I’d guess I play more fighting games than the average gamer. I'm no master at any one but I really enjoy them (I've at least been able to beat some KOF and Samurai Shodown bosses on normal difficulty, so not too bad!). But the final fight in my first foray into DNF Duel's arcade mode infuriated me, taking nearly 30 minutes worth of retries and almost giving up!

Using Dragon Knight, I eventually realised that Lost Warrior, at least, is not so great at defending against her Knuckle Blaster move. I sure spammed it when it felt right, but it’s not foolproof. So I tried to mix that up with Biting Dragon and tried to trip him up with low attacks. Took a chance with some combo moves too. The first round went well, the next two…well, I got the job done at least!

Granted, I barely touched the tutorial to get a grasp of this fighter's unique systems. Normally I would jump right into - and complete - this mode first in any other fighter. But still, playing on the easiest difficulty (“Normal”), I never thought I'd be in for such a nightmare with some really intense and aggressive CPUs. Also, I felt it while fighting other characters and especially against Lost Warrior here, but the CPU really feels like it's reading your attack inputs due to the sheer amount of successful standing and crouching guarding (and how quickly they swap between the two) they perform. That’s been frustrating.

Having said all that, it doesn’t really spoil the fun either - it’s heaps of fun and feels fresh. And after spending some more time with the tutorials, I feel “somewhat” improved!

DFO

I love DFO. I love it a lot. It's one of my favorite games. I love how as you complete story quests, and talk to those same NPC's for more story quests they'll mention the things you've done in the past. I love how you don't need to use a mouse for most of the game, a feature which is not shared by a good deal of other Nexon games. I love how it's totally free. I don't love how bad the connection can be at times, but you know it's a trade off.

Recently they finally implemented the Thief class. I'm stoked. I've been wanting to play as a thief since I first heard about them a year ago, back when the Priest Patch was still a big deal. Anyway, I've only played through most of the Grand Folores missions with my thief, and haven't gotten much of a chance to try out all of her abilities yet. Right now the only skills that seem worth using are "Dark Soul" and "Flame Slice". Dark Soul is a ranged ability that murders everything. Flame Slice is a melee ability that murders everything. I don't see any reason to use any other abilities. I do like the Shadow Slice ability, but it's main draw is the flashstep behind the enemy. But the flashstep doesn't work if it oneshots the target, which it frequently does.

The greatest draw of the thief is she is fucking fast. She runs at normal speed just a bit slower than my female gunner does with a haste fairy. Haste fairies are about as plentiful as air in this game, and I frequently grab them with my thief, which is just plain unfair. You don't even know.

While I was playing I realized something. Almost all the quests boil down to "Murder everything you see. When you've done this, I'll give you a piece of equipment that will help you murder everything you see more efficiently." Now, that's a fairly standard MMO thing, so it's not just DFO that does it. Even so, what if I don't want to transform myself into a murder machine? What if I wanted to be a baker? The game is all, "Sucks to be you. Now. Murder time!" Mabonogi, another Nexon game actually lets you go and choose a non-murder machine way of life.

Anyway. I'm having fun. You should give it a shot if murdering everything you see seems like your sorta thing. Because there's a lot of murdering to be done. If you're already playing, you should send me a message and we can totes go be murder machines together.
