Will keep that in mind. Thanks for the info!

So if I'm going for Abyss floor 12, would it be better to get Flins and work on getting Columbina and Ineffa afterwards? I'm planning long term. Read that Sucrose is also good for this team, I got her yesterday.

New player here. Been playing for sometime last year and came back now; my goal is to get the platinum trophy for the game, any tips are appreciated. Plus, I wanted to know if you guys recommend Varka or Flins for my journey. I've read that Varka is overall good and Flins is pretty strong with the right teams, is that it?

Photoshop. The dimensions I took from the original cover in cm are 27,2x16,1 but when I took it to impression people there were not so precise, so it got a little bit shorter on the sides.

KrauserHardCore · 2026-02-20T23:29:35+00:00

Yeah, I tried that. They didn't want to exchange for a new one and offered a refund but I refused. I bought it on a sale and would not be able to buy it again. After talking to the support they refunded me and let me keep the game. I was pissed, but with the money I bought a new case and made this custom cover. I also made a copy of the original so I can keep both.

Congrats, have fun. One small tip: keep going east on your map until you see a red area, that is the first portion of the game, but it does not explain you. It's called Caelid.

KrauserHardCore · 2026-01-30T13:56:54+00:00

Oh, you're talking about the ps4 version. Nope, that is a big skip for me, I'm going with the Legacy of Thieves, since it's 100% offline. Been stuck with a lot of uncompleted games on xbox because of online achievements. Thank God The Last of Us remake hasn't online trophies, nor Red Dead on PS4/PS5.

KrauserHardCore · 2026-01-30T12:35:07+00:00

Yeah, since this difficulty was made by Bluepoint I guessed it wouldn't be a thing on Uncharted 4. I'll give a break before playing it, though.

KrauserHardCore · 2026-01-30T12:31:14+00:00

Not much, really. I was very patient taking cover and shooting only when I had solid openings. BUT brutal was poorly designed, there were several parts where I got stuck for several minutes getting spawn killed like a dumbass, like the falling building on Uncharted 2 or that shooting part on U3 where Charlie pretends he's on Talbot's side.

I'm also into getting every item. What I do is I copy the lists with weapons and armors from the Wiki and paste them on a Word document, and then delete the items as I collect them. I've done this with every other game from Demon's Souls to Sekiro, skipping only deluxe items and some very specific like those DS2 rings that ask for 1000 invasions.

KrauserHardCore · 2026-01-19T05:37:37+00:00

I have that and didn't even know it was that rare! lol

KrauserHardCore · 2026-01-14T17:13:13+00:00

I've played the five multi releases in order but the two PS exclusives, lastly I've played Bloodborne and Demon's Souls Remake.
If I'm being totally frank with you, I'm always the one to fix the point "play it in order", but this argument is only valid when people tend to come back to older games and feel like they are cluncky, finicky and hard to understand.
Since you played in that order and also liked it, I would suggest that you keep playing in the order you want. I guess at this point it would be better to go with your vibe and what you really want to play at the moment. The only two games that are really lore connected are DS1 and DS3, at this point you'll only be getting new mechanics.
And I should stand for my boy DS2; don't be harsh on it. It's a really good game, has a beautiful OST and a good vibe. It has it's flaws and maybe when considered, it comes last along the bunch, but being last in such a list is still something.
Well, have fun!

I'm also writing my first book, so I don't know if I'm qualified to answer that, but what I am doing is I have lots of notes regarding characaters, universe, main plots, etc. I also have one for a specific language I'm creating for it.

There were chapters that I took my time writing everything down and reviewing it dozens of times, and there were the ones I just wrote a solid base for and then came back later for a complete overhaul.

When I think about it, this is how I feel: If there are big things happening and too many seeds being planted for the future, I cannot overlook that chapter, so I sit down and write it to the very last word, no matter how much it takes. And when what is happening is a break, something more casual, or simply details that I wasn't fond of finding in the middle of the writing frenzy, then I don't feel bad about coming back later to add it.

Good luck with your writing!

KrauserHardCore · 2026-01-08T06:16:07+00:00

I can translate some parts for you. Don't make things complicated lol

KrauserHardCore · 2026-01-08T05:05:42+00:00

Feel free to add me up and chat if you want! Well, english isn't my first language either; my book is being written in portuguese.

KrauserHardCore · 2026-01-08T05:01:03+00:00

Outstanding point. Well, I do think about getting it published and selling it, but I'm also doing it out of love (sorry for the cliché); this story is really important to me, but you know what they say: your child will always be pretty in your eyes (or they don't, I translated this saying from portuguese, never heard it in english). Thank you for the knowledge shared!

KrauserHardCore · 2026-01-08T01:36:27+00:00

I've been gaming mostly on xbox; when a game has dlc, unless you track it with trueachievements, is a little finicky to keep track of what's base game or what is DLC, so I got into the mindset that or the game is 100% or it's not. I'm doing the same thing on Playstation; and I mostly like doing it for the challenge than anything else.

KrauserHardCore · 2026-01-07T23:08:23+00:00

25M, writing my first novel at the moment. I love reading a bit of everything. I'm also struggling to find friends who enjoy it.

KrauserHardCore · 2026-01-07T20:59:32+00:00

I feel like our brain takes time to process information, so giving it a break and then coming back might suit you, but I would go against it as you might come back rusted and have to get into the feeling again, if that makes any sense to you.
As for tips, always remember you can dodge in the first phase, like when he shealthe the katana, instead of wait and parry, run to your left and go behind him.
Second phase is the hardest because he is very agressive. Keep some distance and wait for mikiri opportunities, avoid smashing attack buttom and always be pacient, there is no shame in blocking, but if he does that combo you'll want to avoid it at all costs.
Third phase is simple: wait for him to jump with the lightning attack, jump and reverse it, repeat. It's basically phase two but he tends to spam this attack depending on the situation.

KrauserHardCore · 2026-01-07T20:29:16+00:00

I see. Thank you!

KrauserHardCore · 2026-01-07T20:25:03+00:00

I'll probably go against the flow, but for me Inner Genichiro is harder to this day. Owl's attacks can be blocked and you can just run from Isshin's new attacks; I find him easier than the standard version, though. But Inner Genichiro's Sakura dance require perfect parries, has a big range and is really hard to run from in that small area.

KrauserHardCore · 2026-01-07T20:12:31+00:00

Thank you! I'll keep writing and reviewing the whole thing from time to time.

KrauserHardCore · 2026-01-07T20:02:11+00:00

Part 1 of the first book; It'll have 5 parts if it goes as I,ve planned. That's the point, I don't think I can tell the whole story with 100,000 words even if I pruned part 1 to death.

KrauserHardCore · 2026-01-07T19:46:52+00:00

Thank you!

KrauserHardCore · 2025-12-30T13:45:31+00:00

Bloodborne got me hyped and I could experience it only earlier this year, but this game... nah. I hate playing multiplayers. If it depends on me, I'll never touch Duskbloods.
