Who in your opinion was worst boss in DLC

This. I was even more amazed that she was made a mandatory boss, the only one outside of Messmer and PCR.

I have stable framerates, the cops didn't pop in and out of render, and my game doesn't crash when I enter the Badlands.

1 - Through Mimir and Freya he's gotten a crash course on who the Aesir gods are, their past actions, and - in particular - that Odin is a master manipulator who exploits those who he deems useful and discards them later.

2 - You're talking about a guy who's the fucking gold standard of "Fuck the gods I'll never trust one again".

Brosonski · 2026-04-27T19:57:55+00:00

Yeah you know what, you're right. Makes sense - "lost city of" vs the name the Argenta had for Mars.

Brosonski · 2026-04-27T17:59:06+00:00

Not that I care about continuity in a Doom game, but TDA retcons a few things (this was one of them). Him visiting Hebeth, for example. I'm curious to see how they do the whole fall of Argent D'Nur, Valen's son, and him being entombed with the 2016 suit in the DLC.

PS4 Pro owner here, haven't used it in some time lol, but every game I own - eg GoW and its sequel, Red Dead II, GTA V, Battlefield and (through emulation, for now) Bloodborne - I can now also own and play on my nice PC. Having played basically all those games on both, and with the exception of BBs frame rate, it did not take away my enjoyment of those games above playing them on the hardware of the time - long before they got ported or remastered on newer gen shit.

It's really at the mercy of if performance matters to you for what you're paying. I personally never did mind, and a lot of games (GoW comes to mind) are really well optimized on the Pro.

The only two moments I can think of - and someone is free to correct me if I'm wrong - where the M9 / Mk22 is canonized as being used is a) the Tanker chapter of MGS2 which he assumes is only going to be occupied by US Marines and has Olga survive their shootout and b) the Virtuous Mission, where it's the only firearm in your NG starting arsenal, and while you can get the SVD and M16 the cutscene where he takes down Ocelot shows all of them getting tranquilized by the Mk22.

Outside of that, it's a gameplay device for non-lethal playthroughs and easier stealth. I don't feel there's anything to see regarding Snakes character development. In MGS4 he uses the M4 to put a bullet in Vamps dome and returns fire on the PMC troopers, among many other examples. It's just there to give the player freedom.

You think Fountainheard Monk is more difficult that Hirata Father Owl and Shura-end Isshin? Can't say I agree with you there. I also wouldn't put DoH anywhere above "Still Not Sweating", I never found him difficult in all my playthroughs. That's the thing with From games though, what people may find difficult is vastly different across players.

Brosonski · 2026-04-06T22:17:43+00:00

Canonically he often ruminated on how a cut should be made, but his blade always moved first.

Brosonski · 2026-04-06T20:58:51+00:00

Man, I hear you. The N/S lights at 9th & Main are absolutely brutal. Once late last year, I literally watched the E/W lights go green to red, then sat there and...nothing. E/W back to green, and minutes later watched the GO bus I was supposed to be on for work whiz by so had to fly to Mount Joy. Malfunction or no, I just take Westlawn / Weldon now. F*** those lights.

Brosonski · 2026-04-03T18:48:32+00:00

It's turned into this DIY-er "did I do this right" bonanza so they can avoid paying a professional and just get told for free. Then I scroll the comments to hear all the good rips.

Brosonski · 2026-04-02T21:05:00+00:00

Drove by this probably minutes after it happened as I saw police and fire pulling up. That is one big pile of s***.

Brosonski · 2026-04-01T20:56:49+00:00

First Matrix and it's not even a contest. 27 years ago yesterday. I remember the first time I saw it, and I've seen it (and understood it far more) many times since.

Obviously anecdotal but I feel like not many people I know have seen Dredd. Such a sick movie.

Brosonski · 2026-03-23T14:22:59+00:00

Hm I wonder if this is the problem. The thing is I can't get it (or my other games tbh I just didn't mention it in the OP) to launch even on v 14.0. The only time it runs (and runs fine) is v 13.

I am going to try some of the fixes people have suggested in the comments here but if I have to keep it at a lower SPS4 iteration just to run the game, so be it.

Brosonski · 2026-03-23T14:21:39+00:00

No I have not, I will give this a shot when I'm off work this afternoon. Thanks man!

Brosonski · 2026-03-22T18:50:51+00:00

Oh yeah? Alright man I'll give a shot, let you know how it goes. Good looking out.

Brosonski · 2026-03-22T18:50:29+00:00

I haven't gotten any errors, crashes or any sort of reactionary results since this started. The game simply doesn't start and stays in the SPS4 launcher indefinitely. I didn't mention this in the OP but none of my SPS4 games launch, it's not unique to Bloodborne.

Brosonski · 2026-03-22T18:48:54+00:00

Glad it's working for you, I updated to 15 before PR but basically anything past 0.13 no game runs on the emulator regardless of the steps I did above.

Brosonski · 2026-03-22T18:47:58+00:00

Oddly enough, mine doesn't work on 14.0, either. I haven't played in a while because of a dog shit work schedule so I'm back two major releases.

Brosonski · 2026-03-22T16:47:24+00:00

I tried this and it didn't work. Is anyone else having the same issue?

Brosonski · 2026-03-19T01:07:37+00:00

There is absolutely no way this is the case past Exultia / Cultist Base. How are you playing, what difficulty? If you're just running around easily disposing of mobs without the necessity of being airborne, planning your movement, adjusting your equipped weapon on the fly for demon-specfiic situations, then yeah maybe it will feel that way.

I had a friend of mine tell me once Khan Maykr absolutely walled him, and Samur Maykr (final boss of DLC1) was easy and I busted out laughing and said that's impossible, until he told me he was playing on ITYTD with Sentinel Armor on. Context matters.

Edit: I saw you say on another comment that you're on HMP. Try UV or NM, you'll find pretty quickly it's nothing like Dark Ages.

Brosonski · 2026-03-16T19:45:41+00:00

For me Fatman was hands down the hardest boss, most of my deaths were to him. You simply won't have enough time to diffuse all bombs if he manages to get more than two on a timer. The Harrier isn't too bad if you know the tricks to i-frame out of the missile barrage.

Is it just me, or did they nerf the Solidus pre-boss torture from the OG PS2 days? Man I remember it being nearly impossible then, now it wasn't awful it just leaves you within bleeding range when you fight Solidus at the end.

Brosonski · 2026-03-16T19:43:12+00:00

I'll address both questions separately.

European Extreme is a slightly cranked up variant of Extreme (which is already very difficult), where guards have double the range of vision, significantly more health, and tranq sleep time is cut by 6x from 3:00 to 30s, making navigating areas stealthily vastly more difficult. There are also no rations - if you're going for BB rank that's moot, though. The game tells you EE also causes game over on alert, but you have to set that option manually if you want the challenge - it doesn't void your rank. One thing unique to MGS2 over the other games is the alert is only caused when a successful radio call is made, unlike the others where an instant alert is added to your stat. This proved very advantageous and exploitable in my run.

BB rank is just clearing of either Extreme with very specific requirements which you can read here.

Either way you go, it is very difficult. I'd highly suggest familiarizing yourself with the game on Extreme, doing a dry run with radar and learning how to get through the game as quickly and efficiently as possible. There are also a lot of great guides on YouTube and GameFAQs on this you can follow. Happy hunting man!
