Topic | So I am about to start Bloodborne |
CaptainOfCrush 06/16/17 11:38:49 AM #82 | Good decision focusing on Vitality. Bloodtinge and Arcane don't need to be touched since they're just too specialized for a first Bloodborne run. Endurance is good, but it's not as important in this game as in Souls (you're given plenty to attack and dodge everything right out the get-go). Strength and/or Dexterity will be your second primary XP dump once you figure out which weapons you like, or you can take both to 25 to build a balanced character. Vitality sees diminishing returns after level 30, but up to that point, I think it's the best stat in the game. I've prioritized getting VIT to 30-35 before almost anything else, and I hardly ever die when I do. As for those two first bosses: one is very much a "Souls" style fight. The other is unlike anything featured in Demon's/Dark Souls and is one of the first enemies that really teaches players how to play BB. He's one of the most highly regarded bosses in the game. =) --- BKSheikah:The Real Deal http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |

That's the quickest way to get stronger early in the game. Also explore those rat-infested sewers. They have new enemies down there that are tough, but the reward is worth it. --- BKSheikah:The Real Deal http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |

CaptainOfCrush 06/14/17 8:51:58 PM #14 | Jakyl25 posted... Although let's also be real and say Conor is a genius for even pursuing this fight from a financial standpoint. Genius indeed. Everyone knows that Mayweather pulls in 100m easy, but Conor should clean up as well - at least 50m, right?

CaptainOfCrush 06/14/17 1:02:25 PM #22 | tazzyboyishere posted... Saw Cleaver gives a damage bonus to beasts (which you fight a lot). Yeah, Cleaver is one of the few weapons to have this bonus, which is not explained well in the game. You get a 20% damage bonus to beast-type enemies. What are beasts? Basically, any enemy with lots of fur or feathers, like the werewolf you first encountered. --- BKSheikah:The Real Deal http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |

CaptainOfCrush 06/14/17 12:52:29 PM #15 | I like the Axe as a starter because its charged two-handed attack can be used to cheese some enemies (though it leaves you vulnerable). The Cane has better scaling than the other two (meaning it gets more benefit when you level up Dexterity than the Axe does when you level Strength) and looks the coolest. The Cleaver is the worst of the three imo. --- BKSheikah:The Real Deal http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |

CaptainOfCrush 06/14/17 12:36:51 PM #1 | Wiki: His office at WQED Pittsburgh famously did not have a desk, only a sofa and armchairs, because Rogers thought a desk was "too much of a barrier".

That moment didn't really "hit me" emotionally on the first watch, but I still enjoyed it as a twist ending, and I love the way it was pulled off. The music was amazing, as was Rick's adjustment to a new universe without missing a beat. He grabs a soda, leaves the freakin fridge door open, and puts a foot up on the coffee table. Not only does this hint that he's done this before, hell you can also take it to mean that he might not even be the same Grandpa Rick that Morty grew up with. His own life could have been filled with a slew of Ricks who fuck up their own realities then jump into his as replacements. It's definitely my favorite moment of the show so far. Also Rick's "not like we can do this every week! We get three or four more of these, tops" might be my favorite laugh line as well. --- BKSheikah:The Real Deal http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |

I'm seeing it with my grandma now as she approaches her mid 80s. In her late 40s, her husband died to lung cancer. She responded by raising their four kids on her own as a Christian widow in Iraq.

Eh, my family's never had a REAL problem with integration (general cultural awkwardness aside) because we're super educated and speak "proper" English. I own a condo next to a lot of people who bought theirs during the recession when the units cost like... $70k each. They're elderly and they're lucky, but they're not that educated so I make it a point to impress them during our first conversations, thus assuring I don't end up on their bad side. Now they ask me for free tax advice. I'm lighthearted about the whole thing, but I'll never lose sight of how lucky I am to have an education. A regular ol' Joe Schmo immigrant with no higher education and a simple job will have a very difficult time integrating, even if he abides by all laws and keeps his nose clean. --- BKSheikah:The Real Deal http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
