I've been thinking about why this game is so enjoyable, and I think it's because there are no quest hubs, NPC stories, whatever. It's open world RPG distilled to its purest form. There's no burden of "you just opened up this area, now go talk to these 20 village people who all need their dick...

Hemorrhage takes off a % of the enemy's health bar, which could be really powerful if bosses don't just totally mitigate it or have such a high "hemorrhage" pool that it'll trigger like, once per fight. I think once I get the ability to respec I'll go from str build to dex/arcane and try this...

literally the only asmongold vid I've ever watched was him quitting ER and the whole thing seems like a subscriber ploy, but I don't know him at all. Just seems suspicious to have one of the most popular open world games come out and make a big fuss about being too intimidated by it. If he...

haven't got invaded yet, is there a setting I have to enable? I know I can use a "come at me bro" talisman or something. Tho I imagine most PK bitches are waiting until they can twink out specific rune levels or something before pvping and are just enjoying carebear life while everyone is on...

30 hours would be a respectable normie speed run, like someone on their third playthrough casually seeing how quickly they could beat the game. Especially if they didn't use any of the ez rune-farming techniques.

Some folks asked for my info on my goofy ass setup so I created the below diagram. Basic principle is simple: mouse in right hand for pointing camera, gamepad in left hand for controlling character movement, pedals for actions with "hold" behavior like sprinting or guarding. Pedals are poor for...

Not really. Because there are almost no restrictions on belt design and the inclusion of a vertical dimension the utility in really precise layouts is small compared to Factorio or Dyson Sphere Program. In other words, the difference in cost, power draw etc, between an ultra-clean and efficient...

which is fine because that 30% is front-loaded, so it covers the area you're in unless you're a nolifer who showed up to work today being sleep deprived over a singleplayer game release of all fuckin things

I'm guessing it's https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Fia

there's quite a few mini-quests that require you to swing at something with no guidance that it's the right choice. There's one that . It's a little obnoxious because you don't know if you're permanently failing the quest or just doing it.

I'm kinda considering respeccing once that unlocks to something like a spellsword or maybe fully caster I dunno. I'm currently using a str build now with a greatsword and it's fine, but this is such a huge game it'd be nice to try different options.

The flow I've settled in is to wander to each location, "clear" it, and then check https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Interactive+Map to see if I've missed anything. It got tiring trying to be thorough in each area, knowing that you might be missing a high-value Smithing Stone, weapon etc...

here's soft cap for HP, not a huge dropoff starting at 40. https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/HP

I fucked up on

The torch guy arresting your movement is somehow so much more insulting than if they had pikes.

Just did what I would consider my first "jumping puzzle", pictured left, because I saw something on the top of it. Was a player marker, sons of bitches.

I've said "what the fuck" in astonishment at a new area or mob more in ER than I have in probably any other game.

here's a vid I took of my gameplay experience after I learned how to charge heavy attack on the horse

you will probably feel dumb later when you're drowning in a bunch of low tier weapons that would've helped you but are now useless.

winter is comin' boys, and it's heavily burdened https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Grafted+Blade+Greatsword

where? I've never summoned any players and wanted to give it a rip but couldn't find anything. I used the Furcalling Finger Remedy

margit spoilers

In prev games you could get a lightning or other elemental affinity weap that would scale with int. Not sure if that'll repeat here

PS5 is probably the better version today, but I'd argue that my crazy gamepad + mouse control setup is superior to either mouse/kb or gamepad only. Really, buy it for all platforms and preorder the switch version. From deserves your $$$.

Starting as a wretch I'm pre-emptively boosting str and dex just so when I get a weapon I can use it. Club does pretty well tho.

pretty cool vid. What's funny is that in my business I'm really interested in bumps and imperfections in the roadway that get you the realistic motion as you traverse the roadway. I'm surprised this track doesn't have more of that in GT7.

I'll be enjoying my half-assed PC port with troll messages, but it'll be tempting to switch to a modded experience after a few dozen more hours.

Once you're done gaming I bet you could teabag that thing and get a good scrotum tickle massage.

Sure. It's more boring than you think tho. I just have an xbox controller in my lap and my feet on a couple of pedals. The pedals aren't really necessary because of how minimal the dark souls controls are. Elite Dangerous, GW2 etc take advantage of them more. The crazier versions of this...

Yeah I played DS2/3 with an xbox 360 controller. It's fine. I like being able to look around with a mouse and I hate switching between having camera control (right joystick) and all my ABXY actions.

I use a single pedal and a triple pedal from iKKEGOL I got these when I went back to GW2 to switch fire/water/lightning/earth constantly on my elementalist. Has turned out to be a huge benefit for other games too. I use them to alleviate having to hold down buttons or replace really busy...

Def not watching this vid, lol

will have to try this tomorrow. Who knew it could be just a matter of hitting the turbo button?
