Yeah, the one time I drove across Ohio and Indiana, I was blown away by how desolate it felt. Potholes everywhere, roadkill everywhere (that had clearly been accumulating). Like public works isn't a thing. Stopped in a few towns in Ohio and the sense of malaise and hopelessness among the people...

This is nuts. I felt like my healing flasks weren't nearly as good as they should be (+5 at endgame with 13 charges, while I was seeing Youtube videos with like +9 way earlier in the game). Looked into what I'm missing since I scoured for Sacred Tears and Golden Seeds. Turns out I never...

You can trick him into falling off the cliff, but I don't recommend it. I got super frustrated with that fight myself, and looked up cheese strats, which is how I know about the cliff. However, after about 20 deaths, I finally got him, and it was one of the most epic battles in the game. I...

Thanks, I totally missed the first and third ones, gonna go take a look after work. I know there was also a Great Wyrm in the Ruins Precipice area at the very north end of Liurnia because I had to run like hell from it a few times, but when I went back to get it in the endgame, it was gone. My...

So it turns out that a lot of the dragons are all the same guy, Glintstone Dragon Smarag IIRC. He's in the lake, the 3 towers area, and the Dark Moon plateau. So that's 3 dragons that I thought were different but nope. All I have now is the ice dragon in the frozen lake, I think. It's weird, I...

I'd also like to see a Demon's Souls 2. Lot of people think of it as just "Dark Souls Zero" but it's very different from the Dark trilogy in terms of structure, has a different vibe, etc. Here's hoping for Bloodborne 2 AND Demon's Souls 2 in the next decade. Chances are Demon's Souls is done...

How much of the later seasons are worth seeing? The last TWD season I watched was S7. I got into FTWD and watched seasons 1-4 of that (think I was watching it after I stopped TWD even) but it wore really thin. I liked the daughter because she looked just like my favorite ex (who doesn't talk to...

This is the best TWD idea I've seen in ages. Something like Predator, except in the TWD universe. A bunch of guys whose mission it is to kill every zombie on Earth, as ludicrous of a challenge as it is. We've already had all these shows about surviving, time for a show about fighting back. Would...

Got the Deathbed Dress, if this wasn't already my favorite game in years, it is now. Female characters look glorious wearing that thing and swinging a katana. Speaking of katanas, I've got one Ancient Somber and can't decide whether to use it on Moonveil or Hand of Malenia. I'm still running...

Is that why so many people were disappointed in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion? I always felt like Oblivion was pretty rad, but I remember a lot of Morrowind purists felt let down. Morrowind was more like the Elden Ring of its time, with plenty of out-of-your-league enemies around. Oblivion scaled...

Damn, that's a solid look. Right after this she/he started getting naked, and I was a little concerned, but then... They changed into an even hotter look. Dayyyyym. Anyone know what either of these outfits are called? Especially the second one.

Had a REALLY weird thing happen in Roundtable Hold:

Yeah, agreed, except for Bloodborne if it counts. I feel like Bloodborne's NG+ is REALLY HARD compared to other Souls games where I usually breeze through them. That gaol with the torches is the most bullshit area in all of Elden Ring. Invisible assassins that no-sell your attacks and jump on...

Weird, the same exact thing happened to me, died the exact moment Moon Renalla did and wasn't able to get any of the souls back. That was when I found out that dying the same time as a boss still counts as a boss kill. It never happened any other time. Crazy. Wonder why it's that fight in...

I totally disliked playing games on the phone too...until I didn't. Then for a while over the past year or so it became my preferred method of playing things. Totally blew through DQ1-6 and FF1. Just need to have a good game, and the old-school RPG remakes do the trick. The one that made me do...

I didn't really try out too many of the ashes, sadly. Basically just went from alternating between 3 wolves and jellyfish as needed, to Mimic All Day, and pretty much missed everything in-between. The mimic reminds me of the orange copy ability in Ninja Gaiden 2 on the NES

Is it fair to say that Elden Ring is a combination of Dark Souls, Breath of the Wild (overworld design), and Ghost of Tsushima (art direction and visual flair)? I've never played the third one, really should.

I was gonna get some room lights / color bands like streamers use, but I couldn't decide on what kind to go after. So instead I spent my winnings on Final Fantasy: Stranger of Paradise. TY @Crone !

I'm considering switching to a caster build soon now that I've got everything unlocked and a ton of spells to try out. What's the best staff to use at this lategame point, Carian Regal? Not Meteorite? Is it worth upgrading Meteorite? I have Meteorite but not CR. Haven't upgraded any spell...

I'm guessing if you have to start over, it's phase 1 again? Code Vein had a few two-part bosses where if you lost to the second, you started at that phase. However I don't know if Souls really does that aside from like, Bed of Chaos. I lost to phase 1 Melania so many times myself that I'm...

