@Popothats the one! I mean it’s not the friendliest jaunt (as you’ve probably discovered by now), but definitely more straightforward than going back up to the Depths!

@Popothere is another ascent, look for a different set of platforms to those you came down on. Edit - you can get up the way you came down but it’s exactly the hellish nightmare you would expect it to be.

I think I’ve fucked up. I freed Lautrec then beat the Gargoyles, then managed to aggro him at Firelink and now the bonfire has gone out. I’m onto Capra next but think Firelink was the easiest/fastest route to get to the fucking prick?

Possessor Uncut - 4/5 Sean Bean gets an opportunity to show off his poker face.

I really like it, such a gorgeous world to potter about in. Traversal is really fun, especially after upgrading your climbing and gliding skills. The puzzles are about my level (I’m not very smart), and the combat is engaging. I’m very early game (11 hours) but having a whale of a time!

I’ve been watching Bridgerton over the last couple of nights - it’s preposterous Downton Abbey style fluff, but it’s incredibly easy on the eye and not a terrible way to spend a slightly sloshed evening.

Anybody playing PS5 and patch 1.06? Just wondering if it’s resolved the frequency of hard crashes? Hard to believe I’m writing this about a AAA game, but such is 2020.

2 street cred levels away from those sweet, sweet mantis blades! Although I spent way too much last night on a legendary katana and it’s already going through fools like a hot knife through butter. Bit of a shame my guy looks like he’s just stumbled out of a Godskitchen all-nighter. The crashes are absolutely doing my head in - must have had 5 crashes to the Home Screen (ps5). Really knocks my enjoyment of the game as I’m constantly waiting for the next crash and saving far more often than I would be otherwise. Poor fucking show.

I’ve been pouring attribute and perk points into Reflexes and Blades (and a few into Cold Blood) and at level 10 with a green level Katana I’m pulling a Kill Bill in every combat situation I run into, limbs and heads flying everywhere, bloody brilliant fun!

At the ripperdoc? What did you go for - crazy mantis blade or sawn off shotty implant?

I think my char was power level 1050 but still got one shotted and enemies were immune. Could be a gear issue? I’ve forgotten how it all works to be honest.

Awesome, thanks, sounds ideal. Shame Bungie didn’t highlight that clearly.

Hmm, feeling a bit beleaguered with this. Can’t remember the last time I played, might have been a couple of years. Loaded up the game and it pulled up my two old characters and popped a shitload of trophies. I got dropped onto an ice planet where I got one-shotted by a group of flying drone type enemies. Then I turned it off. It all looked very nice though. What’s the best way to get back into the game after a long hiatus? I’m not precious about keeping my old characters. Is there a fresh start option?

I suck so fucking hard at this. Any recommended settings for getting a more arcadey feel?
