I blind ring outside Amygdala to help. few minutes pass and I get summoned by a Bernii.

Dude has 1/3rd health, starts the fight, does one lap around the arena, posts up in the back, and proceeds not to heal.

As the fight goes on I wonder if this dude just summons help so he can watch them die. As I'm wondering this I proceed to demolish Amy at 150% health.

You're welcome Bernii. I don't know if watching beckons die is your fetish or something, but not this one.

Bernii?

If i saw someone wasn't fighting the boss I'd lead the boss to them and watch them die instead.

When it was over I thought of something similar..get boss down to 10% and blank out of there.

People sure are weird.

So I had a funny time with the Four Kings. Totally forgot the particulars. Managed to switch to the Magic Stoneplate Ring in my one free ring slot and won the fight with no healing left. Kinda sad, but it's a win. So far the only boss that has killed me is O&S. Most importantly now I can go get the Witch set for the hat.

For real. The other side of it was that it was cool because I did it completely on my own.

Also reading about you playing DS almost got me to fire it up.

What's a Bernii god damnit!?

I'm doing a punchy play of DS2. all punchin'!!
Double Caestus power-stanced are actually beast. The little 1-2 combo on L1 is killer DPS.
And when people invade me with all their gimmicks, spells, movement etc... I just roll then walk forward and catch them in the punching vortex, it's hilarious!

I'm using a Manikin claw in the left hand now and my build has high dex now too..
I'm basically eating all the boss souls too as my weapons have been sorted for the whole game.

Also I play in Italian sometimes to help my learning and have found some little translation errors.

Flame Butterfly is rendered as
> 'fiamma della farfalla' literally: flame of the butterfly

This implies that the fire comes from a regular ol' butterfly doesn't it?
Whereas I thought the butterflies were special because they ignite.
I would've gone with
> 'farfalla di fiamma' literally: butterfly of flame.

A similar thing happens with Black Knight Sword literally being 'Black Sword of the Knights"

I killed all the Necromancers or I wouldn't be bitching. :p

It's supposed to be a guaranteed drop from the last one. Need two so you can trade one to Snugly.

Aahahah this entire article could go on the IAmVerySmart subreddit...

https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeltho ... 3b68652b5d
We have reached a point in our modernization where it seems we are more indebted to our symbolic objects than the people we live amongst, in terms of both time, energy, and attention. If we are indeed advancing through history and not treading water or actively receding back into it, our progress might be traced through our willingness to exchange one another for symbolic succor, and the farther we progress the more interchangeable the game and the player become . The longer I spend on these quests for achievement and advancement, the more I wish to have never begun them at all. I can think of no worse end to an undertaking than to regret its conception, and for me there can be no better measure for saying Dark Souls II the worst game I've ever played.
It's hard to even identify what a videogame is
What a fucking moron. :lol:

Horsefuck Valley is still as bad as ever in 2020
My god.
Trying to do it with fist weapons only is just balls. I have to be right close to them, I don't have the damage, and can't stagger them either. Two spawned on me earlier. fun!
I've forgotten how to run away from them too, the strat where you just run along the north wall to the boss. They were riding all over my butt and zapping me. sigh.

i'm very close to summoning an NPC to take all the damage while I run away.

Scholar but the DLCs are the same aren't they?
No I'm not summoning a human :wink:

Not summoning at all, actually. that'll remove the challenge.
I'll just come back after the other DLCs. I got the bone fist and Ivory Crown I came here for.

Welp indeed. I reinstalled - nothing.

Apparently a fix is to take another character to that area, force the game to load said area in.. and that will make the other save work!?
Shame i don't have a second save..and the corrupted file is in Sunken King DLC, basically endgame reeee

Holy shit that trailer..

But like.. If the Dragon God is the same it won't be hype at all.. ahah. I don't knwo, i don't feel like DeS' gameplay really lends itself to huge and epic ??
It'll still be the same rather limited (compared to its successors) game at the end of the day..

I don't feel like Fromsoft have a bug problem that's worse than like, any other modern dev..

Also people have had issues with some of Bluepoints stuff in the past. like mgs2, and supposedly Shadow of the Colossus remaster on ps3 had issues though i never noticed.

Oh come on now.. You've played Bloodborne mate. Sekiro has some bangers too.

Maybe Ubisoft and Bethesda are close. I've played a lot of games on PS4, games from other companies generally run a lot better. In spite of this I have more play time in From games than any other company so it's not like it is a detriment for me, it'd just be nice if they ran better ya dig?
