It took my about an hour to get to a save point/room. I did die once - I can't even remember what route I took to get there. I was honestly just maddeningly going from area to area lol. I have to beat this game now before another 10-15 years goes by and I still am putting it off.Originally Posted by eversonpoe

Castlevania SOTN may be my favorite game of all time. got it when it first came out, I sucked at it at first too. but give it time. you'll soon master it. it's about finding the right weapon, shield, and armor combos. there are certain armors you need to advance certain areas, and other skills obtained. a helpful hint is the Shield Rod, while not the strongest and fastest weapon, is a very useful one. if you do (I believe) down + forward, square + circle at the same time, you can activate a special ability based on the shield you have equipped at the time.

Finished two playthroughs of Dark Anthology Pictures: Man of Medan this past weekend. Recommended by me, Little Hope is gonna be even better I feel.
Two years ago I bought God of War and got super sidetracked and ended up never finishing it. I am in the process of playing it. I’m about to enter Jotunheim, so I am near the end of the main journey story quests.
Also been playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons a lot and just yesterday got my 10th and final villager. Looking to get a 5 star rating next.

Bought Saints Row: The Third Remastered. Some of the cutscenes are a buggy mess but that could be a holdover from the original, been too long since I played it.
Perfect time for it to come out, tons of stuff to do to take up some of this free time. I'm almost 20 hours in and nowhere near done with all the base game content, then there's still 3 DLCs to play. Definitely good for some "turn off your brain and blow shit up" gameplay.

Doom Eternal is giving me a run for my money. As the first Doom game of the newer series I have played, it’s a lot of fun but it’s certainly got its learning curve. For the most part I’m doing fine on hurt me plenty, but MAN. There are some battles where I’ll respawn just to get obliterated in seconds.
Trying not to adjust the difficulty to get through one I’m stuck on now, but I’m very close to the end and frustrated haha. All in all, I’m glad I bought it, it’s been a lot of fun. Might have to check out the 2016 game after I’m done with this and finish the last of us 2.

the NES Castlevania games are 10 times harder than Symphony of the Night
I'm bouncing around between Uncharted 4 (about 2 1/2 hours in, it's taking me a while to get into it tbh) , Wipeout Omega Collection, and Batman Telltale series. The first season was free on the playstation store and I figured what the heck, I'll download it. I watched the Walking Dead telltale game on youtube years ago and enjoyed Until Dawn. I freaking LOVE the Batman game and I consider myself just a mid level Batman fan at best. I know the style of play for these games aren't for everyone, but it reminds me of PC games from the early to mid 90's. I am hooked on the storyline and love the art style.

finally giving Nioh 2 the time that it deserves. I'm falling in love with it, the combat is so fun. the combos, the bosses are really fun and finding out the little details to the game. Wow this is def my game of the year.
This Cannot Continue
Time has lost all meaning, i thought the last time i was on here was a few weeks ago, turns out it was in March! So far i've cleared Doom Eternal, Pokemon Sword, The Surge 2, God Eater 3, Shining Resonance Refrain and just started Jedi Fallen Order.
Jedi is looking like a game i will really dig!

Does it fit in the genre people say it does souls wars ? : )
This Cannot Continue
Kinda. It starts very uncharted but it soon falls into the whole Souls like. Difference is it has difficulty settings if that isn't your thing and makes parring much easier. I'm sticking with Jedi Master settings and having a lot of fun.
I was nobody. Nothing.
@eversonpoe , as you play, don't forget to notice the sheer gothic beauty of the game.
SOTN is a game where I leveled like, all the way up, and beat it, and STILL ran around in the castle, just loving it. Edit: (regularly, I mean, for like a year.)
I did a replay last year, and got an insanely rare drop of the crissigram early in the game. At first I was excited, but then it kind of ruined it because all the enemies, even bosses, are more or less defenseless against it.

