    I actually like the changes to his punish windows. It compensates for his massive poise and allows you to stagger him more often. It also makes using colossal weapons actually viable. That being said, I like that he still has fast recovery on some attacks, since it still keeps the fight fairly quick paced despite being noticably slowed down. Also you can fight him up front now, which is way more fun and engaging than hugging his right leg under constant threat of the double slash

      Nah, man. I get the nerfs to some of his hitboxes, doubleslash and light effects. All good changes. But his windows were enough to comfortably beat him with collossals. I've beat him a few times with a greatsword and fire knight sword and both these fights were fine, you just couldn't spam lion's claw like a morron.

      @@qzemii3653 My point is that you'd get considerably less safe windows when compared to lighter weapons. Therefore, it felt less viable. Like before the patch, poise breaking Radahn was so rare if you use colossal sword. So I think in that regard he's better balanced now.

      I think this feels mostly like a fix for me instead of nerf
      He was already my favorite boss
      But he had issues
      This boss is a endurance test but he used to have a bs attack that was near impossible to avoid unless you played entirely around it by missing attack opportunities and sticking to his left side which was boring for me so I usually just took the hit
      He also had some attacks that unless using a dagger you could not punish which was also weird for a fight that had so much hp
      The only moves I would say were nerfed was the nuke in phase 2 and blood slash(the jump clone was also changed but imo the change is neither good or bad just neutral I enjoyed both variants)
      The nuke is so much more fun now since you can now run in for a punish whcih makes the lazers feel a lot more fun to deal with and makes the attack now just a time waster like malenia aoenia
      Blood slash imo was a massive downgrade since it now doesn't go into the combos so it feels more like a mohg reference than a cool move
      Overall imo this was a great fix that while it does lower the challenge trust me the boss is still insanely tough and it just makes the fight more fun overall and feel more like a back and forth
      We lost 1 10/10 move in blood slash sure but we also made 1 dogshit move and 1 iffy move awesome so imo it was a worthy change
      Overall he is now gone from my possible favorite even if super flawed to my definite favorite and a flawless masterpiece of a boss now

    Haven't fought him post-patch yet but I'm really hoping the performance was touched on in this fight. His phase 2 was particularly headache inducing due to the frame drops from all the particle effects, I'd get inputs eaten and then 2 hit rollcaught because of it, led to a lot of unfair and sour deaths and it's why I've cheesed him every other run than my initial first DLC completion.

    @NeoCelestial 22 дні тому

    The one and only move that needed to be fixed was Cross Slash and even that...
    Before it was a move that encourages proper positioning instead of roll-spamming like a headless chicken.
    He didn't need any nerf to his damage nor needed slower attacks, light of Miquella didn't needed to be change; that move was a real threat before, it was actually difficult to dodge to the point that if you weren't paying attention and start running as soon as Radahn started to levitate, you'll get hit.
    Now it's absolutely trivial, dodging light of miquella is so extremely easy they might just remove that attack completely, now it doesn't encourage attention, it just leaves Radahn opened to... Literally anything.
    Changing Radahn's behavior at the start of the fight was unnecessary too, Radahn's gravity drill move was so extremely easy to dodge and it leave him wide open for you to attack him with charged attacks, summon if you will, even some fast buffs, etc.
    Well, people are going to complain about anything nonstop until they get what they want; and that's not only in soulsborne games... Vegetta Ozaru and Yajirobe also got nerfed in Sparking Zero just because of people's complains.
    Vegetta Ozaru wasn't even that hard at all, I beat him first try... My god even Margit was way harder in comparison.
    Radahn wasn't impossible before and he didn't render useless most builds like most people said, I defeated him with Fireknight Greatsword. (Took me like 90 attempts though)
    So, Shield Poking wasn't the only real way kill him, it only was the EASIEST way to kill him, and that's why people used that strat so much.
    The only real thing that needed update was the FPS issue.

