Speaking of beating games, I finished Dark Souls 3 last night... took me over a month, but that's because I've been playing a ton of Final Fantasy XIV at the same time too, lol. Still unsure as to where I'd place it among the other Soulsborne games though. It was fun and I really enjoyed it, but then the same can be said for the others too, lol.

Also I was a little underwhelmed with my experience with the Nameless King boss fight. Everyone seemed to hype him up as being the hardest boss in all of Soulsborne. I've seen people fight him, obviously there's people who can no hit him, as they do with all bosses, but I watched videos where people higher level than me, with harder hitting weapons etc. were wiping out and it took them so many attempts, only just making it by with a sliver of health left and what have you. I was told the first phase was the "easy" phase, and once he jumps off his dragon, THAT'S when shit gets real.

Let me tell you how it went...

First phase; Turns out the Sellsword Twinblades moveset is ABYSMAL for hitting the dragon's head, like, a four hit combo will only hit the head once due to height/reach etc.... so I spent the majority of it just hacking away at the dragon's feet since that was the only reliable way to do damage. I had to drink 5 estus flasks.

Second phase; Oh yeah let's fucking go, guy jumps off his dragon, kills it, powers himself up, shit is getting real! ...I spent thirty seconds just pressing R1 four times, then rolling to the right, and repeating... and he was dead. It was literally just four cycles of doing that, no estus flasks used whatsoever.

To say I was underwhelmed and/or disappointed would be an understatement, lol. Maybe I just got super lucky with the move cycles, or maybe I'm just good at the game? I don't know, but I didn't really get the same rush as I did beating some other bosses in the series, lol... I guess on the plus side, the fight as a whole LOOKS cool, and the music is great, lol.

Started FFXIV 4 or 5 days ago on Ultros, reached lvl 46 today. The game is pretty good and full of stuff to do.
