Perfects turn-based combat in you're path

perfects turn-based combat in you're path

Its braindead game where you need to stall fights for stess and dmg heals.

Based. Shitters will deny it but OP speaks the truth.
Also the multiplayer vs mode is fun

It was so nice to play a turn-based game not bogged down by shallow complexity fluff. Instead you get a game where each move has its own specific niche, each enemy must be carefully considered, teambuilding changes constantly and is vitally important, adaptation to RNG and different level layouts is mandatory, character power level is gracefully balanced and you can't just powerfarm to overcome, and the challenge level is so consistently high and punishing that small decision errors actually matter, and it constantly demands your attention and keeps you on your toes.

the modding scene got taken over by chinese porn addicts

And that’s a good thing

Waaahhh, I'm scared

Gayest turn based, you mean.

Even with that you have to be careful about balancing damage vs healing, managing reinforcements, and it makes each dungeon take significantly longer, increasing runtime and the likelihood that you make a mistake. Also characters with heal/stress heal have tradeoffs in other parts of their kit.

Sounds more like you ragequit, looked up why it was so hard, then just thought "THAT'S BULLSHIT, HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT!!" when you read about stalling, without even understanding the careful consideration that goes into a stalling playstyle, but a little healing here and there is just a no-brainer.

git guud

Anon Babble should have been deleted like Anon Babble

I completed it many times you dumb fuck, did all crimson court in single run, party without stress amd dmg heals is suboptimal, you always take cleric and stress healer.

You being shit at the game isn’t criticism thoughbeit
Cry harder

Me being trans isn't a criticism though

I've got bad news sister

schizocope

Let me guess: you made all the right choices but the game saw you were doing too well and gave you worse rng?

no stygian

Silence shitter. And when did I say healer and stress healer are bad? Vestal is a noob's best friend, even in Stygian. They just aren't mandatory, and the better you get, the more you play around mitigation.

Lmao lil bro is seething

perfect turn-based

My ass

Lustiest Lair

enemies rarely activate porn scenes unless they're bosses

some bosses will trap you in an inescapable loop

pregnancy replacing curses lacks a fresh sprite

I was so disappointed after wasting ~8 hours getting it to work and trying it out.

Those are the best mods.

Why does bleeding causes corpses to just disappear? Does that make any sense to you? Shills will never answer this question.

A body without blood will be more frail and thus easier to destroy.
Checkmate liberal

When I say I like turn based games, it isn't shit like this reddit turd

Why does walking backwards cause stress? Can't they just turn around? Shouldn't they feel better instead since the path behind is cleared?

proceeds to then ruin its perfect combat for no reason

The fact you need to bring healers/stress healers into the dungeons is a little annoying. Like it's not bad since it's part of a team but it's not optional or you can't offset a bad team comp with more items or resources is kinda annoying.

Plus I liked the beta version of the game where you could get cursed artifacts that dropped that looked like they had positive effects for some characters but were actually negative (+% bleed chance on occultist lol)

Also Darkest has a slight issue in general that applies to this type of game where characters get characters quirks and flaws that influence their stats and future events but you can't really use that or keep it in mind that much for gameplay purposes; it's just a passive thing you have to sink gold into.

peak 4 niggas in a row
ruined the entire genre for me

the second game is much better on the combat aspect

You don't need to bring them and tons of characters have healing and/or stress healing (vestal, abyssal, crusader, houndmaster, Flagellant, Jester, Arbalest, Leper, Abomination), most of it you can just mitigate by prioritizing the stress dealers in the backline.

I imagine it being like a cave, everyone has to go on a line because there's not enough space to stand shoulder to shoulder, if you want to change places you have to squeeze through and you can't turn around because you equipment gets in the way.
I would be stressed the fuck if a skeleton appeared suddenly I had to be combat ready while trying to shuffle into combat position.

i thought the meta was 4x damage dealers, not vestal

i finished the game without a single stress healer
you can play rank 1 occultist melee

Vestal is based but everyone likes to act like it's noob-bait just because its playstyle is a bit braindead, when in reality even the highest level players use vestal regularly.

half the gameplay is grinding to counter the fact something can kill you in two hits and waste all of your progress

Maybe if you are a shitter who is constantly getting wiped. The game is punishing you for sucking. Go back down to radiant, or probably just play a different game, it's too hard for you.

