god bless you for kickstarting this game my brother

i ordered it on switch, but i guess theres delays or whatever. not sweating it

Rogue one is probably the single best thing disney has done so far

Lol my message on the elevator leading to placidusax got a lot of love

It was me laying down spread out like ah elevator, in other words time for dragon

Yeah alolan smelter was corny with his giant whip that can reach all around him, and his annoyingly overpowered aoe thats impossible to predict, but once i went shieldless bloodborne mode and learned all his bullshit he was a chump

Frigid outskirts tho my goal was to beat every boss in the game, and ultimately every fromsouls boss, but damn. They are trying my patience lmao

Im legit sitting here wondering if i should go to the dark souls ii discord and find someone to help me

Damn, Dark Souls II. Youre DLC was so lit, i was ready to forget and forgive

And now this

all this just to fight a boss reskin

If you go straight to Aava without getting the Eye of the Priestess first, she's invisible. And that's still totally winnable, but the game makes it clear you shouldn't be doing it.

Lol thats really cool actually. I went right instead of left when i first arrived, so i cleared the entire area until i ended up back at the first bonfire like wut

Also

Bro what even is this frigid outskirts shit

hey the smash ultimate dlc is at least a little close

Please play the DLC before you get rusty lol. For the longest time, Silent Hill 2 was my favorite horror game, but after playing the Bloodborne DLC i have a new #1

XV honestly but rush through it at quickly as you can

also this is wrong imo. the main story sucks. you play that game to pull your car off to the side of the road and go camping with the boys

I put on Shining in the Darkness as a joke because I plan to play it for 20 minutes before skipping to the Shining Force games. I'm surprised it actually has votes.

wow way to do us sega fans dirty. that game is legit great and id rather play it than like half the games up here lol

I love how they rewarded the exploration of that area - not relying on consumables or weapons that you won't use, but actually making it relevant narratively, thematically, and functionally for the boss fight? Wish they did it more!

exactly!

Did you fight invisible Aava?

no, lol wut?

Been working my way through Eleum Loyce over the weekend. Its honestly excellent. Great level design, enemy design, and Aava was a really cool boss. These DLCs get better and better as they go. It really seems like Miyazaki was busy making Bloodborne, so he tasked the B team with DS2, and they improved little by little as time went on. I had a bunch of complaints about the main game, but the DLC is redeeming this game a lot

Made it to Burnt Ivory King, and actually managed to summon a guy named Piccolo69, but we got stomped by endless respawning enemies, and afterwards he sent me a friend request and a message saying dude get the loyce knights and i was like lol aight i didnt even know, but im goin now. Come to find out now the entire area has opened up even more, and exploring it a second time is like a brand new experience. Its just great

just here to vote gen 1 in every poll

the announcer

Sonic & Knuckles or Ristar. Those games look, sound, and play absolutely stunning, even to this day

I aint gonna lie i voted gen 1 for every poll so far LOL

Man Sir Alonne was HARD. Heres how it went down:

First i tried summoning two dudes to help, but i wasnt doing hardly any damage, because summoning makes the boss stronger, and also he was killing me so fast

Then i tried solo, and i learned his pattern. He has a ton of end lag after his long katana thrusts, and he always thrusts left. So dodge right, and punish

But hes also super fast, so i dont have much time to hit with my big ol knife. Tried two regular hits at first, but then i was like, wait, lets do 1 heavy hit. But then wait, screw that, im not using my shield in this fight anyway, so lets two-hand him.

Actually lets just unequip the shield, and im not using magic in this fight, so lets unequip the wand, and now i dont need my load ring, so lets reorganize my rings

Actually fuck it lets just respec completely. If i decide i need magic again, ill go back. Dropped int to 3, raised str to 60, got my agility to 105, googled his weakness which is lightning, equipped my gold pine resin

and after like ten tries i fuckin beat him

WHEWWWWW that was hard. But also really fun and rewarding. It was like constantly being in a high risk, high reward dance of giant katana vs giant meat cleaver lmao. The only thing that sucked was his attack where he grabs you with his katana, because even if you roll out of the way, it can just randomly lock on and suck you into it anyway

But yeah. Might be tied for my #1 fav boss in the game with Sinh

Terranigma

Kid Icarus Uprising is a sad one, that'll be impossible experience again

Decided im gonna give Alolan Smelter a break whew

Guess ill travel down to the very bottom
now

Oh hey heres some actual players! I summoned three whole actual players! What are the chances

Fought the Fume Knight with some jolly good 4 player co-operation. He didnt go down easy either; that red magical sword was crazy

Ya know, i never played the DS3 DLC and now i need to add that to the list

I like brume tower so far tho. I like blowing up the barrel dudes to kill big swarms of enemies, and i like the fat dudes who self destruct. They tricked me and got me stuck in a corner and completely FUCKED me lmao. Its nice when the gameplay gets mixed up like that

But also smelter demon again? Really? Dont worry guyz its the alolan form so its blue now

And the path leading up to it is a straight clusterfuck lol

Omniscientless posted...

regressing to looking like an animatronic was a big mistake

holy shit this is so true lmao. I always thought he looked really uncanny in the newer Smash games

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/6a3432a0.jpg

the fuck is this lmao? He honestly looked cool in Melee and SFA

Finally got him tonight! Took all my estus flasks and THREE weapons breaking, but i barely did it

