VideoGames posted:I do not quite get that post about the chalice dungeons (or indeed the dungeons themselves). I could not do the first headstone (a short root chalice is needed), but did create one on the second one and did levels 1-3 (The overlord dog was a very cool looking boss!). A couple comments. Each chalice, if thoroughly explored, should yield the proper ritual materials needed to create the next one, the order goes: - Pthumeru Chalice - Central Pthumeru - Lower Pthumeru - Make sure you get the Workshop Haze Extractor from Layer 2 - Ailing Loran - Layer 2 treasure room contains the Beast Claw, a weapon you'd need for the All Weapons trophy - Defiled Chalice - Lower Loran - Great Isz - Pthumeru Ihyll Hintertombs are not required but can be done around Lower Pthumeru. They don't really yield much besides some clothes. ------- As far as Dark Souls is concerned, it'll probably take you a bit longer to get the pace of it, it's a slower game where you have to carefully and steadily move further and further away from precious resources in order to progress, including bonfires. Be careful going to the Catacombs too early though as it's late game content and if you get stuck down there with no way to teleport out you're going to make things really REALLY frustrating for yourself. This mistake is more common than you might think! My suggestion would be to turn back and instead explore further down into Blighttown, Valley of Drakes, or find the entrance to Darkroot Garden nearby Andre the Blacksmith. Good luck!

VideoGames posted:Yeah that chalice stuff up there, should I be removing a done chalice and building a new one? I have some loran stuff already. It is a bit confusing. Also shared fixed are the ones in the game? And how do I do the ones with passwords? Yeah, consider them like save slots. You're free to delete the completed chalice as long as you've confirmed that you have all the ritual material you need for the next one. If you don't have the ritual materials you need then you can always pop back into the levels and poke around the sidepaths for whatever you missed. This usually isn't an issue in the early chalices, but if you forget to grab a high level Ritual Blood in a later chalice you might not have what you need to progress, and in that case it would be a mistake to delete the chalice you need pre-emptively. Shared Fixed are the story chalices, yes, and you can summon homies on them just like normal as long as they have the same levels and lamps open. Glyph chalices can be made on the Makeshift Altar, you should be able to buy the Short Ritual Root Chalice for that at the Insight Messenger Bath for 10 Insight. Sounds like Blight Town is your main destination then! Once you've rang the bell down there you'll open up another new area near where you met the Onion Knight. Also, Andre can sell you an item to open up the Artorius Seal door in DarkRoot Garden, so you'll want to explore the part of Darkroot that doesn't branch off down into Darkroot Basin.

veni veni veni posted:No way, Dark Souls 2. They added that stupid poo poo that thankfully went away after DS2, where you can't run again until your stamina regens all the way and everything feels floaty and sluggish and just all around off. Unless you aren't counting DS2 as a real Souls game, which I wouldn't fault you for.

veni veni veni posted:I'm torn on PS4 or PC. On PC it'll probably be closer to the eventual PS5 version, and when the PS5 update comes out there's very little chance I'm going to want to play it all over again already. So if I go with PS4 I'm not going to get the next gen experience for like 3 years because that's probably how long it would be before I'd want to replay something like that. On the other hand I don't want to play it hunched over a laptop so I'm probably just going to deal with longer load times and less pedestrians. I guess I could just hook my laptop up to the TV but meh. I'll probably just go with PS4. Having been on board at the Witcher 3 launch I can definitively say 2077 will not be worth wading through at launch, and you might as well wait a few months.

FlamingLiberal posted:Didn't Respawn confirm they were working on Titanfall 3? They were, using modified source, then it got put on hold...probably because they anticipated changing engines, so basically it became a next-gen game on the back-burner while they focused on live services and rehab of the star wars license. JBP posted:I'm pretty certain that TF3 turned into Apex and that's how it is now They were being developed concurrently because they used the same engine, then plans for TF3 were put on the back-burner, probably because the studio was split in too many directions.

Wolfsheim posted:I picked up Celeste on sale thinking it would be a chill platform puzzle game that would ease you into its challenge (the kind of thing my girlfriend loves, she platinumed Rayman Legends for example) but by the end of the first stage you're basically playing late-game Super Meat Boy style 'gently caress you idiot do it again' difficulty and then in the second stage they functionally add a timer that chases you jfc It's definitely a 'splatformer', but the music, art, and story are super good, and there's an assist mode where you can tweak game variables if it becomes too arduous. I had to accept my own defeat during the super hard B-Sides, never before has my hand cramped up so bad playing a videogame. I find the main game very approachable though, and you're definitely meant to die a lot no matter the case.

VideoGames posted:Celeste is a game I love and would make my TGOAT list when I finish it. It started to get very tough for me in world 5 and I have this crippling problem with games like that when the objectives (strawberries) are on view in that I cannot continue if I cannot get them. I think I have something like 800 deaths in my current playthrough It'd be a shame to miss the story over a few fruity trinkets imo, it really is a nice one.

fridge corn posted:Picked up where I left off in the fixed chalice dungeons and stomped the undead giant which was a wall for me last time but the next boss is rom!!!! Undead Giant is a loving slog, that's the second one right? With the spinning chainballs? Ugh, when I made a bloodtinge build I was really happy to gank Defiled Amy and Undead Giant with the bowblade. For chalice Rom I really recommend just full on rush Kirkhammer with bolt paper active, ignore the spiders, just dodge like mad and try to do as much damage before the first teleport as possible. You are definitely going to die prematurely a few times but it's the least tedious method imo

VideoGames posted:I scream a lot! I am lucky enough to be one of those people who properly gets immersed in games, like the characters are extensions of myself. One of the most terrifying moments I have ever experienced in a game was during STALKER and I was in the underground labs and you meet the Judge for the first time. That weird noise followed by the camera zoom jumping towards his face over and over again caused me to absolutely flip out and panic and try to escape up the ladder as if I was actually being attacked myself. There were a couple that were particularly good, at 47:42 when the boulder machine switched back behind you without any notification, that was funny as hell. And then up top when the giant started throwing explosives down at you, that was loving primo streaming entertainment.

If you do enough damage to Rom before she makes her initial teleport then the other two waves will drop simultaneously. fridge corn posted:I hear ya buddy. I did chalice rom a few days ago. Went into that fight overconfident and underpreparded. Humbling experience. Make sure your dodging is on point, your bloodvials are at 24, wear an HP up rune or two (also the Executioner's covenant rune), and be very familiar with enemy attacks. You can watch Shuhei Yoshida beat Defiled Hotdog in this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljVnni3vUd8 YOSP is so dope that he actually did it twice, for japanese AND american audiences. Truly he is king of all videogame execs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8FNU7W9AOQ As far as Defiled Amy goes, make sure your weapon is in extended or 2H mode, summon a friend, and ...ummm, pray to the moongod I guess.
