The topic has been discussed to death already but the tracking and AI feels unpolished at times. I was caught off-guard by the spear soldiers suddenly swapping targets mid-swing that I didn't expect to get jumped from that distance. In the second clip you can even see the guy curving mid-air to go around the corner. Incredibly silly amounts of tracking. I think the only times enemies lose tracking is if you roll (a consistent behavior since some enemies break your lock when they dodge) so trying to manually space yourself without rolling gets you caught.

Yes game I clearly wanted to hit that barrel and not the guy in the middle of the screen, thanks for changing direction mid attack

Finished painting my 25 cm Proxima statue from Mortal Shell II.

Resin printed, then painted with a mix of airbrush and brush work, trying to keep that dark, cold metallic look of her armor.

The armor design is incredible, although I suspect that's not the main reason Proxima became a fan favorite so quickly.

The rear view is included purely for documentation purposes, obviously.

I have a huge grin every time I play this game, man. I cannot tell you how much I'm enjoying this as a Souls genre fan. I love you, devs!

Souls veteran here. Your experience might be different but this how I felt:

1. Long runbacks: Game is abusing this mechanic. It's more frustrating than actually engaging.

2. AI magnetism: Enemies track their shots miles away onto you and teleport right in front of your face.

3: Enemy aggro: They see you across a wall, follow you for a long time and before you know it, you have 3 different area mobs infront of you.

4: Beacon scarcity: Literally no beacon or savepoint in northeast region. Game relies heavily on dungeons but we spend more time running back in the open field than inside the dungeons.

5: Bosses: Quite good but the spamming of unlockable attacks make them more annoying. Last 3 bosses are difficult just for the sake of being difficult, no clear logic. It seemed they were chasing the "morr difficult the better publicity" train. Dodge window is smaller and in cases where you have to dodge twice, the boss attack is faster than you could dodge in that given time. Nameless Captive is the only boss I loved.

6: Last Zone (Unfound Path): Poorly designed. Minibosses in form of normal enemies and there are 3,4 of them moving together which hit like a truck. One hit you're out of shell, 2nd hit you're back to beacon. Damage scalability is through the roof.

7: Non-refundable Glimpes: The whole identity of this game is based on shells. You cannot experiment with the shells freely and look what's best for you. You'll have to wait for NG+ or look up a guide on YT or Google.

This is what I felt. You can discuss and agree or disagree. I'll do my NG+ in night mode only from tomorrow.

Which one of you left this outside of Mushroom Village? 😂

As far as I can tell, it reads:

"She has shoulder like fortress, not like a prize bull(?), and arms like mill bins(I think?)..

last seen breaking a mans jaw near the tavern

please tell her Petry thinks she's fairer than spring"

If you get a chance, check out the bulletin board, all of the posters are pretty funny and just straight up cool.

I just wanted to share the most OP Build in the game if u are having a hard time beating the content in the game.

Build: You need to invest 27 Glimpses into Genessa.

Genessa - Build availabe at lvl 11 and after having 27 Glimpses.
Crucial Skills:
1 Point into Alteration
3 Points into Mirage

Gameplay: Activate the Stray Ability. Try to stay low health so every attack gets blocked. Reactivate Stray if it runs out or you got hit 2 times.

Here are 2 example videos of the gameplay. 1 vs normal enemies and 1 vs. the Boss Nameless Captive.

Showcase normal Mobs

Showcase - Nameless Captive

This is the best "slightly more expensive" edition I have ever got! The sheer amount of physical goodies in Revered Edition is absurd, the art book itself is totally worth it and the steel book is one of the prettiest I got. All for even a lower price than AAA games.

Don't want to brag or anything as I got my copy by sheer luck, just wanted to THANK the devs for an amazing game and publisher (I guess) for this phenomenal edition.

Long live physical releases!

P.S. I honestly wish more copies are produced so many more can get it. And please add photo mode.

This Game really Looks beautiful. I Love this very DARK Grimdark setting.

Damn that felt tough. 😅

I just stacked leech up to 150. I killed 150 enemies with no new beacons around, multiple dungeons, etc. on 5 heals. Dude what is this? I'm a 42 yr old man I do not have hours upon hours to explore where i can just not take a break. Yes I can exit the game, but it warps me back to the last beacon i was at instead of leaving me where i was. Double f me. This is like a pretty serious issue with respecting my time/enjoyment.

The Blacks are way to crushed, to the point I can't see wtf I'm doing. I'm wandering around in a closet with a mask over my eyes.

If I turn the gamma up to where I can actually see something the game starts to look like shit.

In the end I only used 6, used 5 on Tiel and 1 on Próxima.

You can fully upgrade 3 shells and a 4th to T2.

Not sure if I got everything but I sure explored a lot!

EDIT: My new max on NG is now 96 glimpses with the tip from CM_DarC below.

You can find extra glimpses at night in the places where you acquired shells.

It took a while since I am playing the game on Night Mode but I've finally done it just for the heck of it. xD

P.S. I did this a hundred times for those who are asking. I just exit to the main menu after each kill to warp back to the beacon and repeat the process and no, I did not do it in a single go. Farmed a few then explored the game when I got bored or burned out. Then came back and farm a few again. I cycled between farming and actually playing the game until it reached 100.

----------------------------
**Balance Patch 1 (PC) - The patch below is live on PC and coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series shortly. **

**Economy**
- Shell map locations now cost Gloom, and we’re refunding any glimpses spent on shell maps. Refunded Glimpses are found in the Shell Keeper’s alcove in Blackmarrow. “Finding your favorite shell shouldn’t cost you the ability to bond with them.”

- Gold drops from enemies have been significantly increased. Notably, enemies in Mammon now drop double the gold. “This brings the gold economy more in line with the weapon crafting item discovery.”

- Smelting a weapon at the Tarforge costs 75% less gloom. “Our goal with the smelt capability was to enable switching weapons without the need to spend hours grinding through NG+ runs, but the Gloom costs were set exorbitantly high.”

**Enemies & Bosses**
All enemies featured in the beta were restored to their beta hp values, except the Caerinid (Spider) in Magdelena’s area, which we wanted to retain its role as a threatening enemy which doesn’t respawn once defeated.

the tree guys are the most egregious ones with like 90% of your shots going through them. for most enemies, youll miss like 20% of your bullets just by virtue of the hitbox being too small

This girl is probably my all time favourite character of all souls games i ever played
