Second boss (scourge lady something or another)... Was she supposed to do basically nothing? That may be one of the worst/easiest bosses in a soulslike.

That is a mini boss. You'll fight a lot of those. Its not a full boss unless you get a memory to flay after with a remembrance item. And they start with a cutscene.
I think you can also summon an NPC at every major boss as well. And you can not at a mini.

Level 30, don't want to stop playing. Definitely better than lies of P as of now.
The occasional performance issues do suck, but they're pretty infrequent.

So I played some. I definitely like it better than Lies of P, but enemies aggro way too easily and never give up chasing you. Pretty annoying. You also can't get hit climbing ladders. Parry window is way better than Lies. Blocking mechanic is interesting. But so far the main gripe is enemy aggro. You can not get anywhere near some enemies and somehow they know where you are.

You can get hit on ladders- by spells etc. it’s fun.
Still feels like a sloggy mess imo. The areas are so convoluted and enemy placement is cheesey. I’m probably 75% through now. It’s gotten a bit tiresome and I’m considering putting it aside for a bit. Too much souls like this month and I’m not really having fun with this one so far.

I heard the checkpoint bonfire thingies are few and far between but I just watched a Fightin’ Cowboy video and it didn’t look that way at all. Looked like lots of bonfire warp points. I may get it on a Black Friday sale perhaps.

The permanent checkpoints are pretty far apart. You can use an item- expensive to buy and uncommon to find- that’s lets you set a single temporary bonfire. It adds to the risk reward and there a ton of nodes you can place them at- but often you walk around the corner and find a shortcut to the actual safe haven. It’s a pretty cool mechanic later on.

And in NG+ the temporary one that you can only have one of at time, is all you get. I say one at time because when you place a new one, the last one you placed vanishes. And the max you can have in your inventory at one time is 5. So, that adds a whole new level of frustration and micro management to the game.

And they cost like 3500. Fun grind. Can combine it with a weapon upgrade grind I guess.

I seem to be worse at parrying in LotF than I was in P.
Man I don't want to stop playing. Having a damn good time. Hit 3 on the umbral meter, my God I got wrecked.
Reading the last few comments, I knew burning those temp bonfires was prob a bad idea. Really cool mechanic though.
Red lanterns are a great idea as well.
I do hate how the bigger swords just lunge you around. I've fallen off ledges multiple times because of it. Now I find myself doing an R2 poke more often than not.

The targeting will get you more than the mobs. Sometimes random mobs just cannot be targeted until they see you / take damage etc. it’s frustrating.

Oofff, 330? Ha, I called it at 1 and I'm already hating myself this morning. I hate that I can't stay up late and play as easily as I used to. Getting old sucks.

I messed around the save spot last night with the red eyed sword dude near a ladder.

Performance is definitely tanking during Pieta. A lot.
It does, but I barely noticed on PS5 to be honest. Because on the X it slowed to a crawl during that fight. So the dips I was seeing now I hardly noticed, lol. Same with when I got back to the swamp. It dipped, but then I chuckeled when I noticed. Because at least it wasn't 2fps.

Yeah, I'm definitely noticing it but maybe when I go back I'll level up a bit. Got close a couple of times too. Trying to parry kill for the most part.

Also for everyone, make sure you have your consoles level HDR settings turned off. Turning this off really improves performance of the game. And most games actually, because most devs are crap at HDR. And in the game settings, make sure its on performance and that the three settings below are set to off, motion blur, film grain and chromatic. This really improves the FPS of the game.

I feel like mine is running pretty smooth. I don’t usually get too concerned about occ small FR drops though. I don’t even notice tbh. I guess mega man ruined me.

What is everyone's opinion of the jump in this game? I think its bad. Its like you hit a wall and don't go far enough. Its very odd. I died a whole bunch trying to figure out the range of it early on. I don't miss judge jumps that often now, but it still feels off to me.

It sucks because you have to use it a few times. I wish it was not a thing.
