    Barely had time to consider with Dark Souls 3 and all, but I can make that squad. Eeeenteresting.

    Dark Souls 3

    Hierarchy pending for me. I'll probably replay them all once I'm done with this one. For now, my list is the same except BB = DS2, both of which are better than pretty much any other non-Souls game. Demon's is..complicated. Ranking them based on how much I enjoyed them at the time, it's #1...

    Dark Souls 3

    Yes. edit: Well, I dunno. DS2 will certainly be less enjoyable, but even as the worst in the series it's still phenomenal. Problem is it's also really fucking long, and you won't be able to get swept up in DS3 launch rapture if you start with its predecessor. So I have no fucking idea...

    Same. Have half a dozen +2's and no +3.

    Do you get anything for killing him/making him fuck off? I just ran by him after he graciously roasted the mimic for me.

    On phone data so not gonna watch the video, but are you in the top left corner (facing the exit that leads to the 4th bonfire) of the second floor of the last hut? That's exactly where I was when I saw the invade message.

    Unless they changed the way that ring works it's almost useless because it doesn't mitigate the hit that lowers your health across the threshold ,so your survival has nothing to do with the ring. And another hit is generally gonna kill you, defense boost or not. That's been my finding at least.

    Heheh, I let the dragon kill the mimic for me.

    For the one on the rooftops: lurehim to the ladder, climb up and lob firebombs at him. For the one near the beginning of the area: run away when he transforms, stick to the curved staircase that leads up to him. Play hit and run, lobbing firebombs at him. Firebomb the fuck out of them...

    Haven't gotten them to drop a damn thing. Game is a lot more stingy on drops than its prececesors and I don't wanna pump luck.

    Haven't found it yet, though!

    Dark Souls 3

    Yeah I'm still using the dark deep axe or whatever it's called. 200 damage, no scaling, so I'm taking the opportunity to level vigor, vitality and the like. My only problem with the game so far is I haven't really found a weapon that's made me abandon my aimless stat allocation as early as I did...

    Dark Souls 3

    I've heard both good and bad re: katana. Even taking into consideration NA players who bought the game in a traditional manner being on the shit end of a preposterous launch, I don't think many people really have much of an idea of which weapons are good and which are shit. I spent 4 of the 8...

    Dark Souls 3

    Killing that fucker the first time yields some good upgrade mats. He respawns and no longer drops nice shit, so make sure to just backstab the asshole before he can transform after the first kill. Or kill it with firebombs.

    The art direction in this game is maybe the best I've ever seen. Every area so far is striking.

    Make sure to kill those passive acolytes in the first area. Just had one drop a titanite shard for me. Seems like a really rare drop - that was my first - but still.

    Typing this on my phone taking a shit atm and midway through I start hearing the sound of armored footsteps on my TV. Getting scared. Pretty far from last bonfire.

    Dark Souls 3

    Seems like souls required for leveling are lower as well, though. Making it through tutorial, having killed the boss and the lizard and all the trash on the way I had like 7k souls, which got me probably 7 levels.

    Dark Souls 3

    I cannot get the timing down for ripostes - never got even one off in the tutorial area, and I died several times trying. Regretted it once somebody here said you don't get NPC invaded when not in ember form

    Brave Frontier

    Yeah. I think the only non-exclusive I have summoned for this entre year is Rize. But going for Avani, Zeru, Allanon etc I've managed to pick up Laberd, Lafiel and Gildorf. Pretty annoying how frequently these things come out, though. I remember looking forward to batches - now I just acquire...

    Eek. Not one assessment of the game here as yet - just a litany of complaints about its stability.

    Think I'm gonna get really, really drunk tonight! Drunk Souls is best Souls.

    Yeah, I stopped buying games from Amazon if I wanted them on day 1. I'll head to Walmart at midnight and pick it up there. I'm off tomorrow and Wednesday

    Brave Frontier

    Nice! I pretty much only summon during exclusive promos (limited time or not) because they're releasing these things every fucking month and their impact on the meta is almost always noticeable.

    An excellent tip! Gonna spam the fuck out of it. Need more starters for omni anyway.

    Dark Souls 3

    It really could be the apex of the series, though. They've released four straight masterpieces and have had the opportunity learn from mistakes made. But clawing my way through rot and ruin to reach Anor Londo was the supreme gaming experience of my life, and I doubt there will be another...

    I fear I'm fucking myself over because in the recesses of my mind I think I'm already assuming this will be the best game ever made.

    Dark Souls 3

    That and it would seriously fuck with major retailers not dedicated to gaming like Target, Walmart, etc who might not be ready to deploy their shipments - hell, they might not know they're able - and might lose a lot of sales. And fucking with a launch date is playing with fire for the publisher.

    Brave Frontier

    Yeah, as predicted I woke up and felt immediate regret. At least I didn't do the same for Juno or I'd be cleaned completely out. Beer and Brave Frontier make for a bad, bad thing. Gratz on FG!

    Brave Frontier

    Alright, got the bitch because I'm stupid. And drunk. Took like eight summons after my initial six and ran me out of tickets and low on gems, but whatever. I'm sure I'll wake up bloated with regret, but for now I've found 1) a unit that seems (to me) really goodpriorto her OE 2) serves as a...

    Nah, but they can find related (first, second, third order) rates.

    If you're right it'll make my weekend. I mean hoooly fuck, Dark Souls 3 after work tomorrow? Still betting it's something else, though. Hope I'm wrong.
  36. D

    Brave Frontier

    I definitely should've. Checked the rates on reddit beforehand and the results are all over the place. A lot of people are getting her after 8 pulls, whereas others are summoning 30-40 times.
  37. D

    Brave Frontier

    I pulled 6 also. Didn't get anything either.

    Announcing an early release would be unprecedented, wouldn't it? I bet they announce Demon's Souls or Dark Souls hd rerelease.

    I adore being asked to dump gems into a temporary unit without being able to see her final evolution!

    Dark Souls 3

    Yeah, I usually farmed out Iron Keep because the xp was insane, but that's about it for vanilla. After a few assrapings from the Fume Knight I farmed out the giants before him.
