@JohnnyShoulder Part of what I love about ER, everyone seems to have different boss 'sticking points'...
I remember approaching Malenia, being incredibly fearful due to the divisive online discourse... but had her down in maybe 3-4 goes. Fire Giant however, and Elden Beast also, had me stuck for days!
@CJD87 Yeah Elden Beast I struggled with and had to respec to get me some more holy damage and spells. Malenia I didn't find too bad, a dozen or so tries. Once I found out that she was weak to Rivers of Blood's special, she was soon gone. Loved the fight, probably one of my faves in the game.

I got Maliketh down after a few attempts this morning. It was practically solo-melee as my summon died early during the 2nd phase. I really don't find FromSoft games as challenging as I did before after my time with Rise of the Ronin. I really do think it is a case of transferable skills. Rise of the Ronin is the game that made me 'git gud' at FromSoft games.

@Ravix@LN78@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN I don't recall struggling too much with that one either. I seem to remember having some kind of poison weapon which came in handy.

So my copy of SB arrived the other day and I finally popped it in a few days ago to give it a little try before returning to Baldur's Gate III.
It looks fantastic even on a standard PS5 and playing on the Balanced mode with no VRR I haven't really noticed any frame drops myself (Though I will say I only notice when frames get really low).
And the music. Good GRIEF the music. It is SO flipping good.
Here's two very early tracks
The English dub however is... Certainly a choice. I know this is Shift Up's first proper game but the ENG voice acting in their Gatcha game Nikke: Goddess Of Victory has been pretty solid -anime as hell but solid- from what I've seen/heard so I don't know how they fumbled the ball so hard here especially with the Sony help on the funding.
The combat is pretty good too. Parrying seems a big part of your defensive toolset which I'm not very good at but it still plays rather nice regardless.
Looking forward to playing more after I'm done with BGIII sometime next year!
There is a dedicated thread to go into more detail in which I'm sure is spoiler free (or spoiler tagged at the least) so you won't get spoiled.
If you end up liking it by the time you're done then you'll certainly have a lot more Atlus games to catch up on with Persona 3~5, SMT 3 and SMT V Vengeance and all sorts!
I’m not really playing anything on the PS5 at the moment. I decided to jump on my Xbox when Stalker 2 came out and then got preoccupied with some other Game Pass games. I also gifted my best friend—who only owns an Xbox—Space Marine 2 because I was in a cooperative mood, and he doesn’t buy games really at all, so we are going to be diving into that over Thanksgiving break.
Went back to Demon’s Souls. Binned it a couple years back after just getting a bit stuck so I’ve started again. Playing a Temple Knight with laughably high equipment load which is working better than the normal fast roll giant sword builds I go for in Souls games. Quite like the Halberd but will need an upgrade soon as I’m not convinced I can kill Tower Knight with it. Cleared out 4-1 of goodies too as it’s not that hard to move about in and the fence jump still works. Regenerator Ring and Adjudicator’s Shield is working nicely together.
@nessisonett Hope you it sticks with you more this time. The mission structure is a bit wierd sometimes and all over the place. Took me awhile to figure it out lol, and ended just following a game progress guide. There are some proper good sections with 3-1 probs being my fave as it felt so atmospheric. I know some people hated it though as it was quite easy to get lost. Also some of the most evil runs to bosses in the series.
@JohnnyShoulder Yeah, I’m onto 3-1 now after slaughtering Tower Knight with barely any trouble and beating Armor Spider damageless somehow. I definitely feel like there’s probably a correct order but I’ve been dipping into a few different levels just for the loot. It’s been nice having another Souls game to play, it’s the only one I haven’t beaten of the main series (not counting Sekiro or Erdtree).
Pied 3-1 in Demon’s Souls last night, was doing my head in. Went to 5-1 which had a bit of an annoying layout (those giant ones with the clubs are a ballache) but the boss was pisspoor, just Oogie Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas with practically zero health and truly dreadful attacks that missed me completely. Oogie Boogie in the GBA game is literally like 20 times harder than that boss. Grabbed the Mirdan Hammer in 5-2 which means my build is shaping up, grinded a bit until I got a Blessed Mirdan Hammer +2 which is very handy now, also F*CK 5-2, up there with Blighttown for just being bloody annoying but not quite Shrine of Amana level. Got the shortcut at least for when I decide to do the boss.
Went back to 4-1 which I’d already cleared of loot and oh look yet another terrible boss, whack thing while avoiding incredibly telegraphed attacks then hit weak point (Tower Knight but easier). I assume the open nature means that the later bosses in each area are much better, would make sense.
Went to 4-2, killed the grim reaper thing second attempt and got the obligatory boot into a pit by Patches but at least I found the miracle guy so could finally grab Regeneration to fully embrace the regen build, I basically just don’t need to smoke weed/eat grass anymore which is fun. Not sure if I should just go back to 3-1 before trying 2-2. Probably a good idea but the mindflayers are an irritation.
Currently playing Metro Exodus Gold Edition, the game is different than the previous 2 Metro games in terms of, More stealth and more open areas along with repercussion's for killing certain people
I just finished Space Marine 2. What a great game! I’m excited to play cooperatively when my best friend has the time. In the meantime, I properly started Stalker 2, and so far the game is awesome. The most recent patches have helped tremendously. The level of immersion this game has is in a league of its own. I’m playing more reserved, being patient, and really planning my excursions. And I’m only 3-hours in. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me.
