Official Discussion [MEGATHREAD] Tarnished Edition: Worth $5? Discuss CONSTRUCTIVELY!

631 Upvotes

Since the sub is being overwhelmed by debate over the $5 "microtransaction" and it's making the sub feel like we're Dark Souls 2 a decade ago, with the faux outrage around the preorder items, we are opening this topic to consolidate discussion around the issue.

Please use this topic to discuss the pros and cons of the approach and your thoughts. But do so RESPECTFULLY and CONSTRUCTIVELY. If you need to call other people or the developers names, you don't have a good argument and your post will be removed.

We will remove all other topics about this to keep the subreddit flowing with other discussions

IF YOU WANT TO VOTE: I will post two comments on this topic, "Yay" and "Nay" - upvote the one you agree with and we'll see who wins long term.

Discussion & Info How do people kill bosses in such a few attempts?

75 Upvotes

I see most people saying they kill bosses in less than 10 attempts, but for me it takes over 20 lot of times. Im fighting godrick rn and im 30 attempts in. I think can beat him in the next 10 but still, also for example ulcerated tree spirit took me around 120 attempts. My total deaths are ~570

Discussion & Info I'm just realizing that this fucker is legitimately kind of scary

Post image
2.3k Upvotes

I'm currently on my third or fourth playthrough of the DLC, and I'm noticing for the first time that this fucker is deeply unsettling and actually kind of scary. I guess it's because I'm usually so busy panic rolling around the arena or fighting with the camera that I've never really paid attention to him, but this time I've realized how much I don't like it. It's movement's are extremely unnatural, it watches you with those dead eyes, and the humanoid legs underneath come at you like pyramid head or something. And it fuckin' rattles. I think if FromSoft put all of this energy into an actual horror game it would rival anything else you could compare it to. I can't be the only one to come to this conclusion, can I?

Discussion & Info Games amazing! I think I finally understand armor and the different types hah

19 Upvotes

I’ve only just beaten the game now so I started to mess around with my collected armor while trying to stay at 101 poise (is this even that important?).

I wasn’t a fan of how the armour system and stats were when I started playing originally but I totally get it now and the fact you can alter certain pieces which kind of allows you to personalise your character way more so it does feel unique to you. It’s fun trying out different styles that work while allowing me to keep that poise BP 😏

PS: What the hell is going on with that beetle helmet lol surely there’s a story/reasoning behind the design? Some other funny pieces are that pumpkin head, imp head corpse and that gross ear/eye set!

Is there anything important to complete before going to the ng+ ?
