XBox folks are gonna have like an 18 hour advantage on everyone else. Good thing we aren't having a race to beat the game. I've managed to ignore the hype for the past few months and enjoy what I have instead, but I gotta admit, as of today the hype is finally getting to me and I've been...

Looking into it more, it looks like the 6th Archstone is 100% the ice DLC from Souls 2. 6-1 looks like the frozen fields where you fight Lud and Zallen, 6-2 looks like the actual castle. I expected as much, but it's crazy to see it firsthand and realize you've already played it, more or less. I...

I'd go with the PS5 version. Growing up, my mom watched me play things pretty often, which was cool. Hard to find GFs as an adult that are as interested, most just sort of go do other stuff if I'm nolifing. Last thing my mom ever watched me play was Bloodborne in 2015 (she's still around) and...

Does AEW need a Wrestlemania? I.e. one show of the year that is portrayed as THE top show? I think they do. All Out could easily be spun into their Wrestlemania. Actually, 3 out of 4 of their PPVs could be their WM...all of them except Full Gear, really. I'd even say Revolution has...

Have you even seen a single black person in any of their games? I haven't. All of the characters should be black people, every last one of them, so that we can achieve true diversity. Until then, just say No to Fromsoft.

PSA: Remember to have a wank around 11:30 PM on Thursday, cause you won't have time on Friday+. Get your pipes clean and mean before Elden Ring drops!

Another Modern Warfare, huh? After the total debacle I had with Modern Warfare 2019 (spent a day trying to get it to work and gave up) I'm probably staying away from COD for a while. Unless they remaster MW3 so I can play that trilogy, which I assume don't have the completely ridiculous and...

I'm still trying to beat Street Fighter 1. Yeah, I've got the Switch collection with a ton of SF2/3/Alpha versions as well as SF1 (which is hard to find otherwise). I can't get anywhere with SF1, I just get murdered over and over again. I can squeak past the first fight >50% of the time, but not...

Happened to me when going for Seath's tail weapon on NG+. I chased his tail around hitting it while it ran away from me. Aimed for the tip and everything like you're supposed to. I hit it so many times that he was about to run out of HP and I had to reset. Second time, same thing, maybe on the...

I feel like sales are going to be significantly lower, but I'm probably wrong. The off the rails shit killed about 80% of my hype for Part 2. The 20% that's left is still a lot of hype, but I wonder how incredibly hyped I'd be if they hadn't flown off the rails and nuked them from orbit...

Any examples of this? That's awesome. EQ's devs have done that a bunch of times with things like Plane of War, reused cancelled zones in later expacs. Demons' 6th Archstone ---> Dark 2's snow DLC Dark 1's DLC was obviously designed specifically for that game. Bloodborne's optional area...

That's rough. I've been injury-plagued myself in the past and I identify with the "hang head off the side of the bed" thing. Not being able to sleep because of your injury bullshit is pretty much the worst thing.

I'll pay much closer attention to that DLC the next time I play Souls 2...if there is a next time. Had no idea about it the one time I did it. Hadn't even played Demon yet actually.

Oh awesome, I thought it was gonna be downloading all night on Thurs->Fri. I'll get it going today. Probably won't know whether to go Samurai or Wretch until I start the game, like those people who don't know who they're voting for until they're in the booth. The downside is that I'll probably...

Got this pre-bought on PSN with @Utnayan's money. I think it'll start downloading at midnight Thurs night. Full PS5 game download might take a while. My sleep schedule is fully whacked out and I'm sleeping like 4 hours a day at best, so the tough part here will just be actually being awake to...

Who would have thought that the makers of those odd Armored Core games (which had great soundtracks btw) would in 2021 be the belle of the ball in the world of game development.

The load times on PS5 really are insane. All of the PS4 games that had iffy loading times are way more playable on PS5. I'm gonna guess the loading times are like 1/3rd...that's a wild guess though.

I really hope that Space-Ebrietas thing is an actual boss fight and not just a cutscene. Wow. This looks like it MIGHT be as visually stunning as Demons' Souls Remake, still the most visually stunning thing I've played I think. It wasn't held back at all by last-gen hardware. Elden Ring being...

I'll admit it, I actually thought it was real. I had also just taken a big drag on a joint though, which is probably why it... made so much sense to me

I wonder if the Bloodborne remake (if it exists) will be a Bluepoint remake like Demons' Souls or if it'll be a straight-up remaster like Dark Souls Remastered. Or something in-between like Scholar of the First Sin. The remakes of those first 3 games wildly vary in quality IMO. The Demon remake...

On another note...the 6th Archstone in Demon's Souls has come up a lot on these threads. I assume the worlds were supposed to be the snowy wilderness shown in the intro, the ice castle, and probably like the castle tower or something similarly small for 6-3. Anyone have any idea of what the 3...

