    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah, I mean it is understandable as the game isn't even out a week yet. I have found a bunch of stuff that isn't listed on the map as well.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I am just going to ramble about my most recent realizations and discoveries, because this is where we do such things. I love how many secrets are in the game. When I played through the Souls series, I played with a guidebook or the wiki, because I am a collect-a-holic and had to find...

    I found my way out of Liurnia the back way, haven't even finished half the zone yet or even unlocked Raya Lucaria. Whoops, Altus Plateau sure is pretty though.

    It's catered towards INT casters though, so while +8 is good, if it isn't catered to your build, you will have better. My weapon was +7 when he gave me his rapier.

    Rodericka's quest line. Talk to her at her shack outside of Stormveil, exhaust all dialogue. She will have you retrieve a note from inside Stormveil. It is on the pile of corpses in the room with the giant strung up and the dogs feasting on remains. Go back to her shack to get loot and...

    Man, there were more night bosses than I had accounted for in Limgrave. I had to go back and kill another 3 that I had missed. On a random note, for those who are using a shield. Bernahl at the Warmaster's Shack in Limgrave sells an Ash of War called No Skill. You can put this on your shield...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Some reviewers had complained about copy paste bosses in the small dungeons, but after defeating the double Erdtree Watchdog, I think it was a brilliant decision. With the sheer volume of small dungeons, Fromsoft making a hundred unique bosses is unrealistic. Plus, it reinforces their player...

    Same, but it hasn't bothered me at all. I remember similar frame drops in DS3 on PC so I am used to it. Stormveil is fucking massive, finally started it at level 40. Found the secret boss too..... ugh.

    My map so far. Level 38.... still in Limgrave, haven't even touched Stormveil. There is so much to do. Also @Hateyou, the Jellyfish are from Rodericka. She gives them to you when you exhausted her dialogue, she is on the path to Stormveil, in a shack with a Site of Grace.

    Is the Catacombs the one in the Scarlet Rot Swamp that has the baby Erdtree leading the way to it that needs double Stonesword Keys? Or is that another one?

    Just got my first "named" Spirit Ashes. 104 FP, don't even have enough to use him yet, but I want to try. Man this game is enormous. I don't believe in spoilers, so I read a ton before the game dropped. I heard of the Weeping Peninsula, I just figured it would be a small area off of...

    Morne is considered a medium size dungeon. Whereas the Catacombs and Caves are small dungeons.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I got a bunch of Smithing Shards running around Caelid (zone to the East of Limgrave). Legacy Dungeons are the very large intricately designed dungeons that resemble Fromsoft's level design in previous non open world titles. Also they have all of the key Demigod bosses that are necessary to...

    Thank you very much for playing "ELDEN RING" and for your feedback. We are currently experiencing some issues that are preventing the game from playing properly under some conditions. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and ask for your patience. Main items to be revised...

    Played for 6 and a half hours. Bed time. I got fooled by the trap chest in Agheel lake and wandered around the Badlands for a couple of hours grabbing random loot and collecting the maps and Sites of Grace over there before returning to Limgrave. Made sure I finally got the Tree Sentinel down...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    George created the world, and the major characters, and obviously the concept of the Elden Ring itself. The actions said characters are taking during the time we play the game, is all Fromsoft. But the concept of the Elden Ring being shattered and Queen Marika and her children ruling the Lands...

    Goddamn there is a ton of new shit in there. Bosses I have heard nothing about, shots of the snow biome and the underground, shots of Queen Marika for the first time, and some awesome weapons (gun with a blast shield!?). Also the thing at the very end of the trailer, I am assuming is the...

    It has the potential to be the next generation of Battle Brothers. Which is an all time favorite of mine. I bought it and played a bunch, waiting until it is finished to pick it up again.

    I dont think they have ever been viable as a main weapon due to how slow they are (this hasn't changed). It's just that they are still able to take advantage of certain enemies who are slow and lack a ranged attack. You are unable to loot any gear by the time you run into the Grafted Scion, so...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Not that it is super important, but the Samurai probably has the easiest time soloing the Grafted Scion tutorial boss, due to Fire Arrows on the bow carving off massive hp chunks before you finish with regular arrows. Granted, I am sure within a week there will be plenty of videos on YouTube of...

    As someone who has never watched him before, this was my exact thought at these screen shots. Its like someone found one of my local homeless and had them start playing Elden Ring.

    This is sad and hilarious. On to the second streamer now, they have the dev's guiding them to miniboss caves... and they are failing terribly to get to them, then failing repeatedly at the bosses once reaching them. These games are clearly not for everyone.

    I hope Asmon is doing better than the main stream, this French guy is fucking atrocious. Seemingly first time Souls Player, exactly what I want for my big Preview Event.

    I believe all the leaks are console thus far. There is confirmed reports that the PC version is experiencing stuttering no matter the hardware level. Most say its minor and expect it to be fixed shortly after release. I'm still getting it on Steam, as I haven't felt like engaging in knife...

    Whitaker fought an infinitely better fight (which isn't hard when you get Silva v. Griffin'd the first time), but he didn't take that fight. Just enough to make it look competitive. That said, Israel is gigantic compared to him, hard to negate that reach.

    MMA Thread

    I don't see this fight going any different unless Whitaker has been hiding something. The three wins post-Adesanya are all fought in the exact same style he had prior to and during that title fight. He rushes in to do hit and run shots, trying to minimize damage. Israel is just too agile for...

    Yeah, little technique as one could expect from this fight, but no one has really just eaten Derrick Lewis unloading on them like Tuivasa has. Or put him unconscious with one shot. Short and sweet, like heavyweight fights should be.

    I kind of wonder wtf happened to Brunson there. Did he hurt himself, or was it a strike from Cannonier early in the second?

    INJECT IT INTO MY DINOSAUR DEPRIVED VEINS. The only thing that seems questionable is baby Blue. The gap between World and Fallen Kingdom was years, and all of the other raptors were long dead by that movie. I guess they are going for parthenogenesis? Its all movie monsters anyway so why not...

    Gotta give credit to Ngannou here. He realized that Gane was just going to be too hard to bomb on, so he grew a takedown game. Not the most riveting fight, but Ngannou is a lot smarter than I gave him credit for.

    Be'lakor confirmed as playable for beating the main campaign. Rumors are that Tzar Boris and another Cathayan lordess are also rewards for completing the mini campaigns they are also including.

    They are, but they have not announced the date yet. It took them months to release Mortal Empires for WH2, so I expect the same here.

    What are your Top 10 games on Steam by Playtime?

    More than 10, but whatever. Amusingly, I literally just happened to hit 2k hours when I quit Dota 2. Didn't notice it until afterwards. Haven't played it in a few years now (although I follow the competitive scene religiously), and nothing else comes close it seems. And since we are all...
