Elden Ring - gamertags on first page

Doesn’t look like it. She did around half but not that but she composed the fucking amazing ds3 main title theme and the blood borne one.

Malenia is so cool. Apart from that one attack, it's a really fun fight. Not looking for tips or strategies or anything, but is it possible to cleanly dodge that mad combo she does at med load? I've only managed to survive it a few times but it's mostly dodge spamming and luck at the moment. Often it's a trip to the You're Dead screen even at full health (I think she could probably kill me 4 times over). I've got 45 vigor now- I treated myself to some after Godskin Duo (level 85)

Haligtree was much rougher than Farum Azula and contained a fair bit of silliness, like those 3 crystal enemies in a tiny little space and all those crawly things with the crowns. It seemed like that area was designed for you to sneak by but then one just materialises from the ground in the middle of the path

Looks like I'm going to be going back and forth between Malenia and Maliketh for a while. Got the DLC downloading so I'll have a look at that as well when it's done

peacemaker is Sekiro 60fps on Series X? I think it was 30 when I played it on PS4 and I've heard it's a lot easier at 60. Really fancy playing it but Namco Bandai need to sort their pricing out. They still want £60 for it and £70 for DS3. They aren't even current gen

Struggling to find a cheap price for Sekiro, nothing available on cdkeys and it's expensive as fuck everywhere else. Is it because it's an Activision published game and their absolute gouging?

From what I've seen it barely goes on sale on either platform and has maintained almost full price since release. So yeah classic Activision. I haven't played it before but I would like to try a From Software game that actually gives the player more tools in terms of player ability. I understand it's way more linear so it's more git gud than anything if and when you reach a roadblock.

If you haven't played it before, it might be worth full price if you're impatient. It's a great action game. I've finished it a few times already though so I don't want to pay that

It is difficult but a lot fairer than Elden Ring. There's only really one way to play it. You'll know you can parry nearly everything (there's a few attacks you have to dodge or counter but it's made really clear). Took me a while to get the hang of it but once I did, it was brilliant. Finished it 3 times back to back. It's a much more even game than anything else they've made

Once you've learned a boss and can parry everything they throw at you, it feels amazing. Lots of cool boss fights too

There used to be a member here called bichii who played it about 600 times

Pro Sekiro tip - don't worry about trying to time your parries, just keep tapping the block button and you will almost certainly get the block. You may not get the perfect parry (does big posture damage to the enemy), but will keep you protected most of the time.

Made the game a hell of a lot easier when I realised how effective just hammering L1 is.

Sekiro is great. I don't think it is quite up there with Dark Souls or Bloodborne, but the bosses are possibly the best From have ever done.

It's my favourite FROM game of the lot, just pipping Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Think it's time for another playthrough...

Is anything not staged anymore?

Probably an owl. The fuckers have almost given me several heart attacks.

It greatly depends on playstyle, with the popular solo melee+dodge playstyle he's BS, with some others he's a total joke. It's wildly imbalanced and could have used more time in the oven. I suspect he may be unfinished due to rushed release, which on the upside would mean that he might get fixed via patches.

It's a tough pill to swallow if you're among the many no-shield nazis. I couldn't be bothered anymore though so I eventually switched to a greatshield and suddenly he was like the easiest and most braindead boss fight ever.

Another one of the new remembrance bosses--one of the fan-favourites--was also weird. I tried it the regular way for a while but then I realised it was much easier to just face tank him with claws, despite playing a light load build with little defence. It didn't feel like that was supposed to happen.

I mean, I understand the appeal for the "what do you mean that boss was difficult, I beat it without taking a hit" crowd, who will presumably lose all credibility with their peers if they so much as look at a shield.

But like... this is an explosion that covers half of an arena. How is it that you can roll through it and not take even a little bit of damage.
