My PS4 got the Blue Light of Death, and I lost all my saves, including my DSIII characters. ProTip: back up your PS4 saves
Anyone else playing Remnant: From the Ashes? Even though it scales damage taken and received, it's pretty clearly intended to be played in multi-player given the boss fight mechanics. It's also pretty damn good at hitting that DS sweet spot of tough, borderline annoying sometimes, but always making you feel like you're getting better and will win next time.
I started it yesterday, then my controller died. So far it feels like a good evolution of the first one, no massive changes but a few little things that are cool, i.e. Burst counters, the new multi-segmented blade weapon style, and the new skill tree. I kinda miss playing as William, but the character creator is suitably robust. I haven't gotten to him (her?) yet, but the boss looks quite challenging.Nioh 2 beta starts tomorrow.
I definitely recommend it. There are a few boss fights that feel like BS at first, but they're all doable with enough practice. Several in particular have a really satisfying learning curve of FUCK ME NO WAY to hmm I'm getting it I think to hey that dude was a little bitch. The last boss is probably the best example. Very unique mechanics to the fight, and once you learn them and understand how to counter it, beating it is super satisfying.My brother is asking me to buy this game. He says it's a lot of fun, and is very souls likes.
Gonna pull the trigger Friday most likely.

Is the beta ps4 exclusive?
It is. And it's incredibly difficult. I beat Nioh on Way of the Strong and all of the DLC, and I've finished most of the games in the genre, but the N2 beta is just really really hard. Died over and over halfway through, and annoyingly. Stunned on the first hit, rest of the combo kills me.
Quick Google search suggests it's not just me, the difficulty balance is just off. I still love the basic gameplay but TN has to fix the balance before release.
Would Jedi: Fallen Order fit in this thread? This went completely under the radar for me, was thinking of getting it because it looks fantastic and I'm always down for original stories
This reminds me that I have to get Bloodborne GotY, never played the DLC and now that I'm off PS+ I have no access to the base game either.

You want the European one. I can't remember why, but I bought that one cause it had all the dlc on disc or something.
