I must stress that it is not like Soulslikes. It is aping the feel not the gameplay. It also took me some time to fully acclimatise, but once I did I would rank it really high against actual Souls likes. The sequel did not quite land right for me for one thing and one thing only: healing (yeah, me, healing, what?)

It is a slow and deliberate style of combat but when you get the mods to tailor your playthrough style you become a big beefy powerhouse. I love big beefy bois and birls :3:

Yeah I havent been able to get into any soulslike ever which is why I've steered clear of it, but I'm tempted since it's right there. Slow and deliberate combat sounds good to me. That's exactly why I like the first dark souls game best over the other 2 cuz its much slower paced

Everyone's probably sick of me posting about elden ring a million times but to give an update I've pasted a couple more bosses, got a nasty new sword that does over 200 damage and I'm level 25!

All of the things I was told I'd appreciate about this over the others in the series I do - every single boss so far has been right next to a revive point, or close enough to one I sprint without fighting. Makes a huge difference.

:cheers: Please do keep posting! These are really fun to read.

And yeah Elden Ring generally always gives you a respawn point right outside the boss room (with a couple of mildly annoying exceptions) and I think it was a good move. The boss runbacks in the earlier games were something I was fine with but I know a lot of players felt really ground down by them, and you could tell that the series was moving towards having respawn points closer to bosses over time. And I gotta admit, I don't miss the boss runbacks.

Man of Medan is fun with a friend. Not Until Dawn (or apparently Quarry) quality but we had fun playing through it blind.

Crash 4 the definitive "not super interested but I'll try for free" game.

PS1 JRPG request list includes Dragoon, Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Lunars.

I got little hope on Pee Ess Peelus Peemium and lol at that loving ending. What a way to ruin a game. I have no hope for Man of Medan but I’ll still give it a go. House of ashes was a bit better but aside from having some astounding lighting effects it still sucked a bit.

Until Dawn the undefeated play a movie GOAT

Crash rules, when I ever get a PS5 I'll go back to Crash 4. I enjoyed the tiny bit of it I played after release. Great childhood memories of 1-3 and I had a really great time with the remakes too.

I think you can always manually parry them. The stance just makes it automatic while blocking.

I tried Crash 1 on the collection when it was in PS+ and decided I'd rather try and do a Donkey conga drums run of DS1 than try any more to beat like the sixth stage lol

I realize the PS1 had Gex and I guess Crash there (never played any of them) but then you also had Spyro who was as sweet and wholesome as could be.

Blasphemous is very good but very difficult. That snowy climb with the wind and the enemies who zoom at you and can only be hit on the lower half, but can go through the terrain...man. They are some pests!

Spyro is still cool and good because it's just a 3D platformer instead of some weird 2.5D abomination where all corners are made from magic frictionless material.

Crash didn't really talk or have a personality in the actual games, beyond going WHOA when he died in various ways. Good animations for the time. The gameplay is like what you would've expected people to attempt when jumping from SNES platformers for the first time, unlike Mario who set a new template for Gex, Spyro etc. to follow. It was ok at the time but isn't very satisfying now, hallway levels with minor depth perception added. Jak 1 was much better. Crash had a handful of interesting ideas/levels.

If only Mario 64 got a trilogy on that console like the other mascots all did.

yeah nintendo had their bum cheeks clenched tight at the thought of competing with the greatest platformer of the 32 bit era but they made it through unscathed in the end

Crash Bandicoot was ace. I played all the way through the first, got nearly every secret too. Then I played all of 2 and 3. I would say 2 is the best of the bunch - has the better levels, slightly more secret stuff, better design and music and more variety.

Crash 1 is more like Donkey Kong Country I think.

Haha what? Crash 2 has the cool hub, added nitro boxes, has the 'vehicle' sections, is more freeform and feels better to play.

Also I like Kirby Automata :) That is 3D.
