This game is a dark souls prequel. You play as the nameless king. The "tarnished" refers to your royal status and the real reason the king has always been unnamed is because the player names them

i'm glad they're broadening their horizons and implementing lots of different things but if you can't roll through every type of attack then i will have to refund the game. that's the only thing i can do. i've tried

they should go ahead and put in a version of the executioner's chariot battle arena but it's mounted combat and you have to leap over more and more holes that open up while fighting or something. Don't know. Elden Ring

TBH, I wouldn't be so sure. Yeah PVP has a core group of fans and helps keeps a lot of soulsborne games alive, but are definitely just a vocal minority. I'm sure they do want to balance co-op/PVP, but the focus is always the single player's experience.

They tipped their hand about it. "However, Fromsoft and Bandai Namco would like community feedback on this, as this decision is not yet final." Most people aren't going to provide pre-release feedback but that vocal minority sure will. No way to tell how much feedback they'll need to change it but I would expect at least a risk/reward item that allows solo invasions. Maybe an "even more HP, but" type of thing or higher item drop rate.

i hope there's a cute little secret garden you can find and plant seeds that you've found throughout the open world that provide different small but appreciable benefits when you pick their fruit. and you can find sweet puppys and take care of them. i freaking love this game

i'm so glad it really is dark souls and not just kinda but not

there's going to be a lot of exact clones of dark souls weapons in the game, and they're going to have my exile greatsword and that's good.

are the npc/creature summons a one-use item or something you collect and have?

Cavauro
Jan 9, 2008

please datamine a nice grappling hook for me. some item that lets you do 4 or 5 extra doublejumps in the air would be acceptable as well

i'm glad the stupid area full of lava and half of a dinosaur copy and pasted 100 times exists. it wouldn't exist anywhere else and i'm happy to have seen it

Cavauro

i think they should have made it so the swamp judicator in the ringed city, who summons elden ring spirits, would not respawn after you killed it. And when you killed him, he dropped an airboat

i forgot to mention queen mereka and her daughters melene and milaneia. as well as mequena whose blade melania was mentioned already. I appreciate no one correcting me. this (fromsoft) is the greatest community in gaming.

i haven't been able to get past any non-railroad parts of the souls series because i have face blindness which makes it impossible for me to remember which npcs and enemies are which

souls games are only trial and error to the extent that you haven't (or haven't tried) to develop observation and pattern recognition skills; the games have a common "language" with respect to both level layout and enemy tells that transfers from zone to zone and even enemy to enemy to a certain extent. the games will occasionally gently caress with you later on but it's basically as a joke (like there'll be an enemy who behaves in an inconsistent manner but is twice as slow as normal, so you actually only get got if you're running on pure muscle memory autopilot) and the penalty is never as bad as it is for loving up normally

imo their reputation for difficulty doesn't even come from the fact that they're all that hard in absolute terms but more, i think, from the fact that they're games that get more fun the better you are at them instead of the standard AAA approach of repetitive bullshit that gambles everything on first impressions and removing friction

i really like what you said, and how you said it. It's truer than hell in my opinion and some big prize tickets are heading your way

their best selling game only sold like 3 million on the same platform. if bloodborne was on xbox and pc it would be up around the other games. probably more than DS2 and Sekiro

Cavauro

plenty of room for abstruse games and games that are the diametric opposite:'well-designed'. i thought games with any budget at all like dark souls would stop existing for a while there when valve was signposting or outright deleting alternate 15 meter pathways that loop back around to where you started because their testers wouldn't stop taking the loop back over and over forever

the bad textures and stuff would be hidden by all the darkness. Dark is the mother of all. All things were born from it.

i only don't like a couple bosses. and those ones i still don't have any hate for. You might say i'm a greedy, nasty, tasteless little goblin who just wants more bosses and more souls (the currency) or equivalent

if you had to use souls combat to cut down trees and like hurl chaos bed vestiges to cook your food then i'd be ok with it

i haven't been playing any souls games within a couple month buffer period so that i don't feel extra annoyed about some of the slightly different controls, like a little baby.
