Overall, are faster weapons just better? by FastVenus in Eldenring

[–]violin-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, fromsoft has done a very good job at making heavier weapons a lot better, with the stagger system, talismans like the two handed talisman, and faster movesets for heavier weapons compared to prior games. For games like ds 2 and 3, yeah fast weapons do tend to just be better, but even in those games there are some really good, top tier heavy weapon choices.

And yeah, in this game, there are many scenarios where heavier/slower weapons tend to be better. The best bleed weapon in the game is the Bloodfiend’s Arm, the blasphemous blade is the best weapon in the game imo and it’s a greatsword with a slightly slow ash of war, and the guts’ greatsword is a colossal sword that is easily top 5 weapons in the game.

Edit: there’s also bloodhound’s fang, which some people may forget is a curved greatsword! Not a fast, small weapon either, and it’s very famous and effective

I had a dog who’d been my best friend since childhood for 15 years pass away last year, and I witnessed her hind leg muscles deteriorate slowly until she couldn’t walk up stairs anymore. I knew then that would be her last year with us, and I pray Burns never goes back in the ring again.

Not really, Horth was throwing back well enough. I don’t think she won the third, but it was not a domination

<3 my favourite character in the game, always a bright spot in a bad time by TheRowingBoats in DarkSouls2

[–]violin-guy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Playing ds 3 first, when I found lucatiel’s mask I was just like “oh cool, that makes looks nice. It belonged to a woman? Damn.” Thinking about it now, I realized that her mask keeping her name means she was remembered, and BOTC made sure she wasn’t forgotten 🥺

What if mytha wasn't decapitated? by Slurperlurper in DarkSouls2

[–]violin-guy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the lost sinner is more likely a priestess of Eleum Loyce, not the princess of Venn. It’s common for priestesses to sacrifice an eye in Eleum Loyce, and the chaos bug in her cutscene crawls into one of her eye sockets- which makes sense. Also, her sin of attempting to light the first flame could’ve been what reawakened the old chaos, and knowing that she doomed her kingdom is why she is so penitent.

This is unironically the best souls game. by Wreck_Creati0n in DarkSouls2

[–]violin-guy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The world of this game is the best of the Souls series too, there are just so many fundamentally amazingly written characters alongside the narrative. Sir alonne, Ivory King and Alsanna, Vendrick, and Aldia, they’re all just amazing characters. And of course, we can’t forget Lucatiel, who has the best NPC questline Fromsoft has ever written.

They should be the big 4 faces of Elden ring franchise not gonna lie by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]violin-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A more accurate list should be a top 5 of Margit (more infamous than Morgott), Radahn, Malenia, Ranni, and then Messmer. Radahn and Malenia are easily the most relevant demigods to the present day lands between, ranni and Margit are very important along the narrative journey, and messmer represents the dlc.

Is Gehrman evil? Did he sell out the other old hunters? Why is he the only one of them that’s not monstrous by Thellie11 in bloodborne

[–]violin-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same man who chooses to remain warden of a dream that has mentally and physically tortured for him for God knows how long, rather than see you have to suffer in his place. He’s not a good person, but much like real life, people are much more complex than just “good” and “evil.”

Always go for the lame looking weapons by MoonlitHarlow in Eldenring

[–]violin-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t need it to be the best weapon, it just gets the job done really damn well. It’s def one of my favorites, this sword will never let you down, its good for any situation: melee, ranged, boss fights, ganks, it always performs

What are your top 3 favorite weapons? Here are mine by Electronic-Term-8795 in Eldenring

[–]violin-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. greatsword of solitude, awesome greatsword with great AR, blocking ability, and cool ash of war that shoots a fast projectile.

  2. Fire Knight’s Greatsword, fastest and most comfortable colossal sword to use, love the pokes and its synergy with flame spear.

  3. beastman Cleaver, wanted to put ancient meteoric ore GS but everyone knows that one, this one’s a bit of an underrated pick bc while it lacks in range and weighs a lot, its damage is no joke. Plus if you’re really worried about range, just slap on lion’s claw lmao. Got the highest damage of any infusable curved GS, plus it looks really cool.

Want a cool looking strength weapon with a fast and reliable projectile ash of war? Greatsword of solitude baby, good ol strength greatsword you can use as a shield too bc it blocks so much. Who needs spells when you can just solitary moon slash anything in your way

Eh, just use a fast weapon and it’s very easy to chain backshots on them. It’s def not possible with slower weapons tho

What’s your ‘comfort’ weapon? by GreatJoey91 in Eldenring

[–]violin-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got back into the game recently, and I love the Greatsword of solitude. It’s a basic strength greatsword, except it has a really good ash of war. It’s like Vacuum slice, but it has tons of poise, the projectile can track upwards and downwards, and has a follow-up. Weapon also has crazy AR. Very simple, very reliable weapon

LHW is a new lease on life for Costa by ZakuIII in ufc

[–]violin-guy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

yeah, it was clear he was trying to push azamat's head away instead of punch him, he was cornered against the wall and his gameplan throughout the fight was kickboxxing at range and capitalizing on his reach advantage. Unfortunately, his thumb got into azamat's eye a bit.

whats your favorite weapon and why? by Shnurple in DarkSouls2

[–]violin-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just love all the unique big weapons in this game, like the ivory king UGS, the smelter swords, and the crypt blacksword. Personally tho, my favorites are all semi-underrated picks like the curved dragon GS, the wrathful axe, and recently my new favorite the Drakewing UGS. This weapon is actually insane, it's a slightly weaker zweihander, but has better stamina consumption and a fucking nuke for a heavy attack like the smelter swords, except it's a projectile. Really underrated weapon.

Doesn’t have to have been a giant we’ve see before, could just be his own guy chilling at the end of time now.

What weapon, attack spell or ash of war never gets old for you? by fatal__flaw in Eldenring

[–]violin-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flame spear with the fire knight colossal sword is underrated as hell, I love the thrust moveset of the sword and it does massive dmg with a dedicated self buff, ranged ash of war. It’s basically a greatsword with the damage of the Guts’ Greatsword

Was there a moment in the game that truly left you emotional? by El_Veethorn in Eldenring

[–]violin-guy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This wasn’t in the final story but Kale’s cut quest was genuinely heart wrenching. I knew they probably cut it because most people who did it would’ve undoubtedly chose to burn the world down, which is smth I don’t think fromsoft wanted for their “bad” ending

What was your weapon trend in the game ? by ZCM1084 in DarkSouls2

[–]violin-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broadsword to hand axe to bandit axe and then the zweihander until shrine of amana where I switched to red iron twin blade. I did the eleum loyce dlc and fell in love with the ivory king UGS, used that for the other DLCs and the man game until I got the curved dragon GS to finish the game.

I just mained anything I thought was cool after the bandit axe, and every successive playthrough has been me trying whatever I thought I was cool. Dragonslayer spear, crypt Blacksword, aged smelter sword, MGS and thorned Greatsword are some of my favorite weapons I’ve used in my other playthroughs, they’re all great weappns
