HR was really really good. One of the best franchise reboots I can think of tbh

 

Those boss fights were really annoying if you chose to spend your ability points on stealth. Otherwise, I really like the game.

I read something about the Director's Cut (whatever that was... a re-release I guess?!) of HR having fixed the boss fights, so at least they're aware they sucked.

It costs like 10 bucks if you already own the original game. 5 if you have the Missing Link DLC too.

Yeah the boss fights in DX:HR were laughably easy, once you figure out the tricks. Then again same with the JC Denton original, if you learn their killphrases.

I'm thinking about buying the Director's Cut tomorrow actually, especially in light of the latest installment coming soon.

About to do the Shadow of Yharnam boss in bloodborne. (6th)

I just lost 18k+ souls because I barrel-rolled my dumb ass off a catwalk >:|

The DX reboot was excellent, a nice balance between what made the original game great, but bringing in modern lessons learned about game design. Mankind Divided could be pretty swell, I hope.

ahahahaha shit.

i'm up to the third 'level' in demons souls.

no idea, brah. this is my first time playing a Souls game, I haven't even touched magic. I've not read any guides or anything, I'm literally figuring things out as I go.

the most souls i ever lost was around 350k. heartbreaking. I got my dark souls 2 character to level 250 odd i think? at that point you need over 350k souls to even level up. good times.

Most I lost was 3 million souls in the first Dark Souls in Duke's Archive. It was almost entirely fight money from doing pvp duels, and I didn't really need it, but still stung, losing my humanity was the worst part.

Most I've lost in Bloodborne is 100k due to a stupid glitch (My bloodstain disappeared after I reloaded the game), followed by 70k because I was an impatient idiot who didn't check for the shortcut just round the corner, and decided to go for a tricky jump for an item instead.

not being able to play bloodbourne is doing my nut in, but theres no way im buying a ps4 for one game, so i guess il just have to suck it. maybe they will port it to PC in a few years.

Yeah, just like MGS4 and Red Dead Redemption

did red dead really never get a port?

nah, and i don't really understand why because i can't believe the cost of a port will be more than it'll sell even when you include piracy. probably some exclusivity arrangement with Phony and Shitwadsoft.

that's insane.

I've just cracked lvl100 and a few hours after that last post I beat my first Old One, the Lost Sinner, with Lucatiel's help. exploring the Lost Bastille was so much fun. the horror element's really shining through now, both the boss fight and the self-immolating prisoner enemies reminded me very much of Silent Hill.

what was probably a bigger challenge than the boss itself though was having to fight the Pursuer in the courtyard with archers and dogs everywhere. god I hate those archers. I've already kicked this guy's ass 3 times, is he gonna just keep showing up?

edit: I just read on the wikia that in Scholars of the First Sin, the Pursuer shows up a lot more than in the normal version of the game, and in a more dangerous form. jolly good.

Replaying this right now

Finished F.E.A.R. last night, then immediately jumped to the sequel, Project Origin. Six years later it still looks damn good.

Had to fight off that fucked-up reanimated dead principal at the elementary school who was reanimating dead ATC mercs. But nothing in that game tops piloting the Elite Powered Armor. If we were to eventually have hulking military exosuits, stomping around in one in this game feels about as realistic as it gets.

^ I thought that was the only fun moment in an otherwise really dull game. F.E.A.R. 1 was fresh, everything that came after it was bland. imo.

Not a glitch, when you reload the game, your souls are on the first floor of the Lecture Building.

haven't played ftl for a while so i gave it a spin, it turned out to be a 5 hour nightly violent screamfest where i almost destroyed my pc and myself both physically and emotionally.
