@LN78 I’m not sure when the transition occurred whereby online help became easily accessible, but it must have been within the last 10 years since I did my first try at Dark Souls in 2012 and abandoned it due to massive confusion and frustration about what I was supposed to be doing in the game and how to play the basic mechanics of it. I don’t remember trying to Google anything back then but maybe help was out there at the time and I just didn’t avail myself to it.
I do remember using Gamefaqs for a lot of guides and help on various games over the years. Not to mention an occasional strategy guide. I almost never go to the Gamefaqs site anymore since videos are much simpler to follow. We now have a million YouTube videos to choose from when we’re stuck, and not to mention Sony baked into the PS5 that video help system you can use for hints or guidance and just bypass the whole internet search thing. Now apparently they’ve gone one further and just made the characters in the game tell you all the clues outright! 😅
An options slider is probably what would be the best middle-ground. I liked the Shadow of the Tomb Raider approach where there were separate settings to make combat, exploration, and puzzles all at your preferred difficulty level. So one could make puzzles at their baseline hardest (and Lara would keep her hint giving thoughts to herself) and yet make the combat easy, and vice versa.
Currently playing through Soul Hackers 2. I finished Persona 5 Royal on gamepass last weeek and absolutely loved it. Since Soul Hackers 2 was in the sale for half off in the PSN sale last week i decided i wanted to play another Atlus game and got that one. Even though i miss the social aspects of P5R, which are a lot less in Soul Hackers 2, I'm enjoying my time with it. The dungeons feels like the palaces and the fights are easily understandable since the Demons fight like Personas and also use the weakness system like P5R does. I am enjoying my time with it.
That’s Sonic 2 polished off from Origins as well so just S3&K (not N) to go!
It was quite funny to see Mark Cerny’s name pop up in the credits for the second game though; I’m sure I did know he worked on the game but still surprised me to see it.
I'm on to the third zone of Sonic Frontiers, and am finding myself bored as it feels a bit samey. May a take a break from it, and see how I feel when I go back to it.
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.
@Thrillho thanks for the message, I'm feeling alot better, back at work so that must mean I'm fully recovered 🤣.
In terms of the story missible trophy, I think I am just about to do the mission in which can make it missible if that makes sense so I will be making sure that I don't miss it 🤣
Thanks for the advice on the other stuff, I've heard there is a few cheeses in terms of levelling certain skills to max so if I finish and I haven't achieved a max level I will look in trying them.
Overall the games fantastic and I'm just loving my time in Night City, I do wish that the game came out in this state or came out a year or so later as it would get the credit it now deserves.
Right so are soon finished with Yakuza 0 (which feels very exciting). Are very much thinking about what to play next. Are actually right now leaning towards maybe Sonic Frontiers. That said I also have a few games which I begun to play a while back but have not yet finish so I maybe should prioritize to finish those games first. hm.
@oliverp the only thing I’d suggest from my own perspective, is that after playing a long old game such as Yakuza 0 I’d be inclined to play something completely different. The parameters I use are obviously genre for one… but also things like game length and game difficulty etc. Sonic Frontiers seems to meet those for me 👍
A tip for getting all the NCPD scanners though, if you go to the custom setting for the in game map then you can show all the locations for those through that. I don’t know why they don’t show up on any other setting.
Rough Landing was the one I had most trouble with. Lots of the videos I watched online were rubbish for it but one showed an area with two drones which were much easier to destroy than trying to kill people.
The Quick and the Dead is also worth trying to complete sooner rather than later. I think I had an augment that slowed time when first spotted so quickhacks or shotgun blasts at that point got me through.
Frequent Flyer is a bit of a pain but you just need to find an online map and then be methodical trying to find whatever you’ve missed.
Happy (trophy)hunting!
It may also be worth looking up the “secret ending” too. I think it is a different way of getting The Sun trophy ending but it’s pretty tough going! I tried doing it on my second east run through and wasn’t levelled enough to do it.
@JohnnyShoulder@RogerRoger I've made it to the fourth island. Chaos Island did have me running around lost for a bit and cursing. Not a fan of it's layout, but I pushed through and I'll probably be on the final island by the end of tonight.
@RogerRoger Just watching the credits, I thought there was another Island. Great game, few niggles like Chaos Island but I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. Will keep playing until I have the platinum!
I just rolled credits on Marvel’s Spider-Man. Oh man….what a treat. One of the best games I’ve ever played, and probably the best Marvel branded game I’ve ever experienced.
Gonna go for a palate cleanser before I play Miles Morales. Maybe Midnight Suns…
I've gained alot of the trophies naturally at the minute although I've made a point to get certain ones that seem to cause people a few problems.
One in particular is causing me some problems and its the shoot a grenade thrown by an enemy, but I've seen a few tips online and on YouTube so shouldn't be to bad now.
@Dusk_Actual Spider-man was a fantastic game, I remember how much I enjoyed it. Miles Morales is also very good, just more of the same which isn't a bad thing with a few extra goodies added in, it's more of a DLC than anything but still very much worth playing.
I'd be interested to see how Midnight Sun's is because It's been on my radar for a while but not enough for me to take a leap on it just yet.
Playstation does have alot to offer so glad your enjoying it.
Feeling a little worse for wear today due to overdoing the work Xmas do yesterday I felt I lacked the mental facilities for anything taxing today so was gonna avoid gaming. Decided to boot up the new (free) PS5 upgrade of Gris and so glad I did.
A puzzle platformer that is fairly light on gameplay but blimey this thing is still stunning and the perfect serene experience I needed. Graphics and soundtrack combine to create a wonderfully emotive journey which doesn't really explain itself but leads you to explore with little hand holding. Played a couple of hours and think I'm probably about half way through.
I only bother to write this in the hope that one or two people who may be unaware of its existence read my words and go check out some reviews or vids. It is one of those games that makes me question whether or not it can actually be considered as art, it is just beautiful.

@Dusk_Actual
Yeah Spider-Man was awesome but you should definitely get to MM as well. It's a MUCH shorter, streamlined experience and I really appreciated the fact they had removed the stealth bits.
Looking forward to whenever the sequel turns up.

@MaulTsir Yeah, the grenade one is a pain, particularly as you need to do it with a revolver which was a weapon I wasn’t using regularly.
Again, it’s way easier with an augment to slow time. Just find a group on a scanner mission, whittle it down to one or two and keep as much distance from them.
It feels like no one throws grenades when you’re actively trying to get the trophy and then they’ll be relentless once you’ve got it
Wreckfest for my racing fix and Inscryption for my non-racing fix. The latter took me awhile to get into it and a lot of it is in the luck of the draw, but I like how you can almost break the game with making a super card. Lots of twists which subverts expectations, and anyone that in interested in the game I really do urge going in as blind as possible.
The former is fun racing game with added destruction. Nothing spectacular, but is what I needed at the mo.

@sorteddan I downloaded Miles Morales earlier today, will probably get down with it this next week. I keep trying to get in the mood to play a new game but I’m feeling compelled to unlock all the stuff in SpiderMan and maybe do the dlc. Is the dlc good?
