Yeah that's the area I was doing it. But my Soul Ray would one shot them, and often I could get up to three or four in one shot if I timed it right. Magic is seriously OP on this game lol. I need to go ahead and finish it up, maybe start a New Game+ run. But I also recently bought the Dark Souls trilogy and I want to check those out too. They supposedly benefit from the PS5 hardware and preform great.
 
I took a break to play the final Tomb Raider game and I'm almost done with that. As soon as I'm finished looking at Lara's ass I'll probably start DS1.

I've been suggesting this for years. At a certain point I think you have to consider that the animation style is intentional. It resembles the classic games in a very faithful manner, warts and all. 
 
Unpopular opinion probably but: I actually like most of the animations in MK because they harken back to the old games, and in turn, they feel like the old games. 
 
It seems strange to me to attribute the animation style purely to incompetence when you can look at the character intros, cutscenes and fatalities to see they clearly understand how to make more traditional/realistic looking animations. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Yeah, you didn't even play the real game yet dude lmao 
 
The first few elder Dragons you fight are kind of whatever. The real game starts on Master/G rank. 

Pro tip: the final boss area for that world is the best spot to farm Souls in the game. If you use the storm ruler, you can just knock those fuckers out of the sky and you're right next to an archstone for quick and easy rinse and repeat. 👍

I went looking for cloudstone in 4-3 and realized I could get 10s of thousands of souls real quick using Soul Ray on the flying sting ray thingies. So I may have spent a little bit of time in that area 😂

Bruh WHAT 
 

I'm over 100 soul level.
 
I dumped a bunch of levels into magic and memory (like beyond 30), mid 20s in strength. Leveled the Crescent Falchion to +5 and that's began my main weapon. I like to use light armor to stay agile, and my weapon damage scales with my high magic point bonus.
 

Yeah I beat all the other arch stones already. Final bosses for each one. I'm actually pretty OP right now 😆

Exactly. 
 
You want to talk about animation incompetence. Why does M. Bison wipe his head with no hat!
 
Something I thought about today. Chick-Fil-A is exceptionally mediocre.

You know, I'd love to, man. But I'm on daddy duty while my wife works today. And I'm only planning on being online for about an hour tonight for RL, then I have to crash early. Gotta get up at 5 am to go hunting tomorrow.
 
My days of playing videogames during the day are pretty much over. But maybe an evening next week we can try it? I wouldn't mind the help on the last level lol.

Despite playing a lot of MK X and 11, for some reason the animations just don't click with me. I dunno, they look and feel so awkward. I believe the Injustice games fall into the same category. I'm all for the details, but not when the characters move like action figures.

I'm with you, but maybe that's the point?  

How it started:

More like an hour and a half if you're talking about 4. 
 
5 doesn't really have much of this at all, it's the most gameplay heavy entry in the series.
 
But also, MGS3 is fucking dope😤

Well if you insist...
 

Maybe it’s just my area but niggas stay jerking off 2k. If you’re young and/or black sometimes it feels like you’re only allowed to like 2k, COD, GTA, and MK. Other than the first one I have nothing against those games but mention playing anything else and most people’s eyes glaze over. Even when I loved basketball the game always felt bad to play. I always preferred Madden but I haven’t played that in a good decade. 
 
Bacon IS overrated for sure but it’s definitely still good. 
 
 

Do you read the Korean webcomic "Solo Leveling"?  Sounds right up your alley.

Breathing 
 
Overrated af 
 
 

Aw man. Control makes you choose between 60 FPS and Raytracing on PS5. 😞 Probably just keep playing it on PC then and save the space here.
 
Meanwhile Spidey has full RT with its performance mode. Game honestly looks unbelievable. 

That's how I got mine. Best Buy said they were dropping systems on 11/22 but didn't say the time. So the bots, like everyone else had no clue when the systems were going to drop. Then they dropped them at the rando time of 5:15am. Then you had to go to three steps before they'd actually let you buy the thing. I thought that would be the turning point. I guess not. It's not going to get better anytime soon. I mean the Ryzen, Radeon, PS5, and XBS are all from AMD on TSMC 7nm. There are only so many wafers to go around and AMD underestimated the demand of their RX6000 series GPUs.
 
Edit: Thought I was feeling better. Headache and chills hit me with the wake up CA. 😑 And now here come the coughs. I'm gonna try to crash wish me luck.
