The Asmongold Affect

[Adam__86]

After watching Asmongold attempt playing I can only assume the people having issues are people that play like him aka rushing, paying zero attention and ignoring common sense which honestly is a symptom of only playing one game for years. I honestly think that is the real issue because the game gives you the tools for parry/dodge. Story Mode, Dodge over Parry, Mods, etc

Yea, people feel shame about enjoy the game with story mode and get ruined by parry, dodge timing. It's not wrong to play on lowest difficult and enjoy the story.

I mean he's enjoying the game tho, so he's not really "having issues" playing it the way he wants, here.

You lost me at "After watching Asmongold..." Dude doesn't actually know how to play games, he just repeats what others do.

I only ever hear of that guy on reddit, so ... is his playstyle and opinion important?

There are objective issues with key binds, keys not reacting, dodge-parry-timing etc. But that doesn't mean that the game is bad or that some random dude playing it "wrong" proves anything. It just means that a 30-people dev team didn't have the ability to betatest all the options and configurations their eventual players have on their computers.

asmongold is a character. taking him seriously in any capacity is on you.

his community on the other hand, dear lord. probably the worst community in gaming, imo. if he (clearly joking/ironically) says something like "wow, bad game" after getting mollywopped by a boss, his community will now adopt that statement as their new religion, take to the forums of the game, that they havent bought or played, and screaming at the top of their lungs "WOW, BAD GAME!". then proceed to go door to door asking "have you heard about our lord and savior, Asmonbald?"

If keys are not working for you, try lowering the graphics settings. I did notice that lag is causing input delay and reducing the graphics fixed this.

Is this a recent stream?
Because I watched him play Act 1 so far and his parry game is perfect which is surprising for someone with a fried brain like his. Actually one of his better playthroughs so far.

Only thing I have zero trust with ANY streamers with this game is whether they stick to Expert because you can change difficulty off stream at any point easily (which sucks IMO, game should have locked difficulty).

I don't think most streamers play on hard anyway, as this would not be interesting for viewers to see them having to repear too many fights hard fights. IIRC, Asmongold does not play on hard either.
And I agree with their choice of not locking difficulty in this game precisely.

Should be effect. Your mispelling affects your post's readability to humorous effect.

You know what else Asmon is known for? Need I spell it out for you? Yep, you guessed it, his trash spelling ability.

You must be related or something.

It was just a matter of time before someone took the shot, so it may as well be me.

In Act 1 he missed multiple items in the tutorial, wasn't using his healing (because he ignored the message about Q), kept dying because he refused to dodge to learn the animation to parry, didn't use items to res, didn't read that you need to aim to kill flying enemies, immediately forgot other characters could shoot despite literally doing just that moments ago, ignoring weak points randomly and repeating the same

Whether his incompetence is intentionally, I feel like the people having difficulty are people playing like this

[Solar_S]

Is that the talking head that reviews youtube videos with pauses every now and then to say "yep he's got a point"?

Games like this should be experienced alone, it's art. Better leave session-based trash to this kind of content creators. They can only ruin the vibe, like an ape in a museum.

Reddit is that way >

Incorrect wordage is not the same as misspelling. Also what is with the attitude? You also misspelled misspelling
