@crimsontadpoles I still have 5&6 to go but the whole series is great fun.
As I’ve said on here many times, Zero is a real high point as it was made much later (it came out ten years after the first game and between 5&6) so it really knows what it’s doing by that point and does an excellent job of being accessible to newcomers but with plenty of fan service for those who already know the games.
I think as long as you space the games out and appreciate the quirks of the older games for what they are, then the series still holds up fine.
Finally got around to playing Celeste, I love it - beat the game, got all the strawberries, now onto the thumb-destroying B-side levels. All this platforming is destroying the rubber on my ageing DS4 thumbsticks, but there's no way I'm replacing them now, they will have to survive two more months until DualSense comes along with the PS5...
Still going through my second playthrough of Dark Souls Remastered, I am soul farming in Darkroot Garden, in the Grave of Artorias, specifically. Stat-wise, I am at 50 Vit, 40 End, 35 Str and 31 Dex (the most important stats, I find) .Levelling Str & Dex up to 40 each before I can move on & brave the horrors (design-wise according to some opinions and literal according to others) of the second half of the game.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Good luck! I can’t quite remember how far I got with the game as I bought my PS4 midway through it and never went back to finish it.
I also ruined the game slightly for myself by using the Drake Sword (the one obtained by shooting off the dragon’s tail) which meant I never focused on building my stats appropriately.
@Thrillho Can't you start afresh on PS4 with Dark Souls Remastered? Apparently the Drake Sword becomes irrelevant around Sen's Fortress time, so that's probably a point you didn't make it to (about halfway through the game, well, almost). I am going on to Bloodborne next (for the second time as well).

Really love the Fleischer/Rubber hose animation style and the soundtrack is wonderful of course. The bosses are all very vibrant and really seem to fit that 1930's style of cartoons. Even the names they give to the levels evoke that era to me
Bit surprised how well I did to be honest against the bosses (With only an extra heart and no other weapons or skills) and managed to get through them (and only them) on the first island in just over half an hour.
I've actually found the run and gun levels a bit harder so far, though that's probably just because it IS the starting area and I was trying to see if I could get through those platforming stages without taking damage (That seems a bit impossible at the moment!)
I really didn't like the initial control/button set up though... Felt very off to me so I ended up switching that up to take advantage of the shoulder buttons more.
I also played some more Fall Guys last night with a lot wider stage variety then my previous goes through it.
... I did pretty badly at that though to say the least 😅
Though I did finally manage to make it through slime climb.
And there was a smidge of Danganronpa 2 though not really enough to comment on anything about it besides finding out that walking raises your Tamogotchi like pets faster then running and after 3 or so snakemi pets I finally bothered a bit more and got something quite different 😅
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy The run-and-gun levels bring it down for me. I like the bosses and I’m certainly glad I’ve beaten it but those levels erred slightly too far on the side of ‘frustratingly trial-and-error’.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Wow, 3 virtual pets already? I think I only had 2 Snakemi by the end of the main storyline. I did run everywhere though, which makes it slower to raise them.
Glad to see that you seem to be having fun with Danganronpa 2 and Cuphead. And very well done on reaching the end of Slime Climb, that is a very tricky stage.
I've never actually played a run 'n' gun like Contra or Metal Slug before so I'm not familar with the typical difficulty or how they should play in the slightest...
... but I did certainly retry those first two Run 'n' Gun levels in Cuphead a number of times @nessisonett! 😅
I've ran/walked everywhere in Danganronpa 2 compared to the first game where I did use the map rather freqently to jump to the various points of interest.
I've also taken longer routes to destinations purposely to raise up the virtual pets a bit more. Probably why I've gone quite a bit faster in raising them compared to you @crimsontadpoles 😅
I did also use my first bit of free time this chapter with Peko which was certainly interesting and kinda adorable in it's own way.
I'm trying to balance out the free time sessions with two boys/two girls each if I can to get a nice spread of events this time around rather then focusing on one or two characters like I did in Trigger Happy Havoc. Helps that I quite like the general cast a bit more from the get go so I'm more inclined to do so.
And cheers! Only took like six/seven attempts to finally through Slime Climb... Those beams are awful but hopefully I've got the hang of them now
I honestly don't remember that gif you've posted happening at all in FFVII @RogerRoger (Though it did raise a smile) but good to see you've been interested in it a little more.
I think I ended up with Tifa in that Golden Saucer bit... wasn't trying though as I didn't really care for any of the characters myself personally (especially Aerith whom I just found terribly bland) and I left them with the default names! 😂

Yeah I already knew about certain things in advance as well thanks to it being one of the worst kept spoilers ever.
It's why I Never used her at all... Never engaged with her at all as I knew she was popping her clogs soon enough. I felt nothing 😂... Though her theme is a wonderful piece of music
And cheers... I think the second isle in Cuphead will be quite a challenge... I think I just got really lucky with the bosses on the first!

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Well done on getting through the first island relatively pain-free. It might make you think that you’ll be in for an easy ride but I was stuck on the second island for about 6 months 😂😂
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Well I was stuck on a couple of bosses and went back to them every couple of weeks with no success for roughly 6 months. So I wasn’t playing the levels repeatedly but they were still difficult and had me stumped!
