Thanks ! I was reading that there are some tools/mods that can help unlock frame rate. Wondering if that’s bannable or I should be ok ?
Per one of these framerate unlocker pages, you have to disable EasyAntiCheat to use the mods, which makes your game run in offline mode by default
i.e no "finger but hole" "liar ahead" etc messages
many times these messages are helpful like they tell you if some mook(s) will ambush you from a corner ahead or stuff like that.
TLDR you won't get banned because you can't play online with the mod

I played Bloodborne for around 100 hours (campaign,some grinding & few MP sessions)
It was really nirvana for me back then but today’s age & timeline is not same for me.
But considering what Bloodborne was 7 years ago….is it that good or even much beyond that?!?!
(for someone who experienced both at launch)Yes, but doesn't have Bloodborne's Lovecraftian-Victorian horror atmosphere or trick weapons, it's more of a DS successor than BB.
From BB the inspiration is the inclusion of "outer gods" in the story/lore, like some bosses are explicitly powered by outer gods
It's a must play game this year.

Planning to get this. Can anyone recommend between ps5 and pc? I want to get it on pc but I’m hearing optimisation issues and locked frame rate. Did they fix it ? There is no dlss/fsr ?
No DLSS, if you use RivaTuner/MSI AFB for the overlay that shows your FPS and all that tanks framerate.
Otherwise only optimization issue I faced later on is the fight vs Dragon Fortissax, because the dragon is covered in red lightning and does lightning attacks every 5 seconds, idk if it's optimization or my gpu can't handle it.
Buy on PC, it's cheaper, just 2.5k.
Also yes it's still 60 fps afaik, doesn't make a difference to me, i have a potato 1080 60fps monitor.
set grass and volumetric quality to medium if you're having issues.

Aisa kya hai Elden Ring Mai!!
The amount of madness it has caused in Gaming Fraternity is insane
imo currently it's overrated and in honey moon period + xbots( on this forum, idk other places )
It's a very good game though and a massive improvement over the main DS games.
I am currently clocking 110 hours on elden ring, that much content it has with 0 grinding or anything for the levels.
and compared to most fantasy/sword fighting based open world games it has tons of variety in weapon types and spells and all.
Once you get PS5 play it, may not be like some IGN 10/10 game people are making it up to be, but if you like the *souls games you will love this.

I've bought the game twice and haven't been able to make headway. Maybe now is the time.
I'm not able to start any new game since Elden Ring.
set difficulty to casual or easy or whatever and play aram se.
combat here is a meme so just enjoy the story/characters/exploration

I generally download blu ray remuxes.
Although for this one only HBO max rip was available.
HBO max rips are pretty good in general. Although the one I downloaded didn't have DV which was disappointing.
Quality is pretty solid tbh. Key difference vs blu ray would be in audio which I won't notice anyways because I don't have home theater system.
How big in size are these rips? For good quality i mean, i see ones that are like 10gb marked as 4k bluray rips.

Watched Batman again on oled.
What a beautiful movie. Liked it even more on a re-watch.
I think the only issue I had with it was even with how awesome it was, the penguin chase scene had Batman showing blatant disregard for human life.
I don't think the plot armour is an issue. Batman has always had impenetrable plot armour across all mediums.
Multiverse of Madness was also pretty fun. The story is dumb as sh*t but the movie just goes wild with the visuals and action.
This has to be the most violent MCU movie so far. I think it's the first time we actually see blood in MCU.
Y'all OLED walas watch your films on blu-ray or via some streaming service?
If it's a streaming service is the quality and HDR good?

I want to stay melee and be able to use the fancy attacks that all these fights have. Just got the Rivers of Blood Katana which looks interesting too.
Don't have a specific build at the moment. I think it's 40 vigor, 50 strength, Dex is in the high 30s I think. Rest is just allocated here and there.
Will check out a couple of in-action build videos of the ones you mentioned, thanks.
If you've decided on any weapon to stick with( like you'll upgrade it all the way) check the weapons fextra life page, it will show you what stat of the weapons gives good scaling S, A, B are good, and then pour points into that stat for most dps benefit
For flashy melee moves you can check out the greatwords, there is this one ash of war called lion's claw, many others also that have flashy moves
You can try colossal weaons also if your str only, most of them have unique weapon arts/skills

Completed Niall, no cheese and pants-less finally. Had to use the dummy though.
Quite split between continuing with the current build or respec-ing. Health wise I'm just getting one or two shotted now and barely even doing as much damage to be a glass canon.
What is your current build? quality?
You may consider switching to int + dex or fth + str, you can then use elemental buffs on normal weapons, or do some kind of tower shield and spear build, or dual wield GS, or dual wield katanas.
for int + dex you can do moonveil and uchigatana with cold infusion and hoarfrost stomp skill, for int + str you can dw helphen's steeple GS and moonlit GS or dw Starscourge GS.
I wouldn't recommend going full int or fth caster because the bosses will one or two shot you before you can cast solo, so you'll have to use spirit ash + summons if available.
I am personally going to switch to str + fth once i'm done with Malenia

