    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    It was nerfed a while back but it's still absolutely trivial. If you want to hyper cheese you can use the trick speedrunners use, get another heavy spear(they use the Lance from Limgrave since it's easy to get and has low stats reqs), powerstance it with the antidragon spear, now when you use...

    Well they're also playing pretty passively/safe, I don't upgrade it usually and it still goes a bunch faster if you just mash because of the staggers.

    Total War: Warhammer

    Isn't it better to start near many big factions? Haven't played in a while but iirc it was better cause you can pop them early whne they're still weak and get useful traits, while other places still have generic armies all around you but they don't give anything.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I thought beast was easy on all my runs tbh, including dagger no summon run. Yes it runs away all the time, but it also gives you massive openings when it does another move(fire breathing especially, but the "melee" attacks too) and the ranged attacks are mostly low chip dmg kind of stuff that...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Haven't watched the video but there was a thread on reddit about one of the ppl organizing this thing already getting suspended and pending review for a perma ban(because on top of the weirdness of it all, they used a modded character with datamined gear in the ad).

    Star Ocean: The Divine Force

    Should check out Arise if you want to try Tales, although Berseria is pretty ok too but Arise actually looks like a modern game so that helps to get into it. Overall I really like Tales games, but they're definitely more "gameplay games", the stories are extremely anime trope-y stuff, but the...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah if you skip everything I don't think it's that long and isn't too too different from having to do Ivalice to do Bozja I'd say. There's a couple of trials mixed in but they're super easy so don't think it's a huge problem, although I can see the complaint, it's the usual FFXIV stuff where...

    Not sure how it'll work to decide in parties but it feels like the kind of thing you want to run solo so you can make the choices you want. It's good they're adding new stuff though, between this and the harvest moon island this looks to be a pretty big content patch especially since it's also a...

    Bunch of new stuff, relic won't have an area designated for it and instead is tied to Hildebrande story(new hildebrande in 6.2 too). 800slots in glamour dresser. Savage will be delayed one week to let people enjoy the content without having to rush progression day1. The new dungeon stuff has...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Some spells are as fast/faster, like rock sling, gavel of haima, greatsword phalanx for sorceries or dragonclaw/maw and aspect of the crucible horn/tail for incantations. But yeah other than that you just spam spells until they break, and then they take increased damage, so it's just weird...

    Patch notes are up, patch should be up on Switch already, will be up tomorrow on Steam(regardless of expansion or not, a bunch of the changes affect the general game not just Sunbreak). https://www.monsterhunter.com/rise-sunbreak/update/en-us/ver10_00_02.html Still not sure if I want to play...

    Meh. Sounds like it'd be easier and cheaper to just run normal cheats and buy a new account when you get banned. Also the thing that moves the mouse seems super unecessary, it's not like there's any difference between a real mouse and a tool that send mouse commands via USB to a PC. If it was a...

    I bought a few things, smaller games and shit. I have a lot of stuff on my wishlist and just buy some of it every now and then to refill my "to play" list. There hasn't been insanely good deals or anything but that's just normal nowadays, those insane good deals rarely ever happen anymore(and...

    Yeah if I go for that I will look into it but my current setup is fine, we'll see next upgrade. There's some issues with how my house is setup to make it easy that's why I haven't really bothered yet and my current setup isn't too noisy. Edit: Checked a video from Linus about thunderbolt 3...

    Depends on the month obviously, during winter I'm at around 120-140euros per month, during summer around 60-70euros per month. Average is around 90-95euros a month. Everything's electric, tthat's why winter is high, since all the heating stuff is electric too. My energy provider website says I...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Well that was just the outcome of their quests, you can kill most of the NPCs in the ones that don't die, some with actual rewards too(Patches drops a nice spear if you kill him early for example, although you lose his quest reward in the manor). Most of these NPCs are either in roudtable hold...

    I installed this type of AC in my house when I moved, but have 2 units, one in my PC room and one in large living room/kitchen that's in the center of the house. Honestly, the PC room unit isn't very useful and I could have saved money with just the one unit in the center of the house, it's a...

    Most of the money goes in twitch pockets. It's still a lot of money, with some additional money from other stuff like those crystal shits and direct donations if any, plus the ads and sponsored stream(bounties) money. That said, it's not a job you can really plan to do all your life, so trying...

    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)...

    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...
