Respawns are respawns. Didn't you need to rest at a campfire to save the game? So hopping from one campfire to another to save progress and heal, then doubling back to see what you missed would get you respawns. It was a long time ago and it wasn't an experience I burned into memory (outside of...

I didn't see anything that led me to believe the ET Virus had to be activated. In the first episode everyone starts acting under the virus's control as soon as they are infected and then they show the aircraft seemingly doing global aerosol dispersion. In the subsequent episodes, the only...

I didn't play it on a PS anything. I don't buy consoles and I don't play consoles (usually), so keeping track of of the generations means nothing to me. I did "hack" one of my roomate's PS2 and pirated a bunch of games for it for a few years... so that's basically the default console I go to...

It must have been Dark Souls 1 then, it was a long time ago, and since I didn't enjoy the game, there was no incentive to remember that many details outside of I hate constantly respawning trash and no story to be found. Again, I can write off a lot of the overall negative experience to shitty...

Who you callin an EQ worshiper? I'm saying I did my time grinding for 10 lifetimes in EQ with hours on end of insta-death kiting if I fucked up (20 some years ago and I still am sick of the AA grind). Outside of a few bosses, Elden Ring as a mage wasn't harder than that (some Triumvirate boss...

Figured "100 times" was a good round number to exaggerate for effect... My only real memory of Dark Souls 2 is going in completely blind on an emulated PS2 copy (also fuck any company that does exclusives), where all the tutorials are in PS2 controller, not M&K, and spending half of my ~4 hours...

The whole game feels like a grind. "See that hall over there that you have to run through 100 times, well those 8 skeletons will be respawned EVERY SINGLE TIME you want to run though it." Fucking busy work that's not fun. "Want to know anything about the characters in the game? Well read this...

Fuck From Soft games and the shitty story, grindfest they road in on!

Competing for a spot on the 10 slot spell casting bar hurts Harm Touch as well. The 30/45 min cooldown that maybe does half of a normal, even con, mob's HP isn't going to save the day anything close to the amount of times Lay on Hands does/will. Sure, if a snare wears off and the stun/mez/grip...

Reminder of the record holder, before Guinness deemed it too dangerous to keep such records:

To add onto this. Clerics also get a damage soak bubble that is insta cast and not on the global recast timer (still has it's own short timer). So they should be the "best" healer, but not by that large of a margin. Which is needed, since the other two get stronger utility in haste(shm)...

Weird, Asmond's editor made this "Watch on Youtube only" or is this really YouTube fucking with them?

You can log onto the game, even if the test isn't active, and see your current characters and hit the campfire button to move around in a sandbox. Here are Human chain, human plate, and Wood Elf chain (forgot my rogue was Woody too):
