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.

Agreed, the remake was amazing, just wish Demons Souls had the same interconnected world like the later ones had. It is nice that each world feels incredibly unique, though. Great game aside from a few gimmicky bosses.

Original Demons Souls gameplay really holds up well, the remake was almost exclusively a graphics/sound upgrade

As if my hype meter wasn’t about to burst I read and watched some fairly spoilery stuff tonight that has me frothing at the mouth for this week. Shit! Not sure I’ve ever seen a game preview this well either… think I’m grabbing on ps5 as the pc version seems like it might have a few issues for launch and I hate not using the haptic controllers now.

My options are PC, Ps4 Pro, or buy an Xbox S. Not sure which way to go.

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.

Tell me you only use two hand STR builds without telling me you only use two hand STR builds.

I think I'll be going for a STR/ARCANE build. The spells this time around all look really badass it seems criminal just to be my usual blademaster self and not use any of them.

Since you can parry with either a shield OR a two hander out you have a lot more flexibility this time.

This guy did a great Soulsborne boss tier list. I don't normally really like or get into tier lists, but I gotta say this was a fun thing to listen to for 2 hours.

I think I did in DS2. In DS1 I used a spear. In DS3 I used .... a spear plus magic I think?

I am kinda curious how well high level dark souls-like players are faring in elden ring. I'd be truly impressed by someone going in cold and beating the game with a low death count in the same way a lot of games can be beaten by high level players. Souls like games are harder than most other games to be sure, but a big part of that is that "getting gud" is memorizing locations and enemy animations, which doesn't translate to other areas.

What noob bullshit is this?

Any self respecting terrible 2H str player farms early mobs to level str to 40 ASAP then one-shots everything not a boss the rest of the way.

Duh.

I'm gonna start in my undies for the first time. This guy convinced me. Weird I haven't even considered that before. The very first upgrades is usually what I love most in RPGs but in DS I can play like half the game with no upgrades since the starter gear is good.

TJT · Feb 21, 2022

The adventures of Skirtlifter the Elden Lord will begin this week boys.

Dude, this motherfucker has the same speaking tone, cadence, and word choice as Sam Harris. The only thing different is the actual voice; and that is a matter of octave. I am too lazy to compare them side by side but holy shit it is like a 95% match.

Looks like it comes out on PC a few hours before console.

Hey just be glad you're not in Mountain Timezone, they aren't even allowed to play it.

If I plan on getting a physical copy, is there any way to shortcut the installation with a pre-load?

VPNing a NZ or whatever IP address to unlock games is one of my favorite gaming release rituals.

How does that work? If I preload from NA server will it still let me complete the download via a different region? I'm on PS5 by the way.
