Yeah Pontiff was a weird parry check, felt impossible before I tried parrying and then got it in like two tries.

Honestly in DS1 DLC I didn't struggle with either Kalameet or Artorias. Artorias is one of my favourite bosses, just such cool lore and design and such a fun fight - but sadly anticlimactically easy. Manus though was a challenge I thought.

Realistically I am more likely to try Sekiro than the ER DLC honestly. It's weird but Elden Ring just never truly grabbed me. Played it on release and had a great time with it discovering it like uncharted territory but after finishing it it felt like a one-and-done. Haven't had the desire to play it again or watch others play it, despite enjoying watching people stream Dark Souls still.

Also my backlog is criminally long as it is, and yet I keep buying games every deep sale.

    We’re definitely different players, I found Artorias and Kalameet far harder than Friede or Malenia.

    That’s fair. I’m a massive ER fan, probably my all-time favourite game, I’m actually currently playing it while responding to my inbox. I’ve maxed out playthroughs on PC and deleted some for new runs, plus I have played it several times on PS5, so I’m thinking maybe 15-20 times I’ve beaten the game. I think the DLC is the best content they’ve ever released. But if you were meh on the base game you probably wouldn’t like it as much as I did.

    I feel you on the backlog though, mine is quite large and only getting worse. I really need to play some unplayed games but I keep replaying Souls and Elder Scrolls games. Oh well.

    After many years when I was younger playing the same games over and over I've tried to be stern with myself over the past few years and have a reasonably strict no-replay policy. I too default to comfort food if I let myself and constantly feel the pull to go back to Baldur's Gate 2, Fallout: New Vegas or STALKER: Anomaly again and again. But I've been challenging myself with trying to experience new things as a sort of cultural enrichment and mostly been happier for it. There were so many huge releases I missed that I've been able to experience over the past couple of years.

    It definitely is harder on the wallet though, even doing 90% of the shopping on deep sales.

    I should probably implement a similar system. Elden Ring, Dark Souls 1 & 3, Sekiro, Oblivion, and Skyrim probably take up >90% of my all-time playtime. At the same time, I’ve got a strong itch to replay Sekiro again so maybe after one more playthrough of that.