Yeah, it is. Typically I plow through a Souls NG+ (at least for a while). Bloodborne NG+ is rough right from the get-go. I think NG+ Gascoigne is about on the level of NG Gehrman, maybe even more dangerous. So you don't get to enjoy being OP for a while like you do in Souls NG+, it goes right...

You can always hit "Go Offline" in settings on PS5 (probably 4 too) and avoid getting invaded if you just aren't in the mood. Yeah, that. I also found the "backup to cloud save" option in PS5 to be super useful in my latest Dark Souls 1 run if I was concerned with losing progress or didn't...

Yeah I disagree, the DLC is a totally different story with new characters. Who knows if Part 2 will carry anything over file-wise. Has that been done successfully before in a series? I half expect Part 2 to have a bunch of completely new systems, probably get rid of the weapon-skills for...

When I was replaying Souls 1 recently I noticed that the Kiln of the First Flame is sorta shaped like a giant multi-layered crater (like the kind produced by a nuclear explosion) and it got me wondering if this was a post-post apocalyptic world where everything got nuked and they built the giant...

Did a lot of PVP in this latest playthrough and it's completely bonkers the variety of builds people can do. Had some really funny duels, too. Like one time when I fought this female acrobat who was doing cartwheels and blowing Yoga Flames into the air, while dressed as a clown...dafuq? Then...

I'm curious to see how fast people beat this game after launch. Like when will the first screenshot of the end be posted, probably by @Zaide? Not sure if I'm gonna plow through it all weekend or play it slowly over the next month or so, myself. Probably the latter, but not really by choice...

Went ahead and got the plat (again). What a fantastic game. I hope all of the Dark Souls games get PS5 versions eventually so I can plat them a third time. Month flew by, gonna see if I can finish off Breath of Fire 4 this week as it's one of my last couple of unbeaten PS1 games. Been playing...

This guy did a great Soulsborne boss tier list. I don't normally really like or get into tier lists, but I gotta say this was a fun thing to listen to for 2 hours.

Annnnnd done. Took a little over two hours to get from the beginning of NG++ to the Anor Londo blacksmith using the various tricks in the last few posts. Only had to beat Sif, Taurus Demon, and Iron Golem. The glitch through the floor trick took a lot of tries. Finished at SL 90 or so and the...

Got the Moonlight Greatsword, last non boss soul weapon I needed. Seath's tail was super difficult for some reason compared to all the others but I eventually got it. Just need to beat NG+ Gwyn and NG++ Sif with whatever skips I can do now. MLG looks freaking awesome, too bad I'm not a caster...

Update, looks like if I let my computer sit on the Lenovo logo for about 5 hours, it eventually does load Windows. On one hand I could just never reboot it and just continue as normal, but various other things aren't working now. D: drive isn't even listed in file manager (I've got C and D...

It just occurred to me that you need the Anor Londo blacksmith to actually forge the boss soul weapons, so on NG++ you'd need to play about half the game either way. Unless there's a way to get the Parish blacksmith to have that ability.

What's the best Pyromancer attack spell if I can only bring one along? Been going pure melee but I maxed out the Pyromancer Flame just for the hell of it (probably should have used all those souls on HP, but I'll live). Thinking it'd be good to have a ranged attack at the ready as I get into the...

Figures that you'd know how to do this! I'm done with everything except a few boss souls in NG+, and while I enjoy the hell out of the game, I'm thinking NG++ will be just a straight run to Sif to finish things off. Gotta say, my first melee run at Souls 1 was easier than the caster runs when...

When platinuming this game, you can do about 90% of the things in NG and 9% in NG+, but you need one thing from NG++ to be done. Anyone know how quickly you can get to Sif from the beginning, for when I get to NG++? I'm thinking Start->Burg->Taurus Demon->Parish->Buy crest->Woods->Sif. It...

Yeah, no such option here. I can't even seem to get into Safe Mode, nothing that normally works works. There's a reset option in BIOS but I don't know if that'll wipe the computer or something. I have a feeling that a restore point won't help because I think it's a hardware issue. At this point...

Was about to try this (remove battery entirely) and discovered that the battery was barely plugged in (and not connected). It must have gotten pulled loose when I was replacing the fans. Unfortunately...fixing that problem didn't solve the startup hanging. It just recognizes that it has a...

Yeah generally starting class doesn't matter a whole lot outside of the first 3 hours or so. Except for Pyromancer in DkS1 because the pyro flame is such a PITA to get otherwise and not until 5-10 hrs into a first run for most people.

I just came here to link that. Yeah, I'm going wretch myself. I like the low-level, totally-customizable class in the other games too. In Dark 1 it was Pyromancer that started at level 1 for some reason, but I think the rest were the Deprived equivalents. In any case I'm gonna go with that and...
