@Jimmer-jammer I think it's the Thief's Ring, and I'm not there yet actually, but yeah I have it, it helps you avoid enemy detection I believe. Thanks man!

@TheBrandedSwordsman@Jimmer-jammer Ah yes, the flying manta rays. I agree completely — it’s was horribly frustrating without the Thief’s Ring but when I tried it while wearing the ring it was quite reasonable.
And yes, now that you mention, there’s some similarities with the Dragon God and the Scarecrow fight in Arkham Asylum. I hadn’t thought of it before. I doubt that it inspired Rocksteady since there’s other puzzle type boss fights out there but perhaps From and Rocksteady each drew from a common inspiration.

Still playing through DeS, just beat Tower Knight and also got the One Shall Fall trophy by using a YouTube strategy. It was fairly easy to take him down with the Crescent Falchion+1 ,as I have put a lot of xp into magic and he is weak to that.

I just finished Yakuza 3, then scrolling through my library saw LAD with the plus icon and a lock? I remember it was in the essential tier, so why is it locked? I tried restoring licences, same thing.
Maybe I didn't claim it or was it in extra too?
@Reveluv I cancelled my plus but Like a Dragon is in the January sale for £13 so I'll be grabbing that and RE4 remake for £23 before the end of this month.
Can't remember if there was a specific recommendations thread. But after playing Baldur's Gate 3 for what must be months, I'm actually kind of thinking of sticking with more classic fantasy for my next major game too and keeping cyberpunk going as a more casual side game
Probably looking for more of an action open world style rather than a tactical crpg this time. Just something that looks nice, has stuff to explore and is good enough to entertain. So far all I can think of is Hogwarts Legacy that's come out relatively recently so I might grab that. Anything else I'm missing, or should I just go for HL?

Having played quite a few hours of HL I wouldn't recommend it unless you are the patient type for me there is way too much time spent running from place to place it really spoilt the game for me.
@Jimmer-jammer@colonelkilgore@Th3solution What's up boys? I just freed Yuria from the tower, defeated Penetrator with Biorr (first try again) and obtained the Brothers-In-Arms trophy for doing that obviously and obtained Curse Weapon by trading Penetrator's Soul with the Witch for it, tried it out in 4-1 ,very powerful stuff. Probably not necessary but I intend to upgrade my DBS to plus three for a bit of extra power, but, yeah, after all this time my build is finally more or less complete! I am thinking I will probably need those extra two levels for the final boss, but not really outside of that. I was chuffed with myself as it has obviously been a lot of ("pleasant" haha) work.

@Max_Headroom walk don't run 😆 it is school, after all haha
I'm patient if the world is immersive enough so not really a problem.
These things remind me of ubisoft though, my favourite 'run to a quest for absolutely no reason out of the blue' moment was when you finally meet your mother after years in AC Odyssey, an emotional scene plays, and then she just pegs it off to a quest marker right after and you have to chase her to start the next quest 🤣🤣

@Jimmer-jammer Thanks man! Yeah, I saw on YouTube that if you freed Biorr from his cell while you are going for Curse Weapon he can assist you later in the boss fight, you don't have to summon him or anything! I just initiated the battle and he was immediately in there, drawing aggro for me, it would have been a lot harder for me if he hadn't been there.
I am glad you are socializing and mixing with your compatriots over the holidays, not so good about the never ending house cleaning and grossly miscalculated amount of wrapping though haha. Glad you got to play Rabbids with the kids.
Do you have any experience with the Nioh games? My backlog order at the moment, for the impending future is: DeS, Lotf & then Nioh, get round to the, allegedly much easier, sequel later. You can do a 'Guts' (Berserk manga) build in the first one apparently.

@TheBrandedSwordsman Great job! It’s so satisfying to see a build come together. It’s where these games come to life.
Everything is okay for me, nothing new to report. But I’ll hopefully have some updates in the week to come. I’ll have a couple days off for the holidays. I’m just not sure how busy I’ll be.

@TheBrandedSwordsman The Nioh games are awesome... arguably the 'best' combat model in any game I've played, probably ever. They use a really unique 'stance' system in which you have 3 x separate movesets per/weapon, leaning into low-stance (quick/weak) mid-stance (balanced) and high-stance (heavy but slower).
Nioh 2 is definitely the better game, but I'd highly recommend playing through the first Nioh beforehand - just to get used to the overwhelming set of mechanics and gameplay nuances to learn. Nioh 2 really doubles-down on the mechanics and adds a ton of new stuff..... I couldn't click with Nioh2 for this reason, until I went back and played through Nioh 1!
I would say this though - the Nioh series often gets lumped into the Soulsbourne category, mainly due to its difficulty and also it has some Souls-y mechanics (losing currency upon death, enemies respawn at rest spots etc) But IMO, Nioh 1 and 2 play more like ARPGs, with an overwhelming amount of loot!
I'd probably recommend Lies of P over Nioh 1/2 if you're looking for a Souls fix
@TheBrandedSwordsman as others have said, the Nioh games are excellent. I played the first one back about 5 years ago and just started the sequel a couple of months ago (I’m about half way through). I’d actually rate the sequel as one of the more difficult souls-likes tbh… as I was discussing with @CaptD in another thread the other day, some of the boss fights are absolutely brutal.
@colonelkilgore Is there a way to become op in Nioh 2? If so, please share!

@TheBrandedSwordsman I’m sure there is but I haven’t looked into it tbh. I’ve just gone in blind and selected the skills that I like the sound of. I did find that I beat the last one or two bosses that I came up against with a lot more ease than the previous ones, so I’m guessing the skill upgrades I’ve chosen are helping.
Having said that, I’d completely forgotten about sloth until @Jimmer-jammer brought it up earlier, so I might have a look at introducing that into my skill set moving forwards.
@colonelkilgore Yeah @Jimmer-jammer did mention that, I will be interested in using that for my first playthrough of Nioh 1 , but yeah. I reckon that it may be unavailable in the second game as he only mentioned with regard to the first game, unless you know otherwise. On a related subject, I am eagerly anticipating Rise of the Ronin next March.

@Jimmer-jammer The second game sounds like it will be a significantly more enjoyable playthrough then, I will try to unlock that talisman asap, as per your recommendation.
