It's this mentality that allows FromSoft to keep getting away with subpar effort into their quests and characters.

Good. If I want to talk to townspeople for half an hour, I'll play any other rpg.
There's a reasonable middle-ground between these extremes, m'edgelord.

23 minutes of dialog from this cunt.
Spread over 200+ hours of gameplay.
The games not 200 hours long.
Yea, closer to 300 hours, judging by your own screenshot. :lol:

That's 4 different play throughs you Jewish retard.
Ah, we're in the "this game is so terrible that I played it 4 times with a total of almost 300 hours" territory.
I never said the game was terrible. I said the game has serious issues that should have been corrected in Dark souls and has gone in a shitty direction. And that Miyazaki is a thief and takes credit for shit he stole from else where or others did.

That's the same as saying that it's terrible. Non-terrible games cannot be described as "having serious issues and having gone in a shitty direction". They are also not played 4 times for a total of 300 hours. You need to pick your narrative here, edgelord junior.

And I was right about Melina originally, if anything, it feels like she's not in the game often enough. So you're just flat-out wrong in every way.

Are you going to defend the virgin abductors hitting you through the floor in volcano manor? An issue we knew existed in Dark souls 3 with the chain monsters in the dragon peak boss room and From still didn't correct? Or the way the camera breaks on larger bosses or drops lock on against fast bosses which often gets you hit through no fault of your own?

Literally didn't even know this could happen, and I've played through volcano manor twice much more meticulously than you, apparently, did.

Another thing I don't remember being an issue. Maybe you're just born unlucky.

I do remember the camera bugging out slightly a few times, but it's a low to mid level issue, not something that would either make or break the game.

For someone who wants to shit talk people for pointing out issues you sure are ignorant of issues. Some posted in the thread you apparently don't read since there's been videos of it happening posted in response to you.

You should change back to your old avatar. You would be easier to spot and ignore for being an ignorant twat.

Those things suck the first time they occur, no argument there, but once you know they're variables, you can adjust for them. It's just a part of the gitting gud process.

The worlds biggest cope after world peace ever happening.

I am good. I still don't like getting randomly smashed by a weapon I can't see or know is coming because it comes through the floor.

Christ what a whiner.

Not quests, secrets.

So the Souls games can keep experienced players on their toes and prevent things from becoming entirely rote. This is bad for some reason.

No, there's one in the actual dungeon in the lava by a tower. It's able to hit you through the tower on the opposite side or can aggro and attack you up through the floor. There's issues with almost all the virgins in that area because the attack range is so long and they're positioned in places capable of sniping you from places you can't see/haven't got to yet.

Volcano manor has a lot of issues like this. It's either unfinished like Lost Iz was (which had less issues if you didn't mind being blind..) or they didn't give a fuck and thought it was fair game to let enemies do stuff like this. There's places the lizards with whips will hit you through walls as well, which is also quite annoying.

60 INT + Meteorite Staff (off-hand) + Carian Regal Scepter + Terra Magica + Wondrous Physick (+int, +magic dmg) + Magic Scorpion Charm = 1622dmg with Rock Sling. And I'm sure there are other buffs that can be applied. And let's not even talk about crazy shit like Comet Azur, that's another level.

Another funny thing is that the Arrow's Reach Talisman also affects Rock Sling, which means your range is increased by 65%, crazy stuff for items you can obtain immediately. Their approach to design is interesting, you get so much power from the get-go. If you want challenge, then you need restraint. Can't say this is a bad approach, because the thing I dislike about a lot of modern games is how much they focus on balance. Good thing about ER is that there's something for everyone.

You can apply other buffs: talismans and head items to get attack power when you get blood loss, poisoned, rotten, frenzied, when your HP is low, incantations like golden cow and howl of shabriri for a combined 35% damage etc.
Plus this video. Watch it.

Nobody does, it's some completely random and extremely minor bug that Smell Swarm latched on to as an excuse to hate on ER.

If you've experienced this abductor maiden bug that Smell Swarm is raving about, rate this post as doggy. If not, rate it as kitty.

"Minor bug"







Notice the footage is from.

Dark souls, Dark souls 2, Dark souls 3 and Elden Ring. That's 15 years of game development and it's still not fixed.
