What expectations? It'll probably be hot garbage but there's enough that looks "right" that they clearly didn't squeeze every drop of potential from it. Until there's something to go on that wasn't shat out exclusively by the marketing department, it's still all a big shrug from me.

The new teaser looks much more promising than the first one. If it had just fallen out of the sky out of nowhere, I'd be pretty hyped. Hopefully, the prior marketing was simply front-loaded so they can say they gathered up whatever diversity points they think are required. I don't give a flying...

That's pretty much standard Star Wars levels of stupid. Vader can also rip heavy bulkheads and shit from the walls of Bespin in ESB, but can't overpower gravity for a few moments to stop Luke from falling into a pit. It's all silly and inconsistent, but that's par for the course. I thought the...

Those two things are not remotely the same. The nanotech suit was a clear and story-driven evolution for the character. No one who isn't a Star Wars ubernerd has any clue that the little blinky lights and buttons and jock straps on Vader's outfit received light alterations across the movies. He...

JFC This is like being handed an actual shit sandwich and then proceeding to type up an exasperated screed about the pattern of the sesame seeds on the bun being askew. If you really insist on period accuracy, Vader's costume in ANH looked like shit. It was a budget-limited conglomeration of...

I watched a few seasons when it first aired, then suddenly stopped for some reason. I think part of it was that I didn't catch every episode and there was a lot of connectivity between them and I just didn't have the attention span to keep up. I want to try again but I can't get past the janky...

I haven't consistently watched a Star Trek show since TNG, and haven't seen even a minute of Discovery, but I'm really enjoying this one. I definitely wasn't sold on the crew at first, but they're really starting to hit their stride and I'm enjoying all of them. I'll never be fully on board with...

So I noticed right away that Obi-Wan slashing into something and using the smoke to temporarily blind Vader was a callback to Luke's fight with Vader in ESB, I just couldn't remember the exact context. It turns out that Vader sliced into a hose and Luke forced the steam into Vader's face, to...

Yes, surely the cure for companies like Disney who drown themselves silly in the inclusive/wokeness/SJW Kool Aid is to continually splatter the internet with repulsive racist garbage. Yup, that's the key. I mean at least have the dignity to make it entertaining.

Heh, that sounds like my first experience with her. It was late, I was tired, and well beyond when I wanted to go to bed and, whelp, there's god damn Malenia. I have to give her one try and then I'm wrapping up the night. The first attempt was a joke. She opened with her crazy forward charge...

That was just Vader being Vader and throwing his dick around in front of his subordinates. That fit the character fine. His sudden onset of severe dementia on the other hand...

Yeah I'm generally pretty easy going when it comes to these shows, but this episode was really irritating, especially as James Earl Jones sails in to give you a full nerd boner and then a minute later the show clamps down on your dick with its teeth. It's clunky fan fiction that scrounged up a...

I really tried to like the episode and it wasn't without its good parts, but it really came off like they segment the writers into two groups: Group A, you come up with some nifty Star Warsy things in isolation. Group B, you connect up the nifty Star Warsy things with plot and dialogue and...

With no link to the outside "world", even if it was primarily one way? Again, that's just silly, especially after the ending of RoTS where it's made pretty implicit that the remaining good guy crew would stay in contact and coordinate an emergence when the time was right. I've never watched any...

I just watched a few minutes of RoTS, and it turns out my memory isn't total shit. When Obi Wan watches the security footage, Palps calls him Lord Vader, and Yoda refers to him as Darth Vader a few seconds later. So either Obi Wan is a complete moron (either for not making the connection or...

Yes, I get that. But Anakin had been Darth Vader well before the lava BBQ. So a big bad jedi master in a life support suit with the same name shows up working at the Emperor's behest for 10 years and Obi Wan can't make the connection? Or was the Vader name just kept between Palps and Anakin...

Didn't he know Anakin had turned to Vader well before the black suit? To be fair my memory of Episode 3 is shit so I'm open to being completely wrong. But yes, point taken. He's also shit at giving advice. Oh, you're being hunted by professional Jedi killers nearby? Best go back into town so...

It was a little clunky at parts but I really enjoyed the first two episodes. It was very pleasantly notbadobama just like the start of The Mandalorian. But how does Obi-Wan have no clue that Vader survived? Yeah, I know, hermit life and all, but he's clearly doing more than creepy peeping on...

