@Tjuz Oh, that’s useful information about Hades. I own the first game so it’s just a matter of time before I boot it up, and it’s good to know that the sequel actually expands content to make it less repetitive. Since I don’t have a Switch or PC, I can’t play Hades II for a while anyway, so I do look forward to them having patched it up to address any issues regarding the ending. I actually don’t remember the specifics of the divergent opinions online that I read and what the particular complaints were, but I think there has definitely been more positive appraisal instead of negative.

Just started Tomb raider anniversary on PS5 although this post should really be in the “What PS2 game are you playing?”
Game looks and plays great plus the Rewind feature is a big plus with a game like this.
Booted this up earlier today myself, too. It looks substantially better than the PS5 re-release of Legend, that's for sure. Helps that Anniversary was always technically very impressive and polished for a PS2 game (and just out of interest, its PSP port is equally remarkable) but this has got to be one of the best-running re-releases on PSN right now.
I also appreciate its simplified trophy list. The PS3 HD version asked way too much for its platinum!

I don't think I've played anything on my PS5 since sailing released on Old School RuneScape last week but we're just under a week away from the Elden Ring Nightreign DLC so I'll hope to get back on that from now until then to stock up on murk so I can try to roll the necessary relics for Undertaker and Scholar.
Only six more days!

@Bentleyma Glad to hear it clicked! Once you learn what the game expects of you, I think its difficulty is balanced very nicely. Hope it continues to go well. Personally, I think the game mostly gets better as it goes.

Played some more Elden Ring Nightreign today after about a week or so of not playing. God, this game is good. Very excited for the DLC to drop on Thursday.
I'm also going to give Where Winds Meet a go. It's a hefty download but I'm hopeful I can play it later!

@parhko Yeah, totally, I think I know what you mean there, my friend. I am about 23 levels away from being ready for the DLC, but then I still have to go through the mandatory steps to access it and get some cosmetic s*it sorted out for my build. What are you playing rn?

aloha, iam still playing God of War and iam having a great time slaying gods, trolls and anything between. At the moment i am fighting Gunnr, the first valkyrie and i have been slaughtered many many many times. I have a feeling that i will slay her today, working hard on the parries and dodges will make me unhittable since she only need 1 or 2 shots to take me down. STill the game and the atmosphere keep me playing and i will not falter in my voyage to the mountain. Since i am from a former norse country i also appreciate the awesome picture that Santa Monica studio has painted of midgard and the mythology.
I think GOW is one of my all time favourite games at the moment and it has even made me quit the online shenaningans. Well, i have been dabbling with Stellaris too, since they made a ps5 version too. Oohh that makes me want to play some more crusader kings. Well, all in good time. Merry Advent everybody
I'm currently pairing Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered with Once Upon a Katamari and have no regrets. It's such a treat to be finally rolling around in new Katamari levels!

I wasn't sure what the best place to post this was, but this seemed as good as any. I just saw an upload on the official PlayStation channel for the release of a PlayStation port for the game Showgunners. I posted a review about it in the impressions thread a while ago now and I highly recommend checking it out if you're into turn-based tactic games like X-Com. It's a great action romp with incredible presentation, an engaging story and fun characters. It has definitely stuck with me since playing. I'll link the post to my review and the trailer below if anyone is intrigued:
I'm still hooked on Elden Ring Nightreign. So much so I genuinely haven't been playing anything else. The two new nightlords are brilliant boss fights and the two new nightfarers, Scholar and Undertaker, are both so much fun to play as. I think a lot of people are leaning towards Undertaker because she is super cool, in fairness, and her ultimate is incredibly satisfying to use, but Scholar has absolutely insane potential if you play him right.
I'm still having difficulty navigating the new shifting earth but I'm sure that map knowledge will come with time. There are so many different layers to it and it's a little difficult to know where you are in an instant when you look at the map as it's so vertical but some of the new POIs are really interesting and yield some great rewards if you clear them.
It's also my most played game this year according to my PlayStation Wrap-Up. No surprise there really.
@Metonymy 24 levels to go man. Costing me about 100,000 souls (runes) to level up currently! 😂🤣. That Miyazaki sure knows how to pile on the interest when it comes to charging for levels. At that point I will be at the recommended level of 150 for the DLC, but I will still have to go through the steps to access it, in addition to acquiring some cosmetic materials in order to make my Sekiro build look as authentic as possible, plus I need to get the next Bell Bearing to upgrade my weapon to +18 (then it should do about 450 damage) but, yeah, it's basically two more levels of Vigor and then 22 levels of Endurance to make it to level 150. A lot of admin work, basically.
How is/are your current game or games going?
Oh, and what level was your char at roughly when you tackled the DLC?
Couldn't get into Dragons Dogma 2, so saving it for the future. Just started my first Trails game with Trails of the Sky 1st Chapter and been liking it alot, the combat system is interesting as I haven't seen such flexibility in a system like this before
I've been playing Planet Coaster 2 since I finished/gave up on Silksong and it's been a nice change of pace but I really suck at actually designing rollercoasters in the game
And much like Planet Zoo from the same developers, I really struggle with any creativity when it comes to building my park. Some of the designs I see on reddit for coasters, rides, and parks are just incredible but I'm more than happy just plodding along as I am.
@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN I know it’s been a heck of a grind for you but it sounds like you’re almost there, all things considered. I can’t remember exactly what level I was at but I want to say somewhere around 120-130. It felt right if not maybe a little under leveled. Erdtree is difficult!
Still playing through Ghost of Yotei myself. It’s very fun and very beautiful.
@Tjuz Really hope it gels for you! Charge your shots, explore every nook n’ cranny and upgrade inventory space! I’d love to hear your thoughts when you’ve processed them!

@Metonymy Yeah, the grind can take it's toll for sure. With that in mind, I may feel that levelling Vigor to the max and leaving it there may be just what the doctor ordered. I plan on acquiring as many scadutree blessings as soon as possible when I start the DLC, and there is a YouTube method that shows how you can get a number of them, without fighting any bosses, so I am hoping that, plus my upgraded Mimic Tear and max damage/max HP will be enough to carry me through! So, cheers to that, and now, with that new thought in mind - I only have 2 levels to go!
Cheers and Good Luck with Yotei!
Edit: I read elsewhere that the official recommendation is between level 100 and 150, so 120-130 should be fine for most people, hopefully you can have another go at the final boss someday!
@Metonymy So far, so good! I've always been partial to sci-fi, but haven't really experienced that within the survival horror space so far, so I've been enjoying that. I'm not too far into it yet. Probably just around an hour. I've noticed that charging the shots is very important, yes! I wasted about all my shots taking the first enemy down, only to still have to finish it off with melee attacks. I learned my lesson there. Also, embarrassed to say that the very first tutorial ''merged'' enemy I encountered killed me four times before I downed it. It took a bit to get the timing of the the charging right. I'm used to charging mechanics with guns not automatically discharging, so it was a little bit trial and error to figure out how best to aim while charging and when to be precise. I think I've got it down now, since the enemies since have been no problem! I've already prioritised upgrading my charging speed as a result, haha. Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely keep it in mind while playing and get back to you when I have stuff to say!
