I want it. I need it. It speaks to me.

definitely solidifying a dex/faith build for me, inquisition style

got a chuckle outta me his reaction to finding the flail then immediately exclaiming "DEX!" in pained exasperation

This one has bleed status effect, so that may have leaned it toward higher dex scaling and reqs

It's so hard not to keep searching for more weapon stats, I wanna find some cool rear end pole arms and spears too

E although I don't remember the stat requirement and status effects from previous spiky things in the series very well

Literally yesterday a friend asked what the heck kind of game Elden Ring is anyway and I tried, probably rather poorly, to explain and now they put out an official trailer doing just that!

My understanding is that the heavy stuttering is just a PC thing, but people with leaked copies have noticed some choppy frame rates on the PS5 (I'm unsure if that means sub-30 or 30 with bad frame pacing, from has always been bad at frame pacing though)

I haven’t watched any new footage, but it’s gonna be a drat shame if the game they spent years making after DS3 and Sekiro, which had flawless 60fps on PS5, has bad frame drop issues. That being said I guess it’s time to go dark now, see y’all on the other side

No idea. I would imagine that streamers have the best pc's money can buy. I have heard it is an issue specific to pc and happening for people with 3080s. I have also heard that it is not an issue at all on ps4 or ps5. No idea. I also heard it isn't happening for people with 1060's. Lol.

I heard that it could be a shader issue. Anyways. I am praying it isn't bad.

Bloodborne got a month 1 patch that did improve its stuttering a little bit, but that was overshadowed by the cutting of loading times down to below the 90-second mark.

Bolt paper and a long reach weapon that can do vertical hits on his head (hunters axe is killer in this fight). Always be running and pull some hit and run moves on his head after his attack animations

drat is tonitrus too short range? I got a high level hunter axe but I wonder if tonitrus is better even with bolt paper.

seeing weird complaints about how there's fast travel in the game in various places online lol, this game looks like it's massive. seems like a necessity.

that being said though, given the nature of these games, i think a good way to implement the fast travel would've been to have it be treated like your estus flask. some kind of in game item with limited uses until you rest at a site of grace or something

Together we ride, with our guiding moonlight. It will show us the way.

Based on specs, it should be fine. It's essentially the equivalent of a 1060 in all ways, and better in a few. :v:

I never understood game release schedules. Like if a game company says a game will be released on 2/25 but the game is ready to go before then, why not release it early?

Physical distribution. Feb. 25th is when they can be certain all retail outlets who want it will have it, based on the date they shipped discs. Especially for a front-loaded "event" item like a video game, saying "eh you know what, gently caress it, release a few days early!" is an amazing way to infuriate retailers who had been anticipating retail being X day and weren't able to stock in time, thus missing out on sales due to customers going elsewhere that did have the game at retail.

It's getting a bit archaic due to the nature of modern digital distribution and the accelerating death of modern brick-and-mortar stores broadly for anything that's not Literally Food, but there are reasons for retail street dates beyond "need to prepare day one patches".

If we're talking about amygdala you won't be able to reach his head consistently with tonitrus. The leaping attack, running r1 as well as the r1 2nd hit for the hunters axe will definitely lay some pain on him super fast, bolt paper is just icing in the cake
