I hope I can sign this guy

If you enjoy Helldivers 2 buy Earth Defense Force 6, it just came out (or 5 if you feel like trying the franchise out first). It's essentially what Helldivers 2 was before Helldivers 2 came out and had a cult following before Helldivers 2.

My review of the Elden Ring's DLC final boss, especially the second phase:

One of only 2 bosses where I actually needed to summon co-op help to get through it. You can guess the other boss (she’s in the base game lol).

I found out a quick cheese for this boss though after I completed the DLC. Craft 3 or 4 hefty scarlet rot pots and throw them at him. That wreaks havoc on his health bar. Makes things easier apparently lol.

I’m going to get Helldivers II when it finally goes on sale. 5 going on 6 months now since it’s been released and it’s not gone on sale yet lol. $39.99 isn’t a lot of course but being able to get a game on sale is my jam.

I’ve got Earth Defense Force 6 on my wishlist!

FF7 Remake was fantastic.

Some points deducted for the Sephiroth fight though. That was not a good time/enjoyable.

Only cops pick Ohio St as their Dynasty.

Ohio State is the most broken team in the game. Judkins is unstoppable. People are running hurry up wildcat with him and no one can stop it.

How many picks you throw?

I haven't played an EA football game in over a decade, probably closer to 20 years than 10.

Played one game on Freshman level and obliterated Syracuse. No picks thrown in that one. It might be impossible to throw interceptions in Freshman mode...

Spent the rest of the night playing training mini games to learn the mechanics. This is also the first time I've played EA football on an X-Box. Many picks thrown in the training centre. I have a steep learning curve after so many years away.

Judkins did get me my first achievement in this game with a ~70 yard TD run.

Finally beat him today. Crafted a rot pot for my mimic tear to use and leveled up my scadutree blessing a couple more times which was enough to put me over the top.

Can’t say I enjoyed any part of that fight. So many of the attacks hit extremely hard and are difficult to avoid and so hard to read.

Something that’s been puzzling to me forever is the prevalence of end-of-game huge boss difficulty spikes in video games. When there’s a consistent difficulty level throughout a game and then it just skyrockets to the moon at the end has always felt pretty cheap to me. I love gaming, but that aspect of it annoys me to no end lol. Like, I’ve got a backlog like everyone else guys. I wanna play something new now

Radahn

is the worst boss fight FromSoft has created (within the Souls genre that is).

@JojoTheWhale have you ever considered what it's like for a magpie to play "Vampire Survivors," with all that shiny shit lying on the ground everywhere?

 

[trostol]

Been playing Avatar...solid game so far

Vacuums pick up all XP from the whole map!

is it the whole map? i thought it was a smallish area lol

 

[DancingPanther]

Started Baldurs Gate. For someone who hasn't ever played dnd, that is very much a lot to slog through lol

Mad Groove is a magnificent thing, but those angry coats are a bitch.

We've played it for like 6 hrs and I think we've progressed the story 30 mins lol

Just let it rip. Unless you're on a high difficulty level, it'll mostly work out.

Whole map. You can pull thousands of gems in at once.

“I don’t know what to do because I’ve never played DnD” to this in 2 posts. <3

You’ll be on HeroForge getting minis of your characters by the time you get to the end.
