    Still cant beat The Tree Sentinel. Best I can do is halfway. Got margrit at 17 and still cant get this dude at 23.

    it looks like there might be level requirements even though it doesnt say. Ive had it equipped since I got it and it did nothing. I just bumped up a few levels - went from strength 12 to 16 bc I do no physical damage and now it suddenly works. It actually replaced parry which was totally useless in this game

    How do ashes of war work? I have storm stomp. I rested at a site of grace, went into the ashes of war menu. I equipped it on my short sword, which said it also increases it to a quality item. but i have so far not figured out what it does.

    Level 35? Holy shit. What direction did you explore in? I feel like ive explored most of the first area after unlocked the map. West Limgrave. I beat Magrit as I mentioned above but only at level 17 and it took me like 15 tries. maybe im rushing too much by following the guiding light, but i have killed about 4-5 side bosses who all went down pretty easy.

    Well I beat Magrit…but he also killed me at the same time. When I respawned my runes were glowing on the ground so i grab em…..and I got zero runes. I read the reward is 12K runes? fuck me, that is a total motivation destroyer. Thats like 3-4 level ups.

    speaking of this…I noticed before dungeons, theres a statue and you activate it and it says “the summoning well is active” or something like that. Im assuming that means you can call in another player for help? But how do you do it?

    thanks this is helpful. My goal was to get strength to 16 since im finding a bunch of swords that require it. My tactic has been to use magic to damage the enemy as much as possible then move in for melee critical strikes. they dont really tell you what the differences are between faith, intelligence, mind and arcane. I havent put anything into them but one point of mind bc it bumped my FP up a few points.

    Aight. Yall sucked me in and Ive played like 4-5hrs today. I went Astrologer bc I wanted to experiment with some ranged magic and melee. I also took the golden seed as my keepsake. Here are my current stats. Im level 16. Im not quite sure what I should he dumping points into so ive been doing a little strength, vigor mostly. Them did a little mind and endurance. can you vets give me pointers? Also what gear should I look out for. I found a cave with a ton of smithing stone so ive been upgrading my starting short sword snd staff bc I havent found anything I can equip (not enough strength). I have found some decent armor pieces and I bought a better shield and leveled it a little. so far ive my biggest issue is parrying. I just cant figure out the timing on any mob or boss. Im like 0/200 in trying to do it.

    I was watching a Swedish dude on Twitch play. I never watch a SP game stream, but I was so intrigued based on the insane review scores, I had to take a look. I think I wound up watching for like 2-3hrs! I have to say it looks really good. Its just oozing with atmosphere. The freedom of exploration was really giving me a hardcore BOTW vibe. And there are checkpoints everywhere. There wasn’t really a time where he went far without finding another one. And it seems from what i saw there is usually a checkpoint right outside main boss arenas. im 13hrs into Horizon and while its good, it hasnt sunk its claws in me. I may have to pick this up.

    This sums me up perfectly. 🤣

    Im just going to spolier alert my whole comment

    the last one I tried was the Demons Souls remaster for PS5. In the first area, I want to say I mightve beaten an optional boss, but then I got to the part where you have to run across the bridge and then get to the main boss. Mustve tried it for 1 1/2hrs and having to start all the way back before the bridge every attempt was pure torture.
  14. atom631
    cool. Ill def keep my eye on this and see what the verdict is. its really not the difficulty that bothers me in souls games. Its the repetitiveness. The starting back at the beginning and having to memorize the level in order to progress. You play for 2hrs and you make little to no progress. It just wears me out. I cant imagine how frustrating it might be to trek through an open world for 45-1hr and get one shot and have to start all the way back at some checkpoint.
  15. atom631
    So I havent been following this game too much. is the consensus that this is going to be as difficult as normal souls games, just set in an open world? how are they going to handle dying in an open world? Does everything respawn in the exact same spots? With Del Torro’s involvement - will this game have an actual story past the opening cut scene?

    this is what I was looking for. I played it on XSX. Next time I jump in will be if/when they release a big Witcher 3 style DLC.

    what youre speaking of is balancing. That all can be fixed. When I say the core of this game is broken - its the map design, the UI, the stupid mid-game attachment wheel…its all terrible. To fix all that is to completely redo the game. im a huge BF fan I would love to eat my words, but I dont see it.
  18. atom631
    oof. After all the negative feedback, ability to try for 10Hrs through EA….sometimes ya gotta own your mistakes! in all seriousness, I really dont see what the can do here to salvage this game. The bugs sure, but the core of this game is fundamentally broken. It would need FF XIV levels of repair to fix it and EA is def not doing that.

    This game deserves to die and the quicker the better. Hopefully that will be a wake up call to Dice/EA. This not a Battlefield game and doesn't deserve to be called one.

    BF2 was awesome. I wouldve loved to see a BF3

    @Bloodporne I ran through the first training level where you hunt down the butcher. i got the hang of the controls. its an interesting premise. I definitely feel the Left4Dead vibes, but its obv more in-depth. Im sure its lots of fun if theres co-op.

    Getting the error as well.
  23. atom631
    so the $30 includes the DLC as well? seems like a giant simmering crock of shit i need to spend $30 when all i want is the enhancements to the PS5 version. $10 bux i would be OK with.

    We still need to play Hunt. I have it loaded up. now that im between SP games, im ready to give it go.

    Finished GOTG last night. My feelings about the game that I stated in previous posts havent changed. Its just an absolutely fun romp the entire time. The banter is just incredible and brings the characters to life and really set this game as something truly unique. I hope we see this in other games as well. The gameplay definitely got better, but still not amazing. the huddle mechanic was cool, but i never quite got the hang of it and i think i would fuck it up more often then get it correct. I really love how the earlier choices I made came back in the end and actually had an impact. I dont think it changed the overall outcome, but it was cool to see how it unfolded. Very Mass Effectish (perhaps even more impactful than 3!). I realized I just played 3 outstanding sci-fi games back-to-back. Rift Apart, Andromeda and GOTG. Each unique in their own way and all were excellent. Now the question is what to play next. Im probably 30% of the way in on Valhalla and Id like to finish it. Or do I restart Ghost of Tushima on PS5 (only got about 2hrs in on PS4). I dont really want to be playing anything when Forbidden West drops, bc I am definitely jumping right in to that.
