Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9622715" data-attributes="member: 18">I dunno man, for me I feel like it's more practice than anything else.Like, I've been expecting to get "bad reflexes" at any moment for over 15 years at this point. I've been seeing people since even their late 20s bemoan how their reflexes have gone to hell compared to when they were a teen, but what's weird is, mine seem to have got better? And now I'm 47. And I can't see any way to account for that except practice and pushing myself. I also definitely think much faster on my feet at 47 than I did at, say, 25, and I'm a lot less prone to panic. That latter is definitely self-training because I even know how I trained it - playing Dead Space on maximum difficulty armed only with the plasma cutter (which, to be clear - is an extremely good weapon), and just being completely methodical about, because the first time I played it (on a normal rather than the hardest, and I didn't even get halfway through), it scared me half to death! And I was like, nah, I'm done with that, no more fear, just plasma cutting. It took some real focus but I was able to do it, and enjoyed it.Elden Ring makes this particularly obvious, because I'm instinctively doing stuff which when I started playing, I would never have done, and avoiding attacks I could never have avoided just with "fast reflexes" alone. Doesn't mean I don't still die a lot of course! It's still Elden Ring!I guess I should buy Sekiro at some point and put my money where my mouth is, because that requires extremely fast and reliable parrying, which definite wouldn't be possible with bad reflexes.Vanguard is a very different playstyle. Shotgun Inf is like, fast and methodical, you've got to be able to think on your feet and use the right tool for the job, whereas Vanguard is more relentless aggression combined with correct Charge timing. Sniper Inf is also very viscerally "statisfying" though, that's for sure.That is extremely good to hear, man I miss Tenchu! I tend to avoid AC games at full price, but definitely going to keep an eye on Shadows.I think a lot of people found a class they really enjoyed in ME2/3 and didn't really play the others. Personally I didn't try the others until I'd played a ton of the co-op multiplayer in ME3, which made me learn the other classes/abilities to a significant extent.</blockquote>
