Slowly but surely getting a few mins here and there ... in chapter VIII. The Scythe is just wrecking everyone, it's a bit overpowered, especially with the charge attack from a distance.

It reaches through and around walls. And if you fire it oh my gawd.

I played more Lies of P. Genuinely don't get why people are acting like it's the best non From Software souls like. I don't think it's awful but I don't think it's great. Put in a little over 5 hours and I'm done. Mortal Shell and Thymesia are way better.
Well, I do know one reason I don't like it. It genuinely is trying to force a story.
Gameplay is still meh.... Perfect Guards are way too hard to do.
How long to beat says 25-50+ so I'm just gonna stop here and call it quits.

The game was pretty heavily nerfed. Not sure why- but bosses are a bit easy with a summon now. The first 3 levels you are a bit too bare bones. It actually gets easier and way more fun as you earn the skills.
Thymesia I’d love more of. Wish that was longer.

29 hours, L76, half way into Chapter IX. The game is quite good. Kommie scared me away from it originally, not sure why you dislike it so much.
Lots of different mechanics that give a bit more to the genre. Story I am not following nor care about it. Combat is interesting and you have lots of options to vary it up. Difficulty is a bit low, especially with throwables. Fair amount of build diversity possible. Atompshere and sounds are really well done.
Overall, I'm happy with it. Question if I'll be done in time this week for Lords of Fallen. Probably the best game pass game I've played so far. Ended up buying a Deluxe copy for the collection.

It's not awful, but I just don't want to continue it. I cashed in some work rewards for a $50 gift card and pre ordered Lords of the Fallen at Best Buy. I like all the previews I've seen for that one.

So what am I missing with Lies of P? Game wants you to perfect guard but it needs to be perfect. Red Attacks also need to be perfect. All attacks are so random and janky. I'm still using the starting weapon too.

You can upgrade to a double dodge that makes perfect guard not necessary. Get the puppet string left hand and upgrade it. Consider using a boss weapon. They are all pretty OP relatively. Use your consumables and grinder. Unfortunately the first 3-4 bosses just suck because you have to grind them out and have nothing special - not sure how they are post patch.

Honestly, I rarely perfect guard ... dodge/block is plenty good. Every now and then I'm like "oh yeah, I can do that". It's honestly not needed, but definitely helps with uptime and effeciency. The double dodge is absolutely awesome and helps quite a bit, especially early on.
Did you roll str/dex? The starting dex weapon I rocked for quite a bit. Didn't switch until I got the boss Etiqutte weapon - and that didn't last long (probably wasn't even needed) as the Salamander dagger + acid handle is a beast early to mid'ish (and still relevant later for farming and certain mobs).
The weapon selection is surprisingly large once you get going. I ended up putting everything away except my primary two dex weps (scythe + twin dragons) and two elemental weapons (salamander dagger + baton).

I couldn’t use the twin dragons very well. Tried for a bit but the fable arts are awkward.

Dude, it's insane ... it's been my primary since I got it. I'm still at +4, waiting for another full moon. I switch to the Scythe for elites to do ranged charged, but sans that, the Twin Dragon is a beast.
Agreed, the fable arts aren't the best, but they have their place. I tend to switch to Scythe to blow my fables.

36 hours (at least 5+ spent calming our new kid and putting the controller down) L89, think I'm right about at the end. Always a bitter sweet time in a game. Stoked I'll be done before Lords though!
Feeb, you did two full play throughs of this? Gdamn man, how do you have the time! Anything worthwhile on NG?

I got platinum ps4 and 5. I was on vacation so I played a little nightly- and it’s a speed run after you know it.
NG opens level 6 quartz upgrades. NG++ has level 7.

You can. After you open the respec and at the beginning of NG runs. You can open any of them at any time too. So you can still grab it.

You can respec at the gold coin tree after Malum district / chapter V. Interact with the tree then leave the controller idle for about 5 seconds- a new menu pops up. Once this tree is open you can access it from the hotel anytime.
You can also use the statue in the locked room at the end of chapter VII. There is a stargazer in this room so you can warp anytime here after tagging it.

Yah I didn't understand what the second place was for when you can just use the tree?
