Personally I'd say either Dragon Warrior 3 or 4 is my favorite NES game but I'd put SMB3 right behind them. Final Fantasy 1 and Destiny of an Emperor probably round out the top five. If non-US Famicom games that I didn't play until way later count, FF3 and DOAE2 were both pretty solid and would...

How do you attack with both weapons at once like he's doing? I've tried dual-wielding and it seems like you can only hit with one, then the other, not both at once. I've seen people with two Ultra Greatswords in Souls 2 swinging both at once and I never knew how that worked either. Course I also...

Yeah. @Hatorade was the first on here I think. I also beat it, and a couple other people. Enough time has gone by that I could have platinum'd it / beaten it a second time as well but I decided RL was semi-important and had to draw a line somewhere. Now I just play it in small doses, maybe a...

You can disable invasions by disconnecting from the internet, but I don't recommend it, being able to summon people outweighs getting invaded. I think you can only get invaded when you have the item activated that enables summons, or at least that's the only time I've seen it happen. If you end...

Revised my stats a bit since I'm almost level 200 now from doing everything. Goal is level 255. 60 Vigor, 40 Mind, 30 End, 80 Int, 16 Str, Dex as high as it'll go. 16 Str so that I can still use the Brass Shield even if I unequip the Soreseal for whatever reason. 3 talisman slots is killin' me...

That's what drove me nuts about the Radahn fight. Like it could have been an awesome battle, but after a while it was so frustrating that I just ran around spamclicking the NPC summons until the fight ended. Every time I'd try to get in there and mix it up with him, I'd get one-shotted as soon...

Anyone else notice how like all of the major bosses in this game have names that start with R, M, or G? It's like how James Cameron's movies all seem to start with either T or A

I've got five memory slots for spells, how many SHOULD I have in endgame? I didn't even pay attention to the Memory Stones available for sale because I assumed they were temporary consumables due to their weirdly low costs. So I basically missed most of them, have 3 now. Probably wouldn't be too...

Looks like 2. Ya know, I think the problem is I didn't get the second one, rather than Godfrey glitching out. I'll just make sure I talk to her in NG+ after activating two great runes but before fighting Godfrey. 1st: Dropped by Margit, the Fell Omen upon defeat. Location: Stormhill [Map...

Sounds good to me. For caster respec I'm going with 50 Vigor, 30 Mind, 30 End, 80 Int, 16 Str, 40 Dex, any future levels are going to Dex because Moonveil gets a ton of attack power out of it. Actually have more attack power with that spec and Moonveil than I do with a dex spec and Malenia...

Hopefully when I beat Margit in NG+ it adds a fourth slot, but I have a feeling it won't until I get back to where the actual fourth slot is supposed to happen.

Yeah, I activated all six of them ages ago. Talked to everybody in the table zone a few times over during the game. Only NPCs there now are the various merchants and the finger-reader remembrance NPC.

I only have 3 talisman slots, not 4...didn't even know there WAS a 4th slot. I'm post-final boss in NG and I've done everything. I looked it up and I should have gotten the 4th slot a while ago. Is there some specific way to "trigger" it after defeating Golden Godfrey? I read something about...

84% trophies, finally taking a break from the game. Looked at what I have left for the platinum, and it's -One legendary weapon (the missable one) -Two legendary spells -Lichdragon fight -Third ending Should be easily doable in NG+. I actually think the platinums in the other Soulsborne games...

Yeah, I tried to play the new demo and got the same message. I'll just wait for the 18th. Probably playing this day one, or at least night one. Not taking the day off like I did for Elden Ring, but I'm interested to see how this is regardless. I dunno know I feel about all the real-world shit...

Hardy Boys theme is a public domain track. Which begs the question of why TNA and ROH never used it during their runs in those places. In other news... Jade should do Mortal Kombat 3 Jade cosplay like, all the time.

I wasn't sure what to play next after Elden Ring, because it makes all other modern games look obsolete. It's like when one of my past GFs told me we shouldn't have a 3-way with her hot friend because it'd "ruin regular sex" for me. Well that's what Elden Ring does, it ruins regular games...

Thanks for the input. I take it high Mind isn't particularly crucial for a caster, if you've got a bunch of mana potions on hand? I use Mimic over Tiche and it can be cast with any level of Mind due to the HP cost. I'll definitely want some mana so I can cast kamehameha comet at range, etc. I...

Yeah, a lot of weapons just can't be enchanted because they already have some other type on them. Like Malenia, the one drawback to that weapon is that it can't be enchanted. I hope Moonveil can be enchanted. Bloodhound's Step is really good. If you played Cuphead, it's like the...

