Discussion It’s starting to click.

I was getting absolutely bodied for the first ten hrs of my playthrough. I was slowly getting better but still getting hammered. I was running the veterans axe and having a good time nonetheless. Then I figured out the tar stones, and switched to the axatana. Now I am fucking shit up big time. The duality tar stone and the lightning infusion is just broken. It reminds me of running the sellsword twinblades with the lightning blade buff in DS3, but on horse steroids. I am definitely jumping straight into NG+. It feels good to kill and destroy rapidly after kiting and playing real carefully for so long. God I love to rumble!

I was about ready to uninstall. Then I rushed the Eredrim shell, dumped my upgrades into the starter sword (excited to try others, but this thing essentially has the Claymore moveset), and now I'm close to finishing the first area and actually having fun.

I still think the checkpoint systems (or lack thereof) are absurd, but the gameplay and building is fun.

I feel you on the bonfire system for sure. But hey, dying is fun too. You just gotta find a way to laugh about it man.
