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...

Having an issue with a Lenovo Legion Y540. One of the fans on it was doing the buzzing chainsaw thing all laptop fans seem to do after a while when they fail, so I got a replacement set of fans (CPU/GPU). Turned the laptop off, had the "Update and Shut Down" thing going on because it hasn't...

Finished Dark Souls Remastered (and then beat the final boss again for the other ending). I've played the others as melee specs, but I always play this first game as a caster. I really like the Big Hat Logan spells. I think I even played as a Faith caster once, though the slowness of their...

Yeah, I'm shocked that isn't what happened. Rumor is Tony prodded him to do it and Cody wanted to stay face. I think Cody has big aspirations of running for office in a few years, and part of that is being a beloved character on TV in the meantime. Everything he's doing (the reality show, etc)...

This means WWE's pocketbook is now a fully-armed and operational battle station. If they're willing to shell out ludicrous money for Cody, they'll shell it out for MJF, Wardlow, Jungle Boy, Sammy Guevara, really ANYBODY that AEW is building around, the minute their contracts run out, and now...

It was last minute indeed, he had a meeting with Khan on Friday to go over his new contract and they couldn't agree on it. TK basically lowballed him and I guess between that and the savage crowd reactions he's been getting, Cody just went "fuck it" Then again, he did just spend months cutting...

Yeah, caster makes Demon and Dark 1 super easy in comparison to melee. My current Souls 1 run has me playing an almost pure fighter for the first time ever and not using any kind of ranged damage or attack spells. In the past I'd always run a battlemage type deal and melee with damage spells if...

Bigger, Bolder, Buggier...Boyish-er than ever. I may beat up on the game, but I'm sure I'll play this (and the original) sooner or later. They're fantastic-looking visually and the whole post-post apocalyptic theme is interesting.

Just finished the game, pretty much speedran the whole thing by taking out all of the AA gun emplacements early on and then using the helicopter/plane summon from base to fly in and air-drop every time I had a mission in the middle of nowhere (which was most of the missions). Probably saved me a...

Finished Far Cry 6. The last couple of missions were really good/intense and the most fun I had all game. The rest was a bit meh, about 10 hours too long and way too much busywork. Halve the game's length and make more of it like the last couple missions and it could have been incredible. That...

Watching the movie now on that Youtube link and I can answer my own question: It's from 1981 which pre-dates all of Cameron's big movies, so he probably got inspiration from it. The opening shot looks VERY Terminator-esque and the first few scenes remind me heavily of Aliens, from the boardroom...

LOL, I'm glad I started something with that comparison. I left off on episode 5 (I think?) and need to get caught up on this ASAP. That watchseries link from earlier in the thread isn't working anymore for Peacemaker episodes, anyone have an alternate means to watch this online? I guess I can...

I might be remembering wrong, but didn't James Cameron either influence or get a lot of influence from this movie? I remember there being something really important about Galaxy of Terror but I don't know what. I'm gonna watch it later, for the first time.

I dunno, this looks interesting to me. I want to know what this dastardly sky menace is, because knowing Peele, things aren't usually as they seem. Besides, "Us" was like the creepiest fucking movie I've ever seen, in a "lots of us are at war with ourselves" kind of way that revealed the thin...

Back, plowing Far Cry 6 as we speak. Was planning to plow the new Pokemon game today but I ended up deciding to finish off FC6 once I found out how far along I'd gotten with it. Also have a Dark Souls Remastered run going. Never played it before, only the original. I fully plan to plat this, but...

Yeah, I usually go offline my first run at these games. Eventually I end up going online when there's a tough boss I need help with. Every Fromsoft game (except Demon's) has 1-3 fights that I always end up needing help with. It takes a lot to get me to cave on that, like the worst of the worst...

Yep, Asian-on-Black rape basically doesn't exist at all, talking like single digits per year sort of thing. Black-on-Asian on the other hand is fucking nuts. Just noticed they very intentionally have the w small-case in wHITE. Is that whole thing about how we're supposed to capitalize Black...
