My biggest tip is don't give up. It's sooooo good and in my opinion keeps getting better. Also make sure you have a look at some online tips and guides for areas. As there is so much hidden stuff and weapons.

I got the GOTY version and the dlc is equal and in some cases better than the main game.

Also the two werewolves on the bridge. Kill the giant and the crows. Run along kill a guy by himself.

Now get the werewolves to follow you down to where the guy was. The stairway behind him. Kill the guys in there and use an extended weapon to batter the werewolves as they can't get in but will stay at the door and get slapped silly by you.

I really don't want to play anything else right now. Not had so much pure enjoyment in a game since MGS5.


Good man, you played DS3?



I'm going to get the GOTY edition when it's out. I was put off from the DS stuff due to the infamous difficulty but the experience of bloodborne has got me into the genre and I can't wait to see how DS3 compares to Bloodborne.


Ds3 takes the best of bloodborne and adapts it to their game. Very similar. So if you like bb you'll love ds3.. bb was my game of 2015. And ds3 was goty 2016

Fabian Delph is a banana split.

Thanks for the advice. Did the werewolves on the bridge using this approach! Still can't beat Father Gascoigne. I did manage to beat the Celric Beast and was super excited to see some more of Yharnam only to be rewarded with a dead end!

It looks like it's Gascoigne next then... I'll take you advice and watch a few guides first but I'm a little frustrated that the game seems to offer no clear tells to defeat the bosses. It seems like there is a knack but they're quite difficult to find on your own. It's almost as if the designers know they've made a tricky game and, rather than building-in subtle tells or building-up a player's skill gradually, they just dumb difficulty spikes and seemingly impossible bosses and say, 'Hey - there's the Internet out there - go look for guides if you want a chance to beat our game! No way we're going to explain our systems to you.'

I like the game and - as I said - I can see why people love it - it's just quite hard going! I look to Ninja Gaiden as a game that was hard but well designed and mastering was gradual and could be done without resorting to how to videos.

Crystalis on NES. A decent action RPG thus far however it is very unforgiving, enemies drain your health in no time flat. Interesting side note, it's from SNK who weren't exactly known for making RPGs.

Alien Isolation. Had this for months but pretty much have to force myself to play it.

3 missions in, not sure this is how I want to spend my time. Also, it's 18 missions long?! Jesus

Have somehow also got back into Destiny, climbing to light level 400.

Always wanted to play this, looks so damn charming. From the way you describe its difficulty though I may be somewhat liberal with save state use <_<

It is too long but I would suggest sticking with it a bit longer, the high points (of which there are many) are incredible. Cowering under tables while the xenomorph brushes right past you :dread:

Painkiller
I'm sure I've completed this before, but I can barely remember any of it. Still, great fun.

Hotline Miami
I've gone back to this and given it another go. It's growing on me. The soundtrack is brilliant.

Freelancer
I've been wanting to play this for years, but it's not on Steam, GOG, etc. Finally managed to track a copy down, and I'm enjoying it. Flight and combat on the mouse feels good, although using the RMB to fire has suddenly stopped working a few missions in, and I don't know why/how to reactivate it. :slol: Firing using the keyboard isn't quite the same.

When I play older RPGs particularly on 8 bit systems I often use Game Genie codes to level up faster. That's what I did in Crystalis, now I'm at a higher level I'm having a better time with it.

I have given up on Crystalis for the time being as I keep getting lost in the increasingly large and samey looking dungeons so I'm currently playing a couple of Amiga games I had on Atari ST as a kid namely Hero Quest and Rick Dangerous.

Hero Quest is a pretty faithful translation of the original D&D lite board game, I played it to death as a kid but never really progressed as I didn't understand how the save system worked. Turns out it was actually pretty simple but there's save states now anyway so it's largely irrelevant.

Rick Dangerous is another game I had as a kid, played the hell out of but never got anywhere in on account of it being really effing hard but I've managed to finish the first 2 levels now. There's so much trial and error here due to booby traps springing up everywhere that the game is more memory test than platformer. Seeing as how it's by Core Design I wonder if any of the devs went on to work on the Tomb Raider series as the traps and general theme of the game give off a similar vibe to me. I sure I remember the ST version having a level select but that doesn't seem to be the case on Amiga.

Really enjoying it and I'm setting up my house, though :toot: .

Seven! You're back in GR :toot: .

And playing something outside of FF XIV :o . I guess you're taking a mini break ahead of Stormblood arriving? I know I always say that I'm gonna get back into FF XIV... but I struggle to play that and ESO simultaneously.

Superfrog on Amiga. As an ST owner I feel I missed out on Team 17's output from that era. I played a little of this at a friends house years ago but not a lot. I'm near the end now and it's been okay, probably about as close to a Mario or a Sonic game as you'd likely have got on a computer back then but it just doesn't have quite the level of polish you'd see in a Japanese developed console game.

As a kid I put up with that whole up to jump and one fire button nonsense because I didn't really know any better but it's really a less than ideal setup for a game like this. Also I don't know if this is just a problem with the emulator or maybe a bad dump of the game but it has a tendency to crash when it tries to load the bonus level.

Did you leave the guild on the Cerberus server, Seven? I remember that, last time I played (probably about five months ago and that was the first time in ages), you let me join that group... and I haven't logged on since :fp: .

Blimey, I hadn't thought of that, shadow :lol: . It could be excellent practice for Real Life :toot: .
