This is the first time I’ve ever come across another PS2 player out in the wild. I played on PS4 so I don’t have exact hours but I stuck with it for over 2+ years back in 2017. One of my most played games for sure.

Enter the Gungeon is another good bullet hell game. Slay the Spire if you like deck building. Both easy to pick up and stop.

God of War 2018. I played all the original games but I was still just a casual fan. I heard about the new game coming out but didn’t really pay much attention to it. I eventually play it and holy crap I didn’t know it was going to be what it was. Before playing it, I had RDR2 as my game of the year but GOW really stole it in the end.

I bought the hype. I don’t think it meets it but it is a good game that I will keep installed.

Monster Hunter World and Don’t Starve

Wonderful news

Too far

Does Shadow of the Colossus count? I didn’t get very far in the game but I did enjoy the parts I did play of The Last Guardian.

StarCraft. I played it, I liked it but never really invested time to get better at the game. My friends were really good and they would include me by putting me on the opposite team so I can backstab later in the match 😅

I was talking about persistence, as in not giving up. Persistence is a must for souls games so you’re going to have to like the process of failing a lot and then finally getting the relief that comes at the very end.

It’s just as hard as any other game on the hardest difficulty. The only difference is there is no difficulty setting.

Try it out. You don’t have to be amazingly good, you just have to be persistent and learn from your mistakes.

Whenever I feel FOMO, I just remind myself of all the other FOMO items I bought in past games and how much I don’t care about them anymore.

I started to censor myself too on other platforms because sometimes they have warnings like “Are you sure you want to post this?” and I feel like they’re shadowbanning my comment.

Now I see why they never allowed custom backgrounds like the PS4. They wanted to do this from the beginning.

I really wanted to try Forza Horizon but the closest game like it I could get my hands on was NFS Heat, which I had a lot fun playing. Riders Republic was also fun if you want a non car racing game. I guess I’m just into open world racing.

It’s okay. They’ll try again.

I’d be okay if we downgrade back to 2010 graphics. How much would that save ya?

I really liked their covers. I subscribed just for those alone.

Like someone else mentioned above, Mario 64 is the one I had in mind. I can’t recall any others at the top of my head.

I thought crouch jumping was when you crouch first then jump so your jump is more explosive, thus gaining more height.

I’ve never played a game with the crouch jump you’re describing but that sounds awkward.

That’s why I take videos. I have hard drives of my very average gameplay but I still feel the satisfaction I got when I was actually playing when watching them.

Mass Effect’s universe is doomed to repeat itself forever, doesn’t matter what ending you choose.

I’ll play again at some point but for now, Iceborne.

Too busy, never played.

In a way, it’s kindaworse he’s making it free. He’s not profiting from it, he’s just screwing the other guy for no reason.

So they can burn it to the ground?

I say just dive into the real souls games. Like everyone else, I recommend Elden Ring or DS3 (don’t worry about skipping the first 2 games, you won’t get the story anyway, most people don’t lol).

If you insist on trying something to ease you in, I actually recommend Tales of Iron. It’s a 2D game but the combat is very souls like in the sense that it’s challenging and you have to learn enemy timing and attack patterns.

I could have waited it out probably another 2-3 years if I wasn’t gifted one. Still have LOTS of PS4 titles I’ve been meaning to play. In fact, most of the games I play on my PS5 are PS4 games.

This is why I have a separate gaming only email. If all they’re asking for is an email, sure, they can have it.

I recommend it, this would be a great opportunity to learn. It shouldn’t be too bad, you have a pretty basic document so you won’t need to use any complicated features. I would use it just to line things up so you can scan your list easier.

You’re insane…for not using a spreadsheet! This thing can look so much more tidy.

PS5. I simply can’t go back to long loading screens.

Yeah I’m doing a complete blind run for a genuine first time playthrough. I’m even playing offline so I don’t see player messages saying where all the secrets are but thank you for at least confirming it’s in the game. I’m planning to go back and comb through the previous zones for anything I could have missed before moving onto the eastern side of the map. Hopefully I’ll run into it, if not I don’t mind going straight for it in NG+.

I was using the Reduvia for a little while but then I found Hookclaws which are even faster so I mostly use that now.

What I really want is an Uchigatana and I know there is one because I found a merchant selling a samurai set so no way that sword doesn’t exist. It’s gonna feel like Christmas once I come across it.

I’m on console so unfortunately, no mods for me. It’s fine, Oleg keeps me company.

Finally started Elden Ring, about 25 hours in. I’m having a blast but why oh why is every cool weapon an STR weapon. Where my DEX weapons at??? (Not really asking, just whining)

Yeah, I don’t mind it for Elden Ring. Souls games have their way of getting me to do back to back playthroughs, something I rarely do with most games, so I know I’m going to get my money’s worth.

I actually just ordered a physical copy the other day, I’m finally in the mood to play it. I was surprised it was $50 but still, NO RAGRETS.

Tetris on the OG Gameboy

I wish my mouse would last 11 years. The scroll wheel is vital for me and I wear them down after 2-3.
