Mamoulian War

Well, now that you set the bar for the DLCs so low, I can be only surprised 😄

Unfortunately, I do not have any DLCs on my PS3. But I have my PS4 SotFS version as well. So sooner or later, I will play them too. The reason, why I have so much issues with Pursuer, Vendrick and Royal Rat Authority was simple. They are just to fast for my old bones 😛 The design of Pursuer is IMO very good, it's just that he is so damn fast for me Last Giant and Flexile Sentry are of course runners-up of the easiest boss trophy, but the Rotten for me was kind of pain as well, due to the lava pools in the arena. Which is again more like issue with my skills, than the boss design 😛 And Vendrick, well, I think he does not completely deserve my bashing, but his small arena really really made the fight big pain for me. TBH I had the same issue with Capra Demon in DS 1. His fast speed and small arena was for me recipe for disaster and has made me to quit the game for few years, because I was to slow to be able to have a fair fight with him at such a small place For Vendrick I stick to it, until I found his "weak spot"... Still 59 tries to defeat him 😄

You never know, to be honest, besides the crowd funding on fig, I have not seen any marketing about that game. Might be local thing, but still. Some good MS marketing can make a big difference in sales even for the games like Sea of Thieves and Fable 😛 From what I understand MS bought some studios to be able to produce some AA games, so I hope they will stick to that and will be willing to greenlight even more niche products.

Hardest was definatelly Ancient Dragon, in the non-cheasy way. The easiest was by long margin the Covetous Demon. Most annoying was Royal Rat Authority and Vendrick, but the least favourite would be probably tied The Pursuer with Ruin Sentinels. Favourite, is little bit harder to pick, but I really enjoyed the mechanic of Executioner’s Chariot, despite being pretty easy as well, but the skeletons were little bit annoying. After finding out how to remove the poison from the arena, Mytha was nice fight as well. Smelter Demon was also nice to look ar fight with it’s three phases, but the arena made the fight annoying, becuase there were two places, where was to easy to get stuck and obliterated, and I also liked the Darklurker mechanic, but it was real pain in the ass for me to get to that boss. So in the end I think I would pick The Executioner’s Chariot as my favourite.

And the final Final Bossfight of the game. Aldia, Scholar of the First Sin. This took me 16 tries, in which I've lost 90k souls from the previous one 😢 Took me some time to learn to avoid all his moves, especially the 4 homing fireballs... In one attempt, he made this move 3 times in a row 😕 Anyway, the fight was nice closure of the whole adventure, which I've enjoyed a lot, with the exception of Shrine of Amana, Dragon Shrine and learning of Ancient Dragon fight 😄 I am curious, how I will fare in NG+ 😛

The second of the final sequence of the bossfights for Dark Souls 2. Queen Nashandra. For a caster very easy fight. Only two attempts, despite absolutely not knowing how to destroy the curse beacons 😄 Not much to be said, only that I was surprised how easy the fight was 😮

Did someone chained you to chair, to endure so much pain? 😮

First of the final bossfight sequence uploaded on YT . The Throne Watcher and Throne Defender To my surprise, despite the encounter being double bossfight, the fight was easy and straightforward, with one big surprise in middle of the fight 😄One was weak to Sorcery, the other was weak to Hexes. All in all, with little bit running around and blocking and dodging to my shock, I was victorious on my first try 🤣🤣🤣

Yesterday evening after 960 deaths, I was finally able to defeat Aldia, Scholar of the First Sin in Dark Souls II on my PS3, and I've finished the game for the first time ever. Most of the bosses, with the exception of Ancient Dragon were for my Sorcerer pretty easy to learn, but on some of them, my old bones were to slow to react, so I had to spent longer time wiping the floor there 😛 . Then there were areas like Shrine of Amana and Dragon shrine, where the enemy placement was so ridiculous, that it raised my death counter to sky high levels 😄 . Shrine of Amana has become for me officially the worst Souls level ever, beating by a long margin even the Blighttown and 5-1 area of Valley of Defilement. I still need to get into NG++ to be able to get all of the trophies for the game, but I need small pause to relax on a less demanding game 🙂 . Despite it's flaws I have enjoyed the game, mostly before Shrine of Amana, which made the game for a few hours like a slogging chore... But we'll see how NG+ will be going. Next game will be probably Journey on my PS4, just for relax I'll post my last three bossfights as soon as I'll finish sorting my recorded videos

