    Is anyone using Gear VR (or cardboard)? Any VR game recommendations?

    How far along are ya?


    Depending on where folks are at, if any of you want to do some co-op? It actually works really well. I would advise setting up a "party" for voice chat because the in-game system only allows voice chat once you are summoned.

    I just beat some crystal-something boss in the swamp area. Haven't gone past that yet.

    Hit me up!

    I'm soul farming on the High Wall of Lothric! I CAN"T STOP MYSELF FROM FARMING!

    I think I'm ready to move forward as it is taking over 6K souls so I need to find a new farm with better return on value. I leveled my strength up to level 18 last night so I could use the Lothric Knight's shield which took a while since I'm a mage.

    must find farms ...

    Hahahaha! Yeah, I was doing a little farming around there too but leveling up got too costly and that area wasn't providing enough.
    You don't want to farm too much though as it'll make it harder to match up with others if you want help in an area. I think they match you to people +/- 10 levels and of similarly leveled weapons.
    When I'm in a new area, I often drop my soapstone a few times and do some runs with people. Helps to see what's next and you can get a ton of souls.

    What build are you using in DS3?

    I went with mage to get the soul arrow right away, but I'm leveling towards a DEX build with high endurance. The katana Uchigatana has been my primary weapon, but I just got Arstor's Spear which you get by trading in the soul of the Tree Boss ... I wish it had just a little bit more reach.

    My first run through I always go with a Knight. I try to keep my builds fairly even-ish but for a knight, lean towards strength and dex. I use that katana as my primary weapon. I think it's a +5 or +6 now. I love it's speed coupled with the fact that each swing it doesn't use a ton of stamina. I can usually get in a number of consecutive hits before i run low or the enemy responds. Most invaders haven't been too successful either as I have a strong stance followed by speed with a fast and high damage blade. My secondary weapon (which I don't slot) is a buffed great sword.
    I've noticed that I have had a lot more success against invaders than I have in past Souls games. Not sure why. I think once I beat the game, my next run will be with a magic-based character.

    So, has anyone infused their weapons with gems yet? It seems like my only options for infusions on my katana aren't worth it. Two infusions seem to lessen the damage and one increases to a flat damage but it's almost identical to what I have now.

    I've read that you need to find a sharp gem ...

    Played the Overwatch beta over the weekend. It's sort of a Street Fighter / FPS in the sense that there are 21 characters to choose from. Once I found a character that I was good with, it was pretty fun to play.

    Anyone get the new Uncharted game?
    I see it's got great reviews. I've always been a fan of those games and will get it...just gotta finish DS3 first.

    Just picked it up and played the intro. Huge fan of the games. The graphics and gameplay are unreal at this point!

    The graphics were pretty realistic on the PS3! From what I've seen of the previews, the new one looks pretty amazing too.

    Yeah, I'm trying not to binge play it. Hard to hold back, but I was to savor every moment. I can already tell this story for this one is going to be great.

    Pretty much every Uncharted game I've played became a binge session. Hahaha!

    haha, unless they're in your fireteam there's nothing they can really do to you!
    Don't give up yet, the April update made it ridiculously easy.
