@TheBrandedSwordsman no, I actually bought it but I've stopped playing dlc's... if I'm honest, I think it's the trophy hunting. Once I pop the plat, I'm onto the next plat rather than playing through additional episodes.
I might well play it when I play the PS5 version though as I loved the world and characters Remedy created.
@colonelkilgore Obviously you get trophies for Bloodborne's DLC but they don't count towards the plat. I take it you were still playing DLCs before you went trophy hunting when you played The Old Hunters? I guess because it's FromSoft you wanted to play it anyway, being such a huge fan, Dark Souls III's Ringed City probably being played by you for the same reason - certainly no trophies to be had there, plat or otherwise!

@colonelkilgore I meant to reply to your post about Ghost of Tsushima.
Like I say, I’ve really enjoyed it but it introduces lots of new elements over the first 10hrs or so but then very little from then on. It’s just starting to feel that missions are turning into investigate this area, find and follow tracks, KILL EVERYONE.
Luckily the combat is really fun and I love the world and story, it just feels like it could have benefitted from being slightly streamlined but maybe it’s just because I insist on doing absolutely everything possible in the game.
The platinum is very do-able too so far, there’s just one random (hidden) one that requires you to “dress like a legendary thief” which is a bit obtuse.
@TheBrandedSwordsman yeah Bloodborne was my first platinum... and it took a couple of years for the trophy hunting bug to fully take hold. Also, I will always make an exception for From's DLCs as their always exemplary... probably better content than found in the base games.
@Thrillho I'm really interested to test out GoT's combat, I've heard very good things in that regard and it is probably my main priority when enjoying a game like Ghost.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I also wasn't too keen on that demo. shame because I had my eyes on Scarlet Nexus for a while. I liked the story presentation and I did like some of the combat ideas. They made the telekinetic abilities pretty seamless and combat looks stylish, but when party members flash on the screen when using their abilites it was cool at first but I found it cumbersome to my gameplay after awhile.
Something to keep an eye out for is that Tales of Arise
@TheBrandedSwordsman Glad to hear you like it so far. The difficulty ramps up a little toward the end, but just keep building Jesse’s attributes (I prioritized health and mostly ignored melee - preferring to do most of my damage from a distance with the telekinetic hurling of items at the enemies) and you should be okay. @colonelkilgore
The DLC is much more difficult than the base game, imo, with pretty tough boss fights. I played both at the end game, and The Foundation fits best to play after the game conclusion, whereas AWE can be played naturally in the course of the game but is probably too difficult to play early on. Either way, I think the DLCs are worth a shot, for the new story elements and the new area and skills in The Foundation are pretty interesting.
@Thrillho I think you’ll find the end game for GoT wraps up pretty quickly. I agree that the open world approach dragged into the latter half, but the story beats make it fly a little quicker at the end. Some streamlining could have helped, but I agree that I, like you, am obsessive at doing everything and unlocking the whole beautiful map.

I dunno if it's cus I played the PS4 version of the Scarlet Nexus demo but I found it rather a chore to be honest @TraCuz- with the camera and lock on attacks not working correctly at all for me. Really didn't like how the girl character played either with her long range style of gameplay.
Can't say I'm too excited about Arise either. I played Xillia ages back and thought it was ok I suppose but had no desire to rush out and play more of the series.
Unfortunately though I tried the Berseria demo on PS4 a couple weeks back to get familiarise myself with the tales style of gameplay again and didn't like what I played in the slightest.
So I'll be giving Arise as wide a berth as I can. Hopefully you, and all the other tales fans (or interested parties), end up liking Arise when it comes out though! 😁

@colonelkilgore I’d say that neither DLC is particularly critical storywise. The AWE content has a call back to Alan Wake, which I never played, so it probably didn’t have as big an impact to me from a narrative point of view. I mostly enjoyed the new enemies and puzzles and a new weapon it has available. The Foundation was deemed the weaker of the two critically, but I found it to be the better as far as adding a small narrative expansion and a nice new setting. Without spoiling anything, it does seem to be a nice segue into a potential sequel.

@Th3solution I never played Alan Wake either but would definitely play it if Remedy released a remaster on PlayStation. Yeah, I think I’ll definitely have to play the dlc on my next playthrough, the game just clicked with me on so many levels I’d be doing it a disservice if I didn’t.
