Ya imo even more than Bethesda, I am hyped for Obsidian getting the Microsoft triple a budget they still have potential meanwhile Bethesda's rpg's have been getting worse and worse. Ya the gunplay has improved from F3 to F4 but all the rpg elements have suffered. I have the Outer Worlds in my backlog, I wonder how that is.

The trick to that guy is to get a shield and big-dick shield counter him forever

The wolves before him killed me when the game stuttered though, so with that and the crafting being kind of eh I'm forced to give Elden Ring merely a 9/10

i'll have to go back and try again. I got him down to one more hit, but then I got greedy and died and can't be bothered since I might just die on the way to the level-up place anyway lol. his swings are timed really well to gently caress you if you spam dodge roll, instead of delay for the right moment. but if you keep on him he will use his overhead chop move that lets you get in several good hits.

Something I appreciate is that if you always go for a shield counter you'll get owned, because some enemies keep moving, and move to a perfect position to react to your counterattack. A lot of enemies will delay or extend their charge or thrust for you to stop rolling too. It's so good

Tree Sentinel can do the exact same thing you can do where you hold down heavy attack and just run into enemies and instant kill them lmao

It also instantly killed me, which is fair

For people who want to PvP as much as possible -

Once you make it to the hub area the invader boss you can fight in the hall drops an item that makes it more likely to be invaded

How do you fight that boss? I didn't see one in there or a sign or anything.

So just in response to the people who have played a chunk and feel like "It's just a Souls game and I've seen it before," I think that's a fair take but I think the game also does itself a massive disservice by having its opening area being semi-generic. poo poo gets extremely hosed later on and while it's still very Souls, they definitely back loaded the new mobs and weird poo poo.

It is pretty funny just how much of a Dark Souls it is though

I was joking it's Dark Souls 2 2 but actually, it completely is

Margit down using the power of... the same spell I've been using since the game started. Also the NPC summon and jellyfish, who probably did 90% of the work. No idea how Faith is working out but having 2/3 of the usable spells so far be your starter spells feels wrong. I could probably upgrade and mod my shortsword to do split scaling and beat the hell out of magic.

I thought you couldn't use the spirits with summons? Do NPC summons not count?

I don't really understand why there are two co-op items and the one is a crafting item. The consumable crafting item puts it down wherever, the permanent one puts it down around those statue things in the places where you'd want to put it down anyway.

Kind of just feels superfluous

Two handing's worked pretty well so far with my lovely club, especially with guard counters. Keep in mind a guard counter prevents you from taking damage.
