    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    So i beat the second owl fight last night leaving me only with demon of hatred and final boss dude. The second owl fight as fantastic and i just wish more of the bosses were along the lines of him. One thing i loved is how if you do the proper counter to some of his moves before waiting to the...

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    Prayer beads only work on health. You need to kill bosses for attack power upgrades. Get all the prayer beads you can. You will need the health... Although i sort of wonder if the damage of mobs is scaled or at least partly scaled by your current max vitality.

    Use the sugar that that makes you harder to detect. Run right to the side of him and you should be able to get a stealth deathblow. With that you can simply just use the vent, wack him a few times and repeat. You can do much the same with the second ogre later on. Just fall deathblow on top of...

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    I'm kind of torn on this game. on one hand i find the combat is actually pretty great in the boss fights that show it off well. OWL is a great example and it felt great deflecting his constant attacks and trying the sneak in the hits to vitality whenever possible.. But i feel that the trash is...

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    That Guardian Beast is fucking annoying, Thought i killed it on my second try.... Nope took me another 45 minutes.. being a boss you can't really reliably parry through me in a loop and the phase two took like 10 minutes of kiting when i did win.

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    What do you use Spear for? i feel like the Axe does more posture damage with about the same range.. I have yet to see much use for the spear but i just got the first upgrade for it so maybe that will help. Granted i have like over 400 spirit emblems banked by virtue of simply almost never using...

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    So im curious how people are handling defense moves in this game. Has anyone been able to mix in deflect/jump/dodge, i find it hard to use more then two of the three at a time. For me my fingers are constantly primed over the block/parry button and dodge key. I often find myself Trying to...

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    Finally got some time today to actually play it, killed Gyoubo, LB, Genchiro, all on my second try, also got a fair number of mini bosses so i have 3 life upgrades now. I don't think this game is nearly as difficult as people are making out although i've actually had more difficult times on some...

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    Got it at 9pm at GS and been playing for the past couple hours or so. It looks very nice on the ps pro with higher resolution. Personally i think the unlocked framerate might be preferable to locked 30 since your getting the frame pacing issues regardless, The game certainly feels like it...

    So if i wanna pick up a PS4 version where is my best bet to to get one that will sell to me earliest? Does Gamestop still do midnight release?

    is a vega 64 aircooled worth it for 300 bucks? I have an opportunity to get one off my friend to replace my rx 580. I wasn't planning to get a new videocard for a year or two since i only have a 1080p monitor and would like to replace that likely this fall or so. But this seems like a fair bit...

    Fun Ass Indie Games for < AAA

    Child of Light may not be an indie game technically since it's published by Ubisoft oddly enough. But it certainly fits what you would expect from one. It's also 4.49 on ps store right now and is really good. Cosmic Star heroine is the only Indie game i have that i don't see mentioned so far...

    Just go to group finder for quick play. I had a lot of luck getting good groups this way recently when leveling an account to 25. Not everyone is gonna be good but it's far more likely then doing 2 stack qplay. I Played that Paris map.. was excited at fist because i thought it was control at...

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance

    So I saw this for 14.99 at Target for the PS4 and grabbed it. Now, I have a "better" computer then my ps4 pro. But my large 4k tv is much nicer then my 1080p monitor so i usually get games for the ps4 instead of PC since i bought the pro a few months ago. Anyone thinking of grabbing this...

    Essentially the average high school basketball or football player is playing the same game as the NBA or NFL players. Except Zone Defenses are legal in basketball, in both you can generally be more physical/handsy then in the pros. A few differences in football like catch rules and no...

    I kind of wonder how many people are actually "watching" these games. When i was playing with my friends the other night 3 of 5 told me they had various accounts using another screen to just hopefully get some team skins. You essentially get them at random for watching or something? Anyways i...

    Darkest Dungeon 2

    Coool, I really liked the first one in some ways but it was very flawed and felt "cheap" even for a cheap indie game. The idea of a "Journey" instead of simply rehashing a very tiny amount of content over and over with it's stupidly grindy mechanics sounds like a very good idea to me. I mean...

    apex does seem to really have hurt the game a good bit. Every night a i would say over half from normal group is playing that instead and we have struggled to form more then 3-4 mans when before we had lines for 6 mans a week or two ago. What strikes me is how all these OW players who don't even...

