tiers

On a game where 10 damage is significant, getting +20% is the difference between one shotting an enemy and needing two turns to do it.

>>378797536
Ok, no. What are you doing in combat? Are you using turn order well enough? Are you understanding priority targets? Are you putting together your party with heroes that compliment? There really shouldn't be any reason you are having trouble with level 1 dungeons if you understand even the basics.

>>378795830
>The difficulty curve is pretty retarded to be honest. It starts off hard, but turns into a piece of piss as soon as you have a few town upgrades and a couple of decent trinkets. I think that's why people get discouraged early on and why the completion rate is so low.

It's far from being easy on Stygian with new champion enemies.
It's really challenging when you play in full dark and always fight champion Shambler as well.

>>378797728
It honestly feels like it and without trinkets a lot of the use for Abomination goes right out the fucking window. My most recent run I didn't start using him until I had over 20 heroes precisely because I found fuck all for him.

Arbalest is a much better choice in that case.

>>378796520
>being shitter trash

Find easier game, casul.

>>378792530
This game is just fucking tedious, at end game you have to have like 3 groups of identical teams with all the same gear and abilities.
Shit is retarded.

Also, the musketeer re-skinned Arbalest bitch was removed from the PS4 version for no reason. Fuck this game.

>>378798046

Yeah how about no, faggot.
Different teams suit each DD better.

>win game

Wow so tactical and deep.

>>378797919
I don't bother with playing full dark, but yeah the difficulty definitely picks up again once you hit Champion.

In fact, I'd say most mid/large champion dungeons are actually worse than the DD itself at this point, given how much the new enemies can fuck you up.

>>378798376
Explain in detail how to cheese with hellion stack

Do I use 3 hellions + someone else or 4 hellions

What abilities

What trinkets

I hate games that pretend they're deep and end up free once you know the loopholes

This, FTL and BoI are really bad offenders, they're boring as fuck after you figure out how to abuse the game mechanics and since it's not "esports", the devs don't give a shit about balancing.

That's why i stick to competitive games and dorf fort

Better, let me just edit this text file.

Game has good atmosphere, ambiance, and voice - these get real grating about 10 hours in after you've hit tier 3 dungeons and combat goes from being able to play the way you want versus playing towards some tedious gimmick to ensure your carefully curated party doesn't bite the fucking dust and you get to grind another 10 hours building one.

And man I hate shills.

>>378798737
Shitposting is against the rules too.

If your time isn't valuable to you and you enjoy a game designed specifically to waste your time repeating the same content over and over without any meaningful thought or skill then Darkest Dungeon is for you.

The games not even fun though. Awful combat with an immense grind. It's like playing a really shitty visual novel honestly.

Also you can't at all state that the average playthrough for a person completing the game has absolutely no team wipes or deaths. You are basically saying the only way to enjoy this game is to complete it flawlessly.

>Pitch Black just becomes crit central.
Yet people still finish it with no healers, 1 trinket challenge, no stuns, etc.

If you have died even once in Darkest Dungeon, you aren't the target demographic for this game. Go play a game that is more friendly to shitters like Bloodbourne or something

>>378799823
Aren't you supposed to be arguing pitch black is difficult? You're just proving what I said before.

>>378799773
They can only hit first 2 ranks.
Use guard to rank 1-2 heroes and you will avoid getting smashed.
The only way they can POSSIBLY nuke you down is to:
1. shuffle everyone with spores
2. get a turn again and hit someone

It's hardly possible as they are slow and should never get 2 turns in a row.

>>378799627
No, that is a false equivalence. Darkest Dungeon does not require route memorization except for a very specific instance, nor does it require precise execution of moves. Any bit of information you might need can be looked up in the wiki, all you need to do to succeed in that game is stop sucking and read what the character abilities do.

>>378799895
You said it's "crit central" which makes little to zero sense.

It's definitely hard but not impossible if you are not a shitter.

>>378799948

I'm not arguing the game is hard, I'm arguing the opposite. Having no torches is crit central. Or were you referring to the mod?

>>378799965
That's not at all what the argument is, jesus christ, you people are acting so fucking obtuse just to parrot that this game is a craft of absolute perfection.

I'm saying that you can't expect every player who comes into DD wanting to like it to play the game near flawlessly and never feel even the tiniest bit of tedium due to mechanics that promote grinding to build up multiple entire teams.

People here are saying the game is fine because if you don't die, if you learn every mechanic and minimize every bit of RNG, if you play your first or second or third run with absolutely no error then the game is perfectly fun. But that's not even 10% of the playerbase for this game. It's less than 2%. And that's why a lot of people think this game is boring as fuck because even to the target demographic it's tedious to play. But please continue to go on about how people are shitters and thats literally the only reason why they don't like DD.

>>378800170
It's certainly hard as champion Shambler is probably the hardest encounter in the game and you will fight him A LOT in pitch black.

It's actually not very well designed as it limits your team to certain heroes who can fight with Shambler.

Unlike full light runs where you can use pretty much everything and still win.

>>378798005

The last and deadliest change in New Game+, however, is the possibility of failing a campaign. Unlike the regular campaign - where your victory can be as long and bloody as it needs to be - you will immediately fail if either of the following things happens:

You take more than 86 weeks to finish the game.
13 or more of your heroes are killed.

no shit sherlock. I'm astounded by how bad people can be at this game. What kind of faggot keeps 4 guys together as a dedicated team, you run with what guys are available and it's pretty obvious after an hour what classes have synergies.

