I would be mad if From DIDN’T make it crossgen. Everyone alive deserves to have access to their games. Regardless of financial ability/discord or Twitter stalking to get a new one capability. I don’t have a doubt that the game will take full advantage of the New gen hardware while also running on old consoles. If it was Ubisoft or some other dev who would just get lazy I’d be worried, but From ain’t that. They will do it right. Everyone will get access to it. That’s good.

It's not about the aesthetics, from does a great job of doing a western aesthetic. It's that the visuals are objectively bad and totally out of date, and not in a stylized way that could be cool. It's not just in terms of poly count and texture res either, look at the big dudes pulling the coach in the trailer. Their heads are totally non-animated, all their hair and poo poo is very plainly just part of a static "head" model and even that isn't flexing relative to the body at all. That's probably the most egregious example, but even in the "better" areas the animation honestly looks like complete rear end for the most part, it's more like an early 360 era title than even a PS4 game. From doesn't seem capable of moving forward at all from where they were with Demons Souls other than adding in a few polygons and a bit higher res textures. There really isn't an excuse for this, while not everyone is always at the bleeding edge, there's no one else making $60 games that has adapted this little. Madden shows more visual improvement FFS.

In every from game spears guys, dogs and arrow guys gave me trouble. Sekiro gave me shurikens to defeat dogs and Mikiri to defeat spear guys.

I laughed my way through. They would never hurt me again.

I don’t know who thought spending the entire second half of the last boss trying to close football field lengths of distance WITHOUT torrent to do any damage was a good idea, but I’d like to kick them right in the fuckin nuts.

Is this also how the damage bonus works out? What about a dex scaling weapon in two hands?

In my experience if you're using 2+ normal weapons it's pretty easy to stall out in the [7]s and be stuck until you can get the final bell bearing right near the end.

Was trying to recover 86,000 runs and a hostile player showed up and killed me. I just deleted the game and have no interest in this poo poo.

I can't imagine ever running around with that many runes. poo poo, I even specifically save my golden runes for whenever I'm like 70-80% of the way to a level up, and then pop enough golden runes so I can spend all my runes and remove all risk of losing anything.

my takeaway was that they were different? probably an oversight tbh but you see statues of Marika in Farum with 3? dogs / shadows. We know each empyrean had one and Marika had AT LEAST one, maliketh. The statues could just be the other shadows that were sent to the other Empyreans but I like to think Marika kept a couple good boys for herself.

I don't think maliketh ever explicitly calls out any interactions between you and just calls you tarnished? I don't remember

I will admit to still feeling a bit unsure on Ranni’s ending. It feels really close to the scenario in Bloodborne that led to the Hunter’s Dream. Let us contact/empower/worship a moon themed outer god and it will help us protect our society from other Outer Gods. It seems really clear to me that the Moon in Ranni’s plot line is an Outer God and not the physical moon. There’s the Lunar Altar, various items describe both Ranni and Rennala meeting the moon and gaining guidance/inspiration to create sorceries that manifest the moon itself. Sorcery being the same process as incantation just achieved in a different way (calling upon the energies of greater beings, Sorcery calling upon the stars and such).

I do think it is intended to be a good ending of sorts, but one that is intentionally vague and mildly threatening. The Moon is just, really hard to trust what with the Moon Presence in Bloodborne, and at least one of the Eternal Cities was worshipping the moon.

Are all the endings just a short 30-40 second FMV or are some more detailed?

e. people comparing Radahn to other From superbosses kinda ignoring that Radahn is not a superboss in ER, rather than a capstone for the first *half* of the game

Vermain posted:

the summons made him categorically harder unless you were doing horse archery, which was primarily because of how absurd some of his attack hitboxes were

doing it solo allowed you to lure him to and fight him on slopes that would at least mitigate that issue, something impossible to do with a swarm of summons that lured him away and clogged up his legs to make moving out of attacks even harder

Vagabong posted:

They should of buffed Nokron instead of nerfing Radhan.

When people talk about his meteor attack, do they mean the one where he jumped up into the sky and shot down as a bid meteor? Because I found you could consistently dodge that by spinning the camera to spot his approach and then riding perpendicular to it.

Bloodborne probably has the best twist I've ever seen in any media.

My favorite part about the Explorer class is that it's Just Some rear end in a top hat. No traveling warrior, no storied vagabond with scars caked in battlefield dirt. Just some prick with a habit of sticking their nose where it doesn't belong. The others have swords and shields and spells and miracles

They've got a lovely kitchen knife and lots of shiny rocks they found on the ground. Wish ER had one of those.

Oh you know what I'd really love? A Perfumer starting class. God, can you even find a single perfume cookbook before Atlus Plateau? I really love the armor that you find around the Meteor Staff, but you also find a bottle that it'll take hours to even use.

Is there one with innate bleed on it?

My take: I feel like Melina is an agent of the Three Fingers/The Lord of Frenzied Flame based on the eye tattoo. I'd say, no, burning the Erdtree not in accordance with the Greater Will; definitely in accordance with The Lord of Frenzied Flame.
