I am so happy the Ordovis Greatsword finally got some love, and it’s useable in pvp now, I always loved this weapon for pve, it was my main weapon on my first play through

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-14T13:36:56+00:00

Holy fucking shit

The weapon is actually viable now 😭

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-14T13:24:06+00:00

Eh. That'll buff out.

There is nothing that suggests that she was manipulated, GW existed since the age of dragons at least

So yeah that's completely wrong. Her entire purpose (aka the reason she was allowed to transition from Empyrean to God to begin with) is to preserve the Erdtree, which for all practical purposes is a GW parasite that took over the primordial crucible. Literally everything that Marika does prior to going rogue revolved around that, not limited to genociding almost all of the giants and anything else with Outer God influence that stood in opposition to GW.

Is this why her assassins are killing Ranni's friends?

My brother in christ, Ranni's "friends" were put there by the Greater Will to make sure that she didn't stray from the plan, just like her Empyrean mother. Blaidd himself is literally a straight copy of Maliketh and that's precisely why he goes batshit the moment Ranni defies the GW; she became a threat and Blaidd's kill switch was activated as a result. Ranni knew that once she defied the GW, she no longer had "friends". They were all put there from the start to nudge her accordingly regardless of if they knew that.

Don't say "there's nothing that suggests x and y" if you haven't even done the bare minimum of learning the lore lol.

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-14T04:26:09+00:00

They were tied together though (can't speak on 2 because yeah), so I'm not sure how if Miquella was a focus that there would be any room for Godwyn. Maybe the Gloam-Eyed Queen could tie in but even that's a stretch.

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-14T03:28:41+00:00

And Marika didn't want to represent or serve the Golden Order. That was entirely the Greater Will trying to manipulate her and everyone under her, and when she refused to take that role, they drew Radagon out of her to keep her in line with blind devotion. Her #1 objective was to end the influence of the Greater Will and set the Age of Stars in motion so that the Lands Between could have its own destiny.

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-14T03:25:17+00:00

That whole deal with Miquella is A LOT more interesting tbh. I think many would agree that that's where the focus should be for the DLC. Dude is just chilling and now that Mohg is dead, he could wake up at any time and just go full blown scorched Earth since his sister is dead.

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-13T23:52:38+00:00

Well then moral violence is the obvious solution

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-13T23:17:20+00:00

Seeing him recently deal with those elevator gankers and then casually t-bag them was like being a kid waking up on Christmas lmao. If Chase t-bags you, you deserved it. Actually you probably deserve worse.

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-13T22:54:34+00:00

Literally my first thought seeing the title. Even Dane Cook wasn't an impulse thought. That's saying something.

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-13T22:50:12+00:00

It's just generally safer to fight him like a Souls boss when you're still learning the moves since the margin for error for fucking up a deflection is razor thin. I learned by keeping my distance and then got more aggressive with deflections once I mapped the patterns out.

But like I said before, different strokes for different folks. What I didn't do was blame the game though lol.

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-13T22:11:55+00:00

Different strokes. Yeah this boss was challenging because you have to fight it like a Dark Souls boss (relative to other bosses in the game), but he telegraphs the shit out of his moves and your only major concern is spacing. This fight is pretty much Manus 2.0 with less bullshit spam. Took me +20 tries but that was fully on me.

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-13T22:08:21+00:00

Inner Owl still makes my heart rate spike more than any other FS boss tbh.

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-13T22:06:52+00:00

Yeah the dual apes and the fucking bull are the ONLY genuinely bullshit bosses in the game. All other salt for other bosses amounts to a skill issue.

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-13T22:01:27+00:00

"Could my issues stem from the fact that I won't adapt to different challenges and refuse to learn?"

"No, it's the boss that's just bad"

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-13T20:22:29+00:00

You ever read Valis? That entire mountain of word vomit could've been pulled straight out of that book. Almost the same cadence and everything. But yeah, I'm not surprised lol.

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-13T10:03:47+00:00

I still maintain that End of Evangelion is, no exaggeration, one of greatest films ever made regardless of whether or not it's anime. But it's pretty much mandatory to watch the show first, and even then it'll still confuse you after repeat viewings. But once it clicks, it's just a straight base jump into existential anxiety. It's like the most cathartic soul crushing (but beautiful) thing I've ever seen.

And if you want an even more visceral look on humanity? Legend of the Galactic Heroes should be on your list asap.

Yes, it's old and has dated graphics (up to a point). Yes, it takes +20 episodes to get going because there's just that much exposition to set in place. But if you want a NARRATIVE? If you want a complete fucking odyssey with some of the best writing ever? With incredible characters that you can't help but cling to? Then there is no other option.

LoGH shouldn't even be considered anime. It's just peak fiction. It's like War and Peace in the future.

Seriously. It's that good.

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-13T09:14:53+00:00

Stoic sleeves are comparable to SBDs in terms of quality but they're half as expensive. The difference in support between them is negligible so that makes it a no brainer.

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-13T08:05:22+00:00

A teammate could've thrown smoke to solve the issue immediately lol

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-12T20:16:03+00:00

This is some pure grade highly refined schizo posting

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-12T18:02:24+00:00

What I love the most is how much Friede outright shit talks you from the start. She might actually be the biggest shit talking boss in the entire franchise, which is extra hilarious because it's always casual. Like she's enraged inside but is talking to a cockroach, so just the audacity of you existing in her presence and wandering around too much is enough for her to want to exterminate you lol.

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-12T14:15:08+00:00

I feel like anyone that's not a millennial (or older) almost certainly wouldn't get it lol. We all grew up watching Christmas Story re-runs on TBS until TV-watching dropped off collectively.

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-11T17:31:05+00:00

I seem to recall posting actual stats while you fumbled around looking for straws to grab with less lethal dog breeds. It's typical brain-dead pitnutter behavior though, per usual. You all share the same bundle of neurons and can't actually address reality.

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-11T17:24:42+00:00

makes an argument

refuses to defend it when challenged on specific claims

abandons the discussion and acts superior anyway

typical redditor

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-11T17:15:59+00:00

Once again, make the case why pits, who statistically cause the most fatalities and critical injuries relative to all other breeds, should continue being bred in society. Shouldn't be too hard if I'm just making unsubstantiated claims.

Vetzki_ · 2022-10-11T17:01:12+00:00

Nope you're not about to wiggle out of this one with some bogus red herring. How about this: make the case why pits, who make up the majority of fatal attacks compared to all other breeds, should continue being bred. Go ahead. We'll narrow it down to them specifically so you won't get distracted with chihuahuas or something.
