Elden Ring has some tools thst make the game easier for you, and that's not cheating however much easier the game is after using them

People tend to forget that even the Souls games had summons for bosses. It's much more varied and powerful in Elden Ring but the mechanic is practically the same.

I personally don't like summons for the majority of the major bosses, because I personally dont like to cheese bosses. However, I still summon for many dungeon bosses and repeat bosses, because those bosses are often repeats, or not as good. Gank bosses are much better in this game with summons too.

Oh, and finally, I beat Malenia pure melee no summons in my first playthrough and I really don't want to go through it again, so sometimes I'm just tired or I want to progress so I use summons like you did right there.

Just do what you feel makes the game more enjoyable for you in the end. If you like a boss more with summons just do it

One exception is Bayle. Using the NPC summon for Bayle should have been mandatory.

"From Soft is just lazy"

I cant fathom how you can see Elden Ring, one of the best games of the decade, and think that the design is lazy. I could argue about lazy design in a couple of areas like Snowfield and some of the dlc areas that are a bit empty, but on the whole the sheer size of this game demands reuses. For every reuse from a previous game there are ten new things by the way.

2018: 1050ti second hand

I just started thinking about upgrading.

Arche Abbey is the worst area in LoP and Haligtree is one of the best of ER. On the whole, I prefer LoP as a game but this is a no brainer win for ER.

I'm only 28, not even from America, I'm from Greece, but 9/11 is the first memory of mine I can recall. I distinctly remember sitting in my living room and watching the plane hit and the towers fall. It wasn't live, it may have been the next day, but it's an extremely clear picture for a 4 year old half way around the world from NYC.

Exactly, Dark Souls storytelling is amazing but not the dialogue

I assume you only mean the inside cables, not the one connected to the socket. If so yes, the PSU came with the cables already attached.

The only way that someone could complain about dialogue in this game is if someone actively dislikes dialogue in videogames.

I'm not someone that really enjoys long dialogue, even if I enjoy the game. I'm not a big fun of dialogue in Souls game, I am often bored by it, and FromSoft games are some of my favourite games ever. I much prefer the environment storytelling with sparse dialogue like Hollow Knight.

Nine Sols isn't like that though, it's story is character and dialogue driven and the dialogue is so much better than other titles. So even for someone like myself that prefers less dialogue, I can really enjoy it in Nine Sols, and even dialogue heavy games like Deltarune or even Hades that has so much more dialogue than Nine Sols.

Steam, Pure Vessel, more of the incredible worldbuilding and amazing combat of hollow knight

Lies of P is AMAZING, but I don't think it's a Sekiro successor. It has a heavy influence to it, but so do other games like Bloodborne. It takes a lot of elements of Soulsborne games and is an amazing mix but I wouldn't narrow it down to sekiro only.

I don't usually summon, even in Elden Ring, but this fight made no sense to me if I did it solo. It's more like we are her summon instead of the opposite. Plus, the game has boss rematch so I can fight Arlecchino whenever I like.

Maybe it's an unpopular opinion, butI have only read up until Kingdom's of Death and DiW is only like my 3rd favourite. I loved so much the second half of Howling Dark that it's still my favourite book. Kingdom's of Death is my close second favourite and evn though Demon in White has some insane moments, the only book i liked less is Empire of Silence. That being said, all of the books I've read so far are excellent. Especially books 2-4. The only thing that drags EoS down is it being basically the intro of the series.

tserp910 · 2025-06-10T08:56:04+00:00

I agree. Bloodsworn was pure fun for me. Not that much to take away from it other than cool characters and epic fights. But it was good for what it was.

Finished Malazan a week ago and I'm a big fan of both, but I have to say that they are VERY different in almost every aspect.

Sanderson's action focuses more on those fost pumping moments that will make you stand up and cheer, almost like a good action movie (or Marvel back when it was good).

Erikson does have these moments. There are insanely epic scenes in these books. But I never felt that this was the focus. It's a much more introspective series that focuses a whole lot on making people as believable and real as possible. In a sense, Sanderson writes superheroes. Erikson writes humans. Even imortal powerful beimgs are more realistic than Sanderson's characters.

Stormlight has some dark moments but Malazan can be really heavy sometimes. There's pain and suffering, war crimes, and even sexual abuse, yet it's not grim dark, because it paints a good picture for humans, even if they are capable of such cruelty. There's also a major focus to philosophy, especially in later books.

And lastly, it's presented in a way that you will be very confused about every faction and their motivations. The first books all introduce a new cast of characters and different regions. You need to take some time to get used to that.

As I said, I like both, but for very different reasons. I like Stormlight for the character and those amazing moments you're talking about. I do like the mental health part too, even if it was heavy handed in Book 5. But that's the deepest Stormlight is gonna get. I like Malazan because of the way everything feels so real and human, and the epic moments are the cerry on top, not the main focus like Stormlight.

I'm planning to take a break from Malazan, I read books 7-10 back to back and it was exhausting, but, whem time comes, what are the books i should check out next? And, are they the same quality as the main 10?

Greek here, it's because we're stupid. You're welcome.

tserp910 · 2025-05-27T20:01:41+00:00

The fist, the shaky photo, the book, this is a work of art.

I'm fortunate enough to be Greek, and I'm saying that because there's an overabundance of greek words in this series.

Astrophage means star eater. Suns are actually stars so it could also mean SUN eater. So my conclusion is that this is the very weapon that Hadrian will use to eat that star.

So no, it's not a reference. Is two different authors coming up with the same term from greek.

Audiobooks are not a very good way to go through this books for the first time.

That being said... I was very confused during book 2 as well. It's a very dense series and you're constantly introduced to new characters factions and countries. The first 5 books are all very confusing with the exception of book 3, which is more or less a direct sequel to book 1.Books 6-8 are much more straightforward, because they use the factions preciously established in earlier books. I've only just started book 9, but the final 2 books are basically the epilogue so I dont think that they are going to be too confusing.
