    Also, if you are any good at pyro, the charm spell on the BKs makes the whole climb a joke and one of the best XP farms in the game.

    Dark Souls 3

    There were some changes made last night on the PS4. We just got 1.04 /1.05 last night. It broke online play in the US and caused a framerate issue. Come to think of it, they have always tied parts of their mechanics in the engine to framerate (DS2 durability issue) so maybe its the framerate...

    Well they definitely fucked with hit boxes to some degree, but if its on straight swords I sure as fuck can't tell. My Sunbro+10 sword still hits like a mack truck, so damage is clearly not affected. I noticed that the MLGS is a lot more picky about hitting than it was.

    Dark Souls 3

    I actually arrow cheesed the lightning worm (and most of the Demon mini bosses) and cleared the demon boss before I ever even touched the caves under Smoldering Lake. There is a lot of shit in this game that you can make easy with a bow. And Demon Souls basically toughened me up for everything...

    Dark Souls 3

    Yhorm is easy even solo, if you know about the weapon. He is slow enough to get good distance and use a variety of tactics on. I am having the same issue as Kruegan with the dragon, but I am practicing fast switching to and from 2h with the MLGS to get good damage on that guy. Honestly, the...

    Beat the main story and just have the dragon optional boss to take down. Last boss was a fucking joke compared to the cheaty teleporting dick puncher that proceeded him. His weapon isn't bad, but MLGS is superior to it.

    Straightsword and enough dex for whatever bow you use to cheese pull. Faith only needs to be high enough to cover spell and item reqs, since INT scaling is so much more impactful on the major spells you will actually use.

    Dark Souls 3

    Chaos Fireball is pretty good for that, too. Mainly because the lava pool generates extra hits and takes out any trash they might be hiding among (if invader) as well. I don't PvP (unless invaded or summoned to help with an invasion) but the chatter has mostly been bitching about the shield...

    Wind up on that is super long and you are likely to get kicked or bashed (or worse, parried) before you can land it.

    I didn't think it was possible for the Eagles to top the clownshow from last off season, but I was mistaken.

    Dark Souls 3

    That's very true, but poise is essentially meaningless. The player gets stunfucked by the wimpiest of hall trash and enemies either ignore getting hit entirely or are locked as long as you can mash R1 with zero in between. Its kind of sad, really, because poise builds working as an option was...

    Dark Souls 3

    Yeah Pyro is so much better in this game its not even funny. Lightning Faith builds took it in the ass this time around, as well. RE Dancer Blades- They are fun, but utter dog shit because of the split mitigation issue and the spin move does next to nothing when blocked, beyond draining...

    Dark Souls 3

    I am still working on the dragon boss, though I have beat him as an ally with another player. I did my normal balanced everything built to try stuff out that I do in every souls game the first time through, so I had 20s across the board (except Luck) for the longest time, until I decided to nut...

    Dark Souls 3

    Invis and arrow screwage can get you past a lot of it. The silver knight guys cannot cross the bridge before the spiral stair tower, so you can literally sit out of their reach and poke them with a superior reach weapon at zero risk, if you want. The cathedral area casters can be skunked by...

    It got Arrow levels of bad that episode. And now we get to go through the unpowered Hero trope that these shows do when they want to save money.

    Dark Souls 3

    Those guys are easy with a straight sword you just have to time a Charged strong thrust to catch them right when they are about to launch their attack and then the follow-ups wings finish them off. It's the witches with the Flaming pikis that are mixed in with the other shit that's the real rape...

    Dark Souls 3

    Realistically 90% of the game can be beaten handily with an upgraded straight sword and a bow, it's just kind of boring that one of the first major weapons you get ends up being the hands-down best in the game 4 the non player-vs-player stuff anyhow. The frostbite sword you get early on has...

    Dark Souls 3

    Yeah I said back in BB that that weapon rendered all others meaningless. WAY WAY overpowered. The Ith? straightsword you get at the tower bottom early on is sort of on the same level, in terms of being busted. I keep coming back to it despite really WANTING to like weapons like the Judgement...