And mannn, maybe its just dark souls iis lack of boss variety, but i really think sinh might be my favorite Fromsouls dragon fight. The way he just stays mobile both in the air and on the ground the entire battle, knocking over pillars, knocking down stalactites, charging in from the sky, etc. I perfectly rolled past so many fireballs, fire beams, tail swipes, etc in the last second, it just FELT GOOD

Very dynamic and satisfying fight. My favorite DSII boss so far, and probably at least top 3 dragons along with Placidusax and Nameless King

Taking on DLC #2 now continuing from the iron keep

Holy crap the graphics in SFA are legit impressive for 2002

I mean this in the least furry way possible - but Foxs fur looks

Actually all the colors and textures on everything really pop. The graphics, art direction, music, atmosphere

But the absolute best part is the shop keeper

HoW bOuT wE pLaY a LiTtLe GaMe

YoU PaY tHiS MuCh - 5 scarabs

>3 scarabs

nO thats too LOWW

>4 scarabs

OKAY Ill sELl iT tou YOU

Holy shit this next boss is amazing tho. Sinh the slumbering dragon. Its so organically cinematic while also being an actual fight. Now this is dark souls

Just got Elana too! Found out there was a secret bonfire behind an illusory wall, and a hidden second npc summon too. They were there this whole time

I got no shame using summons on these guys because now i can finally continue the game

No joke i got off the couch, got a chair from the dining room, sat it directly in front of the tv, and was like aight fuck this

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/0/082e1c06.jpg

Optimized my route to the boss, equipped every healing consumable i had, summoned two npcs, and managed to get everyone there to take on the three gankers. My original strat was to focus on the archer first, but my bros were getting killed too quick, so i worked with them kiting the enemies between us and backstabbing when possible

My weapon started to break mid fight (i guess from destroying so many petrification statues on the way to the boss) so there i was again running around and fumbling through my inventory to get a repair powde

But man eventually we got them with zero flasks to go

Hell yeah

I could probably just say screw it and go fight Nashandra and kill her easily, but could i really call myself a real gamer if ive never finished the dark souls ii dlc?

PeaceFrog posted...

They really designed the dlc with co-op in mind. I did it solo but it was maddening.

thats about where im at lol.

still stuck at elana, but also found cerah, graverobber, and varg and its not much easier lmao. After absolutely sweeping through the main game, this DLC has completely stopped me in my tracks

LOL i was drunk at a party and we had a gamecube out; i dont even remember making this topic

But yeah sure ill play it

Also Mario Power Tennis is incredible

I hated this when i was 13 because i just wanted a sequel to star fox 64

Was i wrong?

For the record I'm tentative about allowing Alolan Pokmon forms since they're not different characters literally just a variation.

imagine youre an alolan exeggutor, and you have zero concept of what a normal exeggutor is, because fuck if youve ever been to kanto. imagine how youd feel

also is it just me or is it kinda insane ghost trick was in the same decade as fire emblem three houses

2B
Joker
Micolash
Solaire
Lee (TWD)
Clementine (TWD)
Shovel Knight

Alolan Exeggutor <- everybody nominate this
Madiline (Celeste)
Solas (Dragon Age Inquisition)
Isabelle
Cuphead
Mordin

ill edit this later with more

Elana is hard ;-;

maybe ill deal with the gold knight before her NOPE SHE SUMMONS SKELETONS WHILE IM STILL DEALING WITH HIM

ya go my Eiyuden

also braid physical plz

Whew just beat them by the skin of my teeth thanks to mr. homie dwarf with moonlight sword-

>another boss appears immediately after

Oh

Lol

Probably gonna have to summon for this fight. This is like Ornstein and Smough all over again

Getting low on Effigies tho after all that time playing with my friend

Hmmm

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/e/e41ef67f.jpg

Yeah Elena is a bit tough, so i looked up a guide for the main game, and i went to all three memories

Im not sure what item i was supposed to get there tho? Giant souls? I sure hope not because ive been using them LOL

I was about to kill Throne Defender & Throne Watcher on the first try (my magical great sword fucking ROCKS them), but after killing Defender, i ran off to heal, and when i turned around, Watcher revived him to full health

Yeah i killed him lol

It wasnt hard so much as a trial of extreme patience

Bump, idk where to go in the main game, so ive just been tackling dragon city dlc now that im strong enough to solo it

I hit post without finishing lol: but like i dunno man, FF14 feels like its more for an adult audience with mature themes, etc, and thats what I kinda crave at this age. We have Disco Elysium now, so I want some real, relatable characters with good writing and stories that are more grounded. And theres plenty of Japanese RPGs with believable characters and worlds that dont go off the deep end like Infinite Wealth or Fromsouls. Even FF16 to an extent.

Theres just this huge disconnect in my mind whenever I see FF7R characters so much as speak, and I wish i could get over it, but whew i just cant

HeroDelTiempo17 posted...

You say this as if ff14's flavor of anime bullshit isn't also directly catered to fans of 2000s squeenix melodrama

Strong disagree. FF14s world and lore is always grounded in rules, even when it goes crazy. And the writing is strong enough that the characters always feel human

FF7Rs rules are seemingly just made up as they go, and the characters were probably always anime cliches, but doubling down on cliche makes them feel really hard to relate to imo

Id argue rebirths user score is higher because it has 6,000 less votes than remake, because a bunch of us 90s FF fans peaced out when we realized this was more catered towards the 2000s kingdom hearts / advent children fans

also the best FF since the 00s already happened and it was called Shadowbringers

Sephiroth: IT IS YOUR DESTINY TO DEFY YOUR FATE

Cloud: anime grunt

FF fans who were always gonna love it no matter what: 10/10
