More on Elden Ring. When we last left off, I was having a little rant about exclusives. I was listening to the Playstation Access podcast about Game of the Year (before the show), and they were gushing about Ragnorok. And I couldn’t help thinking, “Of course you’re going to go on about it. You’re Playstation-affiliated!”… Continue Reading
More Elden Ring, bay-bee! NPC questlines. In the past games, you could miss the whole questline if you missed a step or two. For Elden Ring, however, they made the change so that you can miss a step or five and still do the quest. For example. My beloved Blaidd. I got the dialogue from… Continue Reading
Yesterday, I used many words to build up my GOTY award. I left off the last post by talking about the map. It is a thing of beauty. I want a real-life version of it because it is magnificent. It was so elegantly done, I could not stop marveling over it. I loved how you… Continue Reading
In my last post, I talked about the state of my gaming thtis year. I didn’t hand out cute little awards as I normally would because, well, there wasn’t much point to it this year. I have not played many new games and there aren’t any that I would actually want to give an award… Continue Reading
Last night were whe game awards, and I was nervous. I wanted Elden Ring to win GOTY in a way I haven’t wanted any game to win before. I was convinced that Ragnorak was going to creep up at the last moment and steal it away. I annoyed Ian by bemoaning the situation over the… Continue Reading
Elden Ring. We were talking about the NPC questlines in FromSoft games and how brilliant they are. In the first Dark Souls game, Solaire’s questline demonstrates the mentality of FromSoft towards NPC questline. The first time through the game, you run into him and probably are just happy to have a friendly face in your… Continue Reading
In the last post, I finished by whining about the catacombs/caves in Elden Ring. I hate them. I’ll be honest. The first playthrough, I went into every cave I could find and went to look for more. That’s because I wanted to experience all the content there was to be had. That’s my nature with… Continue Reading
I want to talk more about Elden Ring, of course. Here is my post from yesterday. Now. Let’s get down to the nitty gritty. Elden Ring has been rightly lauded with changing the open world genre. This is the aspect I was most worried about before the game released because I don’t like open world… Continue Reading
I’ve watched a bunch of stuff about Elden Ring (FromSoft, natch) since I finished it. I’m on my fourth playthrough, trying to do a dex character with a healthy amount of Intelligence. I’m in the first third, but I’ve ventured into a later area. I did a mad dash into a fort in Caelid to… Continue Reading
Elden Ring. I’m back to playing it instead of Dark Souls II (Scholar of the First Sin). Why? Because I miss it and because I’m at the DLC for SotFS. I am in the minority, but I think the DLCs are too try-hard with too much emphasis on being HARD. Also, as a very squishy… Continue Reading
