      >le zoomers false flag

      We have to confront a hard truth that few people seem to want to face about the Souls games, but here it is: the combat is nothing remarkable. In terms of actual complexity there's not much going on. There's not much depth, and that wouldn't be a problem, except the series has increasingly leaned on its action elements more and more as time has gone by. If you're a staunch defender of the series this is where you might be tempted to rattle off all the attack animations your favorite weapons has... It's true that there are differences in range and damage, but the effect on the enemy is usually identical. They lose some health, possibly suffer some hitstun which either lasts long enough to get another attack in or it doesn't, in which case you go back on the defensive until your next opening. Positioning is important, but that's about the extent of it. In terms of defensive options the series is a lot better, with the ability to block, parry, or dodge most regular attacks... Unfortunately, against bosses, parrying is often completely impossible and blocking is often ill-advised, which leaves you with rolling as your one and only defensive action. So prepare to roll again and again, and again and again and again. When you're not rolling you'll generally be getting 1-2 hits in with whatever weapon you choose, hits that usually provoke no response from the boss whatsoever making every weapon basically the same thing apart from whatever damage types and numbers it has. You go in, you learn the moveset. maybe you die a few times along the way, until you know the boss's moves like the back of your hand. Then you dodge past them, punish at the right times, and win the battle. It's perfectly serviceable gameplay but doing it 20x in one game is just excessive. I'm not saying you should be able to juggle Hollows or anything, but if the game is going to be so relentlessly focused on action then I have fewer reasons not to just play a better action game.

      Obviously because turn based gays have no standards for gameplay quality whatsoever and will eat up the dumbest, most repetitive slop as long at the game tries to make them feel smart smart for doing easy tasks.

      Pokemon at least tries and bucks tons of the absolutely horrid conventions that make most other JRPGs terrible.

          The real problem is that all the stories have been told. Very few original stories exist anymore. My idea was "Disco Jackboot", of which the dev of Disco Elysium stole my name for.

          In Disco Jackboot, you would play as a group of soldiers like Commandos 2, but it would be either like MGS3 gameplay, or a turn-based system (as is my new idea), and in it you would be fighting against the Nazis in World War 2, but Hitler would want the primary character, the Irish Green Beret, to be a specimen for his Aryan program.

          There are very few original stories to tell anymore, and yet there is mine.

                Correct, you yourself cannot save anyone or bring anyone to Christ. The Holy Spirit does. A believer's job is to plant the seed of the Gospel so that the Holy Spirit can make it grow. Literally billions of people on earth have never heard the real Gospel and the commision to the church, given by Christ Himself, is to bring that seed to them. It's not smashing your head on the wall just because you don't see immediate results. You yourself can do nothing, God does, your job is to be obedient to Him and do what He tells you.

                That chapter is about the antichrist coming rather, that's how it ends, not that exact verse. We don't just read one verse out of context. The chapter starts with a description of those led astray by antichrists (like Judas, the israelites who rejected the Spirit who spoke through the prophets, etc) and as a result rejected the God of Israel and broke His covenant. It then goes into a description of the new covenent being broken by those of the nations who ends up following the future antichrist into lawlessness and disobedience and how it results in the exact same consequences.

                The Mosaic covenant was made with the sons of Israel, not with the gentiles. Gentiles are not under any obligation to follow the law of a covenant that was not made with or for them. What gentiles ARE obligated to follow are the precepts of the New Covenant, which they were admitted to through Christ. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Not even Daniel or Isaiah would agree with you, much less the Apostles of the Lord.

A troony can't wear a dress, but could wear clothes made for men. The discovery of the Torah is where you will find enlightenment, but few are able to discern Judaic law and see the light of it.

                I was made a certain way where I didn't have to really read or memorize the Torah law, because I am it, or I am the law personified.

                I follow the parts of the Torah as commanded to me by the New Covenant. I am a gentile so I cannot partake of the Mosaic Covenant even if I wanted to, which is irrelevant anyway as the Mosaic Covenant is not salvific in any way.

                Depends what you consider to be schizo ramblings. I'm simply outlining the orthodox, plain reading of the text to a hertic who is appealing to forged "sources" written centuries after Jesus as authoritative while taking every single line of actual scripture out of context.

                Most of the israelites who actually are israelites believe there will be a Messiah. They just can't decide on which one. They deny Jesus because he was killed before he fulfilled prophecy about him having children, and in all likelihood, he essentially killed himself because the pressure was mounting too high to be king of the entire world for all the israelites, and he decided to off himself.

                He was a "new Adam" just like an old israeli man I know told me I was a "new Adam" 13 years ago.

                I don't really care about being the Messiah. I'd die the same. The world has been shown to be evil and I don't fit into it. That doesn't mean anyone is going to be saved by God, because over 95% of humanity is damned for one reason or another.

                Such a high priest truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.

Maybe it has something to do with all the rest of humanity not being as righteous as I am, but even in my Christian school I ran into problems with the church and school leaders, and I've watched the world go off a cliff by denying what I say to them every step of the way. You oppose me at every turn. Over and over. Because of your sin and unbelief.

    We have to confront a hard truth that few people seem to want to face about the Souls games, but here it is: the combat is nothing remarkable. In terms of actual complexity there's not much going on. There's not much depth, and that wouldn't be a problem, except the series has increasingly leaned on its action elements more and more as time has gone by. If you're a staunch defender of the series this is where you might be tempted to rattle off all the attack animations your favorite weapons has... It's true that there are differences in range and damage, but the effect on the enemy is usually identical. They lose some health, possibly suffer some hitstun which either lasts long enough to get another attack in or it doesn't, in which case you go back on the defensive until your next opening. Positioning is important, but that's about the extent of it. In terms of defensive options the series is a lot better, with the ability to block, parry, or dodge most regular attacks... Unfortunately, against bosses, parrying is often completely impossible and blocking is often ill-advised, which leaves you with rolling as your one and only defensive action. So prepare to roll again and again, and again and again and again. When you're not rolling you'll generally be getting 1-2 hits in with whatever weapon you choose, hits that usually provoke no response from the boss whatsoever making every weapon basically the same thing apart from whatever damage types and numbers it has. You go in, you learn the moveset. maybe you die a few times along the way, until you know the boss's moves like the back of your hand. Then you dodge past them, punish at the right times, and win the battle. It's perfectly serviceable gameplay but doing it 20x in one game is just excessive. I'm not saying you should be able to juggle Hollows or anything, but if the game is going to be so relentlessly focused on action then I have fewer reasons not to just play a better action game.

    I genuinely believe this could work
    Your average JRPG doesn't even feel like a game because this shit completely disregards the player and there's 0 balancing. All the gameplay variables have so little purpose behind them, skill damage and enemy HP might as well be random numbers
    And this is exactly what FromSoft is good at. If random H-game devs can deliver better balanced combat than mainstream JRPGs, the legendary game director Michael Zaki can do it too
