i keep wondering why they never put the bloodborne mechanic of enemies stealing your bloodstain into subsequent games

Booted up my save from March 2022. Not only do I not remember how to play, I don’t even recognize my character. This person has a great shield, a katana, and some kind of plague spell.

Very ā€œthis’ll beat her.ā€

The new character I created ended up looking just like my original character plus about 30 years. What 18 months does to a MFer

I went through my first new ā€œdungeonā€ last night (Belurat Gaol) and it’s such a well-designed area. The color of the lighting, the way they slowly reveal the gross monsters, the platforming parts that aren’t really difficult but make you nervous, etc.

they made being a boxer viable again. I think I’m too invested in the swinging an airplane wing around life 200 hours in to switch now though and I used most of my respec items slightly tweaking my stats

I also think it’s very endearing how many people I’ve seen (here and elsewhere) saying ā€œhow do I play this againā€

You click the left stick to crouch and the right button to dash and that’s the opposite of the last two videogames I played.

immediately after this I remembered that you’re supposed to use a rune arc when you’re reliably 10% outclassed and won

How many Scadutree levels are you folks challenging Rellena with

It felt probably doable with 4 but I still left to explore further before trying any serious attempt

The golden hippopotamus combines a lot of animals, but I’m not sure what part of it is actually from a hippopotamus. Some of the teeth, maybe? It was a pain to fight but I’m glad this game has that sort of variety.

I also like the furry turtles. Don’t remember whether they were in the base game.

Anyway that fight took me an hour longer than I thought I felt like (which is to say it probably took a little over an hour) but I thought it was an overall decent way to reengage the muscle… the scaling from having summons is very noticeable so you’re inclined to play around with that, she has some initially imposing unblockable attacks that are pretty easy to dodge… most of her moveset is only barely punishable… not sure I feel like straining too much harder than that but I’d call it a good start