Occ outclasses her in almost every way though

cope

yeah good lucky taking shit out of deaths door without secondary healer when you play occultist

lol just don't get hit

git gud

It’s literally a 1/23 that he rolls a 0.
And he has the Potential to heal someone basically to full at the same time. AND he has the best stun in the game so people won’t be at DD as often

Vestal is much more consistent. Consistency is one of the most important factors in Stygian.

Also I'm pretty sure his chances are not an even spread, I think it's weighted towards the highest and lowest ends, it's very common to get 0-1 for like 3-4 rolls in a row.

Combat is better in the sequel. Tokens > stats, deal with it. Would be even better without dodge and blindness.
Lol, cope.

token based combat>stat based combat

You rode the short bus didn’t you

You really don't if you have any idea about how to handle the groups. I've done runs with no healers because I just didn't have them at the proper level and I still managed to destroy everything because camp healing is just that good. The only time I would say they are "mandatory" is in Long dungeons and only because you sometimes have bad rolls and you need to take a breather and even then you can just have two Crusaders popping Battle Heal on some shitter spider or maggot while your other two clean up.

Everyone always underestimates the Rank 1 Occultist. Dude crits like a maniac on Sac Stab, even against non-eldrich, he finishes shit off more then not and Hands from the Abyss is such a good stun. You have less reason to put him in the back, unless you want to try to AoE the back line with him and Plague Doctor in the cove or something.

The assets not being ported. They are being remade in DD1's artstyle. Being ported implies they are being used as such with some modifications.

In my entire last playthrough, the only time this happened was on a level 4 party that I forgot to get defense upgrade on, when they went into a Champion Warrens and got crit hit by a Twin Dagger bandit for 25 both times. Death Door, Bleed, dead. I blamed myself for forgetting to get the fucking armor. After that, the only time I went from full health to almost dead was a Treebranch Smackdown, which was healed to full by Occultist crit. If you are constantly about to die, that means you have poor team comp, bad trinket usage or you are trying to go far outside of your level range.

Crimson court is the most bullshit this game gets. It's fine otherwise.

how do you comfortably get people to virtue?

Not him but I guess using by stacking trinkets.

Too much instadeath RNG that you have to grind to mitigate, the game fulfils its goal of making you stressed but it's not even mechanically decent and wouldn't work with a different setting

Will we ever get kino like this again?

It was possible but now that Wayne June is dead, no.

Shitter retard cope

Why are anons making DD threads now?

DD

instadeath

DD threads have been fairly regular since 2015.

Post your most despised enemy/boss.

skilled players can regularly beat stygian in half the time torchless with no deaths

retards on radiant cry about how hard, unfair RNG, and grindy it is

KWAB, skill issue

Yeah but it feels like I've been seeing 3 to 5 a day now, did something happen? Last time I thought about DD was DD2 when they added Kingdoms

No good turn based games in the market right now. People just like to reminisce about the good times.

I thought Claire was fun

*blocks your path*

Bowsers inside story is so much better than this.

is braindead easy

dodge/parryslop

lol

I atill hate the Collector so much it's unreal.

Just stun him lol

Makes a sequel so bad that even the narrator died of cringe

Holy shit, you faggots are worse than souls fags at their peak. Saying "skill issue" and variants over and over again doesn't make the game good, otherwise superman 64 would be one of the greatest games ever

How I wish there was a version of BR I could play without the all of the art being unrepentantly cum-stained.

I agree with you but clearly Jewhook or any other devs disagree.
I think that a game like this is just a complete nightmare to actually make fun.
A single % off and you wont even know what the actual problem is and you wont notice for hundreds of hours, multiply that problem by 25000 times and you can really only pray that your game is playable

that's an odd pic of Clair Obscur

Except it’s literally a skill issue lol

I gave it a try 8 years ago, and I hated it.

not also refunding openworld slop

bait

characters quirks and flaws that influence their stats and future events but you can't really use that or keep it in mind that much for gameplay purposes

Nah you just need to get on top of curing the really bad shit on them early. I always took into account who had good bonuses for levels and whether or not the negatives would actually come into effect. You can get people perfectly tailored to specific dungeons relatively early.

