Get it used.

I found a boss. I can’t seem to get him past 60% (fought him 3 times). Cool af, though!

I did a new run. I was like new game +4 on my PlayStation one. I’m migrating my library to PC.

Ok, I put in about ah hour and a half. I mainly did a bunch of suicide runs to find new areas and items. There’s a cool new system of collectibles that helps even out the playing field for lower level players and new game + ones. Those buffs only stay in the expansion. So far, it definitely feels like more Elden Ring, though more dense. I have already unlocked 1/2 of the main map. The game definitely is more vertically structured. While I have discovered those portions of the map, many areas are out of reach. The level design feels very well thought out, so far. My only gripes are enemy/mini b

Yup. I’m just exploring. I defeated a few mini bosses.

that is beyond awesome

i think my gf knew i wanted to play this (i may have low key dropped that i wanted to play this tonight lol) and asked if we can do something tomorrow night instead. the universe is on my side. just one more hour to go for me

@Remij click this if you want to go into the expansion with the right mindset

@Remij be careful of spoilers on youtube. i saw the final boss in the fucking thumbnail. it just showed up when i opened youtube

the wifi is down here, so i'm stuck using my phone's hotspot. shit is slow af 9 gigs to go

it's downloading. 14gb. i thought the 8gb i dl'd earlier was the expansion. i guess not.

could be good if the gimmick doesn't get old.

i rather play this on steam deck anyhow

she made me the best shrimp tacos last night. i'd feel like an asshole i totally forgot we had made plans.

i won't get to play much until sunday, unfortunately. i think my gf will be over tonight and tomorrow night i'm going to try and clear my work schedule tomorrow.

midnight on consoles; 6pm est for pc.

a few more hours to go. just getting any last minute items i can think of. i feel ready for the dlc. but, a few extra items can't hurt. i had forgotten how well the staff of loss buffs night comet (30%?).

that's badass!

damn, i bet a kendrick show is amazing (minus the asshats holding up their phones to record).

it's kind of pricey, though. also, i don't know if the SD slot issue was fixed. that would bug tf out of me.

The expansion downloaded Out of anticipation, I beat Malenia. Swarm of flies got heavily nerfed with her So, I ditched it immediately. However, Blasphemous Blade killed her in my first run. The sword’s 2 hand fire attack, with my fire boost potion, made me a god. I still can’t believe people need help with her. Maybe they are fighting her too early into the game (that blade is late game).

Unfortunately, it just shows you made a title change. Only edited posts, in the body, will display the original message.

Nah. I mostly play indie AAA masterpieces like Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. They look/run perfect. I stay away from soulless trash like starfield, which is a gimped RPG, in general.

My SD Oled is what’s still keeping me gaming. Nearly 400 hours this year alone.

Ds3 is pretty linear, while ER is very open. I think ER grabbed me (the first souls game I beat) because you can take so many different paths if you are stuck. There’s a lot of freedom. If you YouTube a starter guide, it makes things less overwhelming and a bit (or even very) OP. I’m not “gud” at these games. I’m just persistent and figure out what strategy works for me. Sometimes magic…sometimes brute force…sometimes dex…you can change builds pretty early on. I tend to farm a bit, so I can have extra levels for a balance/hybrid build, usually a mix of strength and magic.
