It's hosed up beyond belief that Bloodborne and Nioh are not available on my Xbox. I might buy a PS4 pro with my tax return just for those lol.

I liked listening to podcasts and sprinting through chalice dungeons, but i don't know if i'd do it again.

The main chalices are cool to go through once to see everything, even beyond bosses stuff like the isz chalice weird phantom/light stuff was cool to see

They’re mostly pushovers but defiled watchdog is like the third best boss in bloodborne! I didnt really like defiled amygdala or the final blood beast that turned into guardian ape though

I liked the final boss of the chalices well enough but they had this one AOE they only did once but I'm not sure it's possible to escape lol. It's one of those that activates after a period of time but even sprinting full tilt the second it went up I got nowhere near the border, it practically covered the arena and she was to the side even.

It triggers after every 3rd hit on the boss and is unavoidable

I think you can back off after two hits then go back in but I've only ever beaten that boss once.

Oh yeah, I definitely just focussed on parries for that lad so he wasn't too bad but you literally couldn't let him get near you lol.

I only ever saw it once, I guess I was doing that without realising or her teleports were protecting me lol. I was tending to use the whirligig heavy R2 over R1 flurries

I cheesed the katana one with Simon's bow blade because I couldn't find any other way

If I got near they would just spam flame attacks and never use the sword.

None of the games pause due to accommodating for online. They also don't pause even if you play offline I suppose to make it fair otherwise offline players would have a big advantage with being able to use items or switch gear during fights very easily.

You can also just quit the game from the options menu when you want pretty much and when you reload you're exactly where you quit in exactly the same scenario RE what you have or haven't killed. It was ages into FromSoftware games before I knew this lol, I thought you'd go back to a bonfire or the last non boss fog.

If you are in a boss fight it will spawn you outside the boss fog for obvious reasons

Yeah lol. These games have a pause it just takes like 3 button presses and a loading screen.

The switch version of DS remastered has a soft pause where if you are playing offline and hit the power button or home button it will pause the game.,

Sekiro pauses when you pause because they decided multiplayer is dumb for one game before changing their mind back

I can't imagine how PvP would work in Sekiro considering the game isn't really about attacking

It would be awful in Sekiro lol. They probably should have had a separate pause to your inventory though so you can’t use whatever you want from there midfight