My meta is having 4 of each class in the roster.

I don't mind coom mods but my god atleast make them on the artstyle of the game

I don’t like how it takes over the whole game and is about vampires when they had a perfectly fine madness motif going. That blood rage effect could easily have been some madness frenzy. Just another example that the devs really had no clue and got lucky the first time.

Yes, someday, but not from this studio.

add coo/hot skin mod

replaces the skeleton and breaks all other skins

why the do they even do this? their skin is not worth sacrifising all my other skins

add coomer mod by own volition

complain that coomer mod isn't good enough

You have no one but yourself to blame.

I'm a fan of CC, but I run content mods for it and ones that make the curse rarer and less awful and haven't played it without. Random actions are a punishment only deserved by a resolve check.

Why the fuck is the Darkest Dungeon community so incredibly horny? The actual game itself has zero skin shown anywhere but half the steam workshop is NSFW.

add coomer mod

some were but others werent and besides that, there a gazillion coomer mods that dont break other skins, wwhy do they have to make it so their skins break everything else? i just think is stupid and personally i doubt anyone even uses those skins, they are not that good

Playing on 1.00 and abusing the shit of unnerfed risposte is really fun.

Krekkov started it all. His mod is still the most tasteful one.

Enduring horrors beyond comprehension makes you horny as shit i suppose

hes not so bad as long as you pull and push him out of the spots where he can submerge

bait

2017

This bait has lived longer than your scrotum sack wrinkles.

You mean Shindol, he was the first to make lewd female character sprites? What krekkov mod?

yea shindoL I mixed up the pron artists.

visible eyes

tasteful

YUCK

I want vestal wife NOW

i want some cool new classes but theres way too many to sift through and most of them ruin the aesthetic of the game

Yeah, I love it.
Only got like 20 hours out of DD2 tho

perfects it only to butcher it next game

Why the fuck are there over 30 status effects?

My only problem with it is that the game pushes you WAY too hard to start CC with the bullshit "Town Abuzz" event. And it's not its effects that are annoying, it's the fact that it LITERALLY blocks every random town event from appearing, only fixed ones like guaranteed SB/Flag get to appear. It effectively cucks you out of some content.
Why the FUCK does this DLC, or any DLC for that matter, even need to be forced upon the players in such a disgusting way? Surely the cool trinket sets are enough as an incentive?

eyes visible

most of the trinket set bonuses sucked anyways. the trinkets in general were kind of shitty since speed and accuracy are so important

The sense of scale in the first game is way different comppared to the sequel. Like how fucking big was this for it to bite all party members at once for 50-70% of health? Like it must have been Spinosaurus sized

Any new class mods you recommend?

The pig king and the cannon were even bigger

The music was incredible tho

it would be near perfect if it showed the turn order of everything but instead you either just say fuck it and pump speed and hope for the best or you get really fucking autistic to figure out the turn order.

stalling fights for stress relief

never understood this meme, just send your people to stress relief in town after a dungeon? maybe its alot worse on the hardest difficulty in which case just make sure you've got good stress healers in camps and you're fine.

Each character rolls a d8 that is then added to their speed stat to determine order each turn.

thanks
i love this image lol

The most impressive turn based combat I have played is pic related. It obviously more simple as it emulates shooters, but it has such a good flow that it doesn't feel turn based most of the time.

The narrator carried that game HARD, it wouldn't of even been half as successful without him.

No, retard, it has some of the absolute best turn-based fundamentals out there. The narrator is a nice addition, but the game would be nothing without its deep, challenging, addicting combat.

yeah dude learning to abuse stalling for sure is deep

The only bad thing about this game is how entering the final dungeon makes all your guys so scared they wont enter it again. It should have only been 1 of the 4 or it should have been stressed based. Aside from that the game is kino
The fanatic made me want to cry

I am silly

beat the game or shut the fuck retard

absolute retard they added enemy reinforcements and party stress if you stalled for too long to stop niggers from abusing it and healing their party to full each fight, you'd know this if you played the fucking game

has the best implementation of bros moves

every game after goes out of its way to be as least like it as possible

It perfected turn based combat by making it boring dogshit where you either play as safe as possible or get ass raped by rng? Kind of a weird take but ok

Filtered shitter
