Is this where it’s meant to get hard? I beat the woodsmith first go. Just lots of dodging and fecking up the thing in the middle.

If you didn't struggle with Taro, it's probably never going to get tough for you. That was the first real difficulty spike and while some of the other bosses were pretty challenging, it never really got harder than that. I thought Taro was really, really hard, so seeing your posts I'm now wondering if I played this all wrong or I'm just that bad.

100%. I have no issues with challenging fights but trekking through the same place you already cleared over and over to get back to it sucks balls.

I always found most of the hardest bosses in Soulsborne games either have saves just before the fight or a short hike where you can ignore everything. I can only recall a handful of particularly bad boss runs, and I believe at least two of those were in Dark Souls 2 DLC. Lud & Zallen can burn in hell.

Taro was the same for me and anyone else I know who played it, maybe Solius played it on easy or is pro.

Well I've only played one Soulsborne, Bloodborne to be exact, and made it to the first boss and then had to go back to the start and get through a big horde of enemies again that had already killed me like 10 times, and swiftly gave up. I was assuming it didn't get any less repetitive than that :lol:

That's usually a sign you missed a shortcut or something. Both potential first bosses (Cleric Beast and Father Gascoigne) have runs that should allow you to run past all enemies. I get that it's annoying, it's just something I got used to, I guess.
 
Too many games come out in q1.

I'm a pretty hard core destiny 2 player and witch Queen expansion comes out 22nd Feb. Then Elden ring on 25th. Then there's horizon forbidden west.

Guess I'm leaving Elden ring and HFW alone for a few months.
 
I’ve hit the final boss on Kena and I’ll be honest it’s abit of a joke. I managed to get through that hard fight agaisnt Corrupted Taro before letting out a huge sigh only to then have to tackle an even harder boss with basically zero checkpoints in play. How on earth can you ever get past that final boss, can’t even use the abilities you’ve collected over the game. Honestly lost abit of goodwill for me in how much they have artificially increased the difficulty.

I just dodged a lot.

Also I found a bit of a trick for most bosses. If you just constantly threw rot bombs at them they’d be frozen the whole time and you could get your hits in Inbetween throws.
 
Sackboy's awesome. My girlfriend who's not one bit into gaming and hasn't touched a console since she was a kid loves it and wants to play it every night after we put the little one down. Cheers to all who recommended it for co-op play!

Anyone played It Takes Two with their non-gamer spouses? We've looked at that as our next game for when we finish Sackboy.

Sackboy is great isn’t it! Silly things like dressing up your character is brill fun.

I played the demo for it and quite enjoyed it, it won a lot of awards, can imagine you both enjoying it to be fair.

Definitely. That, and running around trying to punch each other during the end of level screen :lol:
 
Finally bit the bullet and bought a 1tb SSD with all these games coming out this year.

I think it was watching some videos of Sifu that tipped me over the edge. It looks great and the physical version won't be out for a while. I'll probably get that on launch which will keep be going until Elden Ring then I'll pick up Horizon FW and GT further down the road. Traded in Guardians and Ratchet at Cex last week so I've got £56 credit waiting to be used.

It Takes Two is awesome. My girlfriend is also not into gaming at all and she loves it. Think she has wanted to go on more than me. Every level is different so you never do the exact same thing twice, it’s a very good game and I suspect will be right up your street by the sounds of it.
 
I was so bored I tried Dirt 5 from the PS Plus games and now I’m even more bored.
 
I'm at the weird point in Ghost of Tsushima, which I strangely find myself quite regularly in regarding open world games, where I'm quite far into the games main story but my character is not exactly the most upgraded individual. I'm now in a boss fight and I'm comfortably getting my Samurai ass kicked.

Enjoying the game though. Gorgeous visuals and great sound design, the lead character is blooming bland looking though.
 
Yo, I've got a PS4 and PS5, question is, can I only set one of them as my primary console? If I can have both as primary consoles that would be sweet and I could lend it to my old man so he could play through tomb raider and stuff.

I really struggled with how bland the main character was and tbh the overall story wasn’t great either for the bit I got up to. Ultimately the combat alone wasn’t enough to pull me through the game first time, but I keep telling myself I’ll get round to finishing it one day.

I believe you can do both.
 
Pretty sure you can only have 1 primary console, not 1 per generation.

You can still give the ps4 to your dad though. Make that primary console and ask him to use a different user/account. Then so long as you are logged in and connected to the Internet on the ps5 you can access and play all your games.

Mrs sometimes plays games on the ps5 too though, and bollocks to letting her use my account, she would somehow have kratos wearing a dress and a sun hat.

You can have a primary on each generation... PS3, PS4, PS5 and so on.

Don't listen to @Alock1 mate...
 
The SSD is a piece of piss to install.

I've prepared the deluxe edition of Sifu. Only a couple of quid more at the moment with the extras and a slightly earlier release date.

There’s like five different races, and the career mode is just cycling through them at varying times of day for a slight visual difference.

I’m just playing it for trophies. I’ve also got Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance (not great), and Skyrim (very great) on the go.

It blows my mind that people likely spent portions of their lives making it. Changing tiny little details and working on it every single day. And yet it’s an incredibly dull racing game that’s been done 1000 times and wouldn’t look out of place on a PS3. Must be soul destroying. Or maybe the people who made it are already dead inside.
 
I actually don't mind Dirt 5. It's fine for a freebie and a quick hour here and there. The haptics are fairly decent on it as well. But you're quite right that they overuse the same tracks far too much and as usual the commentators need muting.

I’ve played a fair bit of Cod Warzone but honestly would be happy for it to go to Xbox. FPS box.
