Smack my Bishop :D

found in what passes for Braintree no less.

Have swerved AC:V so far. Is it very different from Odyssey?

Very much cut from the same cloth, there's little difference in gameplay. Personally feel it's better than the previous two.

It was on Game Pass so I downloaded it, played the first mission jumping through the factory and decided it's shit, uninstalled.

are we talking about the same game?

i'm talking about the latest one, with the anti-social skandis fannying about in albion.

the one set in victorian london was terrible.

Oh I thought you meant Ass's Creed Syndicate. Which is bad.

A video game starting in Croydon doesn't inspire much confidence in it being any good.

Quite enjoying Redemption Island in Warzone. Had my first win in my third game but the map is sufficiently small that you can end up shot as you’re landing or 3-4 team battles in some areas. The auto-spawn keeps the pace high too.

Smart thing they did was limit ammo so you can’t just unload on other players at long range with impunity at the start of the round.

I only had time for 15 mins yesterday and got insta-melted in 2 out of 3 games - seems fun though. Going to try to put a decent chunk of time in at the weekend.

I think they're also doing free access to Black Ops multiplayer for anyone that wants to try it, at some point this month. Plus is double XP at the same time so I might hop in to rank up the guns faster.

I can't work out how to see my Activision ID but my PSN is Granite_Lw if anyone wants a game.

We found it fun but equally manic - particularly with the ability of a team to insta drop-in/flank you even if you're winning an engagement - really got to be on the ball! Definitely a completely different kettle of fish to OG BRs though which is nice! Love how clearly the map is designed to make it difficult to hole up/camp compared to BR.

It definitely feels that there's few places you can sit with impunity. You can hide effectively but not sit in a single spot and wipe out other teams easily as every spot seems to have weaknesses. I'm sure it'll turn into a sweatfest like regular Warzone eventually but now it seems there's enough randomness that you can get good games.

@Lw. - Just do Nuketown if you want to level weapons up quickly. As an aside, if you log into callofduty.com and check your basic info, you'll see your activision ID. Mine is Zosim#2317560

Ng+ on demons souls is no joke

I've heard others say this, got to NG+ and found 1-1 way easier than I was expecting, but then I tried my favourite early farming spot of 4-1 and can barely beat the first skeleton.

I think some of it is just me expecting to stomp the early lvl slightly harder enemy's with my end game weapons - just like all other souls games. Ended up losing 100k+ souls in 1-1

Oof. Yeah its painful when it takes so many more souls to level up but you now get like 12 per kill

Speaking of Demons.

I’ve started on Tuesday and having a hard times :(

Currently kind of stuck at big spider mama in the mines (skipped the big knight with huge shield from first “level” as wasn’t sure if I’m powerful enough to even touch him).
Only gave the spider 3-4 tries, but the movement and speed of it is too crazy.

From Soul games only played Bloodborne which is very much enjoyed and finished (maybe because it’s a bit more hack and slash than Demons Souls).

Not looking for any guides or solutions, just crying out loud - that’s all.

One thing I learnt online that I now agree with is theres no cheesing in Demons Souls, if it kills them its a valid strategy. To that end get a bow and 100 arrows and sit on the left of the tunnel behind a corpse and you can shoot it with impunity.

Don't forget you can just go do another level too. Might be worth doing 5-1 and 4-1 first.

Personally I didn't know about the 50% equip limit for not rolling properly so really struggled with the game until I worked that out.

I’m trying not to read any tips and trick online, but for example the below 50% sounds pretty good and probably would never figure out without reading about it.

Will try and continue with other levels too and test some cheap strategies!

Thanks!

Got my Demons Souls platinum earlier today! NG++. Thief - Dex build with Sharp Uchigatana +5 and Rogue set...
Maneater was the biggest shock to the system for me in ng+ I had to poison cloud them over about 20 minutes. in NG++ I just ran past, cast firestorm which 1 shot the first then just had to wait for a chance with the second. I've ended with all worlds in White Tendency so im tempted to go fractured mode to collect the ceramic coins for the Penetrator Armor set.

My final trophy was to assist another player and I didn't seem to be getting any interest on my blue sign, so this morning I rolled a Knight and had a quick bash, I didn't realise that the fat roll is the only negative to a heavy armor set, you can still sprint just as fast as a light armor wearer and I felt invincible, cleared 4 bosses in my first life and tried to offer my services for tower knight but still nobody wanted help. Went back to my main and finally got called up for Flamelurker, easy clap.

God of war looks great on Ps5 but ive completed it once before, there's too much story so I just want to go back to more DS.

lots of decent things going in the current switch sale

finally picked up kentucky route zero and streets of rage 4. been playing a bunch of doom 64 recently too - so much fun.

Cyberpunk removed from PS Store.

Just wow...

Is the running the same? It should be but I'm convinced if you remove all your armour you run faster. I started building towards the max shape Uchigatana but ran out of stones and they're an arse to farm, also I don't like how quick it wears out. I ended up maxing out the winged spear for pure physical damage to beat Old King Allant. This is the first souls game I've actually got in to so there's lots I didn't know about and I levelled my main character really badly so have restarted with to a magic based one to learn all the spells/get the trophies.

I will take this moment to request a refund from them then

Normal walk speed seems affected but running seems just as fast, remarkably fast, I suppose it has to be if you’re ever to get past the dragons etc but I felt like the penalty for heavy armour was well worth the survivability. I have done it all wrong in all of the games I think, bloodbourne I went heavy two hand sword when it’s more of a riposte dex game. Then in all the souls games I’ve gone dexterity build and had to pvp fat rollers with spears and hammers.
