Nearing the end of DS2. Have the final zone to go (Throne of Want), Darklurker (I don't remember if I fought him last time), and then DLC.
My God there's an insane amount of gear and optional stuff in this game!

I'm pretty interested in checking out AC6 at some point. It's sounding pretty good.

Well, of all Souls games ... that may have been the biggest kick in the balls.
Fudging invaded enroute to Aldia, got cheese dicked, and lost 225k souls ... great way to roll into end game pre-DLC's.

That was a blast going back to that years later! Love that armor set.

Wow, sooo ... DS2, was pretty damn easy the whole way through. Got to the first DLC ... and it really steps up the game! I'm questioning my whole build at this point!

I remember rolling into the DS2 DLC for the very first time at like level 240 something. Pure magic user. And getting my ass handed to me by every single enemy. I couldn't do any damage, and everything was 1-2 hitting me. I had to go respec into a pure melee build. I also remember having the exact same experience with the DS3 DLC as well.

DS3 DLC was awesome, but on my replay as I was pure melee and it was pretty easy.
In DS2 I'm hybrid (hex + melee). After I got situated, it got better, but still much more challenging. I do debate rerolling heavy strength, gonna keep pushing though. Haven't had a lot of time.
Still, I have no idea how the dlcs rank. I think I'm in sunken king? The one with all the poison mobs and ghosts. Made it to a boss this morning, died twice, hopefully revisit tonight.
I'm just glad this is actually a challenge. Hoping maybe I can upgrade change gear at some point. Been rocking the same setup for too long.

Release order was pyramid /caverns (sunken king), fire (iron king) ice (ivory king)
The first one was the hardest for me by far. Lots of ranged to get through it easier. Layout of the areas was confusing and often labyrinthine. Quite a few optional bosses too.

Yah I'm in Sunken then. There's tons of small areas, been trying to navigate all of them but found myself running through a bit too. The ghosts are dickheads. I made it the boss at the bottom of a bunch of platforming... Crap what was her name (I'm at the hospital with the kiddo). She summons skeletons and another big dude. Got her down to about 10%.

Iron King DLC way easier/quicker.
I thought for sure Fume Sword was gonna be one more weapon to use ... but nope, doesn't seem to be that great. Gdamnit, feels like I've been rocking the same gear for more than half the game. Hard to change it out, especially with so little left in the game.
- Dark Sunset Staff + 5 / Dark Silverblack Spear + 10 / Dark Crypt Blacksword + 5
- Defender's Shield (debating swapping for King's Shield) / Dragonriders Bow / Lightning Bow of Want
--- Haven't upgraded the bows, really just use them for pulls and/or poison procs.
- Black hood (recently got Chaos Hood, may swap and upgrade)
- +10 on Lion Mage set
I've picked up so many awesome weapons, traded in tons of boss souls ... but this combo just works. I debate swapping out the Crypt Blacksword for something with more reach (Fume UGS maybe), but the thing just hits like a tank ...
Ah well, almost done, might as well just plow through and stop worrying about gear.

Wow, Sir Alonne (Iron King DLC) - by far hardest boss in game! I'm feeling really poorly specc'd for this fight!

I'm finally playing the Demon's Souls remake. It is good.
I played through it, and then dipped back to the PS3 game. I think I like the original music a lot better ("worse" but more memorable), but it's pretty incredible how these games feel just about identical.

I probably turned the music off for both (I do this with all games), so didn't notice that.
Yeah, I was impressed how it was the same game, but much nicer looking.
I played the Dark Souls remaster after Demon's remake and it was just the same game without looking nicer.

In general, very impressive game presentation. A few of the fun quirks of the original being missing aside, definitely a nice standard for remasters. One of the reasons I like the re-polishes of stuff like Quake (just finished for the first time the other day) and Diablo is that they take the literal "just polish it up" take, but stuff like D2 Remaster and DeS PS5 when handled properly are totally solid. As opposed to the GTA Trilogy re-crap.
DS Remake seemed more like it was done to get the framerates up for the masses, the much smoother presentation was definitely welcome, but I can appreciate that too, price being appropriate. I think DS was mostly fine as is, just sorta stuck on bad platforms and not running very well, which is mostly fixed now.

This actually got me interested in seeing how nice I could get DeS looking on PC, turns out pretty good.

Well, since I can't get to my DS2 save on the Ally, decided to start DSR.
Wow, the memories coming back! Again, haven't played since release, never did DLC. I always think I've completely forgotten games, but as soon as you're back to it, it's like riding a bike.
Hate that you can't fast ascend/descend ladders.

Pretty sure you can fast ascend/descend. Hold the run button+up or down.
Also pretty sure it also doesn't have Cloud Saves
