this is always the better choice at like the beginning of a console generation and then midway through you wanna get a GPU again

Itās been weird having even a vanilla 3080 because I have yet to see it break a sweat on pretty much anything in 4k on max settings. Itās already miles above the latest console gen so I have no idea what nvidia thinks itās going to sell people for the next 4-6 years
Iām holding out for a 4080 to finally do a rebuild (I have a Titan XP I got free for academic purposes) but Zen 3 and Ampere wouldāve been enough for me to finally upgrade at last if not for pricing / availability, so Iām just planning to grab 5nm parts ASAP in September
I do want to see AMD iGPUs standard again and maybe hardware AV1 encode anyhow, though theyāre being cagey about whether that will ship outside of datacenters

i would have bought one of those $45 reseller keys but going in with a song + prayer on 4790k + r9 380x requires a refund exit strategy.

Oh I got a reseller key even so, gotta commit

Looks like Assassinās Creed to meā¦ No?
Just wanted to give my 2 cents on thisā¦
Exploration wiseā¦ undoubtedly. Even Sekiro does a better job and thatās a low bar right there.
Fighting system and boss qualityā¦ No. Justā¦ no. Best all the way.
[edit]
DeS might be worst than DS3ā¦ but probably not. Nexus keeps marveling me.

BTWā¦ I am kinda curious on this.
How do you guys see yourselves doing the first run of the game?
Online or offline?

I kinda feel like going offline.
Donāt want having people constantly bothering meā¦ Iām also mostly a single player kind of guy.

I think I read somewhere that in this game you can only be invaded if youāre already playing co-op, so invasions may be less disruptive this time around.
I plan to play online, but I wonāt summon help for anything but the more difficult bosses. This is my normal approach.
It would be too bad if you canāt get invaded when alone. I like the tension that aspect of the game brings even though I never invade anyone else.
(I think the only time I have ever been an invader was once long ago with @Bee and @lofia in Demonās Souls. But in that case, I invaded just to help fight enemies because you could do that in that game.)

I plan to try online and switch to offline if itās too annoying. Thatās usually how Iāve played Fromsoft games and mostly I think it works pretty well. The online stuff is cool and very much a part of their house style, and I feel like itās come a long way since Demonās Souls where those features basically existed only to allow SL300 living gods to randomly wink in and crush you into atoms in a single strike before moving on

Recently I played through Dark Souls III and I would typically just run away and jump off a cliff rather than fight the invaders. I figured at this point in the gameās lifespan an invader is probably seriously OP and I also didnāt want to give them the satisfaction of a fight.

this is real disappointing if true. I love roleplaying as a chaotic thief and stealing from players, and I love punishing naive invaders for choosing the wrong world lol

I personally did plenty of online in DS3.
When I got it it was 2 years after it came out and I would still get plenty of people invading.
I ended up doing a great deal of online, but I can count my āactualā invasions with the finders of one hand.
I was absolutely into the Fight Club.
Not the actual feature that you access from the Firelinkās bonfire.
It was a kind of ritual thing, you did a challenge sign just outside the pontiff fight.
Someone would inevitably call you, and usually there was already a few people there.
The summoner wouldnāt fight and everyone else would fight 1 on 1, no estus.
Using estus or attacking the summoner would result in an absurd gangbang on the offender.
DS2 had a pretty decent online, even with all the clunkiness of theā¦ wellā¦ entire base system of the game. Still online felt ok.
DS1 online always felt absurd to me.

My favorite parts about DS3 were invading in Irithyll Dungeon and chasing people around with a big log in my hands, and none of the actual PvE content
DS1 makes it a chore to invade with the exception of being a Darkwraith, the best covenant for this purpose and also part of the best ending. they give you a bunch of ways to do PvP but theyāre all hard to actually trigger and I donāt think they ever made Gravelording work right
Wellā¦ you can only be invaded by someone that was a few levels above you (5ā¦ I thinkā¦ or was it 10?) and no more than 2 more upgrades on the characters MOST upgraded weapon.
hence why I had 4 characters for online xD.
Levels 30, 60, 90, and 120ā¦ after that it is no longer a game of builds.

Thatās a thing I keep reading about. That going into the Darkwraith gives you an ending.
Doesnāt DS1 only have 2 ending?
Link the fire and Dark lord?
You donāt actually have to be a Darkwraith you just reach Gwynās bonfire and Just Walk Out to become the Dark Lord
But being a Darkwraith is for Roleplaying Lore Points
