    Hello everyone and thanks for joining me on this new adventure! Let me know in the comments if you want a full let's play series like this, or if you'd prefer I stream it on UA-cam! Hope you enjoy this first look into the DLC. My character is strength/faith build at Lvl 162 on New Game, and we already got to a VERY difficult boss today! This is going to be amazing 😍

      Im so discouraged. yesterday, I just played and reached the third main boss in the north, analogous to base game’s leyndell. And i am so confused man. The dmg i dealt at lvl 150 in ng is as small as that i dealt against Malenia ng+7 at lvl 10, or trina torch r1 against the same at high level, or inner isshin with demon bell and no kuro charm, or reflection and ng+7 & reflection demon hatred with same burdens. Not even isshin ng+7 has such high dmg resistance. Is this normal? Like you dont see yellow color of ER enemy health diminishing (or gray in sekiro)

      @WhimsyPsyche  15 днів тому

      Have you sought out Miquella's crosses? Maybe you just need a couple of Scadutree to get a bit stronger? For me so far the damage I deal is not too bad, but the enemies hit _really_ hard though. Like, endgame ridiculously strong hard 😅

      @@WhimsyPsyche i just grabbed whatever i find on my way north. the grace says “scadutree blessing (4)”. So i think i was on 3.
      Ikr. The damage is not ng level dmg. I went to renalla to increase my vig after the boss

    I personally prefer just watching the UA-cam "Let's Play" style, so no streaming. It gives more way for your own thoughts and also gets you less distracted and you will play at your own pace without people trying to get you to go certain places or do certain things. It's just overall more "natural" feeling to me. Even if you end up missing something like an item, that's just part of the experience. And I'm sure if you miss something major people will point it out in the comments anyway.

    • @steviemcdonut
      @steviemcdonut 15 днів тому +4

      I really like this style too. Recently watched a lets play of silent hill 2, and the streamer constantly looked and interacted with chat during critical parts of the game/story. Nearly threw my phone out of the window when the streamer started talking loudly at chat over the ending letter

    27:48 I loved the musical number! I just imagine every boss hearing that when you come back to fight them again. "Two tarnished girls come up through the fog gate, through the fog gate, through the fog gate! *waaaa et-et arrrrrr* Guess who's back, back again? Whimsy's back, to kill the boss! Guess who's back guess who's back guess who's back! *bwa na-na na na*"
    I like the name "big fire boy fight" cuz that's also what i referred to that thing as without knowing anything else. 😆
    I like hearing from Editing Whimsy, I hope she's doing well!
    Looking forward to the next part of Goose- er I mean WhimsyDrowStarion 👍

    I'm also on team let's play. I want to hear more of your thoughts on lore and story and feel that is best done when you can record focus a little more than with streaming. This DLC has been so hard but so fun. I went through main game with INT/DEX and decided to switch it up for the DLC to DEX/Faith focusing on blood loss and it's been great even if a challenge! Excited to see you play through it too Whimsy

I prefer them over live streaming because I often have a busy schedule, and I don't want to miss any of your content. 😭 But honestly, it's completely up to you. ❤️ I can only imagine how tiring it is to talk to a camera for us and receiving no response in return. 😭

  • @martinkasprzik5069
    @martinkasprzik5069 15 днів тому +1

    I would prefer streaming for more interaction and small talk, if there are rules/moderators that keep chat under control if needed :) but only because you are not one to get distracted by chat or let chat control anything. I am fine with a let‘s play too though.

    Streaming is hella Distracting and difficult to even Play to the same level .
    Also , you only get to experience this for the first time once.
    So I want a live stream, But........
    I logically think videos Will.

    I don't think I ever saw you stream anything, although I did attend a few live premieres. I feel like if you streamed a game without spending 15 minutes theorizing on every bit of lore you can find, it wouldn't really be a Whimsy video. At this point, it's as much part of your brand as "How dare?" and "What do you mean?". 😄

    The performance is terrible on PS5, even on performance mode, and I really hope they try fixing it. I don't want to have to go back to the PS4 version. I'm used to issues in the open world but boss fights shouldn't have frame dips, ever.

    The DLC is amazing and so is the world design, but the bosses are overtuned. They simply deal too much damage. The dlc is at a 60% on steam right now.. I am guessing they will make a balancing patch to the dlc. I think it needs one. Some of the bosses have very fast combos and just 2 shot you you within 0.5 sec. It feels honestly to the point where its unfair. I had to summon my mimic. The scadutree fragments do very little. 5% per level.
