In the final stretch of Dark Souls 2, just got Burnt Ivory King, Sir Alonne and Nashandra/Aldia left. Anyone know if it’s possible to beat the final boss but hold off on NG+? I seem to remember starting NG+ in Majula instead of it being automatic but I want to save Sir Alonne for last.
Well that’s Burnt Ivory King, Nashandra and Aldia down. Almost disappointingly, I beat Nash and Aldia without dying, in a row. It’s such a disappointing final boss compared to Gwyn. I know you can just parry Gwyn but Nashandra literally just does a feeble little swipe at you and my Blacksteel Katana made quick work of her. Aldia is a bit disappointing too, I didn’t even get hit. You just poke him, walk away, avoid a fire attack, repeat. Just Sir Alonne and then I can finally be truly done with this trilogy. Yes, I beat Darklurker, even the super secret bosses have fallen to my sword!
@nessisonett Congratulations dude, you must feel really proud of yourself. Sir Alonne's head is finally yours!
Since I couldn't be there with you, just imagine I left a message for you near his corpse saying "Be wary of a swollen head".

I'm currently playing God Of War (2018) .Does New Game Plus add much besides Zeus Armor? I am currently in Tyr's secret vault, the second one you encounter later in the game.

Just got the platinum for TLOU2 and now looking at what to do next before Ghost of Tsushima. I'm at Lost Lake on Days Gone, the end of chapter 3 on FFVII and I have Borderlands 3 and Bioshock waiting as well. I'll play some Tetris Effect whilst I think about it
Older than I care to remember but have been gaming since owning a wooden Atari 2600 and played pretty much everything inbetween.
@nessisonett Do you ever play God Of War? Have you played it?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Yep, I played it just before Christmas last year while it was on Now. Got really quite close to the platinum before it went off. It’s hands down one of the best games on PS4, that’s for sure. I’m not even that much a fan of the originals but yeah, the reboot is great.
@nessisonett I just beat it for the second time, going after the valkyries, dragons and Zeus Armor Set in New Game Plus now. Do you think you will ever go back to it?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I really need to go back to it for the platinum and I’m hoping they’ll give it away with PS Plus near the end of the PS4’s lifespan. It’s a good enough game that I wouldn’t mind having to replay it to get to the endgame.
PREY. I bought this yonks ago when the moon thingy expansion was released. Its got a Bioshock/Half Life vibe going on, but in space. I like how all the useless loot you pick up actually has a use as you can recycle anything and then craft into useful stuff, like ammo and health packs.
The alien nasties can be quite menacing without being overly scary. Mind you the smaller ones are spider like which is kinda freaking me out a bit. The bigger ones you can hear stomping around in the distance, which is quite effective especially with headphones. It is not too difficult once you understand what approach to take, but the bigger enemies can kill you quite quickly.
The voice cast is quite good, the two notable stars so far are Bendeict Wong and Walter Goggins. Tagging @nessisonett as you've recently watched Justified. The latter i recognised straight away with his accent, and he is basically playing his character from Justified lol. Not sure how big a role he plays as you can choose to kill him off early on. Which I did, but then reloaded a save, and I'm only just past that section.
@JohnnyShoulder That’s a game I haven’t got round to yet but own. I’m definitely going near it sooner rather than later if it’s got Walton Goggins, he was brilliant in Justified. No way I’m killing him off given the opportunity!!
@nessisonett I'm enjoying it so far, the only negative so far is it is showing its age slightly graphically. Really like the score too, I walked into one area and it reminded of a John Carpenter film, all synthy and spooky. It is on PS Now too, so could be a good title for Gameclub somewhere down the line.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@Kidfried I play that game all the time, it's my "jam" I was recently playing as a character based on Guts from Berserk. What sort of stats do you need for your Uchigatana build? what gear are you using?

I've just started the new F1 but over the last couple of days have returned to FFVII remake. I'm about 10 hours in and Square really need to learn the meaning of the word chapter, I think I've done 4 "chapters" just taking down reactor 5.
Its not even close to the quality of the original but its pretty good, the combat is fun if messy, playing as Tifa is the most enjoyable so far. Visually its either great or rubbish depending on what youre looking at, exploration is largely non existent and the game is essentially walk to the blue box. I do like how they've fleshed out some of the characters, with some fun comments from Barrett and Jessie doing anything to touch Clouds Buster Sword. Overall I have enjoyed it, though I do wonder how much of that is just me liking seeing these areas with modern graphics. It just seems like their only solution to extending what it a relatively short part of the original, is to have longer corridors and some quite awful side quests and they still don't know how to implement summons in modern games. I'll keep going as I want to see it through and it may well pick up