This is 282 rs on epic store. Worth it?
- I think it goes lower on steam
- steam is a better platform
It's 200 on steam during sale https://steamdb.info/sub/124923/

Guess I'm overleveled now, went up against Shardbearer Mohg , promptly disposed off him into second phase with mohg's shackle and then the mimic tear killed him( good because it's cancer in 2nd phase every swing of the spear sprays blood fire across the arena ).
Mohg is comedy because you can still beat his a*s while he does NIHIL x3
Then fought Godfrey who was kicking my a*s left right and center with his earthquake stomp aoe and axe swings, had to summon Nepheli aside from my mimic
which actually sucked because once he went to second phase as Hoarah Loux both killed him
Anyway now I'm sure Malenia will balance out my over-leveled char
Or Dragonlord Placidusax

Looks beautiful, some screenshots.
Pity that the FPS in the open areas drops a lot, and my GPU usage is 100%
I want to upgrade but don't want to pay scalper pricing :\

God of War was the pinnacle of gaming. Then Elden Ring came and sat beside it to rule together.
different games but Elden Ring is better than Dad of Boi.
The old GoWs were much more fun than both Dad of Boi and Elden Ring though.

Game gives wrong button prompts some times.
When I say wrong i mean PS4 button prompts for Xbox controller, like something about vaulting over obstacles using the X button
on PS4
on Xbox controller it is A button, X is for throwing a weak a*s punch on xbox controller
I thought Eidos Montreal is a big studio with established QC procedures, don't they even test this stuff?
Game looks pretty nice, I took a few screenshots, good it has photomode

Trust me, I would be more than happy to suggest him 3070 or above in normal situation. But current GPU market isn't normal!
Unless you getting actual MRP from RPTech, I would wholeheartedly suggest 3070, 3070Ti or 3080. Imagine 63k price for 3080 from RPTech vs the 63k for 3060ti from Market right now. That's bullshit pricing tbh.ikr it's bullshit but RPTech queues are far too long, primeabgb had an Asus 3070 for a good price couple of weeks back but that's OOS now, these kind of good price deals are very rare now.

Who's he you are referring to
Adity, comingle, panopticon, gamer adi, who exactly.
Adity comingle is the same guy with the same account just changed his name.
gamer_adi is the guy who writes his meme pony bad poetry here and is now asking for PC building suggestions( which makes it obvious 100% he's not comingle who says "console is cheaper than PC" )

Thanks, i will look into it. Super helpful bro
The dudes CPU suggestions are too high end, my opinion is you should get RTX 3060 TI and a CPU like i5 12600 or max the i7 he suggested, non-OC, i5 has 6 cores 12 thread, i7 has 8 cores 16 threads, same as the current gen consoles.
He's right from the future proofing angle tho, because you'll upgrade the CPU much later, like what CPU you buy now should last you for 5-7 years, so the i7 will be better if you have the budget
For monitors :-
BenQ EX2780Q or LG 27GL850
both are 27" 1440p 144hz IPS panel monitors with 2x hdmi and 1x DP on the back, with 1x 3.5mm audio outThe BenQ one has inbuilt speakers and 1x usbc with display port input( useful if like you want to connect a macbook to monitor )
BenQ going for 30k now :- https://www.amazon.in/BenQ-EX2780Q-Monitor-Channel-Metallic/dp/B07X8HBHJP
LG GL850 going for 33k :- https://www.amazon.in/LG-Ultragear-27-inch-Compatible-Monitor/dp/B07TD94TQF
Both these monitors hover in price between 30-35k online
As an addition, both can take in a 4k signal and display it to 1440p, useful if you connect a PS5

Can anyone give me a hint as to which version code was sold here for PS4?!?
I completed it & have a save file would like to continue the DLC on next gen version.
It was bought on launch officially….so it was definitely pre-ordered from distribution channel.
Afaik check the dabba, it should have one of those serial numbers on them, you can search them up and get the region code.
otherwise if you're 100% you bought from the "official" distribution here then you can get the DLC from PSstore and it should work.

So did the Malekith boss fight, was over-levelled for this one I think so it got over quickly, meanwhile the Draconic Tree Sentinel right outside the boss door was such a pain to do, I died like 20 times, but in the end learnt his moveset and killed him, this guy was so hard outside Leyndell capital but that time didn't know how to dodge his horse's fireball spam and his lightning strike using his shield

my level 152 makes jack f**king squat difference to Malenia, tried going solo but barely manage to get hp to less than 75% and waterfowl dance gets me, if not that it's the one attack where she rushes towards you and does like 3 slashes, it's a one shot, and even somehow if you survive that she does some big slash attack that will get you.
Tiche does decent damage but can't hold aggro, and my mimic holds aggro and hits like a truck but gets shredded by Malenia in 2nd phase
Malenia is the ultimate counter to all spirit ash, npc summons( there aren't any here
) and using cheesy weapons/spells 
I've noticed she gets staggered quite easily on hits, but too much of a coward to lay into her with the L1, she does these big side hops and all, prolly will get behind me
Looks like i'll have to git gud with this one
if anyone wants to know i'm using moonveil +10 main hand and hoarfrost stomp cold uchi +25 offhand because i read frostbite and bleed are effective against her
