    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    lol It was definitely a hassle. I've used archery in some forms from MMO's and it was a useful thing in Souls games ever since I used it in the original Demon Souls. I just got this weird interest to try it since some youtubers were saying it was doable. It IS doable, but it gets frustrating...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Finished up my archer build run, what a hassle. I'm never doing that again. The concept is fun in some ways, but some of the fights are just ridiculous and the farming is a huge pain in the ass. I think I spent more time trying to get levels and make arrows than doing the content. The variety...

    Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

    I would prefer the human parts be in the form of disaster type ambience, like the perspective of people fleeing or the military. The first movie with the whole military ships and people on the bridge in the bay while Godzilla approaches or the whole Hawaii type tsunami is what I'd be willing to...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Everyone brags about some of these OP summons, but its funny just how many of the other ones have their own uses. I'm a die hard fan of the Skeletal Militiamen. They act just like regular skeletons and get back up again after their slain, as long as you aggro the boss away from them when they're...

    Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

    All the more reason to come up with new monsters, and the Hollow Earth idea could really open it up for more original ones. Some of the typical Godzilla monsters are pretty cheesy and don't really seem like they could stand up to him anyway. Skull Crawlers and Warbats were really cool additions.

    Killed the Godskin Duo with archer build, what a pain in the ass. These fights are getting really difficult to handle and the amount of farming I have to do for arrows is annoying.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Its definitely something else. I started using the crossbow as a means to clear trash so I wouldn't run out of regular arrows so much, otherwise I have to buy more at the vendor or make more. Thankfully that one hunter phantom pops up at warmaster's shack you can kill for a bell that lets you...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Here I am playing this game again because the others I've tried since I beat this the first time have too much dialogue or hand-holding that it drives me nuts. So I started an archer build playthrough and gunned down Margot, Godrick and Radahn (no summons) first attempts, but it took me a few...

    I used blood abilities which tend to use health, so maybe they avoided it because its self-harming? I wonder. I never saw my mimics use the ashes.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Pretty sure mimics can't use the ashes you have, and may struggle to use the weapons even if you equip them, just like you would. They have your stats and currently equipped gear/items. That said, they will also copy the effect of your weapons, which is great if you're dual-wielding something...

    Not sure if anyone knew or maybe the new guys needed to know, but some merchants sell a "lantern". Its a reusable light source that hangs on your belt so you don't need to carry a torch in one of your hands.

    Maybe one of those statues that you need to have broken by an enemy? I'm pretty sure there's one but I can't recall where exactly.

    The Mandalorian

    I had a sliver of hope that Grogu was gone for good, but that was a pointless dream. I would've preferred they ditched the kid and rounded out the cast some more with more solid regulars, but I guess they'll milk that green little cow for another season.

    Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

    I think anyone trying to play this after Elden Ring is just going to be disappointed. It lacks the "fuck off and let me just do my thing" approach of FromSoft games. Might want to try it down the road.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah, you need two weapons of the same type for dual wielding to do the power stance attacks. Dual Uchigatanas are one of the best because a lot of katanas have the bleed effect by default, but then you can make them Blood Uchis on top of that. You have to start with a Samurai though to get the...

    I switched from sword/shield to dual-wield blood by the time I got to Mountaintops and it was a game changer. I struggled before that, then dw-blood + mimic just shredded everything.

    Strength and Dexterity have their own merits, but what you're looking for is to pick the stats that match your playstyle. You'll want to look at the weapons you're using, and the A->F modifiers on them. If a sword has say a scaling modifier of Strength = C and Dexterity = D on it, that would...

    The lady next to the two fingers at the table zone is the one that should offer it. She should still be there. Did you climb the towers and activate all the great runes?

    Is anyone really using the crafting? I feel like I'm neglecting it all the time. I use some of the curing items for situational purposes (scarlet rot), but otherwise I don't feel compelled to use most of the stuff. I considered using some of the buff foods, but trying to farm the special...

    Just killed Great Wyrm Theo in Consecrated Snowfield, he's at the east end of the frozen river, southeast of Ordina, Liturgical Town. He dropped 3 hearts. Count the dragon that was protecting the Academy key in Liurnia? Also, there was that ancient dragon before or after the Grand Lift of...

    They will likely work on alternate Soulsborne type games while working on another Elden Ring type game over an extended period. Honestly, I'd like to see them tackle a sci-fi type of Souls game. The environments they do are already tremendous.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Its funny when we talk about FromSoftware games not spoon-feeding you the story and how a lot of little visual clues tell the tale, then you realize all the other games that do hold your hand through the story and how much game time they waste doing it. Its obvious who knows how to make games...

    Are you talking about the little stone dudes that have the bleed stacking knives? They're cats. I ended up with a stone hat of their head off them and it said "cat head". (They look more like gremlins.) Best way to deal with them I found was to go slow and use a ranged item to bring them solo...

    The skeletal militiamen ash is pretty fun. If they get knocked down, get the enemy's attention and they'll get back up like regular skeletons. I actually used them for the Margit fight and they distract him quite a bit enough for me and the sorcerer npc to get hits in. The wolf one just gets...

    Their controllers are pretty nice. The d-pad is a cross shape, not like everyone else's that switched to the circular style.

    Its a walking simulator. I finished it in a little over an hour. You walk through some moody environments while its narrated.

    I would go online for a boss fight if necessary for back-up, then afterwards save/quit and go offline to go back to single player.

    Dark Souls

    Finished up my first time ever playing a caster with a sorcery run and the damage you can do is bananas. The homing missile spells are pretty useful. That said, I was pretty pissed off with how much my spells would miss the targets, even going through some of them completely. Also, bosses like...

    Finished up Demon Souls (Remake), and did better than I did years on the PS3 version for sure - I even melee'd the fake King this time around. The nostalgia was hitting me pretty hard the whole time, and the game looks absolutely amazing. The detail in all the environments is nuts. I'm...

    They'll just have Billy West do the voice since he can probably do the whole cast anyway.

    Peacemaker

    After she started ranting to Harcourt about the dog outfits I just skip them completely. She's already got way too much screen time for a stupid character Gunn created. This show needs more Peacemaker and Vigilante time.
