Re: Elden Ring

I finally did it! Trying to remain as spoiler free as possible, but that last boss is completely and utterly stupid. Overall this DLC is simply amazing, but FromSoft have really jumped the shark with a couple of bosses here. Midra for me was the best example of what a Soulsborne boss should be like,...

Re: Elden Ring

I generally love From's DLC, although the difficulty can be offputting at times. They're always beautiful, weird and fascinating though, and have some really memorable and intricately designed levels. I've been pretty tentative in this one so far, just poking around the first area, stumbling on a s...

Re: Elden Ring

All of my complaints aside (and really they are only like 10% of what I have experienced) this is a glorious piece of game design. I am having a blast for the most part, however big you think the world is just times it by a factor of 10 and you are maybe close to how much content there is to find an...

Re: Elden Ring

I have hit a brick wall on a few bosses and some areas. Speciman Storeroom was a bit BS with the Fire Knights who hit like trucks. spam fire attacks and have alot of poise. I managed to figure an effective strat for them only to hit the first proper brick wall of the experience with 'Messmer'. Took ...

Re: Elden Ring

I think we can all agree that visually this is a stunning piece of game design. It nails the mood perfectly and much like the base game, it all looks like a wonderful painting.

Re: Elden Ring

Loving the DLC so far. There is a massive imbalance for me though in terms of how hard I am hitting and how hard the enemy is hitting. They hit like trucks, but so do I. It led to an interesting first 20 minutes or so where I was steamrolling field enemies such as the soldiers with a single hit of m...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

Been watching Shogun (I am a massive fan of the OG tv adaptation) and this new version is just sublime. Absolutely in love with it already. I was hoping they would be releasing a larger number of episodes, but this is just a testament to how much I want to experience this show as long as possible. M...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

For some reason I wasted (it feels like it anyway) £30.00 on Helldivers 2. Now I have nobody to play it with and it's very annoying.

Also hopped back into Elden Ring and trying to do a level 1 run, which is insanely difficult but super fun.

Is this crossplay with PC? Can I add you both?

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

Finally got around to watching 'Winning Time' season 2 and really enjoyed it. Was absolutely livid to find it has been cancelled, so we will never see a season 3. Yes, its accuracy is questionable beyond belief but it is massively entertaining and I like it's presentation style. 'Master of the Air' ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Hey peeps, Hope you are all well and yes it has been a while for me. I played Dark Souls II recently to the end and honestly will never play it again. A game that I really enjoyed in places and would have enjoyed in totality if it did not go out of it's way to be a big bag of dicks. Some of the desi...

Amored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon

Felt it deserve it's own thread. By God, FromSoft have only gone and bloody well done it again! I am struggling to think of another developer who have had such a hot streak of quality releases. Granted I am only in the early stages of AC6 , but it's looking pretty damn bloody marvellous so far. When...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Weirdly been playing alot of PUBG again. Not played for years at all and not played regularly since the 'Summer of PUBG' in 2017. Despite being a terrible shot, I am enjoying it alot.

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

Started watching Peaky Blinders again. Only made it to Season 2 when I tried before. I was really enjoying it but just stopped for some reason. Finished the first season last night so will carry on with it over the weekend. My girlfriend refuses to watch it on the grounds the accents are annoying b...

Resident Evil 4 (2023)

Demo is now available.

I seriously hope Capcom don't mess this up like they sort of did with the Resi 3 remake.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Back 4 Blood - I picked up the Ultimate Edition of this one physical for $20, not knowing it was on Game Pass. So I'm gonna sell the physical copy. This game is pretty dead though... On a Sunday afternoon, with cross play enabled, I could not find a single player to join my match. Even Left 4 Dead ...

Re: Dark Souls I, II and III

Oh yes the DLC is brilliant and easily the highlight for me. Artorias was cool but kind of a let down in terms of difficulty, but that was no fault of the game per se. I one shotted him, but to be fair I had to be on my toes so it wasn't like a Pinwheel level of easy by any stretch. He felt out of p...

Re: Dark Souls I, II and III

I find it hard to believe someone was actually paid to design the Bed of Chaos boss fight.... What an absolute shit show of a boss fight, bloody awful and incredibly unfair. I then find it unfathomable that someone was paid to actually design Tomb of the Giants. Just terrible game design overall and...

Ah man, I like that area! Those darkwraith type enemies were cool. Annoying the bonfire is so far away through.
There is no bonfire :(
