The gems will usually drop your base damage down a bit but will increase your scaling in what the gem is specialized in. If you have high strength, then a heavy gem is good, high dexterity is sharp, high in both is refined and so on.
I'm still not too clear on the elemental gems, but I do know that each "attribute" usually has 2 gems for it. For example, a fire gem will give your weapon a fire attribute but will remove scaling from it, while a chaos weapon will have lower base damage but will scale off of faith and intelligence. A raw gem boosts your base damage but removes scaling.

Can anyone recommend a good racing game for PS4? I've looked at a list, and turns out there's several that are worth trying. Project Cars, Dirt Rally, Trackmania Turbo, Need for Speed, Driveclub Bikes. I don't know anything about any of them. I hope Gran Turismo 7 comes sooner rather than later.

I've heard good things about project cars and the F1 game that came out last winter.
I did not like the recent need for speed game at all.

I am not that big into racing but my Father in Law is - he keeps telling me to pickup Project Cars, he said hands down the best...

He is old tho so I dunno

Put an Estoc +10 with a heavy gem in my left hand and it's surprising how useful it is. Easily breaks the shield of most knights and then follow it up with Yhorm smash.

This last patch has seriously ****ed up my mojo. I was seriously dominating some bosses with my great sword. They nerfed the hell outta them.

Yhorms machete bruh. Self buffing weapon art, unique moveset while buffed, AR of 684. I just said **** it and went full tank/strength build and it's been great.

Is that the one you get on the road of sacrifices that replenishes HP?
I should've used that ****er.

Tell you what though...
I beat Sullivan earlier and got his great sword. High magic and fire. Awesome sword art too.
I'm gonna dig that bastardi.

No, but that is a great weapon to use until you get it. Yhorms machete is a boss soul weapon.

I wish uncharted 4 would just get here already

If you want to get a refund on The Division from Amazon, they're giving them for people that ask.

What a mess that game is. The only game I've bought for my playstation that I regret.

Huh?

I've heard that either people absolutely love it or hate it. Heard that there's a lot of people cheating like a mofo online as well.

I asked in the PS4 Discussion thread and didn't get any feedback so I'll ask again here: anyone play Smite?
