I could be misinformed, but I thought desktops were more comfortable to use when sitting at a desk, easier to replace parts if something breaks, last longer, and cost less for similar specced laptops? We already have some tablets and chrome books if we want to sit on the couch and surf or whatever.

I need help buying a desktop. I haven't owned one in over 10 years. I do all my gaming on consoles these days (I'm old and the couch is more comfortable), so we don't really need to spend extra money on something higher end. If it's fast and reliable for creating things on Microsoft Office...

Modern version of Chrono Trigger style gameplay/music/graphics? Yes please!

You should have headphone audio. Might be a silly comment, but have you tried using canned air or blowing really hard around the base of the controller stick as you rotate it around? Mine did the same thing, but if you try the air truck it might save you from buying a new controller. It did for me.

Caiatl down! For whatever reason I couldn’t get any dps going on her with fusion grenades, whitherhoard, and starfire protocol. Dunno if I was too far from the bell for the dps buff or what. Switched to Lament and we were golden. Never been so relieved to get through an encounter.

Haha nope! I duo all the dungeons with my brother and we’ve only had a couple hours this last week to try it after our wives/kids are in bed. We finally both unlocked classy restoration, which helps a ton, but the dps window is so tight we just haven’t gotten it down quite yet. This fight has...

Duality Caiatl sucks. Is there a way to know which bell she will run to first? I just can’t get a consistent dps phase on her.

Does NG+ reveal more story tidbits or do you just mean seeing the exact same dialogue and whatnot a second time will make it easier to follow?

133 hours later I finally beat the game. Have a few bosses and items I missed, but not bad for a first play through. Is it just me or was the story a bit confusing? Half the time I didn’t know why I was killing a boss or what their real significance was other than collecting great runes (which...

This is me exactly except I’m 163 with 50 vigor. Guess I need to get good. Edit: success!! Finally got it done. Got close enough to EB that he mostly did his melee swipe which was easy to dodge. He hardly did any of his long range attacks or swimming away. Tiche was rock solid as always.

I’m a dex/arcane build. I’ve been dual wielding katanas for most of the game (RoB and Moonveil currently) and rolling everywhere to dodge. I’m stuck on Elden Beast. Should I swap out the moonveil for a shield or is that kind of pointless in the EB fight?

Thanks. Went and got the +2 holy talisman and will try that.

So what’s the trick for Elden beast? I’ve played the whole game offline but finally went online for this fight since I can’t even hardly damage the big guy. Still can’t get him even close to dead with help.

Victory! For some reason Tiche was extra on point and kept knocking Malenia down or shooting her with that life drain attack. I mostly just had to dodge and stay out of the way for most of phase 2. It was so weird since the other 40 or so attempts at phase 2 Tiche would mostly just blink...

Thanks, and yeah her dive bomb isn't the problem. I run under that. It's all her other phase 2 moves that completely wreck me.

Any fucking tips for Malenia? I've been trying this bitch for hours. I can get to phase 2 pretty consistently now, but she completely destroys my shit. I'm running the heaviest gear I can use with decent immunity stat and poise while not fat rolling. Rivers of blood+10 and Moonveil+9 and...

I'm finally getting to snowfield and heligtree or whatever it's called. This is the first time in my 120 hours that I'm starting to feel like the enemies are getting cheap. Massive hp pools, bunch of stuff almost one-shots me even though I am, what I thought was over leveled ,at 135. Still one...

My uchigatana is keen, but that advice doesn’t really help me. Changing ashes of war doesn’t alter the required attributes to wield it effectively. If everything decent I’m finding has str or int requirements I can’t use it no matter which ash I try, keen or otherwise.

I don’t know if I’m doing this wrong or what. I’m primarily a dex build with a little faith for heals. I looked up dex weapons since I’ve been using this uchigatana forever (it’s at +12 now and I’m level 61). Moonveil katana popped up as a recommended dex weapon. I go get it snd it’s dex/int and...

My build is a mess (started confessor and have mostly put points into dex with some vigor/endurance and a few here and there in str and faith). Around level 42 now. I’ve been using the uchigatana +7 for a while. What would be the next logical weapon upgrade to go hunt down? I just came across...

I think your bundle is probably just great. I assume you mean the pulse 3D headset and the official Sony charger? I have both and love them. Worth every penny. So nice to always have a charged controller and the headset sounds great. It’s perfectly comfortable for gaming or movies. And good...

Exactly my feelings. Forget the overcomplicated crap. I have no desire to do this raid. Give me rockets mcdickfce encounters any day over what that was today.

Is the flail better than the confessor starting sword? Maybe I’m reading the stats wrong or misunderstand them but the sword is something like 117 + 17 and the flail is 99 +24. doesnt that make the sword quite a bit better? I’m at 18 dex and have put my other points into health, stamina, and...

Seems like all the fixed chests in the opening area are strength based weapons, at least that I've come across so far and it sucks as a dex/faith build!

Are there Ashes of War descriptions anywhere in game or do you just need to look them up online to see what they do? I got determination and had no idea what it was doing ( it was buffing my next attack) until I looked it up. I still don't get if it's, for example, a set 5 attack per buff...

Is there a way to level up your ashes summons? The one you get for free right at the start is super strong compared to the two I’ve found in dungeons since then. Not sure why. Do the ashes scale off your stats somehow?

Completely agree. Makes it better than BoTW so far for me. I don’t have to worry about ruining a weapon I can just have fun using it.

I don’t know anything about this since I’m on ps5, but looks like it might fix a bunch of the pc issues? https://steamcommunity.com/app/1245620/discussions/0/3183486320471191732/

No complaints on ps5 so far. Gorgeous, smooth, and responsive. Question though: I set the game to launch in offline mode, but I see bloodstains, messages, and ghosts running around everywhere. Can I not disable all that junk? I want a clean looking single player experience.

What class are you all starting as? I was set on astrologist but then I listened to a spoiler free review from Fightincowboy today and he talked about spells being really uneven. Some are great but a lot were meh and that they were really hard to use if close range, which is a lot of fights...

Is it? Mine isn’t downloading and I have the box checked to preload ER when available.

Wouldn’t cordless be way more expensive and potentially force them to go slightly lower on specs due to any wireless data or power consumption limitations?

Same here. Between this and Elden Ring it feels like the best gaming week since maybe BoTW release. I did see in the patch notes though that Protective Light is getting a major nerf (from 50% DR to 10%) and with orbs only generating if you put in the matching element helmet mod, its even more...

Man, I was so good about going in blind and then today's launch trailer dropped. I wasn't expecting a bunch in it other than to hype up release so I watched it. They showed a bunch of what i would assume are spoilers. Crap. Throwing my phone away until Friday now.

Same and can’t wait! This is the most excited I’ve been for a game in a very long time.

Offline here too. I don’t like the bloodstain spam everywhere and the constant threat of invasion ruins my fun. Especially with ER being open world I don’t want to be afraid to go explore.

Weapons are finally getting numbers next to the bars for stats, so no more needs to look things up online to see true numbers. Also exotic primaries are getting a 40% damage buff. Yum

PSVR2 compatible now maybe? That would be fun

One of the articles that came out this last week touched on that. The main game is about 30 hours, but the areas are huge because the game has a shit load of optional side content you can discover. Think of it kind of like BoTW. Sure you can beat the game in like 10 hours or whatever, but there...

Nice. I almost logged in when his stream started, just to see myself on a stream for once, but figured I'd probably mess something up or embarrass myself so I stayed offline and just watched.