>>378801347
The game mode that's unlocked after beating the game is irrelevant to what we're talking about. I don't even know why you mentioned it.

>>378801348
Nigga you can learn DF on your own, its not recommended and it will take longer but there are fucking hundreds of ways of breaking that game. For the longest time you could just set cage traps and it was gg for whatever came after you.

I'm not proposing they have the same level of complexity, just that the argument was retarded.

If you want actual criticism for DD, try talking about the lack of enemy variety. Or how about the fact when you figure a team composition per district, you very rarely stray from your figured formula. DDis one of my favorite games of all time, and it has obvious flaws. "RNG AND GRIND" are not either of them.

You don't even understand what grind means.

And the process of fighting in different dungeons is fun and interesting.

>>378801885

You literally do the same shit over and over to have Darkest Dungeon ready heroes, you do this so much more so if they die. It's a grind.

>>378801562
>>378801648
NG+ got renamed as Stygian mode and made available at the start with the Radiant update rather than forcing you to beat the game to unlock it because it's not that much harder than default difficulty.

It was supposed to be ready by fucking February.

You can criticize the game well enough, but RNG is just not a proper argument. It doesn't say anything wrong about the game, it only says you have a lack of understanding of the games mechanics. Will there be times where you get crit three times in a row in full light? Sure, but you can come back from that. It's just about if you are willing to.

Proper complaints are.

>It's too grindy
This is why the put in Radiant mode, they agreed, but they didn't want to get rid of the grind for those that enjoyed it.

>Character Balance is horrible
Yes, there aren't enough party combinations I feel and builds can be limited if you don't want to take horrible risks

>Not enough variety in enemies

But no, all I see is people complaining about how hard the game is and how anyone enjoying themselves is shilling for Red Hook, or is simply fooling themselves and the game isn't that good.

Try again, shitlord.

Finished DD 3 times - 2 on normal difficulty and 1 on true difficulty. Took me less time than The Witcher 3 with DLCs.

>>378803043

The final-final boss is cinematic. If you get through the ancestor without getting too much of your ass kicked it's extremely easy.

The ancestor however is not an easy fight if you don't go in knowing what to expect. Crowd control with stun can make a massive difference.

In my mind the ancestor is the real final boss in terms of difficulty. After that is just an interactive ending.

I started "gaming" in mid 90's and believe me, sonny, I know what "grind" means after a bunch of gook-MMOs and games like Ultima Online.

Darkest Dungeon is a perfect casual trash filler after all. It never fails to filter casuals like you out.
It's impressive how well it works on neo-"gamers" who can only play modern console garbage games with press X to win and no challenge whatsoever.
RNG, Grind, Tedious gameplay, etc. It all comes from newfags like you who fail a lot in DD and prolong the game because you have to start leveling new heroes over and over and over again.
And that's exactly the definition of a CASUAL SHITTER who can't get good.

Stygian mode doesn't even forgive your normie kind and will delete your garbage save file if you lose 10 heroes or waste too much time with your "grind".

well that i noticed from the 2 survivors who didn't die from heart attacks, lots of damage being dealt on God himself for a team that's been crippled. guess it's time to bust out the old Plague Doc later tonight

guess I got sloppy from dealing with the regular bosses just fine, minus that one time I had to run from the Drowned Crew because I brought only good 1 DPS

>>378803043
Ancestor and his bubble gum clones are tedious as fuck. Wish the devs had buffed the heart phase instead.

> i'm guessing stunning is just as effective as ever?

Yeah, Plague Doctor with stun trinkets should see you through.

>>378803597

Plague Doctor gets a lot of flak and I don't really know why. Plague Doctor crowd control maybe moves the battles along a bit slower but shit, do it right and basically the only way you'll lose a party member is if you get hit with some insane combination of horrifying luck.

>mfw I havent finish the game because the three DD missions drain the fun out of the game

Its the final fight even worth the efford or its just another slog?

I drop the game because right when I got close to getting all the trinkets the next patch delete them from my inventory (no , I didnt lost them to the Crow or in the tavern, they are gone)

>>378803515

you're an underageb& who's trying way too hard

we get it

>>378803973

Final fight is fun, the last dungeon is refreshing since it's just straight to the last fight.

I kind of liked the three DD missions. They were different and had a sense of "don't fuck this up" that the other dungeons didn't. But I can see why others would think they were tedious.

So, what's a good party to kill that fucking shrieker, and does it drop its items if killed in the nest when it steals your shit?

Will the DLC be free or paid?

>>378804323
$10

>>378804191

The second one was fun, the third was just a pain in the ass that ended in a easy as fuck fight.

Gonna give it a try but Im still mad about my trinkets, I wont hunt 5 ancestor trinkets again cuz the game feels like it

>>378803973
like it was said above, it can either be a cinematic battle to end your play through on or an obnoxious game of whack a mole against the final boss, depending on whether the game wants to let you advance

>>378804241
Shrieker doesn't drop anything, but smashing the nest gives you a pretty good payday

>>378805164
I was mainly talking about the grind. The fact that your characters are also banned from dungeons if they level up means hero progression is always at the lowest point of the spectrum. There's no climax to it aside from the last dungeon but they can only do that once.

>>378805567
It takes less than 50-60 weeks to finish the game.