Thankfully, I’ve just finished the game with 960 deaths 😄

Yeah, he looks very very slow, but that’s only because I have found his weak spot. When I’ve tried to engage him face to face, I’ve really struggled to dodge his occasional “hyper mode” and he usually ended me with one or two hits 😞

And bossfight number 29 in Dark Souls 2. Optional Boss King Vendrick. The biggest complication on this fight were my sore thumbs from all the wiping at Ancient Dragon 😄 The thumbsticks sometimes slipped me away from under my thumb tips, which were little bit painful sometimes 😄 It took me a lot of tries to find out his weakness. After that, I’ve needed around 15 attempts to execute it properly 🙂 All in all, it took me 59 attempts He was just to fast for my old reflexes

I think, the september might be the right time to dust off your Let's Play channel

Ladies and Gentlemen, I think it might be good idea to stock up on popcorn, because soon, it will be among the rarest commodities on the market... And you wanna have some big pile of it at home, as Twitter will explode in September 2020...

Warhammer 40000 Rites of War giveaway on GOG! With it also new games from the universe have come to the platform in a sale!!! https://www.gog.com/news/join_us_in_celebrating_the_warhammer_weekend_and_grab_a_free_game

2020 is definetelly doomed... I read just now, that Kanye resigned...

Don’t be afraid, if not now, Kanye will make it safe this November 😉

Not really, just the small increase in e-peen size 😄 It was 120000 souls, 1 upgrade material for boss weapon and 1 Giant Soul to make the Vendrick fight easier. And that soul was actually the most useful stuf, because I somehow sucked a lot at that fight as well. Would be probably hard for me to imagine him with bigger resistances without that 1 more soul... The biggest obstacle to skip that fight was my stubborness to beat all the content, the game has to offer 😄

Well, when not fried like a crisp, that was the second most often way how I was put to rest by that overgrown lizzard 😄.

I have now finally behind me the hardest bossfight, I have ever fought. Dark Souls 2 Ancient Dragon (if you do not use one of the cheesing strategies of course)... Compared to him, Kalameet in Dark Souls 1 is just like a little dragon baby... The mechanic of the fight is not that hard, the issue is complete unpredictability of his Rain of Fire ability... I have decided to not use cheese on him and learn how to fight him as was intended by the developers... Well, it took me much longer than expected... 139 tries in 4 gaming sessions across 3 days... 99% of the knockdowns was, because he have flown up to completely random position, and then fried my ass with his fire attack... My moves, which worked dozens upon dozens of times, provoked completely unexpected reaction of the AI in random situations... But well... He is now down, and I have nice 12 minutes long video of me running around like a headless chicken spamming spells 😄 Enjoy

Looks like, I've hit a big wall in Dark Souls 2, yesterday 3 and half hours and more than 60 attempts at Ancient Dragon fight... His Fire Breath is a gamble, which hits me sooner or later and if it looks like I am able to outrun him through the whole attempt, he flies over the edge, and there is no way to outrun him... *sighs* Best attempt around 50% the worst attempt 5 seconds...

Nope, not everyone loves Croteam, because SS3 is still not available on GOG!!!

I can only recommend. Played both of them. Classical point and click adventure, in sci-fi horror setting.

And another DS2 boss down. Darklurker. Not so difficult, not so easy for an old guy 😛 The biggest issue was again the area to get to him, only 4 enemies, but I pulled by mistake more than one of them, it was immediate death. The second annoying thing was the requirement of 1 human effigy for each entrance to the area. I spent more than 20 😩 until I've finished the fight. This time, I've defeated the boss on 9th try, but his mirror image was able to cast one more spell outside of my FoV, while the first was already down... I got Victory Achieved, I was yelling happy hell yeah, and right in middle of that, I got one Shadow Spear spell up my ass... You can imagine me cursing in that moment... It took me few more tries to start concentrating again, but in the end my 14th attempt was finally again successful... See bellow

Might be the issue of Xbox. I have PS2, 3 and 4 and the only thing, which I have issue with is the online pay behind paywall. Everything else is manageable, because I have turned off automatic updates. Might be because I do not play multiplayer games at all, with exception of few races now and then... But yes PS5 did not sparked any interest for me so far... so you might be onto something...
