The minute you realize Druckman wanted Abby to be the hero the entire time you will understand all his shitty writing choices in both the game and the second season of the show.

And yet the Marvel Netflix shows were able to be hugely successful, as well as The Expanse, Strange New Worlds, most of Stranger Things, and so on. So it is possible to do this kind of stuff without a balooning budget, at least when the Kathleen Kennedy Klan are not involved. And I think the...

This is why Soccer fans and NFL fans are completely incompatible. One gets excited by over an hour of stalling, flopping, and only a couple points scored. The effort in this show is amazing, but the pace is glacially slow and has been since the start of season one. That works for a setting...

What Khane said pretty much. Their goal is to just get as many Poos in the door as they can no matter what. The idea is if they can convince other upper management types that the complete ineptitude of the Poos is offset by their lower cost. Meanwhile the whities he is pushing out will be...

Yeah looking at that screencap makes me laugh, too. Ignoring the whole where did these bitches get eyeliner and lipstick in the post apocalyptic trope (the games got this right, but most shows hand wave it), check out the jacket on her box munching pal. New off the rack, not a hint of grime or...

Yeah a lot of the Bill section was the gameplay crawl across town and starting the truck at the end. Most of the lore bits were tucked in written notes left around by Bill and his pal. The interactions with the trio were good for filling in some back story and kind of building up Ellie (not...

How could you like that? In the game Bill being gay was completely subtle and understated. Most of the interaction was getting the car battery in a town packed with zombies because Bill owed Joel a favor from his raiding days. It was about the intense crawl through town and into the school...

The big Zombie seige was their attempt to hand wave Joel getting ganked by gigantor. Same bunch of faggots who defended the second game are coming out of the woodwork to defend the second season of this show. Sorry, this is shit and everyone knows it. Lets ignore Joel's demise and all of the...

I decided to NG+ with my kung fu character. Palm Blast trivializes a lot of boss fights, but against some AE spamming bosses that move around constantly (Bayle) I bust out the Tree Spear with the big holy shot. Powered through the main game enough to open the expansion plus Ranni questline for...

The show where nothing happens is back...... And Luna is doing a low rent Pedro Pascal impression just in time to put off people who actually pay for entertainment instead of stealing it. That aside, the pace of the first season was way too glacial, ESPECIALLY the three episode prison arc, and...

Most of these companies are so fucking far behind on their kickstarter fullfillment that they could have finished their shipping a year late and still had time to spare before Trump ever took office. To those companies (especially Peterson Games), I say first fuck you for trying to save a buck...

Its just the usual IT circle of fail. Company execs try to save a buck short term by loading up on Poos (and in this case AI they don't really understand to try to cover the skill gap). Customers and User Base ultimately get pissed off because Poos do Poo things. A couple execs get pushed out...

Your assessment is correct, but in my defense I have him mentally associated with the Walter White imagery he used in his avatar. Couple other exiles off the top of my head were Wormy, Oldscratch, and if we are going way back Brittany. Also did Jeffylys actually get banned for being an epic...

Numbers (some called him Dumbers) goes way back and was really an all around shit poster, rather than specializing in any one area of annoyance. Also noted no Fedor in that pic who is probably the all time champ of agro surfing the mods, mostly from his suprise trap pics he would sneak in...

No love for Numbers?

PS- Just looked at your stats closer and yeah five poise is going to get you rag dolled constantly that fight, though most of his shit is dodgeable. The other issue I see is the baseline endurance, which means even with fingerprint you can't block counter for very long without being staggered...

Bayle is hard if you don't understand the fight and know how to read his AE attacks. You also want to have at least 12 (more like 16) Scadooshes in the fight. Unlike most bosses in this expansion, he is not a DPS fest and gives you major windows to recover if you get tagged. The spear you are...

It work, but the amount gained is so pathetic by that point you are better off just doing the Bird Farm for a half hour or farming the hill down from the Bird Camp (Blasphemous, Ruins Sword, and Heima Cannon all clear it stupidly fast and can all be nabbed somewhat early on). But to your point...

On any fresh playthrough, I nearly always clear out weeping for most of the stuff there. This is especially true for the frenzy and lightning items, plus there are two seeds there to boost Estus. And honestly if you have the stats, the castle boss weapon is pretty damn solid for a while. Of...

Levels are less impactful than Scadoosh shards in the DLC, but its doable at 80 to 100 with a build you play well. Morgott is clown shoes easy with the Gransax. Mohg is a bit more tricky even with mimic. Assuming you are not delaying it to get Poopman, Rannis questline is probably the best...

