What are you playing right now?

If youre really into the Souls like games I would definitely suggest Stellar Blade at some point. While gooners love it because of the s it's actually got a pretty engaging story and it's fairly challenging. I believe it has like 3 different endings also

Black Myth Wukong is another id recommend in the genre. Though I haven't beaten that yet because I got stuck on a really annoying boss fight but I'll get back to it eventually

I remember greatly enjoying DS3 and one of the only souls like games I ever played to completion. I remember having a tough go of it against Pontiff Sulyvahn but don't remember anyone else pissing me off as much

pontiff was one of the best fights in the game tbh (so far. i havent fought final boss or any DLC guys left)

off top of my head, the best fights in the game so far were Champion Gundyr, Dragonslayer Armor (minus second phase off screen magic dudes), Dancer of Boreal Valley, Pontiff Sulyvhan, Nameless King and Abyss Watchers. i would put Prince Lothric fight right after those.

Pontiff feels great because its another good implementation of a duel weilding enemy. Fume Knight was such an incredible fight in DS2 because of the duel weild, but he was a little more fun because one was just a straightsword with quick attacks and the other was the big bonk ultra greatsword with slower, more deliberate attacks. So it felt like two unique movesets, whereas Pontiff was just two fast swords. but still great. and the second phase of pontiff when he summons the spectral version of himself was such a great mechanic, since it telegraphed what he was about to do. they always duplicated attacks about a second apart, so you dodge the first one, and you know exactly how to position yourself to dodge and punish the main one. just a very cool and unique mechanic

gank fights can feel really bad, but if done right like 2nd phase of pontiff, just adds to the experience

i really wish dark souls series had a boss rush mode like sekiro where you can just replay bosses. only one that had something like this was DS2 where lighting a bonfire ascentic brings back the boss of the area but at NG+ level

i thought Jedi: Fallen Order was a very cool souls-like and i have Survivor i'll get around to eventually. also Lies of P seems like a must-play.

i still have Elden Ring in my backlog as well, so im good on those for a while

ing a

had a break in. assholes barely took but managed to snag my ps5 with dark souls 3 disc inside. they didnt grab my controllers or bin of games 10 feet away

i didnt have ps plus so i dont think any of my saved data will be recoverable

i was about to finish the first DLC and fight freida too

all they grabbed was my wallet and ps5. luckily i barely keep much cash on me, just the nuisance of having to cancel all cards etc

Look at it this way: the boy wasnt ready for Sigrun anyways. Also too bad they don't sell fake XBox cases for peoples' PS5s as a security measure.

Omg! SR, idk if you own a gun or not, don't answer, but get one if not and get a shotgun especially for the house. No need to aim, just shoot!

Ugh one time on my day off I had a guy knock on my door and I didn't answer because I figured it was Spectrum or AT&T trying to get me to change my internet or some bull like that then two minutes later I hear someone try to kick in my front door when I was in the other room. Grabbed my loaded 45 and was about to kill a mother er but he didn't manage to get it open and ran like off my property before I could see who it was. Called the police to report it, they didn't even send anyone to the block, and the piece of broke into my friend's house across the street and a couple of doors down an hour later. He at least got his back thankfully then he ed the guy up a couple weeks later.

Scary stuff. Pretty brazen for someone to break in. Thieves suck! Glad you and SR, and family, weren't harmed.

not armed tbh. dont like the idea of having that in the same house as little kids. or i gotta keep it locked in a safe which somewhat defeats the purpose of having something instantly available if i wake up and hear already going down in the house.

im also deeply confused about how some of these games work

my ps5 got stolen with the Dark Souls 3 disc inside. I had the Fire Fades edition which includes the DLC. i still had to go to the PS Store and select and download the DLC (no charge of course) at the time.

my ps5 just got in today, and i had already ordered another copy of Dark Souls 3 (i like disc versions, call me old fasioned), which is set to arrive tomorrow. when i was installing my ps5, i logged into my account, went to my game library (i do have a few digital games). within the library included the Dark Souls 3 DLCs, which i downloaded. figured may as well do it now, i will have to download/install the DLCs at some point anyway.

but then when the download finished, i was literally able to boot up Dark Souls 3 and start playing. and i figured ok maybe its just the menu then ill get locked because it cant detect the license or something, but no... i went through the tutorial area, cleared Iudex Gundyr, got to firelink shrine, etc. and i dont even have the copy of the game.

i cant imagine this is the intended function, or else anybody could buy the Fire Fades disc, download the DLC which is free with that disc installed, then just sell/return the disc, and continue to be able to play because you have already downloaded the DLC? but right now thats kinda how its working for me.

Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth has this Animal Crossing like minigame where you're trying to build a new red light district and save a dying island resort that's crazy addicting. Which is wild because it also has a Pokemon Snap clone minigame that's a lot of fun where you're taking pictures of perverts in the street instead of Pokemon and then it was a Pokemon Stadium clone minigame too that's worth putting a few hours into. The Yakuza / Like a Dragon / 龍が如く series has to have the best sidequests of any series I have ever played. Really need to get the Pirate Yakuza game with Majima.
