Although not part of the Souls series, Bloodborne may as well be, since it's another FromSoftware game that is notorious for its unforgiving difficulty, so anyone who plays this game has to be ready for a challenge. Still, for those who make it to the end, victory is ecstatic, just like with the sister game Elden Ri

The Mass Effect games also had an impressive selling point: the ability to choose whether the player-character, Commander Shepard, is male or female, with full voice-acting provided for either option. For a game series that released its first entry in 2007, it was a groundbreaking l

"These spirits manifest from the rancor of heroes who met a violent end. The lord granted them an audience, whereupon they were welcomed by the maw of the great serpent - and within the serpent's bowels, they became the lord's k

The world of **Elden Ring ** , FromSoftware DLC's newest dark fantasy RPG, is full of fancy helms and hats players can acquire (either by picking them up from bodies or slaying enemies over the course of play). The weirdest, most intriguing helmets by far are the ones literally crafted from the bodies and heads of certain side characters and opponents in Elden Ring ; aside from letting players customize their characters or engage in "cosplay" shenanigans, the item descriptions for these helmets also give gamers a lot of information about the odder lifeforms in this game's sett

Raya Lucaria Tunnel is carefully hidden by the woods in the Liurnia of the Lake. The tunnel has an elevated space downwards consisting of narrow paths. Raya Lucaria Tunnel has many enemies compared to other caves; spending healing items conservatively and players’ wits are required to reach the end of the tun

Miyazaki said in the PlayStation Blog interview that "Another challenge making an open-world game is the tempo and pacing of the player’s progression, essentially trying to balance __ how **** the player paces themselves as they explore this vast open-ended map and how that factors into the scope of freedom and progression they provi

Multiplayer elements have been part of FromSoft's Souls-like RPGs since Demon's Souls , with Elden Ring expanding on that approach in an open-world setting. The context of this format was key to making multiplayer a realistically accessible part of the game, given that these games are already famous for their difficu

In place of the round, wide-brimmed hats associated with sorcerers in western fantasy fiction, the Glintstone Sorcerers seen in Elden Ring frequently wear sculpted stone masks with crowns made of Glintstone Crystal (which empower a Sorcerer's spell-casting abilities at the expense of resources such as Stamina). In-universe, the crystalline substance called Glintstone is what makes the scholarly discipline of Elden Ring 's Glintstone Sorcery possible, while the Azur's Glintstone Crown and Lusat's Glintstone Crown items , looted from mute NPCs encountered during the Sorceress Sellen quest-line, share the following passage in their item descripti

This was a little after the public launch of Elden Ring and most of my non-work gaming time was dedicated to refinishing the game in NG+. I had missed a lot of NPC side quests in my rush to finish as much of Elden Ring as possible in time for the game's review embargo (something stress-reducing CBD would have been ideal for, ironically) and this second playthrough was all about clearing out everything that had been skipped or skimmed over, as well as getting my revenge in boss fights - looking at you, dual Crucible Knights. I had just reached the Mountaintop of the Giants for the second time when the Extract Labs’ CBD Chocolate Bars ($13 per bag) arrived. It was time to find out if CBD actually wo

But for those who want a game that delivers on the high potential the studio felt Babylon's Fall would have, these titles deliver on that expectation and provide a satisfying gaming experience for players. What games are everything that Babylon's Fall should have b

Whether through navigating the hidden areas of the Volcano Manor or completing enough assassination missions for Tanith, players can eventually gain access to the Elden Ring boss known as Rykard, Lord Of Blasphemy, a Demigod child of Rennala who searched for the power needed to destroy the Erdtree and found it in an immortal, god-devouring serpent. The description for the Great Rune Elden Ring 's Rykard drops when defeated reveals what happened n

The 2010 original Final Fantasy XIV RPG was critically panned upon release, but Square Enix listened to complaints and reinvented the title in 2013; that MMORPG is still running today and just released the Endwalker expansion in 2021. It's unlikely Babylon's Fall could take the same route at this point, because of the bad press, but it's always possible for this kind of reinvent

Granted, the whole place is not friendly to magic-based classes since the enemies have high magic resistance. But that's to be expected. When one thinks about it, the whole cave's existence is also impressive considering how it's connected to a whole acad
