@TheBrandedSwordsman Hey! Sorry, I was having some technical difficulties 😅 I consider Demons Souls a masterpiece but am by no means remotely an expert on it. Honestly, it’s probably the Souls game I’m least familiar with as far as builds and the light/dark mechanic and all of its idiosyncrasies go. Really love it though! A few of the bosses do have very specific strategies (or even weapons) to defeat them, so you may want to keep that in mind.

I’m about 3/4 of the way through Final Fantasy mode on Final Fantasy XVI. I wouldn’t call it a masterpiece but the 140+ hours I have into it speak to how much I absolutely love the game! Been thinking of jumping into Armoured Core VI when it releases but we’ll see.

Omg, a Granblue Fantasy Relink banner ad at the top of Push Square… it’s actually happening! 😱

@colonelkilgore it’s a good time to be a JRPG fan.
Btw Colonel I saw that you and the captain played Blasphemous (1). Worth playing?
PS Access put up a livestream of the second game & it looks brilliant.

Might just jump into that if it’s a self contained story otherwise I’ll play the first game.

@Fight_Teza_Fight it is indeed.

I actually haven’t played Blasphemous as of yet, I do own it though so maybe that’s why I came up as ‘also played this’ on PSN. For what it’s worth, I do think that I’ll really like it though, I’ve become a pretty big fan of metroidvanias this last year or so and the aesthetic of Blasphemous looks incredible. If you do play it definitely tag me with your thoughts 👊

@colonelkilgore The second game looks incredible from the stream. The last boss fight they showed looked like something straight out of Bloodborne. I’ve downloaded it, but coming off Death’s Door I might sit on it for a bit.
Will let you know my thoughts when I get to it!

@Fight_Teza_Fight Get onto Blasphemous, it’s brilliant!

@nessisonett Will do. Got it downloaded now, but going to let a week or so pass after Death’s Door. Probably very different games, but they seem to invoke a similar feeling.

@Fight_Teza_Fight I second that! Loved the world and enemy designs. I've not played Death's Door, but I think Blasphemous is more platformy.

As a tennis fan I'm looking forward to the US Open starting tomorrow. A bit gutted Sky has got the coverage this year (In UK) as I can't see how their coverage can be as good as Prime who do a great job of having live coverage of every single game to watch whenever you want.

@BearsEatBeets Ive no interest in the tennis, but I like how with Prime you can continue watching a match on a tablet or similar if you are away from the TV. I believe with NOW TV you need a separate subscription to the mobile service.

@JohnnyShoulder Their tennis coverage and how good it is, is a big reason for why I continue to subscribe. Similar to when they have the football, it's all so easy to use. Fortunately I have Sky Sports but I don't find their app (or desktop player) as intuitive or impressive to use when I'm not watching the main channels through my Virgin box.
