I liked the backstory stuff with Luke. I figured he was actually some sort of badass military guy given that he earned his way into the upload . I also like the quirky self-consistent details like the ring drives. It's small things that make it seem more plausible.

I never noticed... I do want to go back and finish off all the bits I left untouched and max my weapons. Was waiting to hear definitive DLC plans though.

They just announced the MSRP for Frosthaven will be $250. This is much higher than the estimate during the Kickstarter but lots of changes resulted in a much higher price point. Existing backers are fine, but that is a huge number for a retail boardgame...

I actually figured that was the intended way after I found it before I even went to the grand lift. I still don't have the grand lift activated...

I thought they were available to download from Board Game Geek?

"You are not prepared for what is coming!" "Okay. So if you know, could you tell us so we can GET prepared?" "Errrr -- I mean I guess I could have tried that first...."

Good lord the multiplayer is needlessly obtuse. What's fun, however, is watching my friend the self-proclaimed souls god get his ass owned repeatedly by trivial bosses and declaring the area is too hard for us. Him: "This area is just too hard for us" Me: "What are your stats at? What are...

No. The Elden Ring story that YOU have created in your mind based on the various bits and bobs that have been handed to you may be good, but that's the same sort of story someone creates based on the bio blurb on the back of a G.I. Joe figure... This is just some JJ Abrams mystery-box bullshit...

HFW is a much better overall entertainment product. The synergy of combat and crafting, the overall flow of battle, the epic story and quest design etc. Elden Ring is a game about edging. It punches you in the dick over and over and then doles out a bit of endorphins before slamming another...

I've been using the Page summon which is fairly beefy and the now shots taunt fairly well against many bosses. Since she's ranged I can plonk her down somewhere in an open clearing and then when she pulls aggro I can lob rocks at the boss until he notices me again.

I have a ton of spells that are just ... terrible. I keep trying to figure out in exactly what scenario some of these would even be viable. I just got the big hammer and the lobbed grenade today and both are just as bad as everything else. Did they think this through?

This is my first 'souls game' so I have no direct comparison, but the buddy of mine who compelled me to get the game finally installed it himself yesterday and is extremely disappointed by how they "ruined it". His specific comments include : Unrealistic movement especially including jumping...

Watched the start on a lark as a post-movie palette cleanser. (The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre is garbage) Everyone was instantly intrigued by this dark comedy. The way it has been filmed with plenty of lingering shots of abstract symmetry is just calming while also creepy as fuck.

The touch with Q noting how old Picard had gotten and then 'catching up' was cute. With that said I have no idea where they are going with all this. Seeing Rios as captain of the Stargazer was cool though.

I used a mausoleum to get both items from Rennala. It may not be efficient, but I enjoy the Lunar spell sooo much.

Clearly you are having a different experience with coop pool signs... I dropped mine a few times (while on a work call for example) and get maybe one invite every 20 mins. The 'notes' would be a lot more helpful had the UX been slightly less awful. The default view for the middle pane in the...

So I finally learned (thanks to this thread) that I needed to 'activate' Godrick's Rune and that was possibly the most underwhelming thing I've seen in a game ever. It adds zero stats when equipped, despite the in-game text suggesting otherwise, and only does something if you use a Ring Arc...

and here I thought it seemed like he had slowed down from his typical ludicrous pace. He didn't, he just did it in secret.

I held onto almost all of my weapons and armor this time as there was quite a lot of differentiation in overall type / locked in perks. In the first game there were definitive 'this is the best' items for the different slots but that doesn't seem to be the case this time. My...

I hate this game so fucking much.

The 'my two dads' energy was palpable...

Yeah I was feeling pretty salty in the magic-junkie zombie part of Raya Lucaria, but then I fought the dog and straight up Armageddon'd the thing into the ground. Its still annoying when the balls are forming and one hits a twig and pops, but creative LOS jockeying can help with that.

It was to a cave inside a poison swamp and since I had read above about the meteorite staff after I cleared it and got a grace I went out and nabbed the staff as well. Still think the spells I'm using are garbage however.

So I finished the main plot and did all the side quests but obviously missed some things like Cauldrons etc. I am, however, no where near maxed on my weapons and don't even know where the heck to find some of the materials I still need. I read that they do have DLC plans based on a shop-leak...

There seems to be lots of opportunity in misfortune. I got teleported by a trap that sent me far away, but conveniently to a place which is an excellent exp farm for a mage. I keep dumping points into int since 'glass cannon' seems to be all I'm good at, though all the spells I've found are...

Where is the 'Path of Grace's pointing to after Castleeward Tunnel? I feel like I'm missing something

I hate this game Why can't I stop playing it??

Finished the game today and haven't had this feeling in a long long time. I bought a PS5 specifically to play this. I will buy a PS6 to play the next one. MasterCraft of story, gameplay and visuals.

I have actually done exactly this. I'm level 31 now and have 19 unspent skill points while I bang out remaining level 19 quests

I continue to outlevel content... I sort of wish I could just pause EXP gain for a bit. Anywho I am now solidly in that sweet 'I just enjoy living in this world' phase where there's a bunch of sidequests and points of interest to explore and I can amuse myself for an hour just doing a bit of...

They actually instituted a 'load screen confirmation' for Horizon: Forbidden West because it loads so fast when fast-travelling that you wouldn't be able to even read the load-screen hint most of the time. Its freakish.

As someone who lacks the sort of situational awareness necessary to use traps and trips I feel your pain. I haven't put a single skill point into the Trap tree (or machine tree for that matter) because of this. Also means I don't bother with food since I can't bring myself to use it with a 3...

As a non-Soulsian person I find the whole 'multiplayer' business with invading and inviting and all that to be quite off-putting. Is it actually fundamentally different than "join friend"? The whole thing feels anachronistic.

The dyebeard season long running gag turning into a heart-punch moment was *chefs kiss*.

I am definitely out leveling content so it's good that I'm playing it on hard (very hard makes things just annoyingly bullet sponge). I'm 27 but doing level 19 quests because I'm chasing the plotlines (and skill points) I'm definitely behind on leveling up my weapons though owing to needing...

Soooo apparently I'm playing "Mass Effect" at this point and this makes me very happy. Guerilla done out-Biowared Bioware

I have issues with the Sky Clan and their lack of anything resembling winter weather gear... Motherfuckers are nearly barefoot and shirtless wandering out in a goddamn blizzard.

I am a bit annoyed at how often I seem to need to plug my PS5 controller back in to get more juice. I thought it was because I was using headphones plugged into the controller, but now I'm just playing the sound through the normal speakers and its still running low after only a few hours.

This. I was happily questing along and doing my own thing having figured out exactly what the plot was --- and then the record scratch hit.