Are there any spells/weapons/talismans/etc that you need to do multiplayer to get? Cause I'm going for the plat but I don't want to start NG+ and have multiplayer die a death unless there's nothing I need from it. Taking all my willpower to not play through this a second time immediately. I...

I haven't actually used any of the sploit/farms beyond a minute or two of trying them out, but I don't mind their existence. Sometimes you need a few more levels. I know there are people who will vastly overlevel and gimp the game for themselves, but I guess they aren't my problem. Gotta say...

I feel like farming the enemies on the hill right there is more efficient than sniping that bird guy, but you do need to have the right build for it wheras sniping the bird only requires a bow and arrows. Icerind Hatchet's L2 makes short work of the enemies on the hill, as does the sword you...

You can get all 3 endings in one game if you back up your save. The endings are all decided right after the final boss, from what I can tell, so you can exit out of the game and back up your save at that point to try different things in the final room and get different endings. I was able to get...

The clouds on the overworld map DO seem kind of strategically-placed. I bet those are there in case they want to add areas later. They can get rid of a cloud and put an island there easily enough, without being forced to only use areas that exist on the current map. This cloud in the center sea...

Yeah, I was thinking earlier about how Elden Ring falls directly into that same category as Everquest and Morrowind in terms of having a whole world to explore that feels alive and interesting. It's SO RARE in gaming to have that experience. The turn of the century was the last time games like...

Code Vein has a similar meta to this where you could buff up and then knock off bosses super fast. I mean the game is easy enough that you don't need to do it, but it exists.

Yep. I took out all the Erdtree Avatars and they dropped components for the Physick. No seeds or anything for the normal flask, which is still pretty underpowered at +5. If nothing else I'll get a new set of seeds/tears in NG+ to use. The Physick is really good in and of itself as well. I've...

Caster question, since I didn't use any sorcery for the entire game and don't know what I'm doing on a respec: What stats should I be aiming for as a caster with Moonveil? I've got 150 levels to spend, plus whatever I got from the last couple fights, maybe 155 total. Obviously Int should be...

What's under the capitol city? All I remember from it is being lost in the sewers for what felt like hours and falling down the same hole like 4x like a dolt. This is certainly a hell of a lot easier than killing those Bell Bearing Guardians or whatever they're called that spawn at night in...

Yeah, I also love how people can have such different experiences in From games. I've mentioned before how I absolutely struggle with Blood-Starved Beast in Bloodborne and roll over Lady Maria, yet I see so many people saying the former is easy and the latter is hard. Supposedly you can stay on...

Lots of people missed it, dick! I totally agree though, the quest was good, especially the drawn map. There's another point where you get a drawn map that shows you where 3 seals are, and that was pretty cool too. One of the 3 seals is inside of a rock that disappears when you hit it, which had...

This game is like the ultimate evolution of Zelda 1 and Dragon Warrior 1. Morrowind and Fallout 3 were big steps along the way, Elden Ring is the final form (maybe). Those two NES games had like zero structure, and it was amazing for a kid with an imagination. You were only limited by whether...

I like when summons give a needed assist during a fight (like the poison jellyfish distracting mobs, or the +7 mimic adding a lot of DPS). I will say that the +10 mimic is a bit too powerful and I feel like it's gimped a few fights. Was at +7 for ages and just got +10 in the endgame and yeah...

Not Elden Ring but yeah damn son I think I finally get why people like PVP in From games so much, you can do pretty much anything with it.

Upgrading HP is important in Elden Ring. I was able to get away with a glass cannon type character in other Soulsborne games (at least until the lategame) but not this one. Midway through the game with like 20 Vigor and 50 Str, I started getting one-shotted a lot and had to focus solely on HP...

I noticed that the sound when you go to the pause menu sounds kinda like the sound some of the bosses make in Super Metroid, weirdly enough. This sound: (loud noise warning)

Beat the game. Final boss was a real doozy with all of his one-shotting. Once I managed to get some decent RNG and get in there and do damage without getting one-shotted, his HP dropped quick. Got two of the ending trophies and 75% overall, just missing Lichdragon, Fia ending, and...

Elden Ring beaten. 44.5 points for me! Took me 85 hours to beat which is probably the actual average, HLTB is getting trolled.

Is there some reward for beating Shardbearer Mohg in his palace? That was an absolute nightmare, and as far as I can tell I got nothing except a ton of souls for winning. Just surprised there's no weapon/armor/spell/talisman reward for beating the big head honcho of the underworld.

That's something I definitely noticed, Morrowind's environments are very alien and diverse, while Oblivion's environments are pretty much standard fantasy grasslands/woods/castles. One of them feels like another planet, the other feels like a generic RPG. Though I do like the red-sky oblivion...