Speaking of Castlevania, I'm finishing up Order of Ecclesia on DS, which is WAY harder than any of the other SoTN style Castlevania games. Aria of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, Dawn of Sorrow, Harmony of Dissonance, and to a lesser extent, Circle of the Moon, were all fucking CAKEWALKS compared to Order of E.
I almost fucking gave up after the first boss. But I persisted, especially once I realized what they were doing with the game: adding a little of that "Nintendo Hard" style to the SoTN formula.
I'm close to Dracula. I'm excited, but also bummed out, as this is the last of the, what, 7? I think there are 7 SoTN style Castlevania games: 3 each for GBA and DS, right?
If you like SoTN, you can't miss any of those six handheld games. They're awash with the same gorgeous gothic beauty and badass music, all combine rpg elements with exploration, and even have some of the same enemies and items.
Get you some emulator. Come to think of it, wanting to play Dawn of Sorrow is why I wound up with all these DSs and R4 cards, lol.

Been playing the fuck out of this game:

I've been playing God of War for the first time on the Give Me God of War difficulty in Immersive Mode (because I'm weird and like to challenge myself when I play video games). I'm loving the game, but I'm dying SO much. By the way, if you enjoy that game, I highly recommend checking out Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. The gameplay style is very similar and the story is amazing.

I take back what I said about Uncharted 4. about 8 hours into it. a masterpiece.

As the pandemic kept me at home I kind of got back into gaming or at least I will play a game once in a while, really deep dive into it and then not touch another game for a year.
But these days I'm REALLY looking forward to that Mafia remake as I was having a lot of fun with Mafia 3 despite the bad reviews, but apart from it being really buggy at times, I loved everything about it, so I can't wait to come back to the origin. Games tend to be tedious these days, especially when they are open world. I really don't know why developers aim for bigger maps apart from marketing when they can't fill them with interesting stuff or at least memorable and enjoyable side quests. Especially the DLCs of recent games have been really lacking for their money...
Apart from that I also have my eyes on The Ascent which looks like a Diablo meets Cyberpunk outfit:
Only By Night
Playing Red Faction for the first time. Got the plat for FF7 Remake and got lost on psn one night and picked it up. It's good, I like the atmosphere and having to think here and there and is definitely challenging at times. Oh the good old PS2 days.

Red Faction was my jam back in the day! My buddy and I would have some epic two player battles on there. Miss those days.

Haven't had the pleasure of playing multiplayer yet. You have to pay attention to what you see since there is no mapping system from what I know. I forgot to save since it doesn't have an auto saving feature and I lose almost 3 hours of Gameplay; I almost gave up lol.

Quick question; I know there’s another thread for this but how many of you are going to grab Cyberpunk 2077 when it comes out? I’m always hesitant to preorder games and usually wait a week to see reviews, etc, but it just looks so. Awesome.

I just got Injustice 2 Legendary Edition yesterday.
Holy crap is this game so much fun!! It reminds me of how fun fighting games were back in the 90's. I have Tekken 7 and was disappointed, I just wasn't feeling it. I loved the first 3 Tekken games with 3 being my favorite fighter of all time. But I was so turned of with how clunky the new ones seem, and how you now have to BUY characters instead of unlocking them, wtf?
And so far, the storyline in Injustice 2 is great! (I'm about 4 chapters in) .

Remnant of the ashes DLC is on the PS4 store ! FUCK YES!
tempus est umbra in mente
yeah... I mean, at least then you get the unique experience of going in to the FFVII Remake blind with no expectations... and that's something really enviable.

I have been having fun going back to try to find any tombs/items etc in Rise of the Tomb Raider. About 85% full completion now.
But the past couple days I've been playing almost exclusively Batman Arkham Asylum since I recently go the Return to Arkham collection. Love it! Never played the PS3 games so it's a first. So much fun.

Since release I've been knee deep in Animal Crossing New Horizons. That's pretty much been my life during quarantine when I wasn't listening to/watching/buying NIN related material. I also recently got into Persona 5 and though I'm not really a JRPG person, I really enjoy it! I think the balance between dungeon battles and daily life activities breaks it up enough where I don't get bored with the game. Only problem is it's such a time sink! It often feels like I have to set aside a whole day to progress in that game. Otherwise, it's a ton of fun.

Started playing The Last Of Us- Left Behind to get used to the game play again before the new one comes out. What a nice little addition to main game. I probably have maybe an hour or so left of it but it made me remember why I liked The Last Of Us so much to begin with. Excited for the new one and I’ve managed to stay spoiler feee.
