Have you tried it lately? When the DLC dropped, Fromsoft patched in letting you use the freaky little horse during the fight. Makes it much easier.

I haven't tried the last boss since the patch, but using Torrent should help. I've platinumed every FROM game since the original Demon's Souls, and I hate that they continue to do things like that boss-by the time you're close enough to hit it, it's so large that you can't see what it's doing or anything else. This coupled with the fact that you spent the other half of the time chasing it down if you were a melee build, but the horse should fix that.

This trailer is years old at this point. It also contains no information. But it also perfectly conveys the vibe of the first game and why I loved it.

I bought that game and still havent played it through, i should pick it up again. Very cool concept.

I loved it. I think people were expecting New Vegas in space so it got panned upon release. After playing New Vegas for the first time...you can tell the games share similar DNA.

I found the dialogue funny. Loved the story. Interesting characters I genuinely cared about. Not the most complex RPG elements or gameplay, but it was still very fun.

I need to get back to that one.

I really recommend getting to the end of it. Still a game I think about all the time. Unique experience.

I've been going through the Star Wars: Fallen Order games. I'm lovin em. Fromsoft style combat, but with fun stories and likable characters. The second game has a bit of a Bloodborne thing going for it too:

I guess you can also rp as Amos from The Expanse if you want :shrug:

I never got round to finishing disco either. And the newer Star wars fallen order isn't steam deck playable otherwise I'd have been on that and I don't like Star wars.. the first one was decent except for the back track to ship after each level....

But I'm having an absolute blast on cyberpunk don't generally like open world games but really enjoying the character building and the world as a whole. It's so good playing high I'm currently in some tunnels or something doing a mission where I have too well errrrrrrrrr..... Can't remember but it's really good...

Yeah... Jedi Survivor kinda runs like shit on more powerful hardware too. They did add a fast travel feature though! Hopefully they continue optimizing or new frame gen tech comes out and you can try it.

It's funny you mention Cyberpunk. I'm getting bummed about coming to the end of the Jedi games and thought, "damn, when was the last time I played something with fun lore, engaging characters, AND fun combat?" and immediately thought of Cyberpunk.

I'm gaming Wukong: Black Myth

It looks great! I'll pick it up when it goes on sale.

I'm a PC gamer. What do you guys like to use for a controller?

I know this is haram. But I use a controller 90% of the time:(. I use a mouse all day for work. I know controller is inferior for aiming, but I'm playing single player games so it isn't the end of the world.

I am loving myself some Black Myth Wukong as well. Fantastic game.
My journey into this type of genre, and while I know Wukong isn't technically a souls-like, went

Another Crab's Treasure (highly fucking recommended if you want a wacky take on a souls game with an incredible storyline)
200+ hours into Elden Ring diving in with a friend
Sekiro (didn't finish as I was playing w/ a friend who quit for wukong)
Dark Souls 3 (Didn't finish as I moved on to Wukong)
Black Myth Wukong.

Jumped into these games after being primarily an FPS enjoyer.

My main competitive online game of choice for the last 3000+ hours has been Dead By Daylight. Nothing else quite like it.
Hard to recommend because it's a lot to learn and get into, but man has it had me "hooked".

Currently playing Once Human as well. A free survival game with 0 pay to win aspects.
It's buggy, has its issues, but it's really fun. Over 300 hours so far on something entirely free is pretty solid.

Every night of my life consists of weed, games, and online friends.
Recently had a gaming friend from Canada drive down all the way to Florida to meet me for my birthday. Great experience. Been gaming with him since 2019, and a year in we both swapped to PC and have been loving it since. I have obviously convinced that Canadian that vaping is superior, and he has an LSV (2 have broken on him), and a V3 Pro.

Lately I've been revisiting old horror themed games when I can tear myself away from the movies. Played my old Splatterhouse card on the Analogue Duo and completed the game; it was probably the fastest I ever beat this one. After that I put on the Japanese version to see the differences. The Japanese version is a lot nicer because the main character wears a mask that resembles Jason's hockey mask from Friday the 13th Part 3(-D) and beyond and also the background tiles and sprites aren't censored (read: deleted) so certain levels look a lot less sparse. It also seemed harder but I really couldn't tell if that was just me, the game, or if the controls were even less refined than in the US version.

Another I did was Akumajō Dracula X: Chi no Rondo (better known as "Castlevania: Rondo of Blood"), also on the Duo, but I did a bootleg, fan-translated version. It's such an impressive Castlevania game as far as graphics and sound go, even today. It kind of ends there for me though as I've always found this game incredibly frustrating and it also feels like I get worse and worse at it every time I play. No one ever complains about this game but the controls feel kinda crappy at times, as in almost every time I get killed. Maybe someday I will beat this but I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't; farthest I ever got was to the boss Shaft but I've never beaten him.

Rondo of Blood got me wanting to try the original NES Castlevania again so that was next. Another frustrating game but not nearly as frustrating as Rondo to me. Got about as far as I always get but the Castlevania collection for Switch included the Japanese version so I gave that a try after and found it includes an option for "Easy" that made it so I could beat the game (lol)! Never thought I'd see the end of this one, even with save states in an emulator the game was kicking my ass in the normal US mode. Apparently the Japanese version of this has extra sound channels but I really didn't notice any difference there, I was focusing on "Is this 'easy mode' gonna not let me play all the levels???" anyway.

Gotta try and get some Devil Crash/Devil's Crush in before the end of the month now!

Tried the new Dragon Age on a lark. Played the last one a few years ago and found it incredibly mid, especially compared to the Mass Effect series.

Not too far along yet but...it's really good? Massive improvement over the last one. I bought it because the one reviewer I follow said it has fun combat. It does. The performance is fantastic for a new release. The story/characters are lighthearted D&D themed fun.

Yet everything I'm seeing online is that the game is "trash". Wtf? Gamers are the biggest fucking crybabies.

Still enjoying the hell out of Veilguard (GOTY for me personally:shrug: )

But I wanted something more mindless to play when I'm in dumb Zoom meetings. Someone here recommended Balatro in the past. Goddamn. It's like digital crack cocaine.

I'm currently playing Stray. It's a beautiful game with a really fun story and the humor of it reminds me of the Portal games.
