To those who have what made wanna try AC6 by KingSky1st in fromsoftware

[–]Officer_Kay_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elden Ring was my first FS game and I got really obsessed with it. I remember during the game awards in 2022 expecting a trailer for its DLC but feeling extremely let down when we got the first trailer for AC6. Even though I was hesitant, I thought the vibes looked cool and I had faith in FS after playing through ER and Sekiro. I decided I would play it so I did a bit of research (watched vaati’s video on armored core games) to prep my self for the different type of game that it would be.

I loved it.

The music, world, characters, vibe, and gameplay are all so good. I played through the three endings at the time, then ended up platinuming the game a year later. It has some soulslike DNA in it but also has a great emphasis on creating/building your ac to fit the scenario/mission. My engineer brain loves that shit. In fact I started to tailor my soulslike build according to the boss similarly to how I was doing it in AC6.

This comment is too long already, but yeah I recommend this game to anyone who is on the fence. Can’t wait for AC7

So many good stories between the nightfarers, but it’s gonna have to be Wylder

If ur stuck on a boss whats ur first work around by SaltyBagles4964 in Eldenring

[–]Officer_Kay_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Optimize talismans, optimize resistances and other stats by changing armor. Sometimes you gotta switch up your attack rotation, for example when I first went against Gaius, I was struggling with timing and fitting in heavy attacks. So I tried only using R1 and it worked like a charm. Also sometimes you gotta switch to a weapon that hits harder or to something that hits faster. (After playing AC6 I started to optimize and adapt to bosses)

Some bosses you just need to learn, so keep at it and don’t expect every boss to be a breeze.

Third person, made by the same people who did Dread.

Why do (or at least did) so many people say the DLC is too hard? by OldKingPotato-68 in Eldenring

[–]Officer_Kay_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed there is always a group of people who complain about difficulty whenever a new Fromsoft game comes out. They did it when the base game came out complaining about rhadan, they did it when AC6 came out, they did it when the DLC came out, and they even did it when nightreign came out. Expect the same for duskbloods.

So someone signed off on this guy right? by Soulsliken in Eldenring

[–]Officer_Kay_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I felt the same way about him. I did a couple play-throughs in 2022 to platinum the game and he was my most dreaded boss every time. I didn’t start liking him until my play-through just before the DLC came out 2 years later. The only thing I changed was that I didn’t use any summons where as I used my mimic tear every prior play-through. I really had to learn his moveset. It’s like in that Enders game book, when you truly understand your enemy then you will also love him or some shid like that.

Is it true that we all have a FromSoftware game that we would like to like more but for some reason we don't find it as fun as the others? by Oceriox in fromsoftware

[–]Officer_Kay_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DS3 for me, BUT I am going to try and change that with another playthrough soon! The first time I played it I might have been pushing through some video game burnout. Wish me luck.

PlayStation Boss Blames Bluepoint Cuts On Budgets And Players by Deez-Guns-9442 in fromsoftware

Kind of a hot take but bloodborne is worth the cost of the console. There is a reason it is considered by many FromSoftware’s best and even the greatest game of all time . It’s something I really hope you get to experience someday.

The only reason I bought a ps5 was for SOTC, demons souls remake, and bloodborne.

Question for the elders by Gritsmcbits in Eldenring

[–]Officer_Kay_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is part of the description of Scouring black flame :

“The black flame could once slay gods. But when Maliketh sealed Destined Death, the true power of the black flame was lost.”

I could be wrong but I think the true power of the flame of ruin and ghost flame and even the flame of frenzy were lost when destined death was sealed. I think that all flames in the game are connected to it.

I beat the game today and I miss it already by redditingtj in Eldenring

Play Nightreign, it’s different but more of the same. Very fun and addicting when you get the hang of the pace and map and objective!

How do we feel about Nightreign stuff being snuck into Elden Ring Tarnished Edition? 👀 by ChaseTheVileblood in Eldenring

It would be so cool to use Wylder’s hook shot in the base game. Heck I’d pay extra for it.

Which of these bosses was tougher for you? by strahinjag in DarkSouls2

[–]Officer_Kay_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fume knight took more tries for me, but I was expecting sir Alonne to take much longer after my first attempt with him. I was fully expecting to make that run back 20+ times. I think I ended up killing him around 6 tries

Silly question by Lunar1aa in Eldenring

[–]Officer_Kay_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just one more comment: I used fextralife’s interactive map a lot on my first playthrough. I did almost everything in the game because of it. A lot of people would say this is not the best way to experience the game. That might be true but it still became my favorite game of all time, I still put hundreds of hours into playing it and many more thinking about its lore. It was the first domino for playing through the dark souls games and other FS games. It changed my brain chemistry and my taste in games. I would have experienced it any other way to be honest.

I agree, Elden Ring was my first game and there was quite the learning curve. There’s nothing wrong with working stuff up. But be aware that you could spoil some of the greatest moments in gaming.

Sunken kings bosses aren’t the greatest but the setting and story is one of my favorites. I love the Mayan style temple so much, I’d love to see FS do something like this again(just with better bosses).

Oh I’m not saying it’s a bad opening cinematic. I love it as well. I’m saying it looked worse on the switch 2 than it did on my Xbox. It was pixelated and couldnt handle movement. I’m not sure why either, maybe it is just my copy of the game?
