"Play PS5 games on it"

Has there ever been a successful designer as modest as Miyazaki? Culture, translation etc plays a part, I know. But he just comes across as the most humble and unassuming of guys given his astonishing successes. 

Yeah they just want to make the best games they can. And they smash it Every. Single. Time.

I have a lot of time for the whackyness* of Kojima and Yoko Taro though




*depictions of ladies in their work excluded.

It's going to be like Robin Williams trying to be Peter Pan in Hook.

I've seen a great tip online yesterday, you can actually pause the game after all. From the equipment menu (or any other submenu) go to "help" -> "menu explanation" and boom gameplay is paused.

I started this again. Going to take it slowly till June. I had mixed feelings on the game first time round, (didn’t finish it, got stuck at Maliketh) but I couldn’t help but feel a bit giddy starting it up again. Just something really satisfying about the souls formula.

Available for jolly cooperation on PS5. You can even pick the build

Thanks, but I’m on Xbox

I threw myself at the duo for nearly an hour yesterday, didn’t manage to beat them but another hour and I reckon I’ll do it. Or I’ll go off somewhere else for a bit to level up. I accessed the Consecrated Snowfield but never got through it so maybe there’s a different thing I can bang my head against there.

This is making me wonder where my character is now. I think I was going for a boss in llendell, if I've even spelt that correctly.

Generally no idea though. I might be at that bird you can shoot with an arrow for cheap souls in wherever that place is too.

Definitely done some bosses and remember killing the snow mountain giant bloke. After that though, basically fuck knows.

What's that manor where you get assassins jobs too? I might have done that or some of it.

What's the game called again?

Farum Azula was a hard difficulty jump. Forced me to seek out better talismans, increase my vigour and hunt out upgrade materials for weapons and ashes. I die a little more slowly now.

I read some Reddit thread about From having a Sekiro-type levelling system. I fear change.

Also cribbed from PC Gamer, but apparently the developers of an Italian souls-like called Enotria were a bit perturbed when they discovered they were launching on the dame day as Shadow of the Erd Tree.

Cue a substantial delay.

I still fear change.

I’m realising there’s quite a bit of this game I’ve just… missed, and not done. Here’s how it went:

- I’m finally getting near the end and some of these bosses are tough , maybe it will help if I upgrade my Mimic Tear more than +4
- I need a Ghost Glovewort 5 and I can’t buy one from the finger maidens? Where do I get the bell bearing for that?
- It’s in Nokstella Eternal City? Guess I’ll hop on over there
- (checks map) …or not

So that’s apparently a whole area I just skipped. I’ve also missed loads of the summonable NPC ashes (Black Knife Tiche who’s really good for a late game dragon boss apparently? No idea) and talismans and weapons and who knows what else.

Currently torn between powering to the end, or going back and mopping up so I’ve still got a pre NG+ save ready for the DLC.

Better safe than sorry innit If nothing else staying in NG will make it easier to access the DLC if the access point is lategame as it typically is (and if it is actually as they've implied...)

hedben without going into too much detail if you haven't been to Nokstella at all you've definitely missed quite a bit... Including a decently big part of a certain questline
