Blade of Mercy The Blade Of Mercy is a weapon in Bloodborne that can be either a normal sword, or twin blades. The BoM has somewhat small starting damage with a base 60 physical and 30 arcane. It is a pure skill weapon, so leveling skill will be a great idea for this weapon. At +0 it has a C ranking in Skill, then at +1 to +4 it has a B ranking, +5 to +9 it has an A ranking and at 10+ it has an S ranking. The BoM is a fast weapon, and great for fast combos. Infact, it's main combo happens to be an R1 spam. With the BoM you can get an 8 hit combo just with R1. While in transformed mode its L2 does a sweep attack then a back step. The best attacks for this weapon are attacks followed up by running or dashing, as it does 50% more damage when done so. Though the thing is, to get this weapon you normally have to go through Eileen the Crow's quest line then Defeat Rom, a later game boss. After defeating Rom you go to the Grand Cathedral and if you did her quest you fi...

Bloodborne  When you first start the game you'll start in a room of Isofka's Clinic. There will be a few stairs to go down into another room. In here there is a Lycanthrope eating the body of someone. Here you are meant to die from the beast to show you how when you die you get transported to the hunters dream. If you do it that way, in the Hunter's Workshop will be closed till you come back to the dream the next time. If you run past the Beast and go straight to the lamp the door will already be open.  So run past the beast and open the door into Yharnam. You'll see two gates, one to the right, and  one to the left. The one to theright you won't be able to open till around mid game. So if you go to the right gate then take another right, you'll beon a street near a Huntsman. Since you have no weapon left, walk a little bit further you'll see an item and a lever. Pick up the item, it's a few Blood Vials, and pull the lever. Once the lever is pu...

The Differences Between Bloodborne and Darksouls  Bloodborne was released on March 24th 2015 and was surprisingly similar to Fromsofts other well known game series Darksouls. Then exactly a year later on march 24th 2016 Darksouls 3 was released, which was even more like Bloodborne like it's previous games. And that's why I'm here to point out a few of the differences between the two games. The first difference is probably the most obvious, the setting. Bloodborne changes out the medieval setting of Darksouls for a a dark gothic horror setting with Cthulu beats running around. Instead of going through big medieval towns and fighting giant knights in Lothic, Lordran and Drangelic in the souls series, in bloodborne you travel throughout the land of Yharnam, most of it being a gothic and dark 1800s like town, with beasts and such running around. Another thing about the setting in Bloodborne vs Darksouls. In all three of the darksouls games, you run the risk of tur...

    Moonlight Butterfly The Moonlight Butterfly is an early game optional boss in Darksouls. You can find it in Darkroot garden up a tower past a few Stone Golems and tree monsters. If you're human you can summon Witch Beatrice to aid you in the fight, her summon sign is right under the stairs leading up to the Moonlight Butterfly This boss is unique in the way that it's the only boss of it's kind in this entire game. Instead of a giant demon you have to fight, it's a... well. Butterfly in the sky. Now if you used pyromancies or have a bow, it'll be very useful in this fight Instead of the Moonlight butterfly being down for you to hit, it's in the sky shooting sorceries at you. Basically you just have to dodge her attacks till a little while later she stops and rests at the bottom of the bridge, this is where you attack her. Deal as much damage as you can, if you do it right you can get her by the second time she rests.   Well there really isn...

Iron Golem The Iron Golem is the boss of the area Sens Fortress in Darksouls 3. The Iron Golem is a large boss, with slow attacks and very telegraphed moves. Honestly Sen's Fortress was harder than he was in my opinion.  Now this boss fight will be a lot harder if you use a dex build. A lot of the dex weapons aren't good against him. The best weapons you can use with this boss is some sort of hammer or club, and Gold Pine Resin. This boss is just one giant thing of armor, so Lightning and Strike Damage will do wonders against him Another thing you'll want to do is before you go into the boss, go up the spiral staircase opposite the direction of the fog wall. Up the spiral staircase is a giant, he throwing giant fire bombs down in the boss room, making a large section of it on fire. If you kill him here, there will be a lt more room for you to fight the Iron Golem. When fighting the Iron Golem you'll want to stay under his legs, attack his legs and keep...

