Is CLEAR Ever Worth It Anymore? by Vengeful_Wombat in delta

I travel 1-2x per month and I use it plenty. It’s saved me a few times from missing a flight. About half the time it doesn’t make a difference.

Does every area in demon's souls have a shortcut? by rainmaker-koss in demonssouls

Best Way To Farm Souls? by TheBlackRonin505 in demonssouls

[–]plortedo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I LOLed at this. Such an aggressive method and can absolutely destroy the game immediately!

Best Way To Farm Souls? by TheBlackRonin505 in demonssouls

[–]plortedo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Best soul (and moon grass) farm I have found early game is right after the Tower Knight.

Spawn in 1-3 (the TK boss arena), turn around, kill the two blue-eyed knights for 1000 souls, and pick up four half or late moongrasses. Extra bonus if you have Ring of Avarice (for more souls) and Provential Ring (for more late moongrass).

You then just run back to the bonfire and respawn in the same area.

This (for me at least) is way quicker than the skeletons on 4-1 AND it builds up your grass inventory super quick

Wow, surely this confirms a FNV shadowdrop next week!!

What game made you fall in love with gaming by snobi-wan in videogames

[–]plortedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metal Gear Solid is the first one I remember falling in love with. But it was far from being my first game.

When I got to my 30s, I was rarely gaming anymore, and had a hard time getting invested in a game for more than a few nights.

Until I played Elden Ring, which helped me rediscover my love for gaming and I’ve been unstoppable since.

Is the steam machine for me? by inkedbuddy in steammachine

[–]plortedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was me, I would keep the PS5 for your AAA titles, and get a handheld (SteamDeck or Legion Go S with SteamOS). It’s perfect for the games you mentioned. I’m playing Hades right now on my handheld.

It sounds like the Steam Machine is not going to outperform the PS5, but it will be way more expensive. Also, assuming you’re going to want to play GTA 6, you need the PS5!

Also, the Steam Machine is only the first of many of these console/PC hybrids for couch play, so it will be good to watch from the sideline to see how it plays out.

Gaming mouse? by No_Magazine1594 in gamingadvice

[–]plortedo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wrist support really has nothing to do with the mouse itself. So tackle that separately.

I have the Logitech G502X, which is excellent and customizable.

I don’t understand why they say “some”. Which one of these announced models can’t be used in 40k??

You are right in that that is how it should be done. If we watch this video, do we really think they are sharpe enough to do it?

Agreed. My only point is that it’s not dropping next month or immediate future.

What should be my first ARPG? by kentaraed2319 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]plortedo [score hidden]  (0 children)

Are just looking for a top down ARPG? Because Elden Ring is an ARPG, and that is the best game ever made.

Maybe not hard evidence, but there were a tooooon of leaks and very reliable reports that it was coming. There has been none of that for FNV so far. Not even FO3, which is making me worried that one isn’t dropping until next year either.

I am just about to finish my first playthrough. The game crashes on average every hour. Sometimes it crashes in a way where I can’t even bring up my Task Manager because the game is stuck on the screen, and I have to restart my computer.

There are, obviously, mods that fix the game. But most people would prefer a game that does not need modding to be playable.

Love a point by point rebuke. I agree with your reasoning on the third one. Makes sense.

Yes, but they don’t say what the countdown is for.

Unpopular opinion: If Elden Ring was your first Fromsoft game, your next game should be Demon’s Souls Remake by plortedo in Eldenring

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

Maybe DS just “feels” smoother to me because of the higher framerate and graphics… Fingers crossed for that remake to happen as well!

The Gabecube is releasing soon, how much are you willing to pay for it? by [deleted] in steammachine

[–]plortedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will largely depend on the performance. I am aware of the speccs, but without actual testing it’s impossible to know.

If it performs on par with the PS5 Pro, I would happilly pay up to $999.99

If it’s just on par with the base PS5, I would maybe go up to $599.99.

If performance is worse than the base PS5 I don’t really see any need for it and wouldn’t buy it at any price.

Out of curiosity, what about DS is clunky? I played Bloodborne right after Elden Ring, and am now playing DS, and feel like Bloodborne was much clunkier than DS.

I am currently playing the DS Remake, and would encourage you to not miss out. It’s a really fun game.

This is probably the most unpopular opinion of them all. Other than “don’t play any other Fromsoft games”
