I´m gonna embrace the cheese with a disgusting magic build first time in my Souls career, but opening myself to PVP invasions.

I see too much cockiness in PVP fags. I´m gonna build explicitly my character and join the best covenant to ruin their lives and keeping them from having even a little bit of fun.

Anti pk faction is always the best you are the alpha wolf preying on PKs , getting true pvp and not preying on noobs, that's what i will join too if there's such faction in game.

 

[Steezus]

I thought there were no covenants this time around.

edit:nvm, factions are apparently confirmed.

It's funny how DeS and DS1 had the best UI design, and it got progressively uglier after that, game by game. Elden Ring UI looks the most gormless of the bunch.

I'm watching some of the Redbull streamers play the PC version now and it seems to be fine and without any severe performance issues. Even Asmongold who according to this article uses a 1080 card seems to be playing fine with some minor spikes here and there. I suppose it's possible that the review copies given to journalists might not have included the day 1 patch?

I did like Bloodborne UI. It was stylized to look like a journal which fit the setting and evoked the style in which Bram Stoker wrote Dracula.
I love this stuff and I wish more games featured robust UI. I can't stand the minimalist direction design went in the last decade.
Perhaps a thread about favorite UIs is in order!

Well so far two of the streamers have had their entire PC shut down while streaming the game during the event. Not a good outlook lol

There's no way a guy who makes $2.5 million a year is still using a 1080 ti.

Not sure at all. If you dont have rich parents and want to become wealthy the mindset is to live frugal and not buy stupid things. Buying a new card when yours is working for most games its stupid, you just change when you really cant play . So the guy keep his low living standard while investing the 2.5 millions $ andwill never work again in his life . That's the clever thing to do as he has no guarantee he will keep making that amount of money for long , i would do exactly that .

Several big Twitch streamers seem to take pride in having a scuffed setup and in being too lazy to upgrade. It's a "see how little I care" kind of thing.

I think the health bars and status icons looks ass, but the rest seems pretty slick.

Why not?
The only thing that outclasses it severely is a a 3080.Good luck getting one.
And even then why would you buy one with today's prices when a 1080 can last you for years more.

The 1080 ti was outclassed years ago when the 2080 ti came out, not only in performance but also features - the 10xx series can't do ray tracing or DLSS. As for the difficulty of getting a new card...a guy who makes 2.5 million can spend his pocket change on a 3090 from an Ebay scalper.

The guy lives in an attic and has dried blood on his walls because he used to wipe his fingers on them when his gums would bleed
I don't think you should try to rationalise all of his decisions

 

[randir14]

No wonder he looks like he never takes a shower. Guess he's saving money on the water bill as well.

What do you mean "he looks like". He doesn't just look like it, he himself says he doesn't shower for days and weeks on end. True peak chad.

 

[Shrimp]

Even if it can feel like a chore I don't understand how people not can shower at the bare minimum once per week. If I don't shower for like 2 or 3 days my hair starts getting greasy which ends up staining my headphones. Fuck that

 

[Tyranicon]

Most streamers are concentrated

 

[ferratilis]

Not sure if it was Asmongold or someone else, but I remember reading about how one of these millionaire streamers had his electricity cut off because he forgot to pay the bill. Imagine having all that money and forgetting to pay utilities lol.

EDIT: my bad, it was xqc

Are we sure that wasn't because someone cut their power during an important PVP event, or was that an unrelated thing because the people who play EVE Online are insane?

So rolling is (retarded) like DS3 afterall. Damn.

Ugh I can't watch half of these "games journalism" videos anymore.
