Yeah I can only imagine how it’s been. I’m an Astrologer I fought him a few times around level 35 with a +3 staff before I decided to visit the south side of the map. To get enough rocks to upgrade your weapon you can find these “tunnels” that let you mine a decent amount. I also realized pretty quickly that the off-the-beaten-path bosses are much easier. None have killed me more than once or twice.

I’ve played all Soulsborne games at launch and it feels like Elden Ring is the most difficult yet IF (and it’s a big if) you don’t take the time to explore the world before attempting the main bosses. Godric the Grafted is not meant to be beaten by someone around level 30, which you can easily get to him by. For sure you’re meant to have a +7/8 weapon by that point and be 40+ with one of your atk stats sitting in the mid-high 30s.

Most approachable souls game yet! 👀👌

I find this article slightly ironic considering a majority of the “I can’t play one because the other exists” comments I’ve seen have been on this site. Feels like every Elden Ring article was filled with plenty of commenters saying they had no interest in it because HFW just came out.

Re: Distressing Horror Martha Is Dead Censored on PS5, PS4

Well light your pitchforks and sharpen your torches, tonight we march ladies and gentlemen!

In all seriousness this sounds disgusting but I’d rather all art go uncensored. As long as the consumer has an idea of what they’re in for I don’t think the creators vision should be altered.

Re: These Are the Franchises PS5, PS4 May Lose to Activision Blizzard Buyout

@EverydayRobot

Sorry if you’ve already been replied to, but the Game Pass catalog changes constantly, and as long as you have a sub you don’t lose a game even if it leaves Game Pass. So even if the catalog seems weak now I almost guarantee there will be something worth $15/month getting added shortly.

That being said I don’t sub to it either because I can’t stand subscription services. If they added the World of Warcraft subscription to Game Pass though I’d have no reason not to get it.

Re: Poll: How Long Should Games Be?

Shmoo

Well my most played games of all time are World of Warcraft, the Witcher 3, Breath of the Wild, and Fallout: New Vegas so I guess I’d say hundreds of hours lol.

This is really a “depends” kind of question.

Happy new year PS team! I’ve been coming to this site almost daily for about 16 months now.

My new year gaming resolution is to get through FF14 so I can finally play some endgame content lol 😅 started playing in January of 2020

Re: Tencent Buys Back 4 Blood Developer Turtle Rock Studios

Shmoo

Was really pumped for Back 4 Blood. Bought the game at launch and found it to be a soulless imitation of Left 4 Dead. This acquisition won’t help

@Royalblues oh Microsoft any day. These Chinese mega corporations are an extension of the CCP, the biggest human rights violators on the planet currently.

Re: It's Been One Year Since the Release of Cyberpunk 2077

Shmoo

Can’t believe it’s been a year! What a crazy year it’s been too lol.

Anyways I played this game about 80% of the way through before putting it down. Then when I picked it back up again I made a new character; got maybe 20% of the way in and put it down again.

I like the story and gameplay but the world itself felt kind of lifeless to me, and I didn’t care much for the loot system.

IMO they should’ve leaned harder into how they did things with the Witcher 3. Give us great side stories and leave all the tedious tasks as question marks that can be explored if you feel like it, so they’re not as distracting.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Call of Duty: Vanguard?

Shmoo

No. I love the direction they went in with MW2019, but Cold War was too big of a step backwards, and Vanguard doesn’t feel like a big enough step forwards. Oh well 🤷‍♂️ The best part about CoD is it’s the definition of “there’s always next year”
