@TheBrandedSwordsman Oh yeah, I really like the combat. It’s an interesting mix, with a lot of options. There’s a strategy to it and using reflexes, sort of like Soulsborne but obviously different too, like you say.
I’ll be interested to see how you like Aerith. I found Tifa really enjoyable to fight as, but Aerith also has her strengths. Barrett is probably the most boring to control, but his ranged attacks are important to utilize.

Back on Far Cry 5 after a couple of weeks break - heading north into the mountains. Absolutely love this game. Me, Grace (sniper) and Jess (bow expert) are sneaking round and taking out entire encampments without anyone knowing we were there! But I just have to get to Cheeseburger soon...
I've gone back to God of War. Beat Modi and Magni (which was pretty fun boss fight), obtained some sort of special material that allows me to open magic doors, and have been doing side content since. Some of these enemies you run across in side areas are harder than bosses! There's a part where I got jumped by two werewolves where, I swear to god, I had to reload my save ten times because I kept getting killed, whereas I haven't died to a boss more than once, and usually beat them on my first go.
The "travelers" and enemies that come out of space-time rifts also tend to be pretty hardcore.
Lots of dying, but I'm having fun.

@RogerRoger I’ll probably wait. I mean - I shouldn’t really be buying any more games with my current backlog
But if it goes on sale by the end of the year, I’ll probably get it then I definitely want to play it!
@Ralizah Thing about those optional encounters is that some are definitely the “come back later” kind
And yeah, the hardest encounters in the game are definitely some of the optional ones.
@Voltan lol for me, they're the "throw myself at them twenty times, dodge little every attack, and defeat the enemy by spamming light attacks and Atreus' arrows in between swings" sort of enemy. I haven't found one I've just been unable to defeat yet. One was particularly annoying, though, because one or two hits meant death, and he literally never stopped swinging his stupid weapon, so the fight was 10+ minutes of weaving in and out of attacks.

@Th3solution On Chapter 6 of FFVIIR now I just defeated the Crab Warden I had 6 potions available to me during that boss fight, and only just discovered you can buy as many as you want from vending machines throughout the world, I only bought 9 from the last one 😂 I now have 99 in stock. Boss fights should be a breeze from here on in. Have you had any time to play in the last few days?

@TheBrandedSwordsman Not played any the last few days, unfortunately. Looks like you’re getting close to catching up to me. The puzzles in Ch 6 were pretty good, I thought, although I got a little tired of the level design by the end. I’ll be curious what you think of the next chapter.
It is amazing how many people here on the forums are currently playing FF7R alongside you and I. Seems a very popular game right now.

@TraCuz- Coming to the end of my 4th playthrough of MGS2, just the extreme run after that and then the side stuff. Loved it and can't wait to play MGS4.
I got a few mates who play FFXIV, they're so excited for the next expansion! Enjoy buddy.
@colonelkilgore Wow 4th playthrough? It really is a fun replayable game though. Finding out that the entire game was staged as a Shadow Moses invasion mission, finding out the Colonel and Rose were AI, and that haunting monologue from the Colonel that scarily reflects our current world. What a special game, have you already played Snake Eater?
@TraCuz- yeah it's so prescient to be fair. I played Snake Eater earlier in the year... and loved it but 2 is my favourite out of the two. Got a feeling I may like 4 even more though!
@colonelkilgore I gotta say 4 is amazing with its fan service. It really makes paying attention to the smaller details pay off. You may wanna get the popcorn ready because it's definitely more of a movie than a game lol.
@TraCuz- yeah I heard there’s a lot of cut-scenes. That’s cool though, I love the lore, characters and story… so I’m good putting my feet up and the controller down for a few hours 👍
@colonelkilgore It is! What I found so interesting is how it sounds like gibberish and is said in the middle of a tense cutscene, but for some reason I remembered it by heart the first time I heard it haha.
Btw I'm laughing pretty hard at your google reaction
