I've got a keen Godskin twinblade now with B scaling for Dex. Still wondering if I should switch to a Bleed twinblade and take the DPS hit in hopes that I'll get some huge bleed procs. I'm using the enchant that causes hemorrhaging but I'm not sure if it's actually working. Most of all I want...

I agree with the second one. Stopped reading messages a while ago because about 75% of them were misinformation. Like every goddamn wall has a "fake wall" message in front of it. Makes me want to play offline entirely. This is the cost of the game being wildly popular though, all the lowest...

Me too I think, since I'll have a ton of the spells to choose from at that point. If I have to start over for whatever reason I'm going Samurai though. No clue when I'll get back to this after I see the end credits, cause it's consumed enough from me already. I'll absolutely platinum it...

In the snow area now. I think I could probably head for the final boss at this point, but I'm trying to max out my +19 weapon. Just need to find the mines in the snow region, I'm guessing. Note: The Giant-Killer's Grave (or something like that) crypt dungeon in the snow area is bugged and might...

What's a good mixture for the Flask of Wondrous Physick? I'm using the roll enhancement and restore half HP...because they're all I have. I just defeated a mandatory story boss with a 2% completion rate on the trophy for it. That's one way to tell where you are in relation to the rest of the...

Elden Ring's sheer gorgeousness can carry it even if you aren't into Souls games, I think. But yeah, YMMV. It gets really tough later on.

If you order it yourself and PM me the code that should work fine. I'm gonna use it like immediately

Does Elden Ring count for a backlog challenge BTW? I vote no even though I'm gonna probably beat it soon after nolifing the past several days. It isn't backlogged, it's new. Dunno, may want to specify. If it counts, that's fine with me too. 8 backlog things I'd like to finish after the Elden...

I found an int scaling sword earlier...Crystal Sword, I think? It looks badass too, like a blue energy sword, kind of. I've been using the HP regen talisman for like the whole game, it's so good. Saves on estus when you're at a boss door and don't mind sitting for a minute to regen, etc...

What is that icon with the red X? That's the one I've been getting and I'm not sure what it is. And here's my HP a day later after focusing entirely on it with all the exp I got today / had stored. That's only 25ish levels, too. Hopefully now I stop getting one-shotted...

Yeah, I summoned an invader earlier and he did this completely broken AOE ice spell that locked me in place, inflicted Frostbite status, and killed me in a couple casts. I could see him catching everybody off guard with that. Other than that the multiplayer has been great in this, I've been...

I've been totally unable to do that fight myself. About 75% of the time when I go in to hit him, I just get immediately hit since his attacks are so sweeping and there's so little delay between them. He kills me in 2 hits, sometimes 1 even at full health. So the fight could be awesome with me...

I think I'm gonna switch to the Godskin Peeler and respec my Str into HP/Dex. My survivability is starting to suck in the higher level areas. The GP doesn't have bleed IIRC but it looks like the best overall twinblade.

With all the talk about how good Bleed is in this game, I looked into switching up the Twinblade to proc it (in addition to the Darth Maul enchant I already have). Looks like I'd lose a lot of Str scaling (and I have 50 Str) but not a huge amount of overall attack, plus I'd gain blood loss...

Oops, wrong thread. While I'm here, @Crone I'll go with an Amazon card card at your earliest convenience. Best Buy also works if Amazon's a no-go for whatever reason! Need to find some solid mood lights and set up a streamer vibe in here even though I don't stream.

But how will we know that slavery is bad without games Using Their Platform to moralize?

Yeh, I agree. I already filled in the blank (read: made it all up in my head) that Stormveil was afflicted with some kind of virus that made everyone go insane and genocide each other, hence the piles of bodies and all the defensive equipment set up to try and keep the afflicted out. Little did...

I keep reading about how Stormveil is this huge castle with tons to do that is as big as all of Boletaria, etc. I don't get it, I ran through it just like any other area fairly quickly. Wonder if I missed a ton of stuff. I took the "death route" through the main gate rather than the side route...

I got the Twinblade and the Darth Maul enchant (which sadly doesn't stack with the Twinblade's L2 attack buff, unsure which is actually better). Twinblade absolutely wrecks fodder mobs and anything that gets staggered by it. Bosses, the Golden Halberd seems to still be better against those...

That's one of the 3 bosses I've found that I wasn't able to beat yet. Learned his attacks well enough, but still, the sheer size of the boss makes it hard to avoid. He reminds me of Antlion from FF4. ANTLION SURE AS HELL AIN'T TAME. The other two are Starscourge and the gaol rematch with...

