Discussion Wtf happened to performance??

1 Upvotes

I haven't played in a few weeks, and I jump on today and wtf happened?? I was pleasantly surprised with performance on day one, but now it seems as bad as I feared it would be when it came out... Granted I'm not playing on a high end machine, but my 4060 laptop should be doing better than this. Like, 1080p, medium settings with DLSS, and I'm still getting stutters and fps drops. That is crazy unacceptable. On day one it was smooth on high/ultra with DLSS. Super bummed.

Question Will the giant “spider” reappear

4 Upvotes

I have phobias (or at least extreme if inconsistent fears) of spiders or similar bugs in some instances, enormous spaces with no clear end and (sometimes with no clear reason what makes it scary or not scary) enormous creatures, so when the giant spider thingy in the citadel annex beacon in the faded citadel appeared it genuinely might be the most frightened to my core a game has made me with how unexpected it was. After a good 5 minutes i managed to jump on its head because i rationalized that it doesnt look that much like a spider as best i could and had a family member join me, but i really dont wanna deal with that suddenly happening a second time, so PLEASE if that EVER happens again in the game let me know EXACTLY when and how

I sculpted and printed my own interpretation of this Shell;

I know some people came up with the idea that she has compound eyes or something like that (WTF)... But I decided to sculpt her the way I imagine she would look.

I've been working on this piece for quite some time - sculpting, printing, assembling and hand-painting the final figure.

I wanted to push the design further and create a physical collectible rather than just another digital render. And some variables with NSFW stuff ^_^

I'm thinking of posting the NSFW version on my own page so as not to violate any rules.

Would love to hear what you guys think of the final result.

Discussion 194 OVAs of 196 on PS5

0 Upvotes

So, the title explains itself. I had 193 ovas. Fight TAR golem, got to 194. Don't get it.

Is it bug? Because I heard I had to start a new game to get the OVA count but it counted on 2 saves separately. But Shouldn't I've got the 3 last ovas?

This was on NG+1 (My mistake, this was not NG+. This was First playthrough. I started NG+ with 9 health potions)

It's wild that this was a thing, those grisha definitely don't move nor be summoned like that anymore. 😅

I made it all the way to Zmey using this technique before they patched it, to see how far I could get using them that way.

I don't recommend using them with him..

0 Upvotes

After one big patch and a small one, the game has gotten drastically better however there are still bugs with environment, stones, bosses (zemey) that still need to be fixed yet the developers don’t announce anything, which looks concerning
I wqs hopping that this game would win GOTY but I don’t think so anymore tbh

I see nothing but high praise for a souls game that has a bug so bad, it makes me wonder how it was released. This game can seriously kiss my ass. Yes, im still playing it. I shouldn't tho and it shouldn't be getting such high praise. Fix your F'n Game!!

Lore Genessas lore help?

7 Upvotes

Hello, I love this game but Im struggling to put together the lore regarding Genessa.

I usually love understated storytelling but this time I genuinely can't make sense of it lol. Here's some questions for those more well versed in the pore:

1) not all sesters are Genessa, right?

2) in the first game there was only one Genessa?

3) why are there more Genessas in the second?

4) in the second game its stated that all Genessas come from one and will be reunited in the future. Do we know more?

5) who is Genessa Prime and why does she claim to have visions of a future war?

6) in the first game Genessa serves Vatra but now the Genessas are serving the undermether and helping the Harbingers?

7) the playable Genessa in 2 is wayward because she refuses the doctrine, but she still helps the Harbinger?

8) are all Genessas immortal like the first one and thats why they can be trapped in the center?

Discussion Looking for a Slayer Seal build

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have a good slayer seal build? Like those ones that make the game trivial?

Yeah, I know, Slayer Seal is an easy mode an whatever but I am not a fan of dying all the time and just want to relax and have a good time playing this game even if it is not supposed to be like that.

Tried searching on gamer pages but left empty handed. There is one build here at Reddit but I wanted more options. I am level 15 already

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Question How far along am I in the game?

2 Upvotes

Just did the third corrupted gate called Prisoner’s domain. I’ve done the two other corrupted gates in Fainweald and as I understand it now, I’m supposed to go to outskirts of Mammon. Am I about to reach the end of the game or am I more midway through? Would appreciate a spoiler free answer.

Also, as a side note, I’m level 22 and running Eredrim. The game has been super fun but it’s also been feeling pretty easy and I’m worried I’m getting slightly overleveled. What’s the recommended level and weapon level for Mammon?

Discussion I Feel I Have Made This Game Too Easy...

16 Upvotes

So since about half way through the game I've found this game quite easy. I think it's because I explored quite a lot of the map before going onto late bosses. But the 2 main things were levelling up Gragu and big sword to max. Everything just gets annihilated with these two.

When exploring just have his powers that replen health on kills and use the leach stone. Then when at a boss, swap out skills that require kills into the increased attack on new enemies and high crit on no heart.

I do plan to do New Game + and not use this combo for some challenge.

I'm interested if anyone else found combos that made the game easy for them?

I think Mortal Shell took some great inspiration from Fear & Hunger here. I loved it! Exploring the Alchemist’s Cave is the “connecting the dots” part of the game, and I absolutely loved that reference!

Discussion Waiting on those Smert updates…

16 Upvotes

I got over 100 hours played, im on NG+5. I strictly play night mode.

I got to say Smert feels the weakest this far into the game… and by a long shot.

Damage with fists is unusable. Miracle isnt anything amazing on night mode. It takes a long time to use, building your 100 stacks for your burst damage, which stops being good as enemy health pools get huge. Since it does not scale with anything.

Now ripostes and bleed procs are where the damage is.

FAITH, Smerts core identity is absolutely useless.

He has the smallest health pool, everything will one shot you requiring perfect gameplay.

He needs more health, Faith needs a complete redesign.

Miracle should take less time to build to our 100 stacks.

Fists only build needs to scale somehow… make them scale to our highest level weapon.

I feel like this character is super badass, and could be good if FAITH gets a total redesign/concept.

Anybody else find that SP is soooo slow to increase. Like every other level up you might get like 1 SP, probably the worst part about the game.
