  • From has always said they wanna spin ER out into multiple IPs. Shouldn’t change whether you want this or not, but I think the company is looking to expand. It might be cool to have a company manage successful movie production studios and major video games, but yeah it seems like some changes are coming.

    I’m def excited for the Bloodborne and Sekiro animated films. Live action Elden Ring could be pretty good, we will have to see. But I def don’t blame you, like make more games please, ive already played through all the other ones 10 times each









  • Hell yeah! My first play through of Sekiro was tough! But then I got absolutely hooked on Executor, he was the only character I wanted to play when he was hands down the worst nightfarer. But Deep of Night was impossible to get passed like D2 for me, but I had developed a really fun status tank play style, and seppuku does buff him somewhere in the neighborhood of viability.

    The balance buff was out of this world though. Overnight went from like the worst to the best, and then double balancer build made suncatcher like ridiculously powerful. It doesn’t even have to be charged up you can basically just spam L2 to win lol.

    I took a break to play Sekiro and haven’t gotten back into NR but a few times.

    But yes ive also become a parry junkie lol. Lies of P has good parry mechanics? I haven’t played it yet, and don’t really know much about it



  • Copied, slightly edited, from another of my posts:

    Theres a common edited chalice (idk what its based on could probably find out, but I could def get the glyph) where the first level boss is supposed to be a grind for adept gems, but the second level is like my favorite area in the whole game. Early in the dungeon theres a small room with a watcher spear cleaver hunter, but the room is like completely stacked with boxes. So like every dodge or attack you end up breaking something, and the whole fight is just stuff exploding and at the end the whole room is like completely filled with rubble.

    But further in, theres an oil swamp with one hook hand undead giant and two cannon undead giants. A little further on down the hall is a beast possessed soul (bepis), and you can lure him into the oil swamp. Theres even a shortcut hole in the hallway to make it easier to get him in. Once he is in there, you can make bepis fight the undead giants, and its absolutely incredible. Bepis throws fireballs, and the cannon giants shoot flaming cannonballs, and everybody is taking like 4x fire damage because oil swamp. There’s just huge fire explosions everywhere, if you get hit with anything its instant death, the bepis can usually take out the hook giant, and you can lure the cannon giants to shoot each other and kill the bepis. Finally its just you and one injured cannon giant to finish off.

    The root chalice dungeons are full of these like hard puzzle challenge rooms. For instance I found one of the small circular elevator rooms that had 10 Pthumerian fireball witches. Just an absolutely insane prospect, but some developer had to develop like 2000 of these things and decided “why not?”

    The random root chalice dungeons are the greatest part of any souls game


  • The Nightreign character with Sekiro mechanics (Executor) is actually the best solo character because he can tank any attack with a perfect deflection. This also makes him great if you want to play coop because once you can solo a boss you can just carry any team. Its really fun.

    Randos can be tough to deal with, sometimes they leave if you don’t do exactly what they want you to do, or they suck ass, but usually this isn’t too bad. Once you get into the endgame, Deep of Night mode, then yeah its better to find a coop community with a better player pool. Other than that, Nightreign is fun solo, esp with Executor.

    I have about 300 hours in both Sekiro and with Executor. But I’d def recommend Sekiro because it has one of the best stories in any From game, is beautiful and slick and very replayable for a single player experience.
