Yeah for me it probably helps that I have nothing else I want to play. Don't get me wrong, I like the game and am enjoying myself but I can see already the grind ahead and I dont know if ill be in it for the long haul. Maybe I'm just not that good but I dont know how many times I want to play the same areas in order to level up and be able to beat the boss.I was wondering why I have been obsessed myself. Granted, im on medical leave, but this game has made me sink hours into it.
The leveling up is the most important and it can be done at any time. In the beginning I thought it wasnt doing shit, like I feel now with the garments I find all the time, but when I go farm blood viles/quicksilver, earlier folks arent a problem any more.
The other reason is what I mentioned before about dying being my fault. It is, but its a commitment issue. The game typically commits to what button you press. Fuck that, I want to change my mind constantly. However, those are the rules. In my last boss fight, for example, I got knocked down, hit an attack button, and as my character was slowly getting up, I knew attacking was no longer an option, because I got knocked down. My guy gets up and swings the fucking blade, while my controller lies idle. Granted, I absolutely was mashing the dash button, but NOOOOO NO NO, UH UH, we gotta attack cuz i fucking said so 10 sec ago.
And yes, you have to surrender yourself to the controls and combat. My natural reaction when I get in trouble is to button mash the attack button and that's the last thing I should be doing. This game is really putting my patience and ability to be methodical to the test.
