Does LotF have a satisfying conclusion or is it a very clear would-be franchise hook?

It has a conclusion. They can go pretty much anywhere with the sequel if they decide to make more.

Artificial difficulty.
I'm a little disappointed with how easy Abyss Watchers were with any shield. An un-upgraded Grass Crest Shield was enough to tank 2-3 hits on both phases, and was enough to actually make them bounce and interrupt their combos just by blocking if they swung their dagger. I remember them being a lot harder when I was man-moding.
I tried to take on Dancer with a +4 weapon and lost about 60+ times before giving up though, so it's not like I'm remotely good at this game, either.

Wow I finally tried playing the game with a shield and its ridiculously easy when you use one.

Pontiff and NK were absolute nightmares with shieldless and pure melee. I did one playthrough like that and put that silly conceit on the shelf forever. Now I just bring a shield or summon co-op for my shieldless builds.

Is it ever all the annoying stupidly sped up poo poo isn't a challenge at all with a shield. Pontiff knights, thralls, dogs, you name it its much easier with a shield.

There's a haint in the foothills of NC; the haint of the #3 chevy. The rich have formed a holy alliance to exorcise it but they'll never fucking catch him.


Lotf enemies are annoying and move too fast and ones with shields are a nightmare.

I SHOULD KEEP MY DUMB MOUTH SHUT INSTEAD OF SPEWING HORSESHIT ABOUT THE ORBITAL MECHANICS OF THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?
All my invasions were laggy as hell tonight but I still won most of them. It was some weird kind of lag where the other guys' hits would register immediately but mine took four or five seconds. It led to some very strange poo poo, like I'd backstab a guy for seemingly no damage but then he'd just randomly drop dead a few seconds later.

One thing I like is how all three endings kind of feed into each other, with both NG+ and NG++ taking place in character. The narrative isn't particularly deep but it plays with player motivation fairly well.

I got invaded by someone using a Dark Sword in catacombs and completely wrecked his poo poo using Drang Hammers. Was pretty fun.

I remember when I was still a tween, possibly even 8 or 9. I was the go-to kid for Video Games. Stuck on Mouser in Mario 2? Send a runner to lite_sleepr's house and get him to zip over here.

I was basically PvPSkillz of the early 90s.

Darkroot Garden was peak gameplay design; an open area where you get chased around by a bunch of enemies. We gotta keep going back to this concept until we get it right again!

I thought it was funny they showed the player playing a knight, and also dying at the end using attempting to use magic. A very honest trailer.
