Agreed I hated that first mob around the fire and could not get past it. Gave up and came back after Elden ring and loved it. Also dark souls, I said fuck it during zens fortress but eventually came back started again from scratch and really enjoyed it.

Had to try really hard to get into it but when it clicked, it clicked. Really enjoyed it but can't seem myself ever playing again

Yeah I am really enjoying it. Had a great year for soulslikes with lies of P and now this. I am playing on ps5 and performance is pretty good but framerate drops do happen and some areas are pretty rough. I don't really have any problem with the enemy placement except where I am currently stuck fighting 3 mini bosses and a bunch of dogs/ranged attackers in a row which is a bit much. I recently recently replayed all the souls games and think the comparison to ds1 is probably correct but its parry combat is closer to sekiro though not quite as snappy.

Totally agree, it is VERY influenced by the from games but also it's own thing and has extended the soulsborn/sekiro formula in an interesting way with a unique story. I am about an hour from finishing it and was looking at buying the add on but it's just a couple of items so no thanks. But I will totally buy the DLC. It's a fun game and imho the best of the From derivatives by far.

I loved the rest of the books, think it really picked up in the second and third and is great by the current one. I found it laugh out loud funny in places .I would highly recommend you continue with the series as they just get better and better .

No he hates being called Garry it’s a running joke with crowds at the dollop live shows.

Action park had me laughing so hard I couldn’t breath . Also it’s Garry
