This made me realize how much From Software deserve our money. Buy game. Play game. Game fun. End of story. Not all that meta bullshit.
But their lack of diverse representation is problematic. And the game difficulty is terribly ableist

Going to check out the PowerA as well since ill definitely be using wired.

Their controllers are pretty nice. The d-pad is a cross shape, not like everyone else's that switched to the circular style.

PSA: Remember to have a wank around 11:30 PM on Thursday, cause you won't have time on Friday+. Get your pipes clean and mean before Elden Ring drops!

8bitdo SN30 Pro 2 is great, as is the PowerA Fusion Pro 2 (would be my #1 recommendation for anyone who'll be using their controller wired no matter what).
Thanks for the suggestion. Went with the PowerA.

This made me realize how racist From Software are. We should never buy or play their hateful games.

Have you even seen a single black person in any of their games?

I haven't.

All of the characters should be black people, every last one of them, so that we can achieve true diversity. Until then, just say No to Fromsoft.

Well since they rated boss fights as the best in the series as a pro then reusing those same bosses should be a bonus pro no???

The DS games have something called "quality builds". They're the ones that start off with similar stats of str and dex. This lets you go with both str weapons and dex weapons and are the most lenient in terms of letting you try both strong/heavy and quick playstyles. For first time players, they are often the "easiest" and most forgiving to start off with.

Vagabond is the one with the stats to match that from the start.

Elajjaz discovered that in the test when doing some dungeons in the open world. I doubt they reuse the "big" bosses, especially ones from legacy dungeons, but he did notice a reuse of a boss from the catacombs. So they might basically be like chalice dungeons from Bloodborne, only set in the open world? Chalice dungeons also reused bosses.

Chalice Dungeons were an awesome "Side B" of a game.
