Tainted Ham posted:For those of you farther in the game; how stingy do I need to be with smith stones? I want tonupgrade my starting gear but im worried it will be a waste 2 bosses down and I haven't found a decent supply yet. My starting axe is now in the second tier (+5), but I don't even have enough small smith stones left to +2 anything else, which I'm extremely sad about because I FOUND THE BRICK HAMMER!!! Choose well what you upgrade because from the looks of it, that'll be your only upgraded option for a while.

What's the difference between smith stone[1] and Smith stone[2]? I have loads of 2 in my inventory which says it can be used to upgrade weapons to +6 but when I go to Smith them it doesn't let me even when I have enough runes.

Smith stones [1] are for +1/+2/+3 upgrades Smith stones [2] are for +4/+5/+6 Smith stones [3] are for +7/+8/+9 And I presume limited supply smith stones[4] will be the +10.

My +2 halberd is no match for Magrit. Gonna try and find that jellyfish summo. I hate how tight his parry-counter time is. I can get off two or so in the fight usually, but cant get an opening in phase 2.

Not sure anyone is high enough to confirm if that old standby has changed.

I went from Darksouls inspired zone to Bloodborne inspired zone to Demons Souls inspired zone, all with enemies to match, and there was even a little Sekiro in there. Game owns. I'm doubling down on my prediction that it is the worlds of all Fromsoft games mashed together from all the chaos of so many ending and re-starting cycles of whatever.

Mother of god. Speaking of changes, I loving L O V E the triangle+d-pad item shortcuts. I have both healing and estus flasks and being able to have them available regardless of what item I’m using is fuckin great.

lol had a horseback miniboss bug out and kill itself, free loot! Not sure how I feel about the open world, probably coming off Horizon but the point A to B with just collecting crafting materials is kinda boring and there's a lot of it. I can see how the mini dungeons are going to get repetitive with how long this game seemingly is

The Little Kielbasa posted:Just a few hours in, and I'm enjoying it, but the first area just doesn't feel very Dark Souls to me (at least the outdoor parts, the interiors I've seen are great). What's with all these animals that aren't undead, cursed, or even visably diseased? And I'm picking fruit? I hope future zones will feel more gloriously ruined. Or maybe they're trying to show us a world that isn't quite as fallen (or hasn't been fallen as long) as DS1&3. Torrent is good for covering a lot of ground you've already seen to a destination, sprinting past enemies you'd rather not fight at the moment, giving an extra combat option, and sometimes platforming because he can jump higher.

Without saying anything specific, just want to note on “this game is long” the map lies to you about how big it really is until you reach a new area and it expands. It keeps happening and I think it’s done it five times now to me.

Is there a way to look at your buffs/buff descriptions? You could in the souls games, but I don't see anything on the status screen and just have to guess what some of these symbols mean.

I can see how the mini dungeons are going to get repetitive with how long this game seemingly is i've spent a good amount of time exploring all the edges and plains so far and there's been nothing important there. so it seems like that isn't something i should spend much doing in the future. i've already had the 'why does this acre of grass even exist' feeling. i think the pace of those areas is supposed to be just tear through on the horse and get off if you see something which looks like something. the important stuff seems made hard to miss.

I seriously doubt it was intentional  Anyways I've been running around with +2 and +3 gear for a while now. Anyone know where I can get a +1-3 stone upgrade? I've got plenty for +4-6. I've already cleared out the mine near the dragon, and I only need one to set me on the +4-6 tier.

Is there a video to help me with Parry timing? It just seems to work 50/50 for me and I can't tell if I'm doing it too early, too late, or on the wrong moves.

this game is loving great man. i never played sekiro, but stealth fits into this formula perfectly and the mounted combat is awesome. I just wish it ran better. i'm playing on PS5 and even in performance mode, frames dip to like 30 fps occasionally.

There’s a bunch of much more hidden - by the standards of giant rents in giant cliffs - dungeons and secrets.

Beat Tree Sentinel right out the gate after maybe the 15th try? Wasn't counting. More like FPS sentinel. Even with fixes like unlimited shader cache and setting elden ring to high performance, I was still getting FPS drops that almost killed me. Now I can finally play the game!

If you bought it digitally, download the ps4 version for flawless 60fps. I think you'll need to start again tho, saves can go from ps4 to ps5 but not vice versa IIRC.

Becsuse there's the sword-key bit as soon as you're out the tutorial but before you leave the building. And it's a) brutal and savage as gently caress, and b) hilarious and the most fun I've had in a game in years
