Re: Elden Ring Becomes Biggest New IP In Europe Since The Division

@UltimateOtaku91 elden ring, compared to other souls games, is the most welcoming. The grinding isn't as bad as other games, the summons and multiplayer summons are quite helpful. "Easy mode" would be being a spell caster. "Very easy mode" would be looking up walkthroughs, etc. You still have to beat the enemies yourself, but having a guide does ease it a bit. Also, for example, margit and godrick are hard, but there are a lot of little bosses to prepare you, on the way. Just gotta adventure and seek them out, like the evergoal's.

Re: Early Adopters Seem To Be Enjoying The xScreen For Xbox Series S

Gonna be that guy, but this is very, very niche. You can get a 15" 1080p/60hz/hdr/freesync screen for $165+. Plugs right into the either usb port on the series s. Less obtrusive to the rear ports and can be used on the ps4/phone/pc/mac. Hell, BenQ makes some decent monitors with speakers for $40-50 more.

Re: Xbox Wants To Provide A 'Steady Flow Of Great Games' Moving Forward

I'm not worried about ms first party devs and line ups. I'm more worried about third party devs once again not making games for xb. Squarenix(and others) not making games for xb, some of the smaller AA games not making it to the xb, etc.

Ps pays for exclusivity, so to counter that, ms bought devs. It is, what it is.

Re: Poll: Have You Bought Elden Ring?

πŸ€”too early to tell. But enjoying my 2hr jaunt, thus far.

Started as the wretch. Beat the guard in the tutorial area. Avoided the big golden horseback guy, killes some animals, cleared the front gate area, found a sword and armor bottoms, got torrent, rode off, got shot by a ballista, died, went back to get my souls, I mean runes. Found the grace, went to bed.

Looking forward to another round of "live or die". Holding a weapon with 2-hands is a but cumbersome, you have to press [LB]+[RB]+Y at the same time. Sneaking is a very viable way to go through the game. So far, i must've backstabbed everyone.

Re: Elden Ring Analysis Video Compares Xbox Vs PS5 Performance

I must be old...is this what people think of while playing games? Framerates and resolutions? In my days explosions would cause framerate drops. At the end of every round, in SFII on SNES, there was massive slowdown. All this on carts, mind you, but not once did I stop my enjoyment, to think, "whoa, look at the framerate. Garbage game". You young ones have got it lucky.

Re: State Of Decay 2 Gets Huge Graphical Overhaul In Its Latest Update

@LocalPenguin it's a great game. It's the unofficial walking dead, the game.

  • Search and salvage for supplies(food, building materials, fuel, guns, ammo)
  • find a habitable and safe base camp
  • interact with other groups(get more survivors, allies or make some foes)
  • make sure people are happy and healthy
  • There are vehicles, which come with more pros and cons.
  • day and night cycle
  • Different types of zeds.
