Dark Souls 3 progress:

Decided to head to the Deep Cathedral. Took a sharp right at the cemetery entrance to collect a lot of goodies outside the cathedral. Was hoping to find a shortcut, but it was just a drop through a window back to the bonfire...

Is there any way to stop those skeletons from respawning? Right now I just sprint through them and try to not get hit, picking up items on the way. Made it to the fat lady on the balcony, but she got me good! :D

Downloaded Life if Strange (the first one) last night and will make a start on it this evening.
Read good things so looking forward to it.
 
I am to choose some gaming hours at home next few days.

Some progress hopefuly with Tekken 7 single mode, though cant stop playing online mode.

Next ps4 game purchase got to be GT Sport -think I’m past endurance race years!

That passage right there was the reason I put DS3 away for a good time :D (not that hard but bonfires aren't exactly nearby..). Skip the skeletons by dropping down from near the well next to the cathedral and use the ladder in the tower. Saves you at least a minute running past the graveyard..

Had to pause lately a bit but had an awesome run through half of Irithril + Irithril Dungeon up to Profaned City...talk about fear for your life soul(s) as I was anticipating the boss fight...
There is none
.

What level are you btw?

No those Skeletons just spawn. But you don't have to actually go that way if you find the shortcut and unlock an elevator ;)
 
Are any of you playing Dark Souls 3 on Xbox? I've been replaying it this week, rushing through the areas/bosses to get all the bonfires unlocked so I can help others with bosses just for fun.

Level 35 or something, I think? Out of tow right now, I'll check next week. Around 8k souls to level up...
 
Hmm..think I was in my early Lv.40s when I hit that area (although I did Farron Keep before). But also do/did some grinding here and there - but that's imho not necessarily a boring thing as I also practiced and tested my gear that way as a complete Form Soft noob!

I also have to admit that I was quite stingy with my souls :D so whenever I had a good bunch from a decent run I was too afraid to lose 'em so I grinded a bit to get the needed amount. Also all those fancy trousers have to be paid for by someone (me) as well!

Bought Metroid Samus Returns for the 3DS yesterday. I'm only couple hours into it and I already think it's the best one ever. I still have most if not all of the 2D Metroid game cartridges, Metroid Fusion, Super Metroid, etc. Super Metroid was my previous favorite.

This is a must have for 3DS owners! I've got so much stuff here just so little time to play with it all :mad::(:) I'll be concentration on Samus Returns, though being the OCD completionest that I am it drives me insane seeing an item yet I know I can't reach it until much later in the game lol, such has always been the case with Metroid. Love it :D

Was playing on 3DS:

Hyperlight EX
Lifespeed (Hello, Sony? Wipeout VR? :eek:)
NightSky (so, so, incredibly awesome in 3D compared to a PC copy)
Proun+

Last night - downloaded Robonauts on Switch. Another awesome game (but suffers from "too small texts" on mobile mode).

Was checking out multiplayer on Mass Effect Andromeda PC (1080p/60fps goodness) - I can see why the price is still high as the Multiplayer is fun.

Then my Amazon package arrived - Metroid Samus Returns..

O....M...G....

Such beautiful artwork and depth! I only played a few seconds then turned it off - I was soooo overwhelmed... :eek:

Will play tonight when I can devote time to it - nearly all night long...

(*puts 3DS on charger...* ;) )

I was kind of bummed when I opened it and see that it didn't come with the reversible cover with the Gameboy cover art like the special edition does. I would've bought the special edition if I could find it. Fans trying to buy some of this Nintendo stuff is like chasing unicorn.. However, I was able to pickup the Samus/Metroid Amiibo set, my consolation prize.

Enjoy :)

Really want to pick this up. Metroid is my favorite game series of all time. Just finished the first one for the umpteenth time (on the NES Classic). I'm debating it as I'd love for it to be on the Switch instead but my have to pull the trigger and download it on my 3DS.


Anyone playing Destiny 2 on the Xbox One? Enjoying it so far. Feels like they've taken some of the grind out of it compared to 1. I was a fan of 1 but never played it hardcore. It was a good game to pick up every month or so and put a bunch of hours into and then forget about it for a little while.
 
Started Uncharted Lost Legacy yesterday. Enjoying that.

Bought Metroid today for 3DS after some trade ins. That'll be my go to lunch time game for this week. Never played the original (my first Metroid was Prime) so I'm looking forward to it. :)

Just the opposite here. Targets I checked out had a couple of copies of the special edition left. No Metroid Amiibos to be found anywhere - there were lines at the door before the stores opened...

I see long lunch in your near future ;)

Wow people line up for Metroid? That's a good sign, that if Metroid sells well, Nintendo just might make Metroid a regular release. Another side scroll Metroid on the Switch will be fantastic. As much as I loved Prime, I still prefer side scroll Metroid titles.

Scalpers lined up for Metroid Amiibos....
 
Destiny 2 3DS (okay, Youtube vids on my 3DS and just pretending... :eek: I can dream!!! :) )
You got me there for a split second, actually wondered for a second there lol.

Yeah Samus Returns plays great in 3D mode.
