Lurker > ultimate reaver

you can complain all you want tbh but everyone that actually pays attention can tell that while biden was never a particularly eloquent speaker he was dramatically better four or five years ago than he is now. when the decline became apparent was when the reporting changed from a thing they occasionally brought up like a novelty when he occasionally misspoke and became a wholesale defense for whatever is going on with him

as recently as the mid-2010s they referred to it as something he overcame as a child and any flubs he made were referred to as rare backslides into it, now he's messing stuff up in every unedited television appearance he makes and for some reason it's become something he has been battling his whole life

HW Bush was nothing like his son, thankfully.

he was immensely more bloodthirsty for foreigner death, he just had less opportunity to be out in open about it due to the positions he was holding while carrying it out not being as high profile

easily the most evil man on the list

i completely bounced off of sekiro but ive had a ton of fun with every DS, bloodborne, and am having fun with elden ring.

sekiro is very different. some ideas have been taken from it and put in ER, but the core gameplay isnt the same

I don't think that's right.

it isnt. the gap between the two is very slowly narrowing but deaths do not lead births and if they are going to arent projected to in a very long time

thank you for being so brave, on gamefaqs.com

magma wyrm is the first janky-bad boss ive run into so far. this things hurtboxes would make stuff in DS2 blush

slowly making my way through caelid now.

one thing this game has done for me for the first time since DS1 (and maybe for the first time in like a couple decades in an open world game period) is make me feel like I'm on some sort of organically unfolding adventure, and its totally making me geek out. Defeating the initial bad guy, hearing a rumor from an NPC about the northeast being all fucked up and venturing into it running into all sorts of mishaps along the way has been very immersive.

going to need to see her id to verify age, does she have a drivers license

probably like 75% of the time i will play as a girl.

the height of covid was a prime time to push labor rights, and sadly not a lot of that was done and a candidate who does not very much care about that was elected president

noooooooooooooooo

make her a black man

I'm sure that'll get done real soon

americans are getting good at comedy and its making slavs nervous

The issue that would then come up is then you could go to an endgame area, get the good weapons, flee and then use them for the rest of the game.

If someone is daring enough to do something like that and actually survive, why punish them?

So the game wouldn't be easier if the enemies had less health? I played the first Dark Souls for around 40 hours and I can't fathom how you think that wouldn't be easier.

the majority of things in dark souls you fight will die in just a few hits anyway if you've been upgrading your weapons and stats, the difficulty comes from the fact that they can also deal a lot of damage to you. naturally its different when you're fighting like a three story high giant monster or something, but those are the exception and they are usually positioned for you to just fight it by itself

replaying the first dark souls when it came out on switch awhile ago was a pretty eye opening experience for me because i realized like 50% of the difficulty people run into comes from freaking out because they're playing dark souls and not just walking in and beating stuff to death. it gives you a ton of stuff to upgrade yourself very fast, and a lot of enemies especially in the first half of the game can be really easily stunlocked and backstabbed into oblivion. even the first few bosses up until you get to quelaag are made of tissue paper if you're paying attention to what you're doing

i didn't hate it, but in the end i didn't really love it either? the game was balanced around it well, but at the same time it made finding new weapons dramatically less interesting to me because i would find a cool sword and then be reminded i was probably only going to have it for like 3-4 fights at the most.

it didnt break the game or make it bad for me but i feel like i would have enjoyed it even more with well thought out weapon progression. finding cool treasure is half the fun of an open world and i dont feel like theres a ton of benefit to making it more ephemeral

I'm kind of glad he was as hard as he was because I got to him and realized he was beating my ass so hard that it didn't feel like I was supposed to be there yet, so it made me go explore instead of get filtered along the main path

the birds arent that bad imo. if you are using a shield you can kill them really easy by waiting for them to do their big swoop attack and then block counter them, it will take off a big chunk of their health and also ground them

(admittedly i also found this out by accidentally doing it while being attacked and being reminded that was actually a mechanic in the game lol)

It gives me big boletaria castle vibes that I kind of love

ive had enough time with this subject to know that the ukrainian avengers (ghost of kyiv, panther of kharkiv, rufus the puppy, svetlana the smokeshow battle bimbo) which i have been seeing on social media can stop the tanks

im going way slower than most people here but thats just how i play open world games tbh. took out godrick and now i'm heading into caelid.

I love this game a fuckton so far. the only problem i have atm is that the game feels very not-generous to drops compared to previous entries. it took me seriously like 20 minutes of grinding in that dude filled courtyard in stormveil to get the exile armor. i also havent found any way to increase item discovery other than crows feet, though maybe ive just missed it

late 90s/early 2000s when the game boards were still fun

most of the dragon quest series has a god just called "god" and he's unambiguously benevolent.

in dragon quest VII you actually meet the guy and hes just a friendly dudehttps://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/5/6/AABOcFAAC-ws.jpg

its very good but im one of those weirdos who prefers tooies soundtrack so im hoping it gets the same treatment

palpatine's behind it all

namcos arcade collections are almost always the absolute worst values for some reason. everyone does it better than them

didn't they reuse some of the enemies from the previous games

not that ive seen so far. some enemies use animations from DS3 though

Elden Ring and BotW wouldn't even be things without Bethesda

bethesda did not invent large fantasy worlds you can wander around in, and outside of a very brief period of time they were never even close to the best at making them

its sad how far back bethesda pushed fantasy open worlds

the average ce understands the effort that goes into slowly lurching out of the garbage pile by their computer desk and straining their hog hooves between keys to type a post, you're preaching to the choir

they look like something little kids will enjoy so i get it

i think less of people who talk about competitive pokemon on instinct

i assume they dont care what you think

thats fine

That's fine with me

I found a dark cave that led to a boss i beat. They gave me a sewing thing I think. That the one you're talking about?

Yeah, if you keep going past where the boss is there's a tunnel that leads out onto the island

havent figured out the purpose of the island yet, theres weird stuff there. part of why i like this game so much is it feels very arcane and strange and i keep stumbling on stuff i cannot yet decipher. havent felt like that since ds1

ive seen normie dudes in t shirts with the umbrella logo. its a lot more mainstream than it used to be even if it isnt on the level of fifa or madden

Played for about 4 hours and not sure how to feel about it yet

I was kind of bored to be honest. Came out of the tutorial cave and tried to see if I could get to an island. Couldn't. The beach didn't really have anything except a shop guy and a horse jump thing I couldn't use yet.

Got my but kicked by the gold guy on the gold horse.

Then managed to find 2 giants pulling a big wagon. Killed them because they just kinda stood still and got a great axe out of it >__>

I just hate how I feel compelled to stealth every enemy because who knows if it's some badass or if they'll call over 12 others.

theres a cave on the beach that leads to the island if you're talking about where i think you mean.

and the enemies ive seen thus far that summon others look distinct. like the godrick knights that do it for instance have a big herald's horn on their belt for example

the fake ukranian superhero soldier stories that keep coming out on twitter are reaching a point where i cant tell if people are propagandizing or trolling anymore
