Be Excellent To Each Other

Not far at all. I didn't even make it to the first shortcut. But everytime I thought about going back to it I just felt this overwhelming sense I was going to be frustrated. I think it's a game that needs more than the 30 minute bursts I can give it.

In the Bloodborne thread it sounded like you were unsure of how far you'd stick with it, but obviously you have. Did something click?

Oh definitely. Even if I started again with a brand-new character I'd be a lot better now. I still find the bosses incredibly frustrating in the main and they are easily the worst part of the game, but the fights against normal enemies, the exploration, the world setting and the lore is all some of the very best in a game I've seen.

And times where I've got truly stuck I've called Mr Dave in for some cooperation.