I just reached 30 hours /played so I'm pretty sure I'm going to be fighting the final boss any minute now.

I gotta mull it over cause TBH I have no idea. Best Buy gift card an option? I'd like to get some of those mood light bands all the streamers have on their walls now and I've only seen them at BB.

Congrats to me and Yaph, woo hoo! Damn, @Regime comin' in hot in the 4th quarter. March is gonna be a battle I think

Golden Halberd all the way. Even if I switch to Twinblade, I'm still going to use the GH for mounted fights. As was said already, the charged double swing does massive damage on horseback. Anyone know what's up with the Great Lift of Dectus? It looks like a random stone monument to me and...

Lightning Returns is worth a look for anyone who liked FF13-2 or Majora's Mask. It's a hybrid of the two and once it makes sense, it's a great RPG. I still haven't gotten to GOTG but I can't wait.

I think it got off to a bad start with the gauntlet and then I found the actual park to be really confusing with objectives. And generally unpleasant with the dog fighting rings and whatever else. It's possible I was just burned out by then. I remember liking Far Harbor a lot, then going to Nuka...

Wow, I might actually switch weapons. As OP as the Golden Halberd is, this looks incredibly fun. Have 50 Str and 14 Dex so I'll need to give it an ash that makes it Str scale, but other than that it should work out pretty decently. The GH is a little on the slow side and this is the polar...

Looked around Mistwood and didn't find any giant elevator on the main road...just the ruins with the massive bear and a treasure chest that I got earlier. I'll take a more thorough look later on but yeah I wasn't able to find it with a quick run through. I'm intrigued about this place. Spoiler...

Holy shit. I think I've had that debuff for like 15 hours too. I definitely got hugged early on, and later I noticed I had a red X buff along with the other buffs that I thought might be a debuff or side effect of some equipment. Was gonna take a picture of it and post here to inquire. Maybe...

I managed to find a bunch of 1-5 level grave moss for upgrading the summons, got the jellyfish and the wolf pack to level 5 and could level one more up. I'll keep an eye out for that summon. I've found that the jellyfish is great against big targets that need to be distracted (even better if...

I just tried it out. Half the time you don't get exp for the ball unless it rolls right off the cliff to its right. Try running down and then up/left around it so it rolls right off the cliff. The exp rate for that trick really isn't that good when you factor in how often it doesn't work. It's...

How do you get there? I've made a bit more progress, but I'm running into those blue sealed doors everywhere now. And one gold sealed door behind the imperial castle where I beat up a Tree Knight 2.0. When are all these damn sealed doors gonna open? I found another big boss too, Starscream the...

I prefer the gameplay of Arceus, but Sword/Shield is WAAAAY better looking visually. This new one looks like it combines the best of those two things. Scarlet/Violet are really good titles too. So far Gen 9 is looking pretty rad.

I'll be at a disadvantage in this one since I'm probably going to be getting roflstomped by Elden Ring for the next several weeks. I'd like to knock off a few more from the backlog though, and figure out one particular "white whale" type game like Spirit Tracks / BoF4 that has eluded me for a...

I'm still sitting at 91% in this, missing a bunch of stuff from Nuka World. For whatever reason I just hated Nuka World. I really do want to get it done, but at the same time don't know if I want to deal with it in practice. I think I spent about 70 hours on the game over a few months and just...

Lul, still can't find any [5] Sombers, have a bunch of [6] now. Haven't found anything to upgrade my phantoms either. I've explored a ton of the world now and part of me wants some sort of guide just to tell me what I'm "supposed" to do next to sort of move things along a bit.

Peebee just killed Andromeda for me. All the early Youtube thumbnails when it came out were close-ups of Peebee's stupid face, or the default female Shepard's stupid face. 1 hour into the game, Peebee is crashing a ship or something and everyone's like "that's just Peebee for ya!" ...the hell? I...

Sounds good to me on all fronts. I don't even think I have THAT much free time (I probably game about 1.5 to 2 hours a day averaged out over the whole month), but I plow through a large variety of single-player games while a lot of people on here tend to stick to a smaller group of core games...

What do those numbers mean? Softcap and harsher softcap? Also, if anyone finds a Somber Smithing Stone [5] post it here. Can buy the other four, so it looks like [5], which maxes the Golden Halberd and any other special weapon, is the one you need to find out in the world.

For people having trouble with mage builds, get the Meteorite Staff ASAP. It's much easier to get than the demi staff and I believe it's also more powerful. Can be used almost from the outset, just need a few levels of Int depending on your class (wretch needs 8 points). Meteorite Staff starts...
