Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

Anyone watched Rings of Power? What were your thoughts? I quite enjoyed it but I am a very casual LoTR fan. I am very happy with it. It looks amazing and pretty much how I'd want it to look being such a big fan of the movies. I am a massive Tolkien fan in terms of the source material too, but I do ...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

But did you watch it all the way through? I initially got to the start of Season 4 and gave up. In 2012 my then new girlfriend was adamant I would love it if I watched it all the way. So, I started again and watched the whole thing with her (season 6 was through some gritted teeth at times thought ...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

I started a fourth watch through of Lost. Already up to episode ten, having been watching it whilst I work all day. Nothing so far has changed my mind that it is the greatest television show of all time, and I would die on that hill. It's just the best. Sorry to be that guy, but I have to move in w...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Jedi Fallen Order, currently suffering with COVID and it's cheered me up a little. Not a perfect game, but it has enough of a fun challenge and cool mechanics to kill some time.

Re: Mental Health

I did something I never thought I'd do last week. It feels kind of embarrassing talking about it, and it's not something I feel like I could tell someone 'in real life', although I know it's wrong to think like that. I texted the Samaritans. We had a conversation over the course of the evening. I d...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I've put a few hours in to Assassin's Creed Origins since it came to Gamepass earlier this week. I've found the sun-drenched beauty of the world you play in to be a really nice place to escape to this week and it's genuinely been something of a help to my mental health which admittedly isn't doing ...

Sounds like you may have missed them in the relevant chests. :P

Re: Elden Ring

Alex, Hope this helps. 1: Yes you can get onto the raised platforms. After you cross the lake and get onto the main safe bit again, if you hug the wall and run left (youll have to run through the rot) you'll come across a sloped hill bit. However, there is an easier way. Near to where you were raisi...

Re: Elden Ring

Nice! Sounds like a good plan. I've never tried any of the Faith or Dragon incantations but they look extremely cool. I think at this point my character is going full Strength so won't be able to do much, but potentially in a NG+ I can try them for fun when I have more levels to spare. I would advi...

Re: Elden Ring

Got the achievement this morning to 100%, which is something I've never done in a game really to be honest. Incredibly happy. So for Malenia. In my playthroughs I have tried a few builds and reverted back to a faith scaling build for that particular run. So she has a fire weakness and I went in with...

Re: Elden Ring

So 200 hours in and I am one achievement away from getting the platinum (frenzied flame ending). I finished my NG+ earlier today to get all the others and now doing a quick speed run through to finish one final time with the flame ending. I am amazing at how quickly you can burn through the main sto...

Re: Elden Ring

And with that 140hours later, I have "beaten" the game. I feel very sad somehow that it's over, it has been probably the best gaming experience of my life (Mountaintop aside) and the journey taken has made it all the more satisfying. I stumbled, I raged, I swore to high heavens but it was ...

Re: Elden Ring

Basically ran through Mountaintop to the main boss as the area is horrible. Weirdly for all the people complaining about the Fire Giant, I got him down on the third attempt. Crumbling Farum Azula was pretty brutal but less tedious and actually very enjoyable, albeit with those bloody knights again!!...

Re: Elden Ring

So 127 hours in and I finally made it to the Mountaintop of Giants, and what a momumentally awful part of the game this is. Feel's like they spent 10 seconds balancing this area or they just intended for it to be intentionally tedious. It's such a massive letdown after the Royal Capital (my fav area...

Re: Elden Ring

I f**king hate Crucible Knights! But I also love their design. Specifically designed to hassle and beast you if you do any defensive tactics or common Souls type cheese moves ala double rolling to get behind. If you heal they will rush you and do a very powerful thrust attack, so make sure you are a...
