Had to check my trophy date. Possibly the first time a trophy has had a legitimate use for me? Apparently I got the pre-nerf version on the 12th of March. Not that him having reduced damage is that big of a deal since the regular strategy is mostly about efficiently using the NPCs to avoid getting hit that much at all…

They’re definitely making a good case for the nvme drive.

The PS4 and PS5 stuff is listed as “downloadable for play” which certainly sounds much more enticing than games streaming. The PS3 games are obviously streaming, whereas PS1 and 2 games could probably be downloaded and emulated.

Lol there are people out there claiming only no-ash runs are real? I mean I guess there’s always all kinds but that’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard in a while. I happen to also have friends, and playing co-op is actually fun too. But who plays games for fun?

Thankfully you can’t actually get invaded in Elden Ring unless you summon a friend. And there’s an item to also summon a hunter if you’re invaded. So most pvp encounters end up being 3v1 in your favor.

Same, but for Margit. And probably someone else too.

Yo, my man Jellyfish is clearly the best earlygame ash. I take issue with this article.

Definitely. The feeling of overcoming something that’s in your way is a large part of why Souls is a popular franchise. Few games are as fair in its challenge as the Souls games, in the sense that you always feel like you can do something better to not die. Be more careful, use your shield, look around corners, pull…

That really is the takeaway here. However I suspect a lot of people saw the current campaign and decided to make a purchase in-game because of it. So this is probably an above average day.

Just shooting that cave over and over. Top gaming moments.

The “live service game so we’ll fix it in post” thing needs to die off. It kinda worked out in Destiny for the simple reason that Destiny has incredibly tight and satisfying gunplay. But it’s not 2014 anymore. The market expects (at least) what Destiny 2 is right now, not what Destiny 1 was at launch.

“What if we just made everything nasty a lot bigger too?”
“Yeah!”
“What if there was a poison swamp like in every other Souls game, but hear me out here, what if the poison was far deadlier and harder to cure?”
“Yeah!”
“What if there were crows as big as a truck that could swoop down on unsuspecting players at every…

Nintendo threatens lawsuits even when it’s a question of Fair Use. They resort to bullying far more often than any other company, and highlighting this is important since they always get the Nostalgia Pass from any kind of scrutiny.

Limgrave is a gentle land filled only with kind souls. Compared to the kind of assholes you’ll find in Caelid and beyond.

Valkyrie Souls? Valkyrie May Cry? Either way it looks like something I will enjoy.

NGL I missed the post that you were going on strike so I spent a week thinking it was a very slow news week. Then after about a week I thought to check Luke’s Twitter and saw that you had just gotten the new contract.

Downloading a 60 GB patch.

Isn’t this a fairly well-known strategy ever since Demon’s Souls? Shoot a guy with a bow, run away, wait until they reset, sneak up behind them and backstab. Rinse and repeat.

They won’t do it with the first bridge. It’ll be on the 17th bridge or some shit when we’re all comfortable. “Oh, you weren’t wearing the ring that reduces the noise you make when walking? Guess you’re dragon food now.”

The warlock envy is real in pvp when hunters get 4-6 kills consistently with each ulti and I’m lucky to get 2 :p
