Darksouls 3

Have you been wanting to play Darksouls 3 for the first time? Well you're in luck! Here I'll give you some quick tricks and such to help you get the most out of your very first Darksouls 3 playthrough. Don't worry! this guide will have no spoilers at all!

Picking Your Class

Picking your very first class in Darksouls 3 could make the difference between hating and loving the game. Your class gives you all your starting gear, spells, weapons, and your base stats. So it's important to look over the different classes and pick the one which best fits with your preferred play style.

Darksouls 3 has a total of ten classes that you can pick from in the start of the game. Darksouls is not an mmo, so your class will not give you can class based skills or attacks. It will just give you a set of starting stats, armor, weapons and/or spells. All the armor, weapons and spells you get in every class can be found later throughout the world of Darksouls 3. I'll start going through the different classes Darksouls 3 has to offer!

Injustice 2 Review

Image
Injustice 2 Injustice 2 released May of 2017 as a sequel to Injustice: Gods Among Us. The injustice Series is a fighting game in the style of Mortal Combat with DC super heros with a story line of multiple realities and a civil war between the different superheros. In my opinion Injustice: Gods Among Us is just another fighting game, it had a good story but other than that it was bland. Injustice 2 completely stepped up it's game with singleplayer content and replayability value. And Here's Why! Injustice has a Multiverse System, there is five to six multiverse events you can do, each one you'll have mini events inside each one (AKA having to fight 3 to 18 enemies). Each Multiverse will give you a reward after beating it, and will sometimes require you to play only as one character. Mini events will also give you rewards, and if you get a certain amount of points you can get a Bronze, Silver, and Gold Mother Crate. Now let'

Bloodborne: How To Get Blade Of Mercy Early

Image
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 fight a
