    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I was just saying in general, granted I bought mine largely to play FF7R, but mostly because I started looking into buying one and lucked out getting one and so I did, literally haven't turned it on in over a year as a result though. I do want to play Demon Souls, but it's expensive as fuck and...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Do you mean the catacombs inside the sewers? Notably the boss drops the blood dmg talisman, 20% dmg for 20secs when something bleeds(you or an enemy), it's really strong for meta bleed builds, you can proc it on yourself with sepukku even for immune to bleed bosses, and anything not immune means...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    There's a few places you can use that are pretty good, for a "quick" 50k I usually do the big dragon in drabonbarrow, you go to fort faroth and just attack the tail with a bleed weapon, can be done at lvl 1 with an uchigatana from the catacombs in limgrave or reduvia if you have arcane or...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah there's no actual explanation for the result but that's the most likely answer, seeing as how that's the usual Souls quest resolution. Character is looking for something, you help them find the thing, they die. This is 80% of the Souls questlines. Spoiler quest stuff

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    You can find them a lot easier nowadays, although you still have to look for them. Stuff like Discord that monitor availability and shit makes it pretty easy. I bought 2 last year(one for me and one for my nephew) and while it took a few weeks to get them it wasn't all that bad. With the release...

    In the ruins around the towers there's a secret room you can enter that has Seluvis puppets. This is where you go to continue Seluvis questline to the end, as well as Selen's questline.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    My assumption is some things will carry over, and a new player will get a basic level of stuff where you can get the stuff that carries over/better stuff after playing a little while, so people have only a small advantage if they cleared stuff in the first game. It'd be dumb for them to give you...

    Finally. Took them way too long, gonna be rough to come after Elden Ring. Although I guess on the flipside they can probably take some inspiration from various things in ER to make the game better too. They just need to nail the combat feel of the original to have something very interesting and...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    This looks nice, while I loved the personality of each char in Vermintide, letting people customize their chars a bit more seems interesting, and they can still keep the whole personality thing going with voices. https://www.playdarktide.com/news/dev-blog-character-customization/ I think this...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah with summons it's not as bad and if you have high dmg enough to kill the first before second gets there it's even pretty easy, on my dagger run though I had neither and it was truly fucking painful, it's not even that "hard", it's just they're constantly vomitting poison shit everywhere and...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I'd say average if you cleared everything. A lot of the achievements are killing bosses, and as long as you clear "everything", you'll get most or all of these(notable exception would be the Fia quest boss which is missable). There's only a handful of achievements that aren't killing bosses...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Unless they want to make full realism and actually make atmosphere entry a thing that requires specific gameplay, it is a pretty pointless feature yeah. Just means it takes longer to get to where you want to be. Most of these games don't care about your angle of entry, velocity, air resistance...

    There's multiple great spears you can get early on especially for faith build, not so many normal spears though they're mostly dropped which sucks. For heavy spears, there's the Lance one which is in limgrave on a corpe on top of a building right next to where the knight that drops Golden Vow...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Ghost Mohg was a lot easier than I thought it'd be. You get the shackles in the sewers before him, and you can stun him twice with it, so the fight is actually pretty short and you just massacre him, and he doesn't do phase 2 mohg moveset shit, so it's actually pretty easy. He hit me with a...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    You can use blood ashes of war with occult scaling once you have the black whetblade, so if you like one(say Sepukku which tends to be the go to once you unlock it), you can still have occult. That whetblade is a bit annoying to get though since it's all the way down all these caves shit and I...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I'd say, it depends. Double blood is usually more damage, but blood/cold is more bursty especially on low hp targets. When I did my dagger run I always used a cold dagger for like trash mobs, because most of them died when both things proced at the same time after a couple of hits, while you...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I find she's a lot easier on agressive builds than on "safe" builds. She has no poise so she gets staggered by basically everything, she has relatively low hp, she often locks herself into long-ish animations. The main issue is she has very high damage output if you get hit by her stuff and her...

