TheCzarsHussar Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 The Dark Soul 1 character creation music is my favorite menu theme they've ever done. It feels so ethereal and calm. Just a gentle theme while making hideous Chosen Undead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I don't know about you guys, but I'm sick of seeing the so and so as dark 80's fantasy.

The Good Doctor Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 "But there’s one reason the game’s uncontested greatness is a mixed blessing. Elden Ring is too long and too hard for the majority of casual (and even not-so-casual) players. And its inescapable acclaim could wrongly convince some folks that games just aren’t for them." The author says this like it’s a bad thing. I see it as a win for every party involved. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one of the more pathetic articles I’ve seen in a while. I can’t imagine being so insecure that you get triggered over millions of people loving a game that you yourself cannot complete, to the point that you want it changed for your sake just so you can feel like part of the club. Not every game is made for you. Get over it. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every game is made for you. Get over it. Imagine not having enough braincells for the many many many ways Fromsoft allows the game to be easier. Spirit Summons. Magic or Faith. Bloodhound Step. Summoning other, better players. Super strong weapons. Just to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want Doc Sekiro includes a secret diffuclty mode; there's a hidden temple that has a demon bell. If you ring it you curse yourself and you get extra currency...at the price of making every enemy stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonelKillaBee Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 i assume that means its time for grinding lol but then I also dont have weapons i want for late game yet Im considering grinding, then making my build into a faith build for dragon stuff and mixing that with either the starscourge sword orrr, the malekith black blade since its also faith based. And in the meantime till i get that far just use my bloodhound sword with dragon abilities, pump the rest of my points into health.

TheCzarsHussar Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 @The Good Doctor What level is your Lord Yupa esque character? I want to remake mine but don't know what level would be good for people traveling through Caelid by normal progression. I'm thinking 50-60, gonna do some weapon level matchmaking research as well.