Any sort of chargable weapon art is going to benefit tremendously from the talisman dropped by the Gaol version of Godfrey. Next to Alexandar's Jar Shard it is probably the most ubiquitous talisman in the entire game and obtainable fairly early. The other talismans are largely going to depend...

Many of the Demigods and gods have multiple avatars that sometimes seem to have a will of their own. Marika/Radigon literally fucked themselves, for the most prominent example. St Trina and Miquilla is the DLC example of note. I think the Godfrey stuff is there because they built a false...

Level 277 is going to face roll the DLC, once you get the Scadooshes. Just like at launch, shield counterpoke with spear is top tier, especially if you can rock Lansax Spear from the capital and/or a decent bleed spear. At that level you likely have enough stats to rock the fingerprint which...

Well I prefer to play non exploitive, like I dont constantly pick pocket or do "barrelmancer" crap or other borderline abusive shit. Tactician with some self restraint is my happy zone with the game, aside from a couple overtuned fights. And if I run mods I use the tactician one to ramp things...

Unless you are playing with Mods, I found the game to be pretty generous with useful heavy armor, assuming you get the two potential sets of Adamantium Scale Mail from the Duergar area. Medium armor is mostly meh outside of the two suits that have uncapped dex. The light and cloth is where it...

I am having this battle with senior management where I am at. They think they can get AI to just magically do work without any developmental investment or service management resources once its off the ground, Total madness. We have had three glorified search engine chatbots crash and burn...

The Poo invasion is happening at every level and it needs to stop. You are exactly right that the dipshit senior management think AI will solve the talent issue and that they themselves are somehow going to be immune to replacement by Poos. They are really pulling out all the stops to do to...

The effectiveness of the mimic is largely dependent on your base build (AI starts making dumb choices for casters, base Unga mimics are usually the best) and if you are doing the dumpling trick or not (empty out item list and leave only the dumpling there and the mimic will periodically heal...

You should see how we are about abnormally large Adam's apples.

Yeah pretty sure that one is getting nerfed hard, but even so he had to manage agro while keeping close enough to heal chip at least. Radahn seems to have a regular agro list wipe (a lot of mobs seem to) that makes him really froggy.

This was my setup, too, with a ton of faith and spamming Ancient Rancor for most fights. Once I wrapped my head around the design changes and grinded some scadooshes, Bayle and Radahn were the only major issues where Poop Man was not the immediate solution. MLGS was too slow for most bosses...

I would be curious to see what the numbers on builds of people who were who managed to beat Radahn without using one of the cheese gimmicks like Rolling Sparks, especially where they attempted it without a cooperator. I bet the vast majority of them would involve Finger/BK Shield and <insert...

I would say over the spam of the series, shield based and caster playstyles have consistently been more popular. And I am seeing a lot of bitching about the bosses when anyone can pick up a shield and make things much easier. Its not like I am saying Parry or GTFO (though there is a subset of...

The snow zone in the DS2 DLC is what that 6th Archstone was going to be. Doing a replay, I dont think the shards are a hinderance. You really only need around 12-14 to be decently set for the endgame and you can get most of that just unlocking graces. Initially, before I understood where to...

Spinning around for three minutes straight, chipping constantly, adding madness, and shitting out rando AEs to make roll dodge specious is not a fair fight. Unless you use and ash/summon, he will do that constantly leaving zero openings to counter or even heal. Even Radahn 2.0 gives you...

The hopalite (shield and spear) was a staple of PvE all the way back to Demon's Souls, but ER actually added more variety with the different options (cannonball shield, ect) and even building attack mechanics around their use. And Shield Counter is one of the best poise breakers in the game...

Having done one full run as a caster and almost done with the second as a tanky bunga, some of those are way off for me. Radahn - No question, every sin this game commits is in this fight. Shield and Spear basically required here, unless you are an Asian OCD click god. Leda battle royale -...

I guess I never got to experience him on a second attempt, but that sounds a lot like the Bayle bullshit. I do recall helping some randos and being greeted just outside the door, come to think of it. There are a lot of encounters that the designers clearly wanted to frustrate people...

I dropped him in one on my caster run, knowing nothing about him or even expecting him there. Just stuffed him again in one attempt with my finger shield/ruins gs build. Would have been even easier if I had the stats for a bleed spear of some kind. I don't get how people are having issues...
