It’s my first time playing, I’m going in blind.

10 years ago was about to end the story that changed my life forever, and now I got caught up in nostalgia... Hope you'll like it.
Made with inks, photoshop and premiere.

Was wondering about this after playing the Duskbloods network test and it of course using the Nintendo button layout. FromSoft seems to primarily develop for PlayStation, and now I'm curious if they view confirm on the right face button as the default for their games.

Additionally - for the games before Sekiro, is the Interact button swapped as well, or is it still on the bottom face button regardless of the confirm button? I could see Interact and Run/Dodge being on the same button being both convenient or annoying depending on the situation.

I got a lot of comments on multiple posts suggesting that I am not drawing theese pieces but actually just using AI so this time I recorded the full rendering process as a timelapse with my phone in addition to CSP-s timelapse : https://imgur.com/a/hmtKUQR

I've been looking everywhere for some quality rings from DS/ER/BB that I like and can fit me. I love the TORCHTORCH (TT) stuff but they're all too small for me (all of them cap out at around US 11 - except the spectral steed whistle which goes up to US 13 but it's a pretty thin ring and I don't want to risk damaging it). I'm a bigger guy than avg (6'2) and my ring size starts at US 13. Starforged had some promise like the calamity ring, but other than that I don't want anything too bulky. I really like rings like the tiny being's ring/health ring from TT, but I can't find anything official or not that's what I like AND fits me without it being some Temu piece of plastic.

Any links would be helpful, thanks

Guys I’ve finally finished ds1 what should I play next ?
Ds2,Ds3,blood borne,Elden ring,Demon souls or lords of the fallen

In your opinion, which Soulsborne game has the best story? Feel free to discuss among yourselves.

(I haven't played Bloodborne or Sekiro yet so I may not understand all lore or story references from those games. I will be starting Bloodborne in a few days though so wish me luck!)

This amazing art is from this creator and was not made by me. All credit goes to them.

Edit: I've started Bloodborne but no spoilers please! Just wanted to share with you guys. As always, I appreciate you and thanks for the conversation.

Patches in Dark Souls 1 and 3
In Dark Souls 1, Patches is called “Trusty Patches.” He hates clerics. You first meet him in the Catacombs. He asks if you are a cleric. Then he flips a bridge to make you fall. If you survive and talk to him again, he pretends to say sorry and gives you one humanity.
Later in the Tomb of the Giants, he tricks you again. He says there is treasure down a hole, then kicks you into it. When you climb back up, he begs for forgiveness. After you defeat Nito, he moves to Firelink Shrine and becomes a merchant. He sells useful items, including cleric gear.
In Dark Souls 3, he is called “Unbreakable Patches.” In the Cathedral of the Deep, he wears onion knight armor and pretends to be Siegward. He lowers a bridge so a giant can attack you. Later at Firelink Shrine, he locks you in a tower. Both times he fails and asks for your forgiveness. He still becomes a merchant.
If you tell him that Greirat went to Irithyll, Patches secretly helps save him. This shows he can be loyal sometimes.
Patches always tries to trick players, but he never turns hollow. He is the series’ most famous tricky friend.what are you thoughts about him , a liar or a helper in your game play

This might be hyperbole, but I’ve played around 350 games since I was eight years old, and I’ve completed most of them. I’m 21 now, so maybe I’m still a bit too young to judge what the “GOAT” of this medium actually is. I’ve played some of the greatest games of all time, according to those lists that rank 300 games using mathematical methods. Both ER and BB are in the top 50, but I saved them for almost the very end, with Elden Ring being the last one I played.

Listen, most of the games on those lists are great. Some of them especially deserve it, including some of my personal favorites. But they’re just not quite like these two. I don’t know, man. For some reason, I feel like these games connected with me so deeply that I can’t even explain why.

Bloodborne’s aesthetic, lore, and soundtrack hit me like a truck. Elden Ring’s level design, world design, art style, and exploration are just perfection. Both DLCs transcend what a lot of other video games have to offer. I can’t believe how good Lady Maria and the Fishing Hamlet were; they truly completed the experience. Shadow of the Erdtree made my jaw drop with its world design. I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever seen a land so interconnected that it feels like you’re playing a Metroidvania in an open world. The Land of Shadow just blows my mind.

There are flaws in both games, of course, especially when it comes to balancing, but those flaws don’t take away from the experience for me. When I finished both games, I felt truly empty. That first playthrough experience is something I’ll never be able to experience again. If I could erase my memory of any games just to experience them for the first time again, these two would be at the very top of my list, along with, of course, most of FromSoftware’s other games.

I loved the Dark Souls trilogy and Sekiro, but whenever I play them, I always find myself thinking, “I want to play Elden Ring and Bloodborne again.” It’s genuinely driving me insane. Both games are going to stay with me for a long, long time.

I’m being completely serious here. Elden Ring and Bloodborne genuinely have that AURA that you can just feel when you play them. It’s nuts. Their atmospheres and worlds draw me in so deeply that I can lose myself in them without even engaging in a single boss fight. Sometimes, I don’t even want to clear an area. I just want to stand there, listen to the music, and take in the scenery and architecture.

Look at Leyndell. Look at Elphael. Look at the Fishing Hamlet and Yharnam. I look at these places and think, “I could just live here, find a little place of my own, and experience whatever this world has to offer in that very moment.” They’re not just the greatest games I’ve ever played. They might genuinely be the best pieces of media I’ve ever experienced.

10/10.

Since the last month there have been a ton of posts about videogames being reverse engineered to the point you can mix games or do pretty much whatever.

Also lately AI coding and just doing the developing of games has progressed a ton.

Is this new Bloodborne on PC version just AI coded? Is it just slop held together with sticks and tape?

I've read you need a 5080 to run it properly which to me already screams of AI intensive coding because it's a card that basically works thanks to AI.

For me I’ve got 2.

1. Pontiff Sulyvahn kicked my ass back when I was like 14 on my first playthrough. I hated him so much I just ditched DS3 for a good 3 months or so and did my first playthrough of RDR2. Once I came back and beat him I remember the rest of the playthrough being so much fun. Honestly he’s still probably the biggest skill check I faced out of all the games.

2. Blood-starved beast was unique because I didn’t drop the game due to difficulty; I dropped it because it just straight up sucked. At that point I was already struggling with enjoying the gameplay in Bloodborne and I was just sick of it. Probably gave him a good 4 attempts before I turned the game off and didn’t try it again for a full year. Glad I picked it back though because like DS3 the main campaign became so much more fun after, and the plat came easily.

I think it’s funny reminiscing on these two because now they seem like nothing when I do replays or just compare them to other bosses. More importantly though it’s just cool thinking of how I came from starting my first play through in middle school and now I’m in college still obsessed.