    Overwatch

    They recently changed the spread pattern on his shotguns. Not many noticed but it was arguably one of the bigger stealth buffs of recent times. it's far easier to get "direct hits" or closer to them then before.

    Overwatch

    Eh maybe at the highest levels. But for most levels brig is still making tracer near unplayable in matches they are both in. For one players simply don't focus down players enough at most levels. So much so brig's ability to constantly HoT and get rid of the poke dmg, while also having a big...

    So how does everyone feel about the new meta? Reaper buff combined with his recent buffs have made him an absolute monster tank buster who can simply can inside and rip apart a team before wraithing out. One big thing i noticed is callouts are much more important now... if a reaper is flanking...

    Overwatch

    just curious how you guys feel about this. I had a match today, where both of teams took both points in Anubis... twice... Thing is our last one was on Overtime by like one second. So they won and basically, we had no chance to win. IMO this is demoralizing. If a team is good enough to take...

    The What Makes America Great thread

    I dunno if we are taking this post serious or not... I recently picked up this book and it very much jibes with my feelings about how the concept of "America" and what makes it "great" or even just what makes it "America" is a p0lace and idea created by the 17th century Puritans. in the UK the...

    Overwatch

    For a single game or small sample size, this is true. However, for good sample size, a significant difference in stats absolutely indicates someone is contributing far more to his team then the other one. Hell one Rein is dying 50% more often than the other so it's clearly not just the guy is...

    2019’s first Overwatch PTR patch buffs Reaper, nerfs Brigitte Armour nerf kinda sucks IMO. I see another brig nerf also. Probably not a terrible idea to nerf armor though. Sometimes when i play on soldier, for example, it just feels like I can't cut through peoples health pools fast enough...

    Computer Issues

    So I'm thinking of at last making the jump from 8gb to 16gb ram on my main home computer. Problem is when I got this computer in late summer 2017 the Ryzen, or the MSI bios for the b350 had an issue where it basically could only run at 2100 even with my 2400 ram. I did a good bit of research at...

    It also feels like there’s a delay between pressing fire and the round actually leaving the rifle when ads’ing. Her gun is really infuriating to me.

    Wow so LFC up 4-1 on Arsenal at HT. Spurs lost to Wolves today.... If this holds up that's 9 up on Spurs + goal difference so essentially 10... and at least 7 on City going into Eithiad match. A win over City could essentially wrap things up considering LFC only have 3 games vs top 6 teams...

    Video Game Music (vgm) Thread

    Bloodborne: Old Hunters had some of the best Boss themes imo. I saw one posted on here but not the two best ones. Both of these are great, just a shame the lady Maria fight is a bit too easy. I don't pay attention to much vg music but that song from the Xbox 360 era Dues ex game is excellent.

    I work in event management and i totally did not consider this. It will cost them a fuckton. The Arena and associated fees are already paid at this point and won't be returned. They will also have to lose deposits and likely have to pay them for a ton of non booked/returned rooms as generally...

    I actually feel the MEtA is pretty good right now. Maybe it's just because I've been winning more often lately and i'm sure thats coloring it to a degree.

    Battlefield V

    I think they sort of screwed up the promotion and cover art for this game and that is partly to blame for sales sucking. As something of a semi-casual FPS guy I had absolutely no clue, it was a WW2 game until very recently... I mean the cover and main promotional art is a generic girl dual...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Sweet! I was super impressed with GS sale prices on most older PS4 games when i saw them on Thanksgiving. GS has the best deal for most games but in some the PS store (especially with that 20% coupon from a new PS4!), and occasionally Walmart of BB is superior. My list for myself so far, the...

    It's interesting to see many people here say this as i feel the opposite. Playing games like EQ 20 years ago ruined open world to an extent. Many open worlds feel just like single player mmos to me. With most of the flaws of MMO's but lacking the player interaction that makes them what they are...

    Damn, I didn't see that bash nerf, thought it was just a nerf making it so you can't hit bash through shields.

    I got 175 for my old 5000gb ps4 a few days ago from GS with the initial idea to get the spiderman bundle in a few days but I wound up just grabbing the pro instead. They lowered the trade in value but it's still 165 now but it's still almost a no-brainer if you are still using an older ps4 you...