Another PSA for anyone who missed it: Be sure to buy up on weapon mats at the end of NG, because the bells poof in NG+. You want to have a nice supply of smithing stones, somber smithing stones, grave glovewort, and ghost glovewort, especially the higher-tier of each since they take so damn long...

I also get spammed with "unable to summon" messages. I think that happens when someone else gets to the sign first. There's a lot of competition to gobble up summon signs. I put mine down a lot and always get summoned in like 30 seconds. The Haligree tree area, whatever the part heading down to...

That dungeon is just flat-out bad, IMO. Those centipede-men are horrible, and yeah, you have to basically sneak or beeline through every time. Question for anyone with a better memory than mine: What are all of the overworld dragon bosses? I.e. the ones with a boss HP meter. I skipped almost...

I think the ROH purchase was in the works for a while, and is the reason TK has been hiring so many excess people. He basically has to support two rosters now, since none of ROH's talent were included in the sale. They're all free agents and while I'm sure some of them (Gresham, Rush) will be...

Is this good? Also what's up with Vitality? It isn't a stat. I thought it meant Vigor for a while but apparently Vitality is also raised by Arcane? I'm up to Melania and failed miserably at that fight a bunch. Going after Fire Giant now

I'm doing the far-north Haligtree part of the gsme to get the super katana. This is a side area and it's SO HUGE. Literally the size of a DLC from another Soulsborne game. It's structured just like a DLC, too. Get an obscure key item out in the world, defeat a tough optional boss, gain entry...

Two questions: What's that 47 dex katana called? And what's the item to forge a weapon to max called? Looked up Smithing Shard +9, Smithing Slab, Smithing Stone Slab, nothing.

That's me in the earlier Monster Hunter games (3 and 4). I can't lock on anything so I spent most of my short playtime swinging at air. Probably gonna give up on those, which is sad cause I know people who swear by them and that I'd love them if I gave them a chance. No lock-on in a Souls-like...

The fuck?

I like that big Kamehameha-type beam spell. No idea which field it's in (looks like Sorcery). Several bosses and invaders have one-shotted me with it if they caught me mid-animation. Looks cool, does a ton of damage, isn't something I've seen before in these games. There's also an ice wave move...

Yeah, I'm all about grabbing a cool item early and building around it or whatnot, but I don't understand all these videos that are like "one-shot bosses from the beginning" or "gain 300k souls AFK overnight in the first area" because it's like...why would anybody completely fuck over their first...

I didn't say it was a problem, I literally said one of the good things about open world is that you can run to places "early" and get things you aren't supposed to have yet. Rajaah said: 3: The open world environment is simultaneously the best and worst thing about this game. I love that you...

Yeah, I've had a similar issue with Ghost Glovewort 8. I'll have a maxed-out summon (two, actually) whenever I can find an 8. Looks like they might only be in a sidequest area I didn't do and can't go to, so I'll have to get the appropriate ball bearing (in like, the final or 2nd to last area of...

I kinda want this because of how visually-stunning it is. Unfortunately racing sims like this have always been kinda bland to me, definitely prefer the Mario Kart / Extreme-G / Wipeout style battle racer. Blur on the PS3 was the best of both worlds and had realistic cars/weather plus powerups...

Elden Ring totally nails the art direction, even if the actual visual resolution / light effects are a step down compared to Demon's Souls Remastered. Art direction can totally save a game visually. I've been playing things in performance mode pretty much all the time, but I do like turning on...

I think Caelid is way tougher than Altus. Probably head to Altus next IIRC. Siofra might be worth a look, but it's pretty rough at low levels.

I've been trying to find something that looks halfway sexy on a female character. Maybe a ballroom dress or something, at this point. The nicest garb I've found is the crimson hood, and the "sexiest" is probably the Foot Soldier's Tabard IIRC because without pants it's basically a short skirt...

The Raya Lucaria door was sealed, and it didn't look like a key situation, so I figured it'd unseal later after I beat some particular boss, and left. Little did I know, there's a key, and it's like 600 feet away in the swamp somewhere. It was that easy the whole time.

If I switch my Godskin Peeler from Keen to Blood for the buildup effect, plus the Darth Maul enchant, what else can I do to boost the bleeding effects? Any particular accessory or something I'm not thinking of? I know there's one twinblade with built-in bleed buildup that'd probably be able to...

1: The movement is fine, I think it's based more on Sekiro now rather than Souls. You're faster moving and much more agile, and platforming is actually fun, finally. Someone who cut their teeth on Souls and doesn't like Sekiro might have issues with it though. 2: The white letters were a stupid...