Gaping Dragon The Gaping Dragon is the boss of the Depths are in Darksouls. Once you kill the Gaping Dragon he drops the key to blighttown which is one of the two ways you can get to Blighttown, the other way being through the Valley of Drakes. The Gaping Dragon boss is fairly early game. At this point in the game this is probably the biggest and strongest boss you've encountered at this point.  Luckily for you there's some NPCs you can summon. If you met Solaire of Astora and Knight Lautrec in the Undead Burg then you'll be able to summon them. Their summon signs will be next to the staircase leading down to the gaping dragon boss fight. And of course if you find any player summons you might want to use those rather than the npcs. When you get into the boss room the Gaping Dragon will come out from the pit at the very end of the boss room and charge you. The best idea in this fight is to attack his tail and the back of him, mostly because his open rib cage wil...

Ornstein and Smough Ornstein and Smough is the boss of Anor Londo. The boss fight consists of two knights, Ornstein and Smough, surprising I know. Ornstein and Smough are known to be one of the hardest boss fights in all of darksouls. You can find Ornstein and Smough inside the cathedral at the end of the long bridge in Anor londo, if you've already done everything to get there then you can go straight in. When you enter the boss fight you'll see the two knights, Ornstein and Smough.  Ornstein being the smaller Lion Knight with the spear is much more agile and quick than his counterpart Smough. Ornstein will charge right at you int he beggining of the boss fight and will continue to do so through out the fight, using his spear to follow you and punish estus drinking. While Ornstein continues to get up close on you with his spear, be careful of the larger knight Smough.  Smough is a giant knight with disturbing armor, and an even more disturbing great hammer nea...

Darksouls Darksouls is the first game in the Darksouls series with consists of Darksouls, Darksouls II, and Darksouls 3. Although technically there is Demonsouls, which came before Darksouls, and Bloodborne which came before Darksouls 3 we're only going to be talking about the Darksouls games, and not all the Soulsborne titles. Level Design While darksouls might not have the best combat, compared to newer games like Darksouls 3, which definitely  has the better and more fine tuned combat. The way the world in Darksouls is built is worlds better than Darksouls 3 or even Darksouls 2. In  Darksouls3 and for the most part Darksouls 2, you have a general direction to go and you go there. For example in Darksouls 3 you have no choice about where you want to go. You go to the High Wall of Lothric, from here you kill the boss Vordt and go to the Undead Settlement. You can kill an npc though and trigger an end game boss The Dancer of the Boreal Valley and go to Lothric Ca...

How to Be Early In Darksouls 3 In Darksouls, there isn't just one build you can do and be amazing at the game. There isn't one build that's the best and is better than them all. Sure there's easier builds, Using a sword and straightsword is pretty solid, so is using one of the Ultra Greatswords, heck Sellsword winblades are killer. But that's maybe not what you want to do. You might want to use an axe, or pyromancies, or even twin daggers I dunno, But at the end of the day almost and build, weapon combos, and good stats applying to those weapons or spells, can be good. Heck, someone using the Broken Straight Sword could do twice as good as someone using an Ultra Greatsword if they know how to use it right and have right stats applying to that, but we're talking about early game now.  Almost every weapon you'll get in early game Darksouls is going to be underwhelming in the damage department, which is why we have a little thing called Weapon Reinfor...

Darksouls 3 Combat Darksouls has one of the best combat systems in any of the games I've played it. It's fair, there is many options and well, it's super enjoyable. Each weapon in Darksouls has it's own move set, although except for a few weapons that have the same move set. Each weapon also has a weapon art which can make a big deal when doing PvE or Pvp. Most boss weapons in Darksouls 3 have unique weapon arts that's usually something along the lines of shooting some sort of beam, making a wall of fire. Something like that. So in here we're going to be going over the different damage types so you can have and how to get the most bang for your buck. Magic Damage Types Magic Damage Magic Damage is all damage dealt by Sorceries, weapons with a magic buff, or infused with one of the magic gems. How armor works in Darksouls 3 is you're not just gonna find a good set of armor that has good defense over everything. If you're going to be a Heavy Kn...