    It's great that they slowed down the cross slash attack. That never felt consistent to me and now it looks way more manageable. And I didn't personally mind the visual clutter, but given how many people complained about it, I'm glad they fixed that. But I don't think the bloodflame slash nerf was all that necessary tbh.
    I do think that these changes are a net positive overall though.

  • @dakotahg98
    @dakotahg98 2 місяці тому +2

    I think overall they did a good job on the fixes, things like the cross/double slash and the nuke destroying your fps weren't great. I do feel like they went overboard a little and nerfed some things that didn't need to be changed:
    - The jump back into the air followed by the 4 time clone attack doesn't have a follow up combo anymore
    - The gravity attack no longer has a hitbox when he initially puts his swords into the ground
    - The 2 hand slash & bloodflame strike being slower with a longer opening after
    I'm not going to lose sleep over these and at the end of the day for most people this is probably good, but I loved the feeling of fighting Radahn at his peak with assistance from a god so taking away additional stuff to make it easier kind of ruins the challenging aspect for me but it is what it is, hopefully more people can enjoy the boss now!

    I see a lot of ppl complaining about the cross slash. Should not. Prepatch if you dodged once to the left it was enough to dodge both slashes. Post patch of you dont time it right, either the first or the second slash will rollcatch. I found it actually more difficult than the prepatch one

      It was way more specific than dodging to the left, it required you to keep specific positioning the entire fight. It was just a poorly designed frametrap. It used to stunlock you so they’ve actually had to nerf this move twice showing how poorly designed it was.

    Probably gonna go for pirated 1.13.2 or prenerf mods now. Moves that made you think and required precision are now kinda generic attacks, besides those things, Radahn has no vampiric or status effect immunity, so I honestly don't know how he can be considered harder than Malenia for example, cuz Malenia even requires you to learn attacks and dodge them to be effective and even shield build will struggle a bit, while Radahn with OP builds is just faceroll as well as 90% of other bosses in this new patch. Oh by the way Rellana's talisman changes.......

      This honestly shows how simplistic Radahn’s fight is (once you learn that most of his AOEs after hits can be managed by not backing away from him), the only thing he had is the extreme unbridled aggression to the point he forces players to be creative while mindful about every action they take, you’re literally fighting a freaking God and a Lord, the cross slash needed a fix, and maybe the increased recovery after Bloodflame attack, but that’s it IMO, I’m so mad seeing how hard they went with the nerf, I’ve never been this disappointed ever by From Software. It’s painful to see.

It's not exactly easy mode either, if you mess up he will severely punish you.

They did not make him easier. They did not nerf him. They FIXED him. They made an obnoxiously awful attack properly interactable, they added *three* punish opportunities to make him more interactive for players, and they reduced the comical overload of particle effects in the second phase. It's exclusively positive and it needed to happen. I beat him on three playthroughs, two on NG and one on NG+. Every time it was a miserable affair and it never felt good or rewarding to win. He was the *one and only boss* in the entire DLC that I just found to be poorly conceived in multiple different ways. Thankfully, none of that is true anymore. This is excellent news.

    Eh kinda disappointed with the nerf. . Radahn got so neutered. Couple of youtubers cry about it. Minority of players just happened to be loud enough.
    For a community that wants a "hard game" and they cry about this one. Im not even saying im the best. I think im just average. But souls games were...sure a skill issue, but id say patience Too.
    And i dont look up guides or ongbal until i beat the boss. Never once with any souls game boss did i say god damn this boss is unfair.
    I just realize that i havent learn the boss yet . I personally thought malenia was harder. Took me 3 days.
    This guy took me an hr an a half.
    Iono. All i gotta say is i thought maybe bale was a lil harder
    The cross slash....maybe, but everything else seems unecessary. Especially with how less agro he is. He seems as fast as the base game bosses now.

    En la segunda fase radanh tiene un buffo de velocidad, esto no me parece una comparación justa.
