52 days kids. Remember, always pre-order (fromsoft games) because it will make them feel nice and fuzzy inside and continue to create games that are the exact opposite of Final Fantasy (good)

Yeah, I feel like people (especially 'tubers) go out of their way to dissect these things and particularize them into some kind of measureable scientific phenomena and that's just so loving far from the point, which is that they are often beyond true comprehension and can only be fathomed abstractly, especially in Bloodborne. Scientism makes everything boring.

It can be fun to sit down and dissect things and apply some kind of ontological rigidity in the sense that you are further reflecting on the plot and story; possibly realising something you hadn’t before, and most importantly “wondering”…but on the other hand you get people who go full two different notes on the xylophone and make 7 hour “refutations” of the game’s coherence. Those people watch Ben Shapiro and fail to make the most minor salient point in casual conversation at any time in their lives

Have you tried a black flame run in DS3? It’s loving laughable, two barely aimed black orbs or whatever can take down the nameless King’s drake and then you just casually walk up to him and spam black flame without needing to take an ashen flask and he dies pretty much before he can attack.

Black flame is the ultimate high level grinding tool

Why do I keep hearing “R2 attacks were rarely used except for niche situations, utterly pathetic inclusions that no sane man would make use of - a creepy little man’s tool”.

This sounds like straight up history revisionism, I used charge R2s all the fuckin time in every soulsborne. And the good old jumping attack

Does anyone know if people have calculated what the iframe situation is for dodges in Elden Ring? Supposedly the window is smaller than in DS3, but I haven't seen anything specific. For reference standard DS1 dodges had 9 iframes, Bloodborne had 11 iframes and DS3 13 iframes (based on a 30 FPS metric).

edit: And Sekiro deflection window would be 15 frames if using a 30 FPS metric

I’m do recall seeing some YouTube video breaking that down (as much as they could) but unfortunately I cannot remember what video. It’s out there!

But playing the network test was quite funny, I got to the main boss and was thinking “in DS3 I would be able to dodge all these attacks without getting hit” and came to the unscientific feeling conclusion that the iframe window seems smaller than every game bar Sekiro and DS2 without levelling ADP. I wasn’t complaining but I did think it was going to be a harder game than expected.

However this was all negated when I jumped down the tutorial cave that I somehow completely missed at the very beginning of the network test and realised parried were easier, R2s do more damage and posture damage, posture was far more important than I had thought, you need to press two buttons now to two hand, and the all important incredibly cool guard counter - which I had no idea existed until I had beaten that boss it was great to be back in the “I have no idea what I’m doing” mode in a From game and slowly realising new basic fundamentals.

Can we take a second to appreciate that From Software are absolute bros and the game is going to launch globally at the same time?

Unfortunately, that happens to be the middle of the night here - but what's even worse, I'll be on my way home from a trip that has been a long time in the making and I didn't anticipate the launch hour then. A grave mistake. I won't be able to play until later in the day. No getting up at 3 am with hollowed eyes in the darkness in front of the screen.

Oh poo poo I thought you meant it’ll release globally at the same like…galactic time, not that those peoples of the Oceanics will be playing the game like a day before the rest of the world. Must stay away from Twitch and YouTube and twitter and essentially the internet on Thursday then.
