You can't run in circles fighting those things. Is about learning their pattern and paying attention to the HUD the game gives you. For example, the Queen loves to use a lot of ranged attacks, most of them you can block, but you have to pay close attention when a red meter shows up which means you won't be able to block the attack. Also have to learn that you can't just hack and slash while in close quarters because of two special attacks she uses. So it has to be whenever she takes a break after using aerial attacks or whenever a red meter attack ends.

It makes it extremely difficult without proper armor and skills completed. After that is just pattern learning and paying attention to the clues while fighting.

Agreed. Playing the Monster Hunter series on PSP, and then eventually console was a nightmare. Too complex. I'm very happy the franchise is now on PC where it belongs

My CSL DD is shipping early

I have been waiting almost 3 months. No more peasant wheel setup for me. The FFB feedback in ACC feels kinda weak so my G920 makes it really difficult to drive the edgier cars.

Perfectly described about 98% of games out there, if not more than that.

Back in the day (although I still rock this old Logitech G15) I used to assign hot keys and everything... Now they just collect dust. Although I don't seem to have many games that require multiple key presses in sequence anymore.

OK, that's a little better, as long as that type of gameplay is consistent through the game. I've whined before about open world games that force you to fight major bosses in arena style settings with no ability to strategically attack like you can in the rest of the game.

A lot of the enemies are pretty easy, but the game encourages you to use your shield and roll to evade attacks. You also have to use Atreus (Companion) to navigate around harder to hit enemies. It is a hack and slash game in essence, but is not the smartest idea to just smash buttons and run around. I would say is a lot like Dark Souls 1 in terms of combat, but with a narrative story added to it. Equipment is essential, and though exploration is not encouraged by the game itself you'll find it highly rewarding if you do.


Edit: I can use family share with your Steam acct if you want to try it. Its free.

I appreciate the offer, but I've got more games than I can play now. I'm still trying to master Doomhaven enough I don't embarrass myself.

Does anyone have a recent RMA experience? I've shipped off my Gigabyte GPU for repair/replacement. It's been 2 months, and still no card. What is the typical lead time?

I'm guessing the supply chain issues might be causing some delays as well

If any RMA took two months I would definitely call the company. If you don't say anything, you will always be at the back of the list.
