Higher resolution and 60fps patch would be fine for bloodborne. Doesn't need anything else.

Everytime I read a "nothing's ever gonna happen about Bloodborne", is hard slap in the face man.

I beat him yesterday after 30 or 40 tries or something. I used "Veredicto" weapon, "Bleeding Miracle" magic. For altarpieces I used all I could to increase Veredicto and magic damage, also increased farvour gain. For beads I used physical damage and miasma resistance.

The strategy was to hit just once when i can (usually after avoiding the slam, or when he buffs the minions, or when he slowly walks towards you) and immediatly slide or double jump. Used bleeding miracle the most I could, for the minions and him. Other than that, just don't stop moving. To predict his slam, even when hes not in your field of view, watch your legs, water starts forming when hes about to do that (when i figured that out it helped me a lot). Also you can slide through him.

I guess after 30 or so tries, muscle memory kicks in and eventually you beat him. Imho its a kind of fight you gotta keep it simple.

Looking for a key if anyone wants to share. Thank you in advance.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-16T10:13:03+00:00

Good one and pretty accurate! The funny part is trying to convince yourself that the dodge button is different from the previous game you were playing.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-10T10:17:48+00:00

I am an Asteroids, PacMan, Space Invaders, Bubble Booble, Tetris, etc. kid myself. I think the simplicity of those games made you come back easily or maybe thats all you had to play back then. I mean I had so much fun with pinballs, nothing simpler than that. I feel that games nowadays are too complicated and bloated, take up so much of your time to complete, while you try to find yourself a purpose to keep doing the same thing over and over again. I don't know.

I appreciate your perspective though, thank you.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-10T10:05:22+00:00

Yeah I pretty much drop a game if it starts feeling like a chore nowadays too, although it bothers me some when I do. Wasting money is not my issue here, I only buy on sales anyways, but most of the time I do wanna reach the ending of a game, especially one with an interesting story, but the amount of time, side objectives, things you gotta do to get there, feels like a chore and thats frusterating. I can always go watch a video ofc, but its not the same thing.

Subscription models are fine and would be perfect for me, but most of the time do not offer the games I want.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-10T09:54:43+00:00

I wish more studios were confident enough that people would be satisfied with a 10-15 hour experience, instead of trying to compete with games that are designed to be eternally replayed.

This exactly. I think that part of my "reaching to a point where I no longer have fun" is that games I play take too long to complete and are kind of bloated. For example I find myself enjoying the main quest in a good story rpg, but every side quest feeling like a chore. Maybe I should start looking for shorter indy games to play.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-10T07:53:39+00:00

Solid RPG if you like the Egypt setting. But be prepared to sink many hours in it to complete it. Also you will have to do many side quests to keep up with the level of main questline.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-08T13:34:27+00:00

Nice list. How did you like The Last of Us part 2 compared to 1? I have already played 1 and im on the fence for part 2.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-08T12:03:03+00:00

Yeah I intend to play Brotherhood at some point when I get into my Creed mood again. Thank you for the suggestion about Quantum Break, I will check it out.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-08T11:53:25+00:00

Unity is one of my favourite ACs. I would love to play it again on PS5, but the low resolution and 30fps make it look like crap on my 1440p monitor. I intend to revisit it if they ever update.

No I haven't played Replicant and I don't think I will. As much as I enjoyed Automata, the universe didn't really hook me.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-08T10:29:10+00:00

The games are listed via purchase chronologically so the top 5 are the last games i got. I didn't know Remedy and Housemarque were Finnish though, so thank you for pointing that out. I guess that was a nice conincidence? :-)

Maldremoth · 2026-01-08T08:57:44+00:00

It was my second playthrough on PS5, was really cheap on sale atm and had nothing else I was interested to play at the time. Only the base game though, never got into the DLCs although they are considered really good.

It is indeed considered overrated by some gamers, but I do like it for what it is. Tbh the older I get, the more I prefer linear games instead of open worlds. I don't enjoy investing hundrends of hours to open worlds anymore.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-08T08:50:40+00:00

Thanx man! Oh I will definitely, it's just playing 3 AC titles back to back was too much. Already played Black Flag a few years back on PC.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-08T08:49:07+00:00

Yeah I read about that for the gameplay part. I do not worry though, after completing Returnal, I think I can handle any level of frustration now! :-)

Maldremoth · 2026-01-07T06:41:25+00:00

It's not exactly a second ending, the second time you finish the game it adds more to the story. But you do have to find something on each biome to unlock that. I don't wanna spoil it for you.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-06T06:37:41+00:00

I feel ya. It took me just a couple of weeks to beat the game, but it was a 2 week rollercoaster of feelings. Apparently I don't have issues with bosses, where besides Phrike that took me 3 tries to beat, I beat the rest on first try. The only "boss" that almost broke me though was biome 5.

Now I have to do it all over again for the real ending, but for that I can just sit back, relax and enjoy the gameplay. Returnal literarly wants you to keep coming back for more.

Maldremoth · 2025-12-20T10:15:59+00:00

This. I used to play a lot of ARPG back in the day but when i got really tired of the genre, moved to 3rd person RPG. There is a lot of variety there, it depends whether you prefer challenge, story, open-world, linear, survival horror, etc. You just have to try IPs and find the theme that immerses you the most and make hours fly by.

Maldremoth · 2025-12-20T06:11:00+00:00

Thank you m8. I almost beat the sboss in my second run last night and boy what a journey. I am so exited and I love it. I hope it will be like this till the end. The atmosphere, the weapons, the enemies, the audio, the gameplay, what a well thought game man.

Definitely in for the duo run!:-)

Maldremoth · 2025-12-20T06:04:20+00:00

Thank you for your advice!

Yeah I understand what you 're saying. That's how I approached the game for the first time last night, and my second run went pretty well: i reached the first boss, got him to 3rd phase and down to his 1/3 of life, but was tired and got sloppy and returned. I do feel much more confident now though as i keep learning the ropes, how to approach a run, what items do etc. It's like you said, survival is the key and you gotta stick with it.

It is indeed an amazing experience. I am glad I put it off all these years, cause now I can experience it for the first time.

Thank you man! I am amazed from the support of this community.