    The 30xx was a big jump. But yeah it's always exagerated, always have to wait for benchmarks and stuff unless you don't care about the performance/price ratio and just want the best then it's whatever. Main issue as usual is availability, shit will be unbuyable until late 2023 most likely...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Ancestor Spirit is really easy even at level, it does heal a bunch but depending on RNG you can get a lot of free hits in when it does if it doesn't teleport too far, and the base moveset otherwise is pretty weak besides the rolling attack(which once you know how to dodge is pretty simple too)...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    While the video was whatever, I do quite like what they did with the summon customization. As someone who plays summoner/necro/engineer kind of classes in all ARPGs when available, it sounds pretty good. There's only "two" summon buttons, but they're customizable to a degree that seems much more...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    What I meant specifically was at :25, they're talking about how it's "gory and unnerving" and there's a bunch of bodies strung out on the walls and ground, and they all wear convenient leather underclothes. Again understandable because of rating but "funny" nonetheless that a dozen or so of...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    It certainly looks like NMS overall. 1000 planets sounds like re-using assets and fairly generic "empty" planets just for ressource gathering and such, with only the core planets for the main quest and some sidequests being fully developped, which makes perfect sense, it'd be weird for every...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    The trailer looked ok? I don't get some of the extreme reactions here, both people thinking this looks really good and terrible. Graphics are ok, animation still look somewhat off to me not too sure why, style is fine I don't mind it, I didn't mind D3 that much either, do find funny that they...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    First off, if you thought this wasn't going to happen, you were very naive. Second, these keywords are used in plenty of games that are perfectly fine. Their "direct" competition, PoE, is all 3. Diablo 3 loosely fits all 3 boxes too. Many great games fit the boxes(for example Monster Hunter)...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    It's actually not a bad idea, you can get a dragonspell somewhat early by killing Agheel which is pretty easy if you get Reduvia or Uchigatana early on, and it's a solid seal for early game even for standard spells that weights 0 and is upgraded by somber stones. The main reason why starting...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I bought a Sony TV a couple years back to update and while it does have the Smart TV shit, it hasn't been very intrusive. I updated it when I got it and it's been offline ever since(turned off the online stuff on TV AND blocked it on the router in case it just randomly decided to connect itself...

    Vermintide 2 promo went the same way, it was all Skaven at first like Vermintide 1, until they finally revealed Chaos stuff which added a lot of variety. While it's not guaranteed, it's quite possible that they just aren't showing another entire race. Genestealers/nids would be an obvious choice...

    Street Fighter 6

    I'm not a fan of the clothes but otherwise looks nice, will be good with costumes and stuff. The Sonic Boom voice is a lot different than usual though, usually it's like Sonic BOOM and now sounds kinda casual instead which is a bit weird.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    On daggers it was pretty easy because unlike some bosses, it's so big you don't constantly miss due to it moving around slightly or whatever, and I had godskin swaddling cloth as one of my accessories, which with daggers heals a ton on this fight since it's based on number of hits and you can...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah I don't think I'm killing Malenia with this dagger build, got quite a lot better after the many hours I spent on her, but it's still really hard to punish her efficiently and she has way too much hp(between her 2 bars and her self healing). Cleared Houra Loux in like 25mins even though I...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Reduvia and an Occult Great Knife. High base dmg and high bleeding, would use 2 reduvias but they for some reason don't have a way to duplicate weapons without trading/cheats/NG+ so have to do with the next best thing. Does let me use Bloodhound step on fights where I can't get uses out of...

    I thought the capital changes only after you clear farum, not when you enter it? I haven't checked though but since they take you there after you're done that's how I assumed it worked. So you can start Farum, grab stuff like ancient smithing stones and the highest bell bearings, and then go do...

    Pants are either Battlemage or Zamor legwraps, not entirely sure since they're both bandages. Chest is actually Duellist(or Rotten Duellist), altered to remove the cloak. It's only the hand/arm snake thing as a result but provides some armor. Looks like there's gloves too but no idea which.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    NG+ usually provides a decent enough boost that the early content becomes equivalent to the end content in NG in Souls, and while it's naturally easier because of monster types(slower stuff, easier patterns, lower resists), it still feels like they're somewhat properly balanced. If you use some...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah NG+ is just very poorly balanced I think, even the late areas looked about as hard as normal more or less, maybe a bit harder but since you get so many runes just fucking around you're like lvl 200 so it's easy to not even care. But pretty much all the early game isn't boosted enough so...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Since my NG+ run was boring as fuck I restarted a fresh run as my last run, and I'm doing a dagger run so it comes full circle. To make it not too easy though I'm not using ashes/summons and I'm also sticking to areas "in order" so I don't go upgrading weaps to 24/9 before I even start playing...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    The run I did was nice with fire spells. Black Fire then Giantflame once you get it was great for bossing(slower cast than magic stuff and no spammable option, but can be charged for 15% dmg with godfrey icon and does more dmg per hit anyway, Giantflame also knocks down shit so some bosses get...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Started a NG+ run and damn NG+ is super poorly balanced, everything early game dies in like one combo. Cleared out the first 3 major bosses already in a couple of hours and working on the 4th. Had to do a few things here and there to get missing talismans and what not, fucked up Patches emote...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah that's what I thought too, unless you get a really good player, quite often players were worse than ashes, especially the top tier ashes. Stuff like the greatshield bois will completely trivialize any fight where the boss doesn't have strong aoes, especially in small rooms where they'll...
