But if you're level 60 and your gear is 55, you're grand?
Not exactly. Basically, there are two variables:
1) The gear level (which affect damage and armour)
2) The perk tier level (which affect your perk stats). The game is calculating both of these things together to work out your avergae damage output.
Every time you level up and don't upgrade your gear your damage and armour is unequal to what it should be but it doesn't become a problem until every 11 levels because that's when the tier engravings levels kick in. Therefore, if you have two level 60 characters, one wearing level 55 gear and one wearing level 60 gear and they hit 61 both are grand.
The moment they both hit 61 the level 55 gear person will start to feel a little bit of a difference being now 6 gear levels under AND being 1 perk tier under... but still viable. So if the level 55 gear person has crit chance perks their crit chance will be lower than what they've got stacked. The level 60 gear person won't feel a thing because it's only 1 level even if they are one perk tier under what they should be.
However, once they both hit 66 the game will become difficult for the level 55 gear person who, in addition to being 1 tier perk under what they should be, is now 11 gear levels under - and 11 is how often the tier perk upgrades kick in. Therefore, they don't have the damage and armour to allow for a tier perk to be skipped anymore.
Hope that made sense. It's complicated to explain.0 -

Yeah, makes perfect sense alright.
Now I know why I didn't encounter being under-leved like you say, as I never let the gear get more than 5-6 levels behind before switching to something "a little worse" but better level, or upgrading it at the blacksmith 0 -

Just to mix up opinions :P
AC Odyssey was my GOTY last year
Same. I found Odyssey way more enjoyable but that's because tonally it's more of my thing. Even tough technically GOW is more polished and innovative.0 -

Odyssey is nearly it's own type of game. They made a fantastic choice by allowing you to climb nearly everything (only thing I couldn't climb were trees, but some of them can still be used for the branches). It's a light RPG with some choices which can affect the end-game and some other aspects throughout, but never a major thing you need to worry about.
The combat is the best in the series imo, and you have a large variety of moves to utilise. So much, that you can't have everything on the 1 build, but it's easy to re-spec if needed, but the armor options can make this unnecessary.
The story I really enjoyed, but some people may not like it. I will 100% be picking up the Season Pass at some stage, and I don't do that for just any game, and don't think I've ever done it outside of CoD.
Either way, I highly recommend it. It looks amazing, and is huge and full of fun!
Dark souls is fun. Your just bad at the game. Get gud0 -

Ah, you're stalking me. Cool, never had a stalker before! Don't check on me once the lights get dimmed, no one wants to see that...
I don't care about the 'Git gud' stuff, I don't have time to dedicate to playing the same level/boss over and over (and over and over.....) until I get it right, so the game is bad to me. Just like some people saying Odyssey is bad, but I think it's one of the best games of recent time.
Depends on what you want in a game, some people prefer Forza to Forza Horizon, and vice versa. I prefer challenging but not hard games (God of War, even on GMGOW). Dark Souls is just hard, frustrating and requires you to die over and over to learn patterns. I've no issue learning patterns, but I shouldn't need to die/repeat so often to do it. So the comeback to that is ALWAYS 'Git gud' as if that's a a valid argument. I may still get involved in these discussions, but I actually don't care in the end. Usually just bored at work, and hate the 'git gud' argument, because it's not one.0 -

As annoying as it may be, its actually fairly accurate. You need to learn how the game operates, once you do, you will die a lot less. You don't need to always die to progress, its rare you would actually come across a boss that would take ages in those games, its not uncommon to 1 or 2 shot a boss. You need to "git gud" at the game in order to beat it.
As opposed to the likes of the AC games, where you can stay terrible at the game forever and still finish it. They require next to no effort to progress through other than completing the same mundane quests/tasks over and over.
The only thing Odyssey added this time around that was different and actually added a bit of excitement to the game play, was the hunting of the wild legendary animals. Probably because the fights mirror dark souls like gameplay :pac:
But yeah the reason you keep getting hit with the same pig ignorant "git gud" comments is likely because of how you keep throwing the same pig ignorant comments of those games out there
And eh, not a stalker, just read this forum a lot, which you happen to post in a lot 0 -

I'd agree with Potential Monke tbh. I've never had any affinity for the Soulsborne games (only played Bloodborne to be fair). I enjoyed Bloodborne a lot, but it never really hooked me. I learned how the game operated, got reasonably good at it etc. Just didn't tickle my fancy.
AC Odyssey though had me hooked and engaged from the start. Some games, I play for the challenge. What I enjoyed about Odyssey though was that while some enemies, bosses etc were a huge challenge, a lot of the game you can crush wave after wave of enemies and feel like a total god. That can be just as enjoyable as a challenging game. Even though it requires much less skill and effort, you can still greatly enjoy it.
Some games can be fun, some can be challenging, some can be both. Some might not find the challenge of Dark Souls to be fun. Some might not find the fun of Odyssey challenging enough.0 -

And ive no problem with that and agree with the majority of what you said haha, Mr Monke on the other hand didnt bother learning them and hated them because they were too hard, and he calls them bad games as a result. Which just blows my mind

It's called personal preference. I think die/repeat games are bad because they take too much effort. Just like I think modern music is bad because, well, it is. But there are some crazy people out there that think that Old Town Road horse song is brilliant, they're wrong, imo, but also fact.
Maybe I'm not using emojis enough to have the tongue in cheek aspect picked up on. It's just an opinion, but it's the right opinion. Ironing.0 -

I kinda want to finish all the additional stuff in one go
Think there's one more episode in this DLC (two DLCs with three episodes each for six total, so five have been released). After that I think all the main things are released.0 -
