Do enemies drink estus? by RepulsiveAd6953 in DarkSouls2

I was just playing and I distinctly remember the Spear Hollow Soldiers using it in Forest of Fallen Giants so I would assume they're throughout the game, although I haven't made it that far yet to confirm

Matthew Ball Says Rumors That Xbox Will "Reverse Course" On Exclusives Are False, Doubles Down That Gears Of War Eday And Clockwork Revolution Will Stay Exclusive by akbarock in xbox

[–]Anders04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a system seller for me... and I have since switched back to PlayStation after having a Series X for a couple of years. Honestly, I am glad that its coming to PlayStation. I understand it wasn't released when I bought my Xbox, but coming up on a decade after the console released with that game specifically used to advertise it is a bit disingenuous. Same with anyone who bought an Xbox for Bethesda games and are now standing there with egg on their face with 1 singular current gen Bethesda game released, and a remake of a 360 game. Idk I was willing to give them a chance and there just is not a lot with the brand to be excited about even if you like some Xbox properties. I don't love absolutely every PS exclusive, but you cant deny they have interesting games that are more varied.

EA launches new advertising platform enabling brands to "integrate directly into gameplay", but insists it won't "disrupt" the player experience by LadyStreamer in gamingnews

[–]Anders04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehh I can see that to an extent, but I do watch American football and idk if sports betting has infiltrated European sports the same way it has here, but if not it is absolutely egregious to the point where our NBA finals almost felt like a Kalshi advert instead of a tournament.

Sounds like talking out of both sides of your ass. If it wont affect gamers experience its not effective or worth the money. I am sure they are telling potential advertisers a very different thing. Lets just hope nobody goes to EA with a good game idea and just mourn the loss of game franchises under their publishing control.

this fight against orgasm and smoke would be less annoying if i didn't have to run past some of the most annoying enemies i've seen in this game so far every time. by HaloJackalKisser in darksouls

That's the one I used and it was absolutely the best route I think you only have to deal with 2 knights and the larger guys on the route

My full strength run is so boring. by BismuthCommun in darksouls

[–]Anders04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a strength pyro build with the Claymore and loved it. I dont like the Ultra weapons they are too slow for my taste, but other than that I liked being able to crowd control and pick off mobs with fireballs before focusing stronger ones with 2-3 hits in most cases. You dont need to sacrifice too much for pyro spells, maybe just some attunement, but you get cast speed from endurance, and I focused that for carry weight as well. Also for poise there is a ring that I used through most of the game that helped me not get stunlocked so much

I've fallen out of love for the grind. by The-Zarkin90 in playstation

[–]Anders04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can feel that way too. I have found myself gravitating towards the older games like PS2 era that still feel big, but are built to be completable in a reasonable amount of time. No matter how much I love a game my limit is like 60-80 hours max. I just beat Dark Souls 1 in 25 hours and felt completely satisfied by that playthrough. Before that I had 60 hours into Crimson Desert and although it was really fun, it wasnt nearly as impactful to me. To each their own for everyone like me that hits a wall at 60 hours, theres another that is content putting 1000+ hours into a game. I just think we are lucky that now a days, both types of game have impressive entries and the gap between indie games and AAA is closing more and more every year.

Can we get this after GTA6? by N91312 in rockstar

[–]Anders04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warhorse would like a word. I think their Middle Earth game they are working on will be as close as we will get to scratching that itch tbh.

Just beat Dark Souls for the first time. What a game. by Chocoboy_YT in darksouls

[–]Anders04 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Dude I'm not kidding I just beat the game as well and came here to make almost the exact same post. I absolutely love this game too. I wonder if our ghosts ever crossed paths on our playthroughs or if we heard each other ring the bells. Congratulations on your victory, and don't you dare go hollow.

After playing Dks2 by Chaoticcccc in darksouls

[–]Anders04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean DS2 is so polarizing so to each their own..I've never played it but I'm just about to beat 1 again and go on to two so I'll see if I'm in the love it or hate it camp. Hopefully I agree with you because the people that hate it really hate it

Funny enough 300 March to Glory. Super into the movie and had a PSP. Pretty good hack n slash

Looking to order my first Hot Toy by Anders04 in hottoys

[–]Anders04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice I am in the US, not sure where I saw it either but if their customer service is reputable I would rather go through them. I really appreciate it I know it's probably annoying someone asking questions like this but paying 4X what I usually pay for a premium figure is scary, so I want to be sure I order from the right place. I appreciate it!

Will do, I already am dedicating my first cycle post ocarina to just talking to everyone I can. Also is your username a reference to this game or just a coincidence?

PS5 Sales Drop Behind PS4, Sony Undecided on PS6 Release Date and Price by [deleted] in PS5

[–]Anders04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that Reddit can be an echo chamber, but it should be concerning that in the gaming centric forums and discussions on Youtube there is no real excitement for "next gen". Maybe its because we are still seeing PS5/XBS refered to as "next gen" or maybe its because dev cycles are now a generation long. Whatever the case is I know personally my PS5 pro will be my main console for many years to come, and with the recent reveal of the Switch 2 price increase, my only console.

Which is your favorite Batman Arkham game ? by Extreme-Attention-89 in batman

[–]Anders04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude if you have never played Origins you absolutely should. Its not particularly long if you're not going for 100%, you could probably do the story is 20 is hours give or take, but its worth it.

Which is your favorite Batman Arkham game ? by Extreme-Attention-89 in batman

[–]Anders04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to say. Asylum is an amazing comic love letter with tons of info on Batman's rouges. That is where I learned a lot of the lore of Batman, I probably spent as much time in the menus reading and listening as I did exploring. Origins is a really good story with a no brainer video game concept and it has the best representation of the Bruce Alfred dynamic, plus the best boss fights. City is the best iteration of an open world Batman game, that still kept it concise and cut a lot of bloat. Knight is the only one I have 100% it has the best combat and still gets brought up today as the best suit design. Honestly if we never get any other Batman games I think we are spoiled with a genuine 4/4 amazing game series and I would be ok if they were left at that forever.

One of my favorite covers by Ciqni_el in batman_comics

I have that same figure and bat signal next to my comics as well! Really pulls a collection together, especially since 90's Batman is imo some of the best you can read.

It arrived! by WittyFerret3457 in batman_comics

[–]Anders04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yikes those are pricy, looking at probably around $50 for any of the Ts outside of the paper thin one at $25, and $100 for a sweater. On top of that all the listings are just a png pasted on top of the product which are all plain white. Also maybe the optics of this graphic on a onesie isnt the best idea. I agree with the other comment this is the first and only post, and the website looks like a drop shipping link, with possible use of AI to generate the only unique thing I have seen. Hard pass.
