I love exploration much more than bossfights so I'm fine with few or easy bosses but I beating a hard boss after many tens of tries (I suck) feels phenomenal so it's cool either way

Shameful. The path of adversity is the crucible that forges gamers. Reflect on your words and deeds.

Also did you play order of ecclesia yet?

drat, called out! thanks for the reminder. I've almost finished the entire GBA collection (meaning I have to sit down and finish Vampire's Kiss...almost got stage 6), so I know what's next

It and portrait of ruin are way more compartmentalized than the sorrow games, but just as good. OoE is the hardest one by far, you’ll have fun with it

I've played OoE before! I just never beat it because I didn't get the trick for Dracula and he kept hitting me (have been spoiled by now). I found the bosses honestly kinda tedious but I wanted to replay it for a while to get a fresh perspective. And then maybe get secrets I missed, and do Albus mode.

I think I've beaten Portrait like three times, it's fun as hell!!!

Sorry for presuming you’re a castlevania noob. OoE has the best vertical boss in history IMO

it's cool, and we're cool

anyway I used the Return to Drangleic event as motivation to finally finish my all achievements run of DS2. It's mostly an excuse to check out NG+ (and ++) in Scholar because I have done it for vanilla before. I logged into my character that was already a good ways into NG+ to find out where I had to pick up.

Last bonfire: Shrine of Amana (first one)

oh

anyway I did that after some deaths I'm not too proud to admit and am now before Velstadt. I love the Crypt in this game so much, it's not big but it has a lot going on.

Let me take you for a ride.
Been playing the Demon's Souls remake, been like 5 years since I played the OG, but it still holds up so well, just drawing you in. Level design is still some of the best in the series, plus the open nature of the archestones, while guiding you subtly when you reach an impase to try another world is so great. Teaches you to be flexible in your tactics.. Usually always went for the easy Dragon Sword playthrough, but sticking to a build is definitely more engaging, never gone Theif and sticking to dex.

Only doing the shura ending for the second time. Trying to get the isshin fight down since the last time I barely scraped through and called it good. What a great boss. Emma’s no slouch either, trickier than t he final genichiro with that grab thrown in. Gotta watch her hands

Really enjoying the shinibi tools on another file I’m working through. they’re deceptive in their effectiveness. It’s not like a castlevania subweapon, they have specific uses where they really gently caress up specific dudes and it’s fun to find out which is for which situation. Probably the soulsiest aspect of the game. Also it’s a perfect and amazing video game and I’m glad I’m alive to play it.

someone discovered a major vulnerability that persisted across DS, DS2, and DS3 that allowed invaders to execute code on the the host's PC. the guy who discovered it apparently tried reaching out to FROM for a few days and didn't get anywhere, so he used it to crash some streamer's game and start reading some lovely copypasta over text-to-speech.

people did some digging and based on files from the elden ring network test, it appeared that it too would have the same problem on launch.

it looks like enough people complained about it for FROM to take action though.
