As the meme implies, stop and think about how to change tactics.
Uhhh no? Especially if your playing a game that your suppose to try multiple times like hades.
I guess it depends on the game but imo the best boss fights are puzzles (god of war style) where you don’t change tactics, you keep playing until you figure out the puzzle.
Idk if I call that changing tactic, I just keep trying until I figure it out.
Agreed, but adjusting tactics often is part of the puzzle, no? You need to solve the puzzle (find out what work = changing tactics) and then executing that solution
If you never consider more than one possible tactic, then by definition you’re not solving a puzzle, you’re just executing a fixed series of instructions.
You give Hades as an example of a game where you’re doing the same thing every run, but on the contrary the game is specifically designed so that no two runs are alike. It’s trying its best to force you to change tactics each run, that’s the point.
I spent 172 hours retrying the final boss fight on ff8. I mistakenly saved just before the end boss with 2 phoenix downs, a handful or potions and ethers, and not much else. It took weeks to beat her alone.
I learned many things in those multiple weeks of doing basically the same thing over and over again, with minor tweaks to strategy… the first of which is always maintain a second save at least 3 hours prior to the current save. The second thing was never have an empty inventory even if you legit never bother using any of it. Don’t sell anything until you hit max stax.
And finally I learned that sometimes trying the same exact thing for the 20th time actually does work for reasons. And that was on like ps1 framework. A lot more stuff is a lot more random now.
A good portion of my failures in boss fights are due to getting the boss low and thinking, “I can just spam attack until he’s dead now” and then getting caught by attacks I was avoiding prior to that.
And a decent portion of the ones left after eliminating those ones are due to not being used to the attacks enough to avoid them consistently.
It took quite a while in Dark Souls 3 before I conceded that I should actually level up my VIT so the Abyss Watchers didn’t just one-shot me every time.
Not sure if they are on sale or not but a few staple RTS games that are definitely worth checking out imo:
Command and Conquer series
Age of Empires specifically 2 and 4
Supreme Commander (with the Forged Alliance expansion)
Probably way more, RTS isn’t a major staple of what I play but these titles are pretty diverse and will give a good taste of some of the genres best IMO. Of course Starcraft as well but I don’t think that’s on steam.
