It is done. I am become Elden Lord. One of the best games I’ve played this generation. Amazing exploration, interesting characters, so much weapon, magic, and gear variety, fantastic music, beautiful environments, I could go on. First time I spent nearly 160 hours on a game. First time getting a platinum trophy.
I tried to get my character to look like Makima from Chainsaw Man. Those character sliders are tricky to make look good. This was the best I could do.
From Elden Ring to King’s Field IV: Ancient City (AKA Elden Eing hella beta).
There’s something about knockin slow ass skeletons with clunky controls in a first person view that’s so satisfying.
From a mechanics standpoint there’s so much already here that’s still being used in modern soulslike games. Weight system, stamina being used for attacking and running, killable NPCs, weapons having different attack attributes, equipping magic, interconnected world.
Who would’ve thought refining and evolving a game for like 20 years would eventually make it one of the most popular games of all time.
I’ve been playing so much Mario Kart 8 lately. I learned how to play 200cc and I don’t know if I can ever go back. I’m having a lot of fun trying to get 3 stars on each cup, 2/3s of the way there. There’s 24 cups in the game now, so it’s been keeping me busy.
Anyone playing the Silent Hill 2 remake? I’m having the best time…whilst constantly being tense with fear!
The OG was the first horror game I ever completed, and I remember feeling terrified before it even got delivered!
I’m around 8 hours into the remake and so far it’s captured that dread I felt all those years ago, and then some.
Bloober Team have done a bloody good job, expertly treading the line between faithful and innovative.
Also reliving my youth through this game, absolutely love it!
Been going back in time lately playing Castlevania Bloodlines and World Heroes 2. Haha.
Finished The Messenger recently (which was great) and now playing Ender Lillies and loving it! The gameplay is quite typical metroidvania, yet it still has a lot of small things which make this game stand out among others. Bosses are also quite challenging (tho if you are also a metroidvania veteran they won’t be that challenging) and really fun to fight against.
Going through Castlevania Curse of Darkness. 3D Castlevania games just aren’t very good. This one is probably the best one I’ve played, but it’s just a slog to explore. The story is par the course for a Castlevania game so not super interesting and the combat is pretty rudimentary.
There are some interesting systems like a steal mechanic. You have to figure out what triggers the steal window for each enemy. And of course you collect and level up little demon helpers.
Currently as always balls deep in heroic raiding on World of Warcraft and enjoying the relaunch of new world while dabbling the pc version of Final Fantasy 16.
I’m back on RE4make. I’m liking it a lot now on NG+ with the higher difficulty, and with my expectations for the presentation/story being tempered. I picked it back up around chapter 4 & forgot that voices come out through the controller, so it scared the shit out of my when Sadler first did that.
@Missa I too am playing through RE4make. I’m so used to the original on the gamecube that I’m not sure how I like this one yet. Obviously mechanically and visually it’s an upgrade. But the tone is different. All I can say is Ashley went from being annoying to <3<3<3<3<3<3
I’m currently playing the new Stardew Valley update 
and also trying to play Animal Crossing in Japanese for reading practice purposes. It’s prime cozy game time as the weather gets colder 
I’m playing Persona 5 Royal, next one will be Rune Factory 4 Special.
Totally agree!
I’m about to start Elden Ring NG+13 soon after having played NG+12 for around 300+ hours. It’s the longest playthrough I have ever played. Mostly to farm rare weapons, shields, and armors and to activate all the summoning pools out there which are now carried over to NG+. Basically, you have to open the entire world map to do so.
I’m trying to collect every single item in the game. If it’s weapons, I’ll collect two each for power stance unless it’s bows, cannons, and Serpent-Hunter which you’re allowed to have only one per character. If it’s armors that have an alternate version, I’ll collect both of them each. Thanks to this 100% checklist, so I know what I’m missing. Still not 100% but almost complete so far. I should have them all in the next playthrough.
The rarest drops for me practically were Noble’s Estoc and Noble’s Slender Sword. And the worst farming experience was to farm Envoy’s Greathorn at Miquella’s Haligtree lol.
I forgot to farm for that before completing my playthrough. Kinda glad it slipped my mind.
Yeah, you go all the way through all the hardship to beat him only to find out that he drops nothing most of the time. 
Instant fall to your death in every direction around you
Annoying bubble blowing enemies everywhere
The enemy is about as far away from a site of grace as you can get
Super low drop rate
Yup, checks out. It’s a FromSoft game
Back to Elden ring and just defeated Elden beast. Am excited to play the DLC with my new godskin apostle build
Infinity Nikki,
Genshin Impact no waifu challenge (impossible),
just finished 2nd co-op playtrough of BG3 with my GF, we’re already planning 3rd after the January update.