After a couple months of slow late night filthy casual runs, I finally decided enough was enough and took down floppy Loch Ness Monster penis over the weekend. Kind of a shit fight as a pure melee, especially having to deal with half-naked blacksmith tranny after each failure (I may or may not...

Yeah. Certainly weapon types play a huge roll as well. I'm stubborn so just kept on keeping on with the BB. Tiche took me about 30 seconds total: 5 seconds for her to shred me to dust the first time I ported in, and 25 to rethink my strategy and beat her no problem the second time.

I finally downed this son of a bitch yesterday. I did try bow and arrow lady and she was rocking it during the first phase. Once the second phase kicked in, she did jack shit. Every time. I don't understand it, it's like the game kicks into Nightmare Mode for this fight, just for me. She would...

Yeah I've thought about trying exactly that, good to know that it works. I never used her much so would just need to get her to +10. Prior to busting her out I may try Rivers of Blood and...something else. I saw a video of someone dual wielding katanas against Placidusax and they seemed to be...

This is like saying you just fucked 1992 Pamela Anderson but instead of going back for seconds you're gonna fuck 2022 Pamela Anderson.

I tried this guy and he held up a bit longer, but phase 2 just seems to annihilate all of the summons I've tried. The bird thing didn't even last a minute in phase 1, he got all up in the dragon's face and got ripped to shreds. It's strange how I'm having so much trouble with this fight. No...

@mimictear plz see above and try dodging, thx.

Clearly sub-Chadding it with Blasphemous Blade. I tried again last night and somehow ninja-warrior'd my way through through all of the fire, lighting, tactical nukes, and fucking laser beams and chopped him down to one or two hits to go with plenty of health flasks left. He was getting ready to...

I think I'm finally at the end of the game, so I've been mopping up the handful of bosses that I left living. The only one remaining is Dragon Lord Placidufux. What am I missing with this asshole? When he goes into teleport mode, the fight turns into total bullshit. I can't get more than 1 or 2...

Not even close.

This game is so god damn weird sometimes. I've been slowly progressing, and reached the creepy village with the candles that need to be lit the other night. I got backstabbed to death by some invisible assassin asshole and figured that was a good time to log off for the evening. I had an...

I finally made a run at the Fire Giant last night. That fight seems to involve a lot of luck. Depending on the attacks he feels like throwing your way and how often he balls up and tries to run away (while running you over), I was either getting him very low or getting annihilated quickly. Kinda...

I'm enjoying the +10 BB. It takes a bit of the edge off of trash clears as you get lots of little health pumps, the base damage + fire is respectable, and the big flame blast is tons of fun. It's just slower than what I'm used to, so taking a big whiff is more punishing than it was before. When...

Yeah, I didn't know +10 ancient stones were even a thing. Guess that's what I get for clinging to my starter weapon (basically) until now.

Ahh, I never did the bird farm thing. I tend to avoid videos that basically boast about breaking the game. I figured I'd get there the standard way, having abandoned quality time with my children and with a ravaged, bleeding anus.

Are you sure? That one didn't strike me as being readily accessible.

I decided to finally toss the twinblade I've been using since like level 12 and go all-in on the Blasphemous blade. I had no idea that some of these legendary weapons follow a different upgrade path / cap. I immediately gathered up a bunch of runes and hit the upgrade smith and was like WTF...I...

I have no desire to cheat code this game, but given my limited play time and this being my first DS-type experience, I don't mind taking advantage of whatever tools are readily available. It's certainly been better for my controller life. For example, after a few attempts at those dual gargoyle...

Well if you're going to screw yourself out of an area, that fucking sewer certainly isn't the worst one to miss.

I ran into that motherfucker of a knight right before Renalla's elevator with like 2 health flasks left. I stepped up, took a couple swings, immediately realized I would be demolished within the next two seconds, and sprinted to the elevator. He chased me over there and snapped into his fancy...

Filthy casual here who has never played any Fromsoft game until this one. Despite being level 85-ish, I really have no idea WTF I'm doing when it comes to weapon selection. I've been a 100% 2-hand melee build since nearly the beginning of the game. I've amassed mountains of swell looking...

I put like 12 hours into the game and haven't spun it back up since. I wouldn't mind diving back in but at this point I may just wait for the next gen graphics patch. Is that still a thing? Has a recent ETA been given?
