Looks great. I just hope the combat is more interesting and in depth than previous games with their endless tedious button mashing.

@dexda: It wasn't button mashing, you just played it on filthy casual difficulty.

Hack and slash requires a lot of thought and timing, nothing button mashy about that.

@putaspongeon: Played it on hardest difficulty and it was nothing but button mashing.

@dexda: Then I don't believe you played it, unless your idea of button mashing is pressing buttons, in which case every single game in existence is a button masher.

@putaspongeon: God of War: Pick a combo that works and use it for every encounter in the game. That is a perfect summary of it.

You can beat the entire game easily just using one button.

I mean I guess it breaks it up with quick time events but since they take zero skill I don't even count it as gameplay.

@dexda: >combo

Sounds like the sort of talk I'd expect from a style (over substance) focused 'crazy' casual. Efficiency rules the day, boy.

>every encounter

You can beat DMC on any setting with the same talk, friend. Worse still, you can do so with item abuse (something GoW does have). Before you're fool enough to cite ranks, remember that such things are not part of 'beating the game'. At all. They're extra conditions (not altogether different from self-imposed challenges like NUR, NER, NRR, NCR, etc.). Frankly, GoW has a few instances that hit well beyond what DMC offers in terms of difficulty for similar challenge runs. The infamous Clones of GoW1 are one such case even on Hard (Glorified Normal) for NUR (or higher).

>one button

Same to DMC.

>but

You forgot the comma.

NOTE: If you would like to learn the ropes with GoW proper, I can bring you up to speed. Perhaps we ought to go over your run history though. You mentioned the highest difficulty, but your talk is less than convincing. Maybe we'll go over a fight or so with vanilla VH being the setting.

@MrStarkiller: When I said COMBOs I didn't mean long kill chains I meant hitting Squre three times gives a combo ATTACK.

But since Triple Square is so easy to do and so effective there was literally no reason to use anything except Square in the entire game. Just mash square and there you go last boss done.

DMC. Jesus you really do like some trash don't you? That game had the exact same fucking issues. Bland one dimensional combat that took no skill and was easily exploitable.

If you have to attack someone's grammar in a comment your are clearly a douchebag and can't think up anything relevant to add.

@dexda: >didn't mean 'hit count'

God, I'd hope not. But I knew what you meant. Knowing this, review what I said on the matter of 'style' (largely pursued by casuals messing around inefficiently rather than mastering the system).

>'s,s,s'

Good Lord, why would you think this is a wise notation in any entry? You're talking about Blades s1 to s2 to s3 as a general tactic? Do you not know damage values, hit properties, etc.? Inefficiency your thing? It isn't even a matter of style, then? Just laziness.

>Square

Why was this capitalized?

>no reason

Absolutes are absolutely tricky business. It only takes one exception to bring them down. Write that down on your hand if you don't trust your head, lad. Take for instance the VH Clones even in vanilla. You will never defeat them with light strings alone. Even with MAX Blades, it won't make a difference. You would be hard pressed to pull out a miracle that way even with blocking and evading. Just not how the fight works, you see.

NOTE: If you were wanting to learn the ropes, you need only have asked. My offer stands. You should denote your run history, but if you just want to start with vanilla VH in GoW1, that suits me fine. I don't mind teaching how to effectively used upgraded abilities (OP magic and such).

>Jesus

You forgot the comma. Putting that aside, what's with your Ciri avatar, sport? You wouldn't happen to be backing that sort of title over proper HnS, would you? Surely not when disgusting displays as with what Ray does are perfectly achievable.

>exact same issues

You planning on spamming square there too, by any chance?

>your are

I own "are"? I don't follow. This said, all that I do is done for you. Not to you. What's with the victim complex, dear boy?

@MrStarkiller: Why was square capitalised?

Have you literally got nothing better to say? Why would you even waste your own time typing that?

The game is so casual you don't NEED to know any of the finer details to get through it. Just because you wasted your time reading into the game mechanics when it wasn't needed (or an advantage) is your problem.

Blah blah blah why would I want to get better at a game that can be beaten easily using only one button? I'd rather not play the game frankly because that is piss poor game design.
