Oh, you didn't get the memo? P4 is in the "anime thing it's OK to like" club.

Actually, it's probably in the "absolutely not OK to not like" club.

I mean, there is a whole lot of 'J' going on, but I'm just taking it for what it is. Can't say whether I'll finish it for sure, but it's kept me reasonably entertained so far.

No fucking idea what I'm doing with the fusing personas stuff though. I got a scantily clad blonde persona early on so I'm just sticking with that chick instead of worrying about it.

Demon fusion is garbage. I wouldn't worry about it, just go by what has the bigger stats.

I could never get in to the Devil May Cry series, but I loved DmC, despite the universal panning it recieved. I'd double-dip for a definitive edition of the game, and would love to see Capcom make a DmC2.

DMC4: Special Edition on PS4 could actually be the thing that gets me to buy one. Strange since I already have the game on PS3 (and it was the game that made me buy a PS3 as well).

This franchise has me by the balls...

DmC is beyond any sort of improvement. The only way to make it good is if when you load it up that also turns out to be Devil May Cry 4 SE

Just be sure to fuse Mara to go with the scantily clad blonde.

After a long slog at work (browsing the 'net), I'm currently sat in my dining room on the floor - footie commentary on the radio, baby monitor by my side piping out classical music, a cup of tea to my left, alongside a scone topped with black cherry jam, facing the Christmas wrapping. Is this what is referred to as "the good life"?

I'm actually really tired and want to go to bed, but have to wait for the dishwasher to finish... first world problems etc

Dark Souls people, my heart is in my mouth. I had to refer to the Google and have a vague clue (thankfully no spoilers apart from a broad hint) but I could do with a very slight word of encouragement that I don't need to start again. I'm beginning to suss that this game really is nasty. I'd have had to do all of Blighttown with a curse if I hadn't known, too. Anyway -

I freed a man in a gold suit of armour. I had my doubts about him, but I thought what the hey. I think he's killes my fire keeper. So I've gone to the Undead Parish because an actual spoiler free hint suggested I just go to the nearest bonfire. I have the black eye orb. I have a fire keeper soul I've not used. I have about 15 humanity. Please dear lord tell me that if I keep plugging away I'll get a break. You're probably laughing at me.

Phew. Ok. I'll press on. Just out of interest - how many points are there to come where I could totally wipe my game?

I find my heart in my mouth for most of the game to be honest. I've gotten so used to edging slowly everywhere with my shield up. Also the number of times I've said out loud "oh hell no" when seeing something ominous in the distance (even if it turns out to be a friendly npc£.

You mean irreversibly fuck it up? None, really. Just don't kill any NPCs and you'll be fine.

EDIT: There is a caveat to that last part, but it's nowt you need to know about till t'end game.

Haha! That's the way to play it.

Btw, if you enjoy that sensation of utter fear and dread, I highly recommend Alien: Isolation. That's just one big long NOPE.

Dark Souls II. Is it worth playing that? Or should I play Dark Souls 1 first? Mostly because I'm slowly edging away from getting games on PS3 and my PC can't run games as well as I'd want. And I know Dark Souls II is getting remastered for PS4.

Phew. That's a relief. I'm loving every traumatic, you-forgot-to-concentrate-so-now-you-die moment of this beautiful game.

I'm a bit dubious about Alien. It looks like Outlast in space. Does it not get a bit repetitive hiding all the time? Outlast was eerie and fun but it felt long and I'd be concerned that Alien might be too long.

I briefly played Alien on a friends PS4 and I will say that it's more of a game I can play in short bursts personally. But that's mostly down to the fact that my impatience will be wearing really thin after a while.

Still something I'm looking forward to playing when I get a PS4 (I know it's on PS3 but I'll refer you to my previous post).

DS1 first, I reckon. Maybe make it your swan song PS3 title? It's a much better package overall. DS2 is alright though.

Well, it is (apparently) too long according to some folk. I reckon you'll appreciate the artistry though. They nailed the Alien atmosphere eerily perfectly, every sound and every air duct. Svestepool (sp?) Station is comfortably up there with Rapture in the world building stakes and the xenomorph is never less than genuinely terrifying throughout (uh...what I've played).

I might give it a go at some point. A lot of GAF do like it. And I love the aesthetic of Alien.

I feel at a bit of a loss now with DS - don't give me a clue! - I've decided to make the Valley of Drakes my new home. And there's a big drake that doesn't like me. I think I've figured out how to kill him. But I can't make any mistakes.

I sometimes keep a blog of the games I'm playing, and I've realised that all my DS entries read like I'm some crazy adventurer on a mad quest. I like this! It's like I'm writing the story as I go along. 😄

Where do you come from? (Where do you go, where do you come from Cotton Eye Joe etc)

Liverpool

What's your job/current education/whatever the heck it is you're up to?

Unemployed. Giz a job!

What do you hope to achieve before your futile existence comes to an end?

I suppose I'd like to travel. I'd like to create something people love, even if it means I have to someday inseminate a human female.

Favourite daytime TV show?

Say Yes to the Dress. If you'd said evening, its Jennifer Ellison's Dance Mums, which has just finished - and was marvellous television.

Can Arrow and The Flash be considered daytime if 8pm Central is 11am in Tokyo and 1pm in Sydney?

Fish or chips?

Chips

Daddy or chips?

I'll be the daddy, you be the chips

What's your tipple of choice?

Peroni Nastro. Water is pretty good too.

Favourite party snack?

Doritos. Filthy, powdery, naughty Doritos.

Who is the best bald person?

Patrick Stewart, obvs

What's your disappointing claim to fame?

I've sat on Noel Edmunds knee.

What's your perfect Sunday?

Wall to wall masturbation and the Hollyoaks omnibus

Did you threaten to overrule him?

I had to Youtube search this reference. Jeremy Paxman looks so young.

Where's all this 'edgy' shit come from? I'm a miserable, pessimistic cunt, not edgy. The difference between the two is unfathomable.

I've never understood the dislike for Tumblr. It's great for looking at delicious food, pictures with snazzy filters or just other random tidbits. I do agree that they ruin gifs.