Darksouls Skill Points Today we're going to be going over where to put your skill points to get more bang for you buck. We're also going to be going over the 6 basic play styles, Giant Greatsword Wielding Maniac, Sword and Board, Sorceries, Pyromancies, Miracles, and Hyper Dex sword swinger. First though, let's quickly cover what stats do what. Also, a good thing to note is that to get upgrade your stats you need to use Souls which is the game wide currency that you sell stuff, and buy stuff with, you get it from selling items and killing creatures, or finding souls or boss souls throughout the world and using them. The amount of souls you need per level increases every time you level up. Vigor Vigor is the main thing you'll want to level up early game, for all of the play styles, Vigor increases your maximum health, while also boosting your immunity to Frost. The amount of Health you get per point of Vigor goes up and down the more you level, but once you hit...

Darksouls Remastered Darksouls Remastered was announced to come out on May 25th 2018 for the Xbox One, Ps4, PC, and the Nintendo Switch and oh man I'm ready. Darksouls is the oldest of the Darksouls games, not counting Demon Souls. So that's why it's a big deal for Darksouls to be remastered, a better looking and better running of the oldest darksouls game. I think this is great. It'll get a lot of people playing, on all of the consoles. Which'll mean for plenty of people to summon and play with. You'll be able to experience Darksouls like never before, playing and looking better.

Darksouls 3 For the large amount of times I'm written about Darksouls I was surprised when I looked and saw I haven't written a review on it yet, well here we are now! Darksouls 3, the latest and last game in the Darksouls series, and one of my favorite games of all time. Darksouls 3 released March 24th 2017 for Steam, Ps4 and XboxOne. Darksouls 3 has a 9/10 rating on steam and a 9.5/10 rating from IGN. The story of Darksouls 3, though as hard to find and understand as it is, is that there is 5 Lords of Cinder,  Aldrich ,  The Abyss Watchers ,  Prince Lothric ,  Yhorm The Giant , and Ludleth of Courland. The job of the lords of Cinder is that they are supposed to link the fire, though Prince Lothric decided that he didn't want to take up the title so he just didn't link the fire, that's where you come in. When the fire isn't linked it's the Firekeeper's job to ring the Firelink bell which summons the champion of ash, that's you. You have to ...

Absolver Game Review  Absolver is an online martial arts third person view fighting game that released on august 29th of 2017. Upon release Absolver had massive server and connection issues. I bought Absolver the day it came out and wasn't able to get online till almost four months later when a patch was released. Besides that Absolver has a massive lack of singleplayer content, and all the singleplayer content it does has is really just building up to the final end game, the Multiplayer PVP. Besides that though, Absolver is amazing, it's fighting system gives you a lot of customizability. There is four main martial arts styles in the game so far. Forsaken, Khalt, Windfall and Stagger. The first three you can choose from at the start of the game but you have to unlock the stagger style later on. Each Style gives you it's class ability and then an attack or defense boost towards different stats like dex, strength, health, ect. And because different attacks favo...

Cuphead Chances are you've probably heard of the game Cuphead. Cuphead was released September 29 2017, it is a 2d shooting game praised for it's unique design, having the looks of a 1930's cartoon. Cuphead became amazing popular winning three awards in the Game Awards 2017, Best Art Direction, Best Independent Game, and Best Deput Indie Game. The plot of the game is that you, Cuphead and your friend Mugman lost all their money at the Devil's Casino and now to pay back their debt have to go and collect the souls of different people who owe the devil their soul. Cuphead is pretty much a bossrush game. There is a few "Run and Gun" levels where the goal is to get from point A to point B while also collecting coins, but the amount of Bosses vastly out numbers the amount of Run and Gun levels. Another thing that Cuphead is widely known for is the difficulty of the game. In Cuphead all you have to do is shoot, jump, run and parry. P...

Player Unknown's Battlegrounds PUBG, I doubt I have to explain what it is but PUBG is a battle royal shooter. In PUBG 100 people get on a plane and a parachute down onto an large island with towns, vehicles even military bases. The end goal of each PUBG round is to be the last man standing and get the fabled chicken dinner. Once in the round, a circle will spawn on the map, large at first. At that point everyone tries to get into the large circle, everything outside of the circle with be outside a blue wall of death that looks suspiciously like an energy field. On through the round the circle was shrink and appear different places, making it so that in the later times of the round people will be fairly up close and personal. Why PUBG Got So Popular There's two things in my opinion that made PUBG so huge. One of them is obviously the streamers. PUBG has become a very popular game to stream on both Twitch and Youtube. With people like Shroud s...
