BigBossBalrog Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Replaying BB right now; and decided to finally do an Arcane Build (the last one I did was before the DLC released ) Just wanted to gush how understated, mundane, but fucking creepy and well-done this little moment is Shows a masterful understanding of horror; which makes me want a full on survival horror game done by them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Oh man. Makes you feel less sad about no Dark Souls sequels (even if it's for the better) when they modding community is making Carthus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Beat me Arcane playthrough a couple days ago; considering the fact Orphan for the first time, took my thirty minutes instead of two hours goes to show how fucking brokenly OP you become by the end My opinion that magic is gutted in BB is the same, but I know it gets busted at a certain point I think it's a design flaw for Arcane players though; you pretty much spend most of the game as and invalid with a SINGLE weapon (the Tonitrus) and a ranged weapon (the flamethrower) if you want decent damage for a pure arcane build for the early and mid game...and once you get you become an unstoppable eldritch mageslayer Seriously; the combination of replacing the gun with the Augur for Tentacle parries and augmenting your damage with Blacksky Orb is some of the funnest shit ever. I still think there should have been an early game Hunting Tool; I know how lore accurate it is for Eldritch magic to be locked till you get to the end game, but i'm sure they could have found a workaround. Oh and it made me a Tonitrus believer; it fucking melts EVERYTHING, and I was solely relied on it's transformed form for arcane scaling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Welp. I would have thought an ER adapttion to be a better fit; but this could be really cool too. I hope From is involved. I'd be more worried for the big....N-phent in the room () If Netflix hadn't nailed some video game animation adaptions already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a Castlevania-like animated Souls series could work. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they change the story pretty significantly and make a party of protagonists instead of a single loner. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NETFLIX Unless they do a prequel thing; could center it around the Four Knights of Gywn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Good news and bad news; The future press FROM colab guide books just released and it's super high quality and filled with alot of stuff that clarifies Lore bits. Bad news; The Interview with the big M was short and pretty disappointing and had only a single new thing... Good news: That single thing said (the context was them wanting to save the true meaning of the Roundtable Hold till "later games") was that there''s going to be more "Elden Ring games" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
