@Th3solution I've only had two so-called 'jump-scare' moments so far, one when a zombie almost ambushed me from an un-boarded up window, and another time when a licker ambushed me and took a chunk off my health, but apart from that it hasn't really been frigthening.
Good luck with DS2 when you get back to it, and especially with the ,typically for FromSoft, much harder DLC.
Yeah REmakes don’t have many Jumpscares, if at all. I think REmake3 only had one from my memory, at least most of them were sorta self imposed (I have this somewhat Bizarre phobia where I do not like being chased even in a virtual setting, called dykotophobia if I remember the spelling), I still didn’t find the games super scary and you kinda treat them like normal action shooting games after a while. Have fun.
@Falcon94 Congrats on your bargain. I am keen to play that game as well, it's on my list in PS4 Backloggery and Most Wanted Thread. Feel free to keep me posted on your adventures in the game whilst obviously avoiding any spoilers if poss.
I have been playing through Resident Evil 2 REmake some more, close to the halfway mark, I feel. Just tango'ed w/ some zombie dogs, they took a decent chunk out of my health unfortunately, but fortunately I had a mixed herb to cope w/ that. Moving onto the Clockower next. Oh yeah and killing one of the dogs earned me a random trophy, it was behind a grate if that helps anyone trying for the plat.

I’ve gone back to Nioh 2, I didn’t beat it so I just started again. Been struggling to get into anything on the PS5 recently, mostly been replaying games I’ve beaten for the platinum like old Assassin’s Creed or Kingdom Hearts games. Somehow burnt out on Lost Judgment in the literal final chapter too so I do need to finish that. Nioh’s been pretty good though, I still don’t really find myself as engaged as I was with the first one, but the progression systems are good and the missions are well designed. Been maining high axe which is working out pretty well!
@Jimmer-jammer That's great, that you're enjoying it so much. It's certainly on my Wishlist of games to buy/play at some point further down the line. I am currently taking a break from RE2 REmake at the moment as I was starting to feel too much like an action hero, if that makes sense - that's the thing about games, you have to balance all this over-masculinised stuff with some more emotive hobbies like jazz guitar or reading classics of literature if your consider yourself a statistically more-evolved male, at least that's how I feel about it, as someone who doesn't approve to strongly of the violent/misogynystic lyrics of certain hip hop artists I'm sure you can relate? I know you have your arts projects anyway.
Anyway, I'm sure when I dive back in my DLC-purchased Rocket Launcher and infinite ammo submachine gun will make short work of William Birkin's latter phases in addition Mr. X/Tyrant, I am nearing the Clocktower phase of the game now so at least halfway roughly.
Anyway, just to conclude, I am not to say that we as male gamers should neglect our masculine sides just balance them out with more traditionally perceived-to-be feminine interests such as the arts, literature, and culture. Thoughts?

@Jimmer-jammer I agree wholeheartedly with your statement. If it wasn’t for Dragon’s Dogma 2, PoP The Lost Crown would be my GOTY. I played it exclusively on my Portal and popped the platinum trophy for it. I’m excited for the DLC expansions.
I just purchased Still Wakes The Deep. I’ll probably dive into that this weekend. In the meantime, I’m still playing Ys VIII on the Vita. I’m hoping to have that game, and the platinum, wrapped up within the next couple of weeks.
I decided to boot up Life is Strange: True Colors for a little change of pace. So far, so good. Feels familiar like the other games in the series, but the new characters so far seems great. It’s a little slow to get going in the opening chapter, but I assume it will pick up.

@Malaise I’m almost done with chapter 2 and indeed the story has picked up after the way chapter 1 finished. I’m invested now into what’s going to happen, although I think I see where this is going.
And I hear you — the Life is Strange series does seem to hit some kind of unique emotional note with me, even though the characters tend to be completely divergent from my real life sphere of experience. 😅 I’m not really into indie music for the most part, but it really works for these games. Gives them a special chill vibe that isn’t present anywhere else in gaming, that I know of.
I’m looking forward to Double Exposure, indeed, I haven’t ever been a day 1 consumer of the series so I don’t think I’ll play it at launch though. I typically have waited for a sale for these games. It will be interesting to see what they do with Max.
As an aside, these games are perfect for the Portal, for anyone looking for options to play on the device.

I'm enjoying Jedi Survivor more and more, although the saving mechanics can be a bit frustrating. I entered a certain area yesterday (no spoilers), killed two bosses and a legendary enemy there but I wasn't prepered it's going to take so long. There was no meditation point in sight and I had to quit the game with the last save 40 minutes earlier. Now I'll probably have to do all those things again. Or maybe boss and legendary enemy kills are permanent and if I go there again, they will be dead?
I am gearing up to tackle RE2 REmake again tomorrow, hopefully, just have to go back for an item I missed and take on some more zombie dogs, unfortunately, and then make it through the next chunk, and save.

I played RE2 REmake again, took on the three zombie dogs using Dark Souls style tactics of luring them to me, one by one, and only took minor damage as a result. Then got the key item that was guarded by a "sleeping" zombie man who woke up when I took the item for a good ol' fashioned jump scare. Mentioning @Jimmer-jammer and @Th3solution as you were interested in my progress and I'm interested in how your games are going atm?

@BlAcK_SwOrDsMaN I’ve now entered the Shaded Woods in DS2, which has been… interesting. The only thing worse than a foggy area you can’t seen anything in is a foggy area with invisible enemies 😅. Well, I guess foggy area with invisible enemies, and curse traps and poison swamps would be worse 🤔 No doubt that’s what’s coming up next. 😂

Been playing through RE2 REmake again this morning, doing well, I feel, Things were starting to get a bit hairy at one point, though, so I had to break out my infinite-ammo Rocket Launcher that I got ,as I've said before, as part of my DLC-purchase to deal with some close-proximity-related zombies. Made quick work of them. Onto the next.

Played a bit more of RE2 REmake this morning, just got up to the part where you're about to encounter Mr. X for the first time, I have never saved in a 'safe room' as fast as that in my life!
