Asmon isn't awful but its mostly just to listen to his usual dumbass banter. He didn't do any of the previous events so its nothing new. He likely wont get as far as the previous network event guys did.
His stream is pretty funny but it’s painful watching him in combat… so cautious like most pussy ass strength n00bs!!11

He has zero BB twitch ability

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.

Can watch Elajjaz. He is a very good DS player. Speedruns and the likes.

I do hope that thing that thing that Asmon found isn't in release next week. I wasn't really paying attention but he murderhoboed some random non-attacking NPC and the guy dropped an extremely powerful weapon. He then proceeded to just rape just about everything in Limgrave with it.

Like it was presumably some quest NPC, there was an option for talking to him. He just listened to chat and killed the guy outright. NPC didn't try to fight back at all.

Didn't watch the stream live, but looked it up now. NPC did fight back after two hits like they usually do, but yeah. Dropped a very wonky weapon. Not the weapon itself as I think that can drop from other enemies as well, and isn't named and can be used at low levels, but it had +8. Going by regular DS upgrade mechanics, I'd assume that is indeed broken for the area since that would require chunks and the likes to get it that high and I've only seen people get small shards in the first area. So not sure if that massive upgrade is intentional or if they did an oopsie when setting the + stats on it.

That said, he died repeatedly against every boss he tried after it. Damage was indeed high as it did 1h as much damage as Elajjaz did with a 2h that he found that wasn't upgraded. If someone like Elajjaz got that weapon that Azmon did, I'd assume he would walk all over the content in the first zone without much hassle.

Doesn't really matter for me though. I never kill talking NPCs in first runs. I want the lore and possible quest progressions more than an item.

For those wondering what the weapon was here are stats on it

For comparison, here is his regular +1 starting weapon

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.

That is part of his appeal. He looks like someone who actually no lifes MMORPGs.

he is basically level 99 homeless 3d generation meth-head white trash but his ability to talk non stop for 15 hours at a time about everything while playing a game and reading chat is why he is one of the top 5 streamers (by subs/money/views/whatever metric) in the world right now

this made me LOL on lsf, "asmongold on why his relationships dont work out". does show an early boss of elden ring so dont play if you want to go in super blind (but c'mon... its a dark souls boss you've seen in every from game)

Yes it's coming out for pc. Combat in souls like games is very animation focused compared to most games. For the most part, once you memorize an enemy's moveset and have your timing down, you can clown them. Then you move onto the next enemy and have to learn their moveset again. Depending on your build you can't just roll up to a mob and react to their moves because your character is too slow to respond to adapt in time. Learning this makes the game both easier and more tedious because in many cases you're not getting better at the game as you play, just better at fighting certain enemies in certain areas.

I think im just gonna get this for PC then. Do you guys think there will be any mods for this? (down the road)

And the combat in DS remake for PS5 feels fantastic, they did a great job with the way the physics engine works and making the weapons feel heavy, or flexible and quick etc.
