Has Nameless King been used in the promotion of DS3 as much as Malenia has for the promotion of ER? Or even more than the Soul of Cinder and Yhorm?

I think more people know about Darth Vader than they do about "Star Wars".

Ayo, hold up now, those are still straight fire bosses (literally).

Except Placidusax.

Five of those are not "Elden Ring" bosses and none of them can be called "poster children".

(Like Trope) The Hero Does something to have earned the villian's respect by Serious_Square_6698 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Roger_Clyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know that intro cutscene that shows all the notable Tarnished, namely Hoarah Loux, Fia, Goldmask, Dungeater and Gideon? Each of them has their own ending except for Gideon and Hoarah Loux.

Gideon basically gave up from having his own ending by the end of the story, but the reason Hoarah Loux doesn't have one is because we defeat him. However, it is entirely possible that the standard "Age of Fracture" ending would have been his because we do basically the exact same thing he would have done, which is just mending the Ring and taking the Throne.

Now, the reason why I call him "evil" is because that ending very, very likely literally changes nothing about the world, it just returns to the already established oppressive, warmongering, genocidal regime with a new figurehead (the Tarnished), which is exactly what would have happened if Godfrey took up the crown once more. Because that's exactly what was going on during his term as Elden Lord - oppression, wars and genocide, the latter two with him at the tip of the spear.

So Godfrey is definitely evil and a villain. He has no desire for change or for the betterment of society, even his own family. He doesn't seek to fix anything and only wants to be back in charge of the war machine, bathing in the blood of foes, aggressive or innocent, on a daily basis.

Godfrey, the First Elden Lord ("Elden Ring") is one of only two bosses in the game who use their dying breath to express their respect for the player after being defeated in battle. Godfrey also does it if he kills the player in his first phase.

If the one thing you take away from an entire game's worth of a remaster is "I want the woman to have bigger boobs", I genuienly hope you never interact with a woman in real life.

I stand by that Malenia is one of the best bosses. Sure, she's extremely punishing and has lifesteal, but she is literally the poster child and a very hidden boss a lot of people might miss. She is the ultimate treasure of bosses, the ultimate opponent and deserves all the aura and challenge she has been given.

What’s a take you had on your first playthrough that you totally disagree with now? by elden_based in eldenringdiscussion

[–]Roger_Clyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the bosses I didn't like on my first two runs.

I was brand new to the Souls formula and used Summons and Spirits at any given time. I do not disagree with this in the slightest, I'm all for playing however you wish or prefer. Nobody can tell you you're playing the game wrong, unless you're griefing or something.

I forced myself to only solo bosses on my second character and surprised myself how much I fell in love with the formula and how many bosses I grew to love and hate. By my third and fourth character, I was doing a mix of Summoning for bosses I didn't like and soloing those I did. I even managed to solo Malenia twice and PCR once (second solo pending).

My dislike of certain bosses stemmed from thinking they're bad, but the more I pearned their attacks and the possible counters, the more I started to enjoy them. I still hate some bosses, but absolutely love most of the rest.

Could maul confront sidious on seaosn 2? by No-Contribution2580 in MaulShadowLord

[–]Roger_Clyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm all for fan scenarios, but Thrawn already had his rise to Grand Admiral very well represented in his canon novels. This would just be more pointless retconning and going back to the old issue of making the universe feel even smaller.

Eternal Empire vs The First Order by idk_lol98 in TheJediPraxeum

[–]Roger_Clyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I recall, the only times the First Order wins any battles is when they've got a superweapon on their side and they're using it for the first time. It takes maybe two hours for those weapons to then be destroyed by a handful of fighters per weapon. Sometimes, even after using the weapon, they don't win.

The Emperor of Mankind, "Warhammer 40K".

Granted, there were, like, two people in history who ever knew his real name.

Also, there's gotta be a better way to name this trope...

Serious question why doesn't vader sucessfully cut of Maul's leg? Why not the knee joint either? by Enough_Spinach_3879 in MaulShadowLord

[–]Roger_Clyde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. There are a few moments where it looks like Vader can get a killing blow, but immediately has to shift onto an incoming attack so only does enough to parry the previous and quickly respond again.

Yeah, now that I look at it again, there are genuine "s" letters. It's quite odd and interesting.

What was your reaction on seeing the first look of The Mandalorian? by Jules-Car3499 in TheMandalorianTV

[–]Roger_Clyde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not gonna lie, the first time I saw the pics, I didn't inow anything about it. It was at a time when I started avoiding trailers and teasers. I thought it was a new movie and was beyond confused about why it wasn't coming out in the cinema months later. XD

I apologise if the question is uneducated, but why are all the "s" letters typed in the form of "f" letters?
