You're playing too cautious then. That boss is designed to punish you unless you get up close to it.

I tried several approaches. I'm just not quick enough to keep from getting hit.

I made it to MR158 on Monster Hunter World before I finally got to a point where I just wasn't quick enough to take on high powered bosses.

I can't do games with iframes and shit like that.

Gotcha. You could always just turtle then

Funny shit...

I follow GI on Facebook and they posted about the "open letter" From, talking about framerate and other performance issues people are having.

The first comment on their post is "I'm not having any performance problems. The only problem I'm having is DYING FROM EVERYTHING"

ROFL

This game is easier than a normal FromSoft. For one you can actually restock your heals after clearing a mob.

Yeah that’s going to be a no from me, dawg.

That's literally every SoulsBorne game ever.

And no, it's actually quite easy to grind up early game. 2 spots where you can force enemies to hit each other and do the work for you.

Just curious, I have been a PC gamer for a VERY long time. I do NOT understand the love for RPG's. So MUCH ****ing time and devotion for a seemingly endless conclusion if there is even one at all. See Everquest. That is just way too much devotion for me.

ROFL For me it was Demon’s Souls. I sucked so much at that game that I have abandoned playing any Dark Souls game.

Woof. First legit boss of Elden Ring does not **** around. Beat him 2nd try but I was kitted out to the max and still had a pretty rough go of it. If you don't go exploring and just follow the path the game sets for you your asshole is going to be ripped to shreds.

There's a cracked version out, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Playing on PC using an XBox wireless controller. The controller buttons wouldn't work. The sticks both worked for motion and camera, but nothing else. After fighting with that, I found online that the game is really weird with input devices. I had to unplug my keyboard and mouse both, launch Steam in Big Picture mode, use the controller to navigate and launch the game. Only then would the controller function properly.

After I finally got into the game, the very first bad guy I ran into was the Tree Sentinel. Big guy on a horse. Couldn't run away from him because he's on a ****ing horse and I'm not. Tried hiding from him in a little building, and he destroyed the building and killed me anyway. LOL. I did manage to sneak around him a couple times, but then ran into another group of creatures that waxed me in 3 shots. After about the 12th instadeath I gave up.

Oh and just for kicks, I tried to attack this guy at the very beginning who was just trying to give me some advice. Bad idea. He was right beside the spawn point. Of course, he turned violent and killed me effortlessly. Then I kept spawning again right beside him, so he immediately started attacking me at every respawn, making things even worse.

I might give it another try, but it was a pretty rough first impression. Really wish there were a way to adjust the difficulty...

Mother ****ER there's an item to make the fight easier. No wonder that shit was so hard for a first boss LMAO

You know, I wish games would have an old farts mode. You could do it as a six month or one year delay or something, fine, so the whippersnappers can still gloat about finishing a real game while it matters.

But there's got to be a lot of guys who are retired who have time (no kids at home) and money and would still like to play FPS and RPG.

But not online against anyone else and the difficulty needs to have knobs to reduce it to a level appropriate for someone who needs reading glasses and doesn't climb stairs very quickly anymore.

Edit: And I may have time but I'm not interested in having to grind the shit out of everything. Been there, done that.

MMORPG's are structured way different than single-player RPG's.
