Ive been playing Elden Ring between rounds of Halo with the kids and other husbandly chores. I’m not particularly sure how I am supposed to feel about the game… it is certainly challenging… lots to explore (I think I’ve uncovered more than half of the map), and a fairly interesting, if muted, story. I mean who doesn’t want the rings? Or runes… or something? To be fair, I’m not entirely sure what I am doing but 18 hours into the game at lvl 41… I think I’m doing something?
There were some kind folks at Reddit that gave me some pointers. I’ve been so minded on DPS that I have been neglecting hp. So now my points will go to that until I cover… most of the screen? And the open world role-play (or anything really, the reason why I never could get into GTA) is still baffling to me. But I guess I prefer a little linearity in my adventures.
Or maybe someone to hold my hand.
343 dropped the next “Fractured” event for Halo. Entrenched is the new playlist that’s essentially strongholds but resets after all three zones are taken, not unlike the BTB version. The play isn’t bad at all – can be very fun and we played a few rounds of it trying to both of us through the first fractured bonuses. I’m almost done but Panda 177 still has some more to go.
