“Arms” can be thought of as lots of things (swords, axes, rocket launchers), but they certainly weren’t thought of as 21st-century weapons in 1791.

Hopefully it’s not done by J.C. Staff again...

Sitting through the blinding white Bandai Namco screen is the developers’ vision. This will just ruin the experience, and invalidate the achievements of true Soulsbornering fans. If you can’t 100% the game without Return to Desktop LIKE I DID you aren’t a Real Elden Ring Player™.

(Actually I’m just salty I finished…

11.5 million is “far below” 14.8 million, yet “only a little bit higher” than 7.8 million...

Therefore 3.3 million > 3.7 million

So...just don’t cheese it if you don’t like cheese...?

That’s what I thought worked so well with Sekiro; every boss required you to hone the same core skills. All of the tools (in-game, not metaphorical) were there to supplement your skillset. There was a lot of pattern recognition & memorization, sure, but by the end I actually felt like I was good at the game. I wasn’t…

There’s a third involved with Patches’ quest, and a fourth if you count the Abductor Virgin at the bottom of Raya Lucaria (which Patches also tells you about). They’re all decently hidden though.

I feel like posting about how I cheese everything as much as possible, just to troll the “true” Souls players. The games try to screw me over so much, I’ll happily do it back whenever I can. There are no rules. From the first time I died in Demon’s Souls, and then proceeded to fall down an elevator shaft on the way…

You’re not wrong, but it’s only easy to see through if you WANT to see through it. We’ve seen again and again that anyone can come up with their own “truth.”

And with today’s access to information, it’s unfortunately also so damned easy to find a hundred things that sound good and don’t challenge your world view.…

OK thanks, I’ve actually only beaten Godrick because I’m too busy running around exploring. Probably getting a bit ahead of myself. I’m assuming Rennala is the “next” main boss?

I’m at the point where I’ve given Nepheli the ashes, Kenneth is at the Fort looking for a lord, and Gostoc is still stomping away on Godrick, but I couldn’t get it to advance further last night. Not 100% sure if I was on 1.03 yet though (but I was seeing NPC icons on the map).

Meanwhile, I’m over here still summoning the three wolves on everything and running around with the cold cross naginata I found 5 hours into the game.

Sekiro really pushed you to the limit in a way that made you feel godlike when you finally cleared the next big skill-check. I beat my head against the wall of Genichiro for two days, but when I finally took him down I felt like such a badass. Only to do it all again on Owl, Owl 2, and Sword Saint, but at least by…

Yes, this, and it’s also seemingly pretty inconsistent whether double-jump will trigger after falling vs. jumping from a ledge.

Time to start killing boars...

You animal, you would have us trying our fingers on every but hole all willy nilly??

It ought to work, if you’re playing offline. But you’re still screwed when you unpause.

Yeah I can’t help but think he’s conflating Tifa and Yuffie.

Mario and his buddies are homunculi confirmed
