Update: Selling SB, don't want to wait. Just so happen that a carousell user deathshadow liked my post. Is that you @Deathshadow ???

Just beaten SB and got the secret ending. I only knew about it after reading online. Waiting out for the incoming updates next week to see what it is before selling. Come to think of it again - it feels like they are going to announce a Figurine. That photo they twitted seems like a physical item.

I've taken a hiatus since, after 300+ hours - left with only Malenia and the Final Boss.

Director Miyazaki also said that the SOTE DLC entry point is at the cocoon with the protruding hand in Mohgwyn Palace, i.e must defeat Mohg first. 1 month left.......

Overindulgence and I tried to finish every sidequest/dungeon I chanced upon, beat every mini-boss and access anything which was previously unaccessible etc. It doesn't matter if I'm deviating from the main quest. Explore at my own pace and have that sense of discovery. Of course, some couple of extra hours clocked due to multiple retries from tougher bosses. I beat every mini-boss and boss without the use of spirit summon except at Mohg which I tried to see if it can make it much easier and I accidentally killed it. I think he is the ONLY one I used spirit summon on. Maliketh was a tough nut to crack, need to zhun zhun counter at the right time towards at the end, tough, adrenaline rush but very very satisfying when I'm finally done.

Then, of course Malenia. Her 1st phase is actually ok except for her insane, almost undodge-able sword dance. Tried a couple of times then just put on hold, move on to other games. So it should be best Malenia first, fight the dragon boss using something to get a specific ending then fight the final boss to get the last ending. Something like that, need to check again, it's been a while.

Yeah, you can tell right, overindulgence. 😅😅

P.S. Thought I've played all the Soulsborne games (FromSoft), I am still just an average player, maybe that's why so many hours??? But I'm loving it, who cares. 😂

Why not use spirit summon since its part of the game? I recall that summons were not the only stuff thats OP, many things were nerfed into the ground later on, stuff like moonveil was so stupidly OP before it was nerfed, bloodhound step was also very dumb before it was nerfed.

Just an extra challenge for myself. Like during Ghost of Tsushima, I got this crazy idea to try to fight the final boss without any charms etc equipped to see if it's manageable. Basically Jin is in his fundoshi, charmless lol. And I was playing the highest difficulty (lethal mode I think)

Uncensoring the 2 costumes I hope. But more likely is boss rush mode.

I just reached eidos 9.

You're right, that's my Carousell account 😆

Stellar Blade looks good with rave reviews but I'm not paying full price for it, especially with a huge backlog. Still haven't played GOW Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2 etc. All of which I bought day one. There's also Returnal, R & C: Rift Apart, TLOU 1 Remake, HFW etc. So many games, but very little time.

I'll probably just wait out & buy SB next year, by then it'll likely drop to half price.

SB completed with true ending over here. NG+ to platinum later on.

After
democrawler
fight, game proceeds very fast towards the conclusion.
Not sure if the pacing and storytelling and dialogue was optimal here (did not seem polished and some parts were illogical or downright don't know what they are talking about).

But, still a AAA game nonetheless.

So, Eve becomes an AndroidEidos-ElderNaytiba hybrid which is supposed to be the best possible evolution of humans (of which there are none remaining at all) and this is going to save humanity. So, she is just going to have to have children to repopulate the earth? How? What happened to all of Mother Sphere's warships which she brought in at the end to kill Eve? They just disappeared after Eve takes out the infantry? Raven is still alive, what happened to her? After demogorgon boss fight, it is outright said that Eve has spent all of her body cell's energy to fire the rail gun so many times. But, shortly after, she appears 100% fine? I can only assume she was recharged fully by the Exosuit but that was never mentioned at all.

Raven works for Adam. So, at the beginning of the game, we can infer that Adam ordered Raven to take out Tachy and turn her into an Alpha Naytiba? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Just sharing for those who are interested in Soulslike games. This game currently has an 8-hour long demo! Not sure if this is a less conservative estimation from the dev. I'm just one hour into it, not bad, however, there are some minor stuttering and cam issues albeit not game breaking.

after platinum for SB, i intend to play P3P and then metaphor.

Latest patch also added in very similar (not exactly same) suits to the 2 censored suits and they made them uncensored. :)

But anyway, most people I think using raven suit in NG+ cuz......

I guess this is their way of going around Sony.
