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...

Golden Halberd is so good. I just finished getting the stats for it about an hour ago (needed 2 Faith once I decided to go all in with it) and upgraded it to +4 by buying somber stones from the giant blacksmith in the hills. Thing is doing literally 2x the damage the Bastard Sword was doing, and...

Going to guess 50 for HP and Str per usual, unsure about the others. I'm at 47 Str now so pretty soon I'll be able to find out if I'm right. Has anyone found any remotely hot outfits for a female character yet? I know this isn't Code Vein or anything, but I was able to find a couple of decently...

I got randomly ported somewhere a little while ago and ended up in this royal palace that looks like the Blood Elf starting area from WoW, with leaves falling and stuff. I never stop being blown away by this game, and I've got no interest in knowing when it ends or how many areas there are or...

One thing I've learned about this series is that depending on how you play, thing A can be easy for you and hard for someone else while thing B can be hard for you and easy for someone else. Hell, I frequently read that Dark Souls 2 is the easiest of the series, yet I find it exponentially...

Golden Halberd from the first open world boss (can be jousted down without too much trouble) seems to be a great weapon...and doesn't use smithing stones to upgrade. I used my smithing stones on the Bastard Sword I've been using the whole time and now I'm switching to Golden Halberd and using...

Main thing I don't want to be spoiled on is the map size. Cause the map keeps getting bigger every time I think I've reached the edge of it, and now I have no clue where it ends. It's a crazy feeling to get from a game in this day and age.

Upgrading the summons requires talking to that red-hooded chick at the Stormhill Shack (IIRC, one of those shacks). She gives you something in the early game...the jellyfish maybe? In any case, you talk to her until she moves to the nexus (she does it automatically after a while, so if she isn't...

Where is this place exactly? I don't know if I've even met Rodrick. Morne Castle also has a few enemies with their back to you when you go up the elevator. They DO assist though so you can really only pick off one of them. I ended up sticking to that one giant on the bridge for a bit when I...

Yeah, the poison jellyfish is SO GOOD. I wonder how many people don't use it because on the surface it seems to have pathetic DPS and is only good for pulling aggro. If it can land 5-6 shots fairly quickly, the boss is poisoned (if they're susceptible to it). A massive amount of my damage...

So uh, does she really look like a man in this game or were all those concerns overblown and unfounded? Heard enough good things about this game that I'm looking forward to it either way, after Elden Ring and Sekiro and the other ten games I'm backed-up on. "Only ten?" says most of this forum...

Huh, that's actually super useful. I haven't planted another note anywhere so I'm still getting lots of appraisals from the n00b room. A word of advice to anyone who hasn't started already: Golden Seed is probably the best gift at the start, in retrospect. Those estus charges don't grow on...

I'm at 18 vigor and 10 endurance (wretch), just haven't gotten back to them since I've been pumping Str. I need to start doing endurance soon though, cause it's starting to become a little bit of an issue. I actually might leave HP where it is for a while and just be a glass cannon. I've found...

A lot of those early PS3 games looked REALLY good. There were even a bunch of 1080p games IIRC. I thought that'd be the standard, but more and more games were mere 720p as time went on. Then when PS4 was announced I figured it'd be mostly 1440p, but instead it launched with a bunch of 1080p...

Things pretty much winding down around here? I was thinking about running the challenge in March or April, but not if interest isn't there. At the very least I do think we should keep a backlog post going for people to talk about stuff they finally knocked off their lists and keep cheering each...

If anyone sees this message in the first room, it was I who dropped it. I wonder how many appraisals it's up to now. What do you get when someone appraises your message? I just got two appraisals while I was posting this and a ton before now.

Head to the church near the starting point, make that a base of operations and then grind exp on the soldiers to the east in the camps. They drop armor, and most importantly, the Brass Shield. You want a shield with 100% Physical Resistance (aka no physical damage gets through a block). As far...
