I'm in a Dark Souls kick. So far I've put about 100 hours into Dark Souls 1 in the past 40 days or so.
Planning to platinum the first game depending on how it goes....
Well its not a souls game, I was playing mortal shell. But I decided to rage quite. Its progression is too annoying and its just not that good.
Did not know grime was 2d.

Shame. I want to try it.

Try it. You might like it.
The main issue i have with this game is that there is a lack of fast travel, I need to go all the way back to where I started basically to go to the vendor, which is needed to buy heeling consumable and some tools to upgrade yourself/gear.
If I reached half way through a dungeon, and need to go to the vendor, I half to go back the entire way, then fight my way through all over again. The game is very very stingy with healing consumables. So progression In this game is just too difficult at times, because it can take a long time to reach a new respawn point, and if there is a difficult area where you just need some more healing consumables, you're shame out of luck
Stuff I need for platinum:
My first Dark Souls playthrough is done.
Only have to get 1 more trophies:
Collect all the weapons.
I screwed up massively.
Accidentally created the wrong weapon, and I would have to play through the entire game a third time just to make it.
I am enjoying my time, but I think I might take a break first.
150 hours
Partway through NG+++, and I completed all trophies for Dark Souls.
Was well worth it.
Something I find kind of funny:
So all of the enemies in the game are zoned off by invisible walls that don't affect the player. And for the most part, it's not an issue. It's not generally noticeable. Most enemies will start to calm down when you get too far away from their territory and it generally feels kind of natural.
With a few exceptions. Sometimes you can kill an enemy without alerting them because you're on the other side of the invisible wall.
There's one spot though where it's particularly funny. There's an enemy that runs full speed. It's really funny when just out of nowhere, the creature will smash into an invisible wall (that is just a doorway for the player).
I find it more funny the enemies you can kill through non-invisible walls.
Dark Souls 2 is weird. (Very minor design spoilers)
I've been playing a lot of Souls II on my lunch breaks and sometimes before I start work.
I even beat a boss before starting work this morning.
I'm making pretty good progress now.
I really don't understand the appeal of online for Souls games.
Getting invaded is annoying.
There are notes that are sometimes helpful, but most of the time they suck. A huge chunk of them are memes, some of them are flat out bad for the player. (Like saying there's a secret path by jumping off a bridge. I got wrecked because a there were like 6 notes saying a torch was required in a certain area. It ends up making an otherwise friendly NPC start attacking you and you miss out on a trophy because of it. Yay. )
I just liked having 1v1 fights against other people in bloodbrone. Id love a MP game/mode with similar gameplay and its a 4v4 or a 6v6 with objectives in the map.

Could also be like the haunted mansion stretching room. You only think you're moving.

Death stranding was great. Every other single player+online game I just play offline.

dark souls is easy on your second playthrough.
I started Dark Souls 3 like a week ago now.
I'm finding it surprisingly easy. Usually it takes me a bit to get into the groove of a new Souls game.
Was like 92% done at the 24 hour mark, which is crazy fast for me. Usually that's the kind of time I'd get from a second playthrough.
Deciding to finish some quests and stuff before finishing.
Working on getting the Platinum for Dark Souls 3.
At least that's the plan. For the most part I'm having fun. But, a couple of these trophies look kind of terrible.
Finished the main story.
Mucked around for quite a while, but this is still my fastest first Dark Souls playthrough.
I think overall
DS3 > DS1 > DS2
But, DS1 has some niceties. DS2 is definitely the most flawed game, but it brings some nice improvements over the first.

Short but sweet I guess.
So I still have:
NG+ ending and rings
NG++ ending and rings
3 items to farm for hours
I have the platinum for Dark Souls 3.
Previously had:
Bloodborne, Dark Souls 1, Elden Ring
Been playing the Demon's Souls remake, to get that platinum. Not far off.
Thats a lot of soulsborne gaming to get all those plats.
Meanwhile I can't even bring myself to finish eldin ring...
Does anyone have the remake, and would you be willing to help me with the multiplayer trophies?
I don't have it now but will probably get it someday. If you still need help in a year let me know.
Have to get two multiplayer trophies, 1 ending, a secret weapon, and 3 collection trophies.

To be honest it isn't that bad. The first playthrough is where like 70% of my playtime goes.
It's a lot of fun though. I get to see how much I've improved with a second playthrough and I really get to explore more of the games. Like having to actually mess with the world tendency in Demon's Souls for example.
Down to one ring and the magic collection.
Finished the multiplayer trophies.
One thing I find incredibly frustrating is that the game is much, much easier to go evil than good. It is basically impossible to go from pure black to pure white in one playthrough, whereas the alternative can be done several times over.
A common complaint.
you just have to plan to go full white first and then go full black once your ready. Personally i liked the tendancy system. I was sad to see it completely removed in the later games. Sure the could have made it easy to control but the idea was fun.

Its probably the one thing that I would say is a flaw with the game.
I absolutely love Demons Souls.
Demon's Souls NG+ is brutal.
Easily the biggest difficulty step up out of any Souls game. Usually NG+ is a walk in the park for me.
This on the other hand is in a competition for the hardest Souls game I've played.
yep. if it plays like the original ng++ is either the smallest jump or just felt like it after finishing the brutal ng+

Finished NG+ and NG++, and got the Platinum.
