@frostyryan: That's the thing with From games

Sekiro - I found phase 3 okay but phase 2 just really bogged me down.

In Bloodborne I got stuck for hours on that bloody Vaccuous Spider boss, even though I knew how to beat it, but I breezed past some others described as being really difficult. When it clicks, it clicks, but when it doesn't it is pain.

I had to post.

I just beat this boss. (I'm lumping Genichiro and Isshin together)

I don't know how many hours it took me. I'll say between 5 - 10.

The frustrating thing (although I was never properly infuriated) is that I worked out how to beat this boss, I just couldn't execute it, and any one mistake really could result in a huge punishment.

I got to a stage fairly easily where I could beat the first phase with no damage and in pretty quick time. However a lapse would result in failure. If I died in this phase, I didn't even bother resurrecting.

After many more hours, and a lot of struggles early on, I worked out the patterns to phase 2, and would similarly take little to no damage.

Now phase 3. Holy hell.

The biggest problem for phase 3 is that I never got to practise it that much, because any time I fully died, I had to go through bloody phase 1 and 2 again. Every damn time. I worked out the patterns, but executing on this was tough. This was the phase where I felt it would occasionally 'cheese' me, though not really, usually more my own mistakes.

I only made it to the very last phase three times. My heart was almost out of my damn chest on that final one where I finally beat that bastard.

Then the game asked if I wanted to start my second playthrough.

GTFO Sekiro.

I can finally be at peace.

How do I buy Borderlands 3 without accidentally giving Randy Pitchford more Medieval Times money?

Octopath was disappointing for me

I'm waiting for Dragon Quest XI on the Switch as long as it runs half decently

I am really really interested in it due to its setting, but I'm going to wait a little bit past launch because Paradox often have lots of bugs around launch.

I own but never really played CK2

I dabbled a bit in EU4 but dropped off

Stellaris I have around 10 hours in and really liked and want to play more.

Imperator is my era of history, so I want to do a deep dive on it, but I'm happy to wait for a bit.

The Prisoner from Dead Cells

@sawtooth: I'm super tempted to watch Jack Black playing Brutal Legend .- I think he has a Youtube channel.

Okay so it's only a 14 minute video? I dunno.

Yeah I think I have a copy of Brutal Legend on PC. The Metal elements really (pun intended) struck all the right chords with me.

100%

I also thought Brutal Legend copped a lot of unnecessary shit. I know the marketing was a part of that, because it backended the RTS stuff, which was most of the game, bit it was still a hell of a lot of fun.

"Yes it's true, this Xbox has no disk"

Billions - Damian Lewis is compelling in everything that he is in and Paul Giamatti is Paul Giamatti. As ridiculous as some parts of the show are and some of the plot turns are, and generally how horrible all of the characters are, I find it to be really compelling and just enjoyable to watch. I'm currently up to date with the show and am now just working through the new episodes as they come out.
