Talk:Death/@comment-72.183.56.214-20130625124452

okay. i bought this game not two months ago, have already logged 232+ hours. so its fair to say i am (actually was) infatuated with it. it's pretty bleeping awesome.

to address Death... it is the stupidest enemy ever, the biggest wimp ever. i could go on but the total contempt i hold for the thing has now bled over. i now hate this game (not to say i will stop playing it, but Capcom can really go eff themselves. really. please. PLEASE).

the first time i killed Death: spent 6 straight hours running back and forth from, i think it was, the Rotwood Depository (maybe the room after it) and the nearest RiftStone (one of those Sanctuaries), always re-enlisting Pawns, to have them not last 2 minutes when i finally returned to Death. to be able to chip away at half a health bar, doing nothing but spamming Ricochet arrows (Magick Archer).

i am now attempting to end Death a second time. i did not want to waste 6 more hours (already wasted enough time running back and forth to Mountebank (REALLY CAPCOM, THE TRIANGLE BUTTON IS NOT BEING USED IN THE WHOLE-INVENTORY-LIST, WHY NOT LET IT FLIP THE MENU FOR YOU?!?! INSTEAD OF HAVING TO WASTE FORTY SECONDS EVERY TIME YOU WANT TO DUPE/GIFT SOMETHING FROM BITTERBLACK?!?! RAGERAGE ETC.))

Capcom: oh, players shouldnt waste time running back and forth to Mountebank to dupe items to upgrade their armor (really the only reason i am still playing this game), they should earn them through the drops.

with the spawn delays for the handfull of dragons, duping items is the only way to pass the time. and the drops, from what ive seen, hardly drop what you need at the time.

anyways, back to Death: i read this page.

followed the advice. loaded up a lone ranger with blast arrows and prepared to dominate.

...

Death was not there.

...

re-equipped my pawns, entered the next area. to find dos dragons. as the crappy ranger, i had to use 3 wakestones in less'n 3 minutes (and i dont want to hear anyone say "daw, you just suck." i am lvl 199. granted, the bow i had was enchanted and apparently magick itself is useful against dragons but a magick weapon (excluding staves) - they are impervious to.

i applaud capcom for making a challenging game but i mean **** (as you can tell, i never played Dark Souls, Demon Souls, wtf-ever - i refuse to, a game should not punish you for playing it)...

i cannot express how awesome this game was at first; cannot express how quickly the little inconveniences and retardations added up to make me absolutely despise this crap.

this game really had potential, and maybe im just raging because ive wasted nearly 250 hours (will have before too long) and its like i cant tell.

sigh... done.