    Dark Souls 3

    Yeah Fallen Knight armor is the best stats to wt ratio of anything I have come across, plus it looks good. I think I slotted stuff for magic defenses to fight the magic snake bitch, but aside from that I have been rocking the Fallen Knight set for most of the game myself. Armor is really...

    Dark Souls 3

    That's exactly the part I invised past. The halberd that the fire witches drop is great for a sorc build, though.

    Dark Souls 3

    If your fall is in any way big enough to take damage, you have to time it. The spell Spook makes it easier, since it essentially increases the window in which you can hit the button. Target locking (at least on the PS4) can make it harder since the camera may go nuts and drop some frames at a...

    Dark Souls 3

    Yeah, there is hard and then there is annoying. That first stretch of mobs after the giant ice dog is bullshit and random synch kill filled shit show with nothing of value. Unless you are playing the narrow set of weapons that works well against those guys, you are basically hoping to win the...

    Dark Souls 3

    FYI, if you are getting your shit pushed in at certain points due to your preferred build not working against the trash, the Invis spell lets you skip a lot of the bullshit trash clears. I was actually surprised at how many enemies it worked against. Invis up, sprint to next bonfire, then...

    I have been plugging through with that frost sword you get near the Giant tower as my main weapon, occasionally whipping out a halberd or dual scimitars for specialized enemies. Partizan is ok, but outside of that all the spears suck balls. Straight swords are the god tier weapon in this game...

    Dark Souls 3

    Good game, but needs some serious rebalancing in areas. Poise has to be looked at or else Vitality may as well be a dump stat at this point. Plus entire weapon classes are basically useless with the infinite poise monsters seem to have. Finally, enemy difficulty is all over the place, even...

    Yeah Neir was one of my favorite PS3 games. The music and atmosphere just pulled me in. Really looking forward to this.

    Dark Souls 3

    The mimics really pissed me off a lot more than the transformers, tbh. Pretty much one hit kill you at the point you first encounter one, target lock keeps dropping on them, and if you try to range cheese them they duck out of LOS constantly. Getting the Dark Axe was worth the effort of...

    Dark Souls 3

    I am a shitlord and did like fighting hoplite style, with spear and shield, but those two things are unrelated. I just liked the methodical technique based fighting of DS1&2, with or without a shield. I actually mostly used 2hs and 2h pikes in DS2, to be honest. The high speed combat style of...

    Dark Souls 3

    @UT- I of course preferred the more methodical combat of the other DS games, but I get that a good chunk of dudes prefer the twitch, mash, and roll thing. I am on 1.3 patch on PS4 and it plays just fine. Only noticeable dips were when I spammed spells in a crowded area. Game looks amazing...

    Game plays too much like BB for my liking (twitchy combat w bizarre hit boxes), but the environments are great.

    Watch indie films sometimes. Plus for mainstream movies, From Hell, Boogie Nights, Two Girls and a Guy she was good in. She has been in some bad movies, but those movies have rarely been bad because of her. Killing me Softly is the obvious exception.

    Or she will only give blowjobs to random strangers in their cop cars. Flip a coin. Seriously though, there is nothing that five digits and a tongue can't get done. In my personal experience among my circle of bros, only the guys who were afraid to put in serious work munching box made...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Try again. I cited several examples of better alternatives to play WW across many threads here. Also, I don't watch GoT and there are plenty of actresses who show off their tatas who actually can act (Heather Graham, Hellen Miren, Eva Greene, Lucy Lawless, ect) and Emilia Clarke is not one of...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Not trolling (never have actually). All of those movies (as well as BvS) were decent, just not great. Man of Steel, otoh, was a god awful movie. Maybe I just went into this with extremely low expectations, as opposed to your batman induced hardon ruining it for you.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    I think the internet hate machine jumped on this one a little too hard, likely due to the potential here. I think this movie merits a 6.5 to 7 out of ten; i.e. worth seeing once in the theater. The wife and I liked it more than JW, Age of Ultron, or Ant Man. Being a DC nerd I got a lot of the...

    Wonder Woman (2017)

    Galdot was the second worst part of BvS (Lex Joker was the worst, at least the portrayal) and most of it was her horrific acting. If you are going to hire a waif to be the amazon goddess, she damn well better have the acting chops to go with it. Instead we got Secret Agent Dianna with some...
