Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@Rudy_Manchego I decided to go back to Dark Souls Remastered once more instead to complete it a second time, with my Guts (Berserk manga) build, and to get the alternate ending. Are you a fan of that game?

@JohnnyShoulder I spent ages on Lady Maria first time round - when I played through the DLC a second time, I beat her first go. It was mainly luck and also that I had just got a bit better at parrying. I used 2 blood vials and got 5 or 6 parries in. I don't think it was skill though - on my very first playthrough ever I beat Father Gascoigne on my first go and thought I was god. I have never beaten him subsequently on a first go.

@nessisonett Oh boy yes - I think I can beat him but for me, with all these fights, the whole thing is just repetition until I learn the move set over and over. I am a slow learner!

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I love Bloodborne and have Dark Souls but have never beaten it. I started Dark Souls earlier this year and then went back to Bloodborne. I really do need to though.

As my partner was chiding me for never playing Train Sim World as I was talking about the sequel, I decided to fire it up again. I still get confused about the pantograph. I can get the train up and running okay and manage to stop at the next station but then it doesn't want to play with me after that. The English trains are cool to use though. I just wish there was more variety in the DLC.

@Rudy_Manchego I can give you some tips if you like? I know of an excellent farming spot.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Thanks! I will defo need them when I come back to the game since farming is a necessary part of my Soulsborne experience!

@Draco_V_Ecliptic @Rudy_Manchego

This was my go to soul farming spot in the first game, more for the fact that it would always make me laugh as the enemies throw themselves off the cliff (bonus points if they bounce off your head first)

@Thrillho That's the spot I was talking about, Grave of Artorias in Darkroot Garden.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy All I can say is that Trails in the Sky FC is pretty easy. Not baby easy, but certainly not even touching SMT III difficulty. I only died once, as far as I recall, and never really felt the need to grind.

Maybe you're drastically underleveled or something?

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Note to self: play Trails of Cold Steel 2 on Easy Mode.

@Ralizah FC is pretty easy but SC was brutal on Normal towards the end. I had to retry battles a few times and eventually drop to easy. At least you gain levels easily with the XP scaling with your level.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy @nessisonett It sounds like their Trails games have a pattern of becoming harder with their second entries. Which makes sense if you consider that they're building off the first games in their respective sub-series.

Character level inflation always freaks me out. It's probably one of the reasons I never could get too much into the Disgaea games.

@Arugula Welcome back and glad you enjoyed your break! Will be interesting to see if you like Subnautica. With your history, I'm not sure that you will.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Hahaha finally I have clarity that I made the right choice playing the others! Good to see you enjoyed the Cold Steel games enough to binge them that quickly though, that’s pretty crazy how fast you’ve done that.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Are you moving on to Cold Steel 3 now? I hear the Liberl/Crossbell connections are even more pronounced in that one.

@Ralizah Given I know for a fact that Agate and Tita turn up in that one, I think it would lose a lot of impact without having played Sky.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy That’s fair enough, they really don’t make it easy to catch up on the series.

Thought I’d try playing Sekiro again. Bounced right off it first time, wasn’t a fan at all. Might as well give it another go.

Hope it clicks with you this time @nessisonett. Personally I think technically it has the best combat in any game this gen that I've played. From memory only Nioh comes close. Those last bosses though, damn those are tough mo fo's.

@JohnnyShoulder Yeah, I do like the Souls games and Nioh but I got to Headless Ape last time and just didn’t feel the urge to succeed. It’s silly to go straight back to that file so I’m just starting again and seeing if I can appreciate it more, now that I’ve played everything except Demon’s Souls. For whatever reason, I still can’t hear voices though after checking loads of different settings. I’m beginning to think I have a dodgy disc but that’s fine, I have subtitles anyway.

Started Yakuza 0. I've not done much with it, just roughed up some people and did some karaoke, but I'm really liking what I'm seeing of it so far.
