Halo is the Chaos Bed. A terrible mistake created by trying to imitate something irreplaceable in a medium unsuited to it.

I think I'm looking forward to the release of Elden Ring more now just to end the nonstop speculation about PC requirements.

The PC requirements are to shut the hell up and talk about what kind of skeletons there will be and how cool the swords will be.

I see the game's finally joining seasonal sales. Do I want to play it on a top-end PC or XBox SeX?

What NG Level 1 build is fun from get? I'll hear out DEX/INT if there's a route that gets it up and fun early enough. Everything else is on the table, too, (save a duplicate of my Vig/End/Str man) just spare me rushing to Greyoll to mash R1 for 10 mins so I can play the build or whatever.

if you're on steam try verifying the integrity of the game files by right clicking elden ring in your games list and going to properties > installed files. other things to try would be updating/reinstalling display drivers and probably seeing if you can reinstall any controller device driver you're using too. if that doesn't work then here's something from someone else who had the same problem.

if you don't see anything like that going on then make sure your input devices and anything else have a good stable connection to the pc and they're not disconnecting intermittently, even if it's wireless.

Further Letters from Limgrave

I had a little time to play last night and elected to do a little exploration.


Edit: Oh yeah, this stupid fucker has an item with Margit's name for sale, the cuffs or something? While I can't test it now because the dumbass is dead, I suspect those could have been used like the music box against Father G in Bloodborne, right? I could have USED that. Next time, next time. /edit

Dear Thread,

I'd like to start a third character and am looking for suggestions. I've gotten 100% of the achievements and have seen all the important endings.

• My first character was STR/FAI and rocked a tower shield with Golden Halberd, then she respecced to high INT to use the Dark Moon Greatsword. She's about L230
  
• Second character is DEX/ARC and was focused on status buildup initially, but then pivoted into poise destruction when I discovered Spectral Lance on a Guardian's Swordspear. He's capped at L150 and I just use him for PVE co-op.
  

Planning on keeping this third character around L80 or L100 to also focus on PVE (and maybe PvP) co-op. Looking for a fun play style or gimmick I haven't tried before. TIA

Can we stop using this argument please? It comes up constantly and it is possibly the single least thought-through idea in video games discussion, maybe next to "realism always equals more fun."

"Oh this game is only 99.9% exactly what you want, where no other game remotely comes close to doing what this game does best? Well if this is the game perfect for you in every way but one extremely specific thing you might not like about it... maybe you should just abandon it entirely and find 'another game' to fill this niche, which you and I both know good and well doesn't exist and never will?"

Games these days can be absurdly complex and expansive, with many different parts and systems constantly phasing in and out of the player's attention and engagement. It is absurd to think that if someone thinks a vanishingly small subset of these systems are undesirable, then the proper response to that critique should be "well if you don't LIKE IT you can LEAVE IT! If you can't HANDLE me at my WORST then you don't DESERVE me at my BEST."

GreatGreen posted:

Or instead of a mod, the community could talk about what works vs what doesn't, and hopefully studios respond by moving their designs closer to what people want. Otherwise you just end up with Bethesda, a company who has no idea why their games work at all, and most of the time they don't, so they need dozens of simultaneous entire-system overhaul mods working in tandem just to make their games even remotely entertaining.

Also, loudly flexing about how everybody else is probably just lazy and not gud for not wanting to engage with the parts of a game they don't like isn't the own you think it is.

This is also my "clear everything region by region and use all rune consumables" run and my findings is that if you clear everything before Haligtree and Farum Azula, you will end up at roughly level 160. The game remains as bullshit as ever despite this, thanks to the scaling.
