The Nameless King in DS3 took me longer than I'd care to admit. Shieldless, of course.

There's alwaya 2-3 bosses per game that just make you want to throw your controller through a window.

Playing Bioshock 2: Minerva's Den while I wait for Cyberpunk. Never got to this one the first time around and it's really, really good. Love the immersive sim vibe compared to Infinite, which is sort of on rails.

I am smitten by Demon's Souls. Bloodborne has been called the spiritual successor to it and I can totally understand why.

Now I really, really want a PS5 upgrade to Bloodborne.

The idea of struggling with the same boss for hours sounds so unappealing.

Teddy was a tryhard gamer, and as am I.

In theory, yes. But the player is compelled to keep trying so they can experience the excellent level design, environmental storytelling, creature design, vast amount of weapons/spells, and combat strategies.

There is certainly a big learning curve when you play one of these games for the first time, but each one follows a similar formula. Only that one boss has taken more than 1-3 attempts.

The worst! Took me forever to beat those two.

Every now and then in that purple bubble store, for 200 bucks you can buy back a resurrect

Fuckers will always show up if I have yet to die or have under 200, but are nowhere to be seen if I need one n have the funds

I am on the precipice of beating Demon's Souls and I just want to start over and do New Game Plus right away, Valhalla and Cyberpunk be damned.

Souls is that good, eh? Maybe I should really re-visit that one after I 100% Miles Morales. I'm at about 85% now and thinking I may hold on Cyberpunk until the next gen version comes out (though that could be a while).

I'm definitely holding off on playing Cyberpunk until the next gen patch, unless it is late 2021. Hopefully, it is Spring.

I only play mobile games and this one is a good time waster at the moment. Graphics are easy on the eyes, gameplay is straightforward with a few puzzles to keep it interesting. Kind of reminds me a bit of limbo in mechanics.

Does it have any microtransactions or pay to win aspects?

No, but it's got a price tag in the play store. I have play pass so it's free with that, but I think it's listed at like $2.99 or $5.99, I can't remember.

Just bought Last of Us, Uncharted 4, Bloodborne and Horizon Zero Dawn for 10$ each. I'm on the cutting edge of gaming. What should I play first?

Last of Us first. What genre of games do you typically like? Bloodborne is an all-time classic, but is certainly not for everyone. The others are very good too. Horizon was probably my favorite open world game on the PS4.

Teslagrad is really fucking fun so far.

I like Naughty Dog games but I was in the mood for something more gamey, and Bloodborne is probably too hard for me, so I went with Horizon. Pretty fun so far.

OH man, what I wouldn't give to play all of those games again for the first time. I've replayed them all except Horizon.


I just finished Last of Us 2, that was a hell of a ride. Just started Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

Horizon is a great game, wonder if Burt will accuse it of being SJW propaganda.
