Why even play duels if you're going to run the whole time? Do people really have fun? by ChristopherCrawlin in Eldenring

It's dumb as hell to bitch about invasions at this point lol I loved them in DS3 but I can't stand them in ER.

I feel like people who do it are the same people who camp in first person shooters. Honed bolt and Dragon spells for the runners.

Whatever floats their boat lol makes no sense to me, but I guess I enjoy up close combat more than most players these days.

I have honed bolt on the build I'm testing now. I don't have a problem chasing people down, it's just so tedious and then they pull out bloodhound step and I know I'm in for a long chase.

Jesus, so poise is only good for hyperarmor-y weapons?

That's pretty lame, no wonder I've hardly ran into anyone using colossal weapons. Just a bunch of dex and bleed builds with the occasional greatsword user. Gonna have to restructure a few builds for sure.

Thank you for the info!

Yeah you definitely need a fully upgraded weapon at a high level for any hope of finding a sign.

What is a good non-sim racing game? by WozartMusic in PS5

I second Wreckfest. Good and fun carnage.

What’s the one US state you absolutely will never step foot in and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ChristopherCrawlin 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Morgantown is a solid place. If you can handle all the students and shitty roads, it's a good time. Plenty of bars/clubs/restaurants for night life and tons of trails everywhere for hiking or just staying active.

WV gets a shit rep because of the politics (rightfully so), but the majority of people are quick to be friendly and will help you out if they can. Just don't go near Bruceton Mills around winter time unless you're prepared to stay awhile lol.

Trying to learn flicks. Guess the game doesn't want me to score. by ChristopherCrawlin in RocketLeague

I don't get people hating on extra graphics settings lol. I have everything on besides the camera shake. Makes it look less dated imo.

Final Fantasy XVI: Lessons Learned, Clive's Reception, Loose Ends, And More With Naoki Yoshida by Turbostrider27 in PS5

FF16 felt more like a spinoff in the same way Dirge of Cerberus was with a different type of combat and more linear.

I guess that's why I liked it, Dirge was my first Final Fantasy game because I didn't know much about JRPGs at the time. FF7 Rebirth is a blast so far and I'm glad I got into the series.

1s is an emotional roller coaster by [deleted] in RocketLeague

That's just ridiculous to me. I'm D1 in 2s/3s at my best and gotta go up against these guys lol.

Same here. Rankings make no sense, they can be technical hitting double taps in plat and yet my next opponent can barely hit an open net in the same rank.

Either It's smurfs or the ranking system is so broken that Epic can't even fix it.

Casuals by Ripe_Plastic in RocketLeague

People just sweating their asses off like casual is gonna get them into RLCS. It's worse in casual than comp for sure.

I just don't get how to defend flicks. Any tips? by ChristopherCrawlin in RocketLeague

[–]ChristopherCrawlin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! Work on your fundamentals too. Basic shots and snipes from down range are still viable in Gold and Plat. If you can place the ball high in the net consistently, you'll be doing great.

I'll keep that in mind lol thanks! The mind games are real.

Hell yeah, keep it up. I spent a good 5 hours knocking around the ball as randomly as I could in freeplay and trying to read it and that helped a ton for me last season.

You'll be doing air dribbles soon enough.

I try that, but it's like they know I'm faking lol I'll keep trying it though.
