Finally defeated Malenia, what worked for me was to keep spamming with blas blade/l2 while mimic kept her busy. In the second phase the trick was to remove lock immediately after the cut scenes and run towards the opp wall. Then again same technique as phase 1. I think I need to unlock a bunch of runes now. Will do that before proceeding to the end game area at the forge of the giants.

Will we get this for Steam ?

Man I thought consecrated snowfield was bad, but haligtree is like a whole new level of crap 😂 Also gameplay wise, it doesn’t make sense that I can take down a giant boss like fire giant but a bunch of ants on a tree branch or a bunch of dudes blowing horn can take me out in 2-3 hits 😂 …. that’s some really bad/frustrating game design right there !

Man, that whole consecrated snowfield is one of the worst areas in the game I’ve encountered so far. It’s not that the enemies are tough but the constant blizzard/no visibility makes it unnecessarily harder. Only saving grace is the unenduring frenzy inctn which I got in one of those ruins , which is like really op.

Reached mountaintop of the giants, at level 120, I think some 107 hours in. Right now completing that dragonbarrow region to complete the caelid tower. The difficulty spikes are all over, some field bosses are extremely tough while some main bosses like morgott was a pushover. Need like 90k times to level up now 😂

Spent over 2 hours trying to defeat those knights of great jar, in vain 🤦‍♂️. Even at level 110, they are too difficult. The spikes of difficulty against some bosses in this game is unreal !

At level 110, entered leyendell. What a view from the rooftops. It’s not just the gfx but the art style that’s so breathtaking at places. Need almost 80k runes to level up now 😂 ps: even at level 110, the putridavatar boss in north caelid still challenging and can defeat in 2-3 hits ! btw, any idea if we’re to fight that gurranq guy and that giant gargoyle in the sanctum ?

Are you guys playing on steam/pc ? Didn’t see it in ps5/psn !

At level 100 now defeated Astel/void boss, cleared lake of rot and both the eternal cities and siofra/ainsel areas. Yet to explore deep root depths, that looks like even more tough. Now onto finishing ranni’s quest. Even at level 100, the glintstone dragon is being difficult. The game is huge. I think I’ve put in some 80-90 hours so far, still there are so many locations in mt gelmir and Aldus plateau that I’ve not yet cleared. Even north caelid is unexplored yet. I’m yet to move towards leyendell story area. Looks like another 50-60 hours of game is left out maybe another 100, if the bosses next are more difficult.

More like a next gen release, I guess we should only expect remasters of this until ps7 !

Finally defeated Radahn, and that annoying scarlet rot breathing dragon as well. Both bosses were quite hard due to their excessive AoE attacks, almost felt like they were cheating at times ! Anyway, the runes I got out of them were totally worth the effort unlike that falling star beast boss, who dropped just 7k runes after all that crap !

Man that Radhan boss fight has been the worst so far, I bring him down to 70-80% of his health and he goes all kind of crazy, any tips ?

Caelid area is absolutely crazy, not just tough but scary/unsettling and prone to constant anxiety. I’m at bhf+5/level 68 and still the bosses are damn hard. Scarlett rot is really deadly. I need like 27k runes to level up now and considering everywhere there’s danger going from one place to another is a quest in itself 😂

OMG , may his soul rest in peace 🙏 any idea what happened ?

So many games and so little time. Have a whole bunch of games I want to try out on gamepass. 1. Avowed 2. Doom: dark ages 3. Ninja gaiden 4 4. Outer worlds 1&2 5. Third party games from ubi - ac: odyssey (need to compete this), AC: mirage 6. Atom fall 7. Second playthrough of starfield (now that it has been patched a lot)

Kantara is nothing like rangasthalam lol, not even close. They are the most unique movies I’ve seen in recent times! Don’t go by random opinions here, instead give it a try, I think the first one is on ott already. The first one is a bit slow and takes time to pick up, the sequel (actually prequel in terms of setting)- chapter 1 is much improved version with better pacing/action/vfx etc. In other news, saw holland on prime video, starting Nicole Kidman. The movie was decent until the very end when it went completely bonkers. I didn’t even understand what happened, online interpretations of the ending vary greatly as well. This fad of open ending movies just to seem intellectual needs to stop lol 😂

Still on this game. Taking a break from this too as it was getting too addictive !

Watching war 2 on Netflix , the vfx oh the vfx ps: the entry scenes of heroes were boring and I felt even the action choreography was quite bad. With a budget of 300cr+, what did they spend all the money on ?

Even the pacing is improved significantly compared to the first movie. This one has more budget and it shows. I liked the fact that they didn’t take the audience for granted and weaved in a good story/narration.

Reached Altus plateau thru that ravine tunnel. Was exploring and got teleported to volcano manor and accepted the respective quests. Found 3 of the maps and man looks like another huge area. I’m at level 63 now. Should I proceed to story area (capital) or are there some cool things to do first ?

It won’t restrict, but I’m assuming it would be optimised to work for specific angles.

Is wuchan another souls type game ?

Man I always thought this is some high fantasy rpg, looking at the weapons like sword etc, and there are robots now ? Should be interesting

It’s also about the engine. Camera angles, fov, draw distance, scope of the world etc are usually optimised at the engine level. Reusing the same engine(or parts of the tech) could also be the reason they all look and feel similar. Theoretically they can invest in building new stuff, but at the end of the day it’s a business/maximising profits etc

From buying a game and giving up on it multiple times, letting it stagnate in my backlog to finally getting the hang of it and ending up so immersed in it that I’ve stopped playing everything else - Elden ring , one of the best games I’ve played so far. I’m still in that lakes area, spent 50+ hours and looks like I still have a long way to go. The best part of the game is how fascinating the world is and how deep the gameplay is. So many combinations of build, the game can get very overwhelming at times. Guess I’ll be playing this game until the end of the year !
