I copped off hype.

Yeah I'm over-leveled as fukk. Level 93 before getting up to the lift after the Academy. I keep getting into weird shyt.

And another fukk nikka demigod falls to my sword

If someone said this was the greatest ARPG of all time, I’m not arguing

Bruh this game is the epitome of an action RPG, I actually kinda know the story of this one too. From has done a better job all around. GOAT level game.

The Spirit Caller Snail Boss is underrated as far as difficulty. You have to run the gauntlet with tough enemies and hope he doesn't spawn on the other side to get swipes in.​

Restarting on the Ps5 version with the Samurai. I fukk with the katana but it seem like I can only clear areas with the Partisan spear

Performance wise Xbox has it with VRR but the load times and me liking the Ps5 controller better has me staying with this version.

Hey coli brehs?

@Gizmo_Duck

should I touch it or or leave it alone?....what will happen

 

[Woodrow]

Can I get some help brehs?

about to start and have no clue how to pick a character base. First souls-style From game I’ve ever committed to playing (before this I only fukked with sekiro).

any suggestions? I’m definitely a “my defense is my offense” type, tho again I played sekiro so I’m down to parry. Would love to be able to augment my sword attacks with crazy ranged magic so I can control distance, but then hit first and punish folks for being slow or missing up close. Is there a character type suited to this style?

Also, any recommendations on how to level up with this style in mind?

The cutscene before the final boss might be the hardest intro From has ever did

Game is magical brehs

 

[OJ Simpsom]

the load times and me liking the Ps5 controller better has me staying with this version.

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet
Turning on the PS5 and playing in less than 15 seconds
Re spawn is less than 5 seconds after you die
GOAT tier gaming

From a technical perspective, the game is rough looking. It looks maybe slightly better graphically than DS3 which is a 2015 game. Then there is the actual performance shyt, like the constant pop-in, unstable framerates, some out of date UI design, low LoD etc.

On the other hand, Fromsoft art direction carries the game. its one of the best-looking open world games I’ve ever played just design wise. It makes every other fantasy-rpg game look bland as hell in comparison. I could never go back to playing something like witcher and skyrim after this and look at it the same. Fromsoft are just on a different level when it comes to crafting their own worlds and characters.

I do hope that their next game can match their design sense with graphical fidelity like Demon’s Souls.

I’m still not sure how they plan on implementing ray tracing into this game in the state its in now and probably will be for the foreseeable future

I def agree its not leaps and bounds better than ds3 but they had to still limit their game so it can be played on last gen consoles. I honestly haven't seen much pop-in on PC and have had no framerate issues but obviously that's going to be drastically different for consoles. most from software games have trash framerates on console

On series X pop in is no worse than any other game and the framerate is very good.

this game is beautiful at times. It lacks in facial texture/tech, but everything else looks really good. Especially considering how much content there is.
