Need to see if I've got one. On this run I did Not exactly pick up everything ya know

Shield important? Like the target shield?

If you having hard time parring then just use greatshield, I mean used that for Artorias since you can't parry that guy.

Gwyn Is easy, I had bigger issue with 4 kings since that boss is all about rush DPS.

2 platinums - Sonic and Astro

I'd buy outlaws on a deep sale. Like $25. It's $20 on PC but nah my lil PC and Deck can't run that

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Not terrible. Far better than me

I got a 4090 pc, steam deck, quest 3s and a steam family and steam key sites. All new to me this year. Clearly it's had its effect.

I beat 4 kings first try. Every try. Now anyhow.

Great shield? Surely I got That? I use the grass crest for stamina.

My Steam time gonna be way up compared to PSN lol it won't match many on here. But I do Not game daily. Maybe 1-2 times a week now. Unless I'm DEEPLY invested into a game

I used Greatshield of Artorias.

Where's that picked up? Should I have It? It's good for parrying?

 

[Danjin44]

You can't pick that up, you have to craft it using soul of Sif on 10+ mid size shield. Also it's greatshield so you can't parry with it but it has amazing defence.

For parry I use Parry dagger.

Ahhh. I pop boss souls ASAP lol

But Gwyn needs parrying. So likely wouldn't help me here anyhow

 

[tTHANOSs]

After getting the platinum in DS2 it's been quiet on PS5 for me and gaming in general.

 

[Pharaoh 117]

PC games don't count? I recently played TLoUPII on PC but it shows 0 games for me.

Then Parry dagger is best for parry.

Shield don't matter?

If you want to parry that dagger makes it easier, but in the end it's up to you to learn the timing.

I'm goated in parry. Just not on PSN for some reason lol

Got it as a Christmas present last year. Think 4 of those 5 were last year's presents. NMH3 was PSPlus.
I rarely buy games throughout the year. I just do up a list at the end of year since I can't think of anything else I want so it's handy.

Then practice to get used to the controls on PlayStation.

Original Dark Souls has very generous timing especially compare to Elden Ring.

This is PC only. Doesn't count Xbox and switch dark souls

I do Have that shitty dagger. Upgraded to +5. That ok?

 

[vodka-bull]

Compared to you guys…. I need a job.

I dont think upgrading would make much difference in parry window.

Parry dagger just gives you better window for parry compare normal shield.

Oh fuck. I knew I shouldn't have clicked to see more:

 

[Grildon Tundy]

My PS5 is my multiplayer-with-friends machine, and this cements it. The Nightreign, COD, and Battlefield hours are >95% partied up.

I would've played Death Stranding 2 on PC if it was an option.

Meanwhile, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered was a PS giveaway, and I ended up enjoying the crap out of it.

Looking forward to the Steam year in review to see how my single player stats fare.

 

[Clover904]

 

[BennyBlanco]

Apparently I didn't hit 10 hours. I should probably sell my ps5. I did just buy Astro Bot on black friday tho.

 

[Sooner]

 

[solidus12]

Here are my stats:

 

[poodaddy]

Well this is sad. When did ff7 remake come out?

That's weird. I tried to see mine but it said I had under 10 hours played this year and it couldn't generate the wrap unless you played at least 10 hours. I wonder why you were able to at least just see the 0.....odd.

[PlayStaytion]

Had the whole summer off so most were done in the summer. Better than last year I guess.

3rd party games make more sense.

 

[Bartski]

Cheers my final year of hardcore gaming:

Not sure how the hell Shadows got the spot, also 1h of vr ? rip… 960 hours total. I expect 2026 to be 1/4th on that tops, and most on the portal

 

[PlayStaytion]

Around 500 hrs of playtime on Xbox, my last PS console was the ps4. These 500 hrs that I spent actually in the most efficient way.

Didn't show up COE33,that was weird

 

[PlayStaytion]

Efficient hours make more sense to me.

 

[Sharius]

 

[Radical_3d]

Mine is embarrassing

Clearly steam deck is where I game

Spending more time in GAF than playing is the way to go. No need to be ashamed here. We're all comrades.

 

[naguanatak]

GTA V was single player, don't know why it says Online
Pretty tame compared to some of you, then again I have two children now and bought a steam deck about two months ago

 

[Lions Gate]

 

[Gandih42]

Around 650 hours total this year.

Those 29 hours of Hollow Knight were almost all practising to beat the final pantheon

Great souls-like year though, just got back into Nightreign with the DLC and replaying Bloodborne after developing a near unhealthy relationship with grinding Nioh 2 Graces.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

I have played basically no new games this year. Purely focussing on older games and backlog but I need to do something about this. I've played a lot but I jump between games too much. I need to finish a lot of games.

 

[Klayzer]

 

[Sunbiter]

Been a chill year, mostly stuff with my regular old-man gaming group.

 

[Radical_3d]

2 platinums - Sonic and Astro

I hate open worlds and I love the sound of blasters and Uncharted. Would I like Outlaws?

 

[dDoc]

My PS activity from January till first week of August. After that I got a new rig and barely switched on my PS5.

I finished Rebirth guess I earned 6 trophies from it this year.

Wow didn't realize I spent so much time on Ronin.

 

[MudoSkills]

It has been an RPG heavy year.

 

[Baemono]

Welp looks like I only played 2 games this year, FF7 Rebirth (30 hours) and Assassin's Creed Shadows (8 hours) + my trial of Indiana Jones
