I've got my Colossal weapon (Dragon Greatclaw) up to +9 now and am rocking the full Radahn armour set so I'm in a good place build wise.
I'm going boss trophy hunting tonight so I can start whittling down the list.
With the addition of the whetstone knife and Ashes of War, there are an absolute tonne of different build variations you can go for.
I've played with some ridiculously OP magic users in Co-Op who seem to be able to one-shot bosses.
I'll definitely be going in a completely different direction with my next playthrough.
I think my plan now is to hold fire with the main story bosses and take a good look at the trophy guide. I need to get a feel for which storylines / secondary bosses / areas I've missed out on so far and give some of them a visit before the final push.
Not sure if I'll Platinum using this character or roll a new one but either way another playthrough will definitely be on the cards.
Just back.
Thought it was very good indeed. Had a very Noir feel and concentrating more on the detective side was a welcome change which harkens back to the early comics.
Lost a bit of focus in a few paces and I don't think Dano was utilised enough (great when he was) but apart from that really enjoyable.
Yes I completely agree about subsequent playthroughs. I will definitely go through it a few times more (I aim to get the Plat) but there's no way I'll be doing the same amount of run throughs as the other Soulsborne games.
It's too much of a different beast for that.
Well after a weeks worth of play and around 50 hours invested this is definitely in the conversation for my favourite game of all time.
It's not flawless and there are a few things I would definitely change, but overall its not so much as up my street, but rather it's sitting next to me in my living room having a glass of wine.
Incidentally, if there's any fans of Nosferatu that haven't seen the excellent Shadow of the Vampire then I highly recommend you do as its a brilliant accompany piece.
Tickets booked for Sunday morning - went with the 'Recliner' option because I doubt my old back could manage 3 hours otherwise
I've been excited about seeing this for a while now and it looks as though the hype may be deserved.
