No, I read that they were really hard. I'm merely competent at platformers so those levels are probably more than I want to attempt.
Things have been crazy here this week, haven't played anything lately. I did order and download The Last Of Us for PS3 today (yay for $5 Amazon cards from Bing Rewards!) but it'll probably be this weekend before I can get started on it.
Bloodborne: I actually missed the damn game, so I started doing NG+ and the chalice dungeons. Third dungeon (lower pthumeran?) is actually starting to become challenging!

Your suffering from Stockholm syndrome ....
Started Trackmania Turbo last night. So much fun, and the sense of speed is incredible! Can't wait to get started on the track editor.
It takes me back to a 90's era pc game called "4D Sports Driving" (aka "Stunts") that also had a track editor and insane stunt elements. My friend and I would always build maps to challenge each other, full of multiple branching paths and death traps. I fondly remember finishing new maps, copying them on a floppy disk and riding my bike over to his place to watch him play it!

Why do I suddenly feel so old?

Picked up Salt and Sanctuary for PS4 over the weekend to hold me over until Dark Souls 3 comes out in two weeks. It's a metroidvania style 2d platformer action RPG inspired by Dark Souls. So far, it's really fun! Highly recommended if you like these styles of games, and it's only $18 on the PSN store.
I'm really enjoying it.
I like the aggressive AI. It keeps even street skirmishes interesting and challenging. My issue with the AI is sometimes enemies get stuck in a pattern and are easy to pick off. Also, changing your elevation can sometimes screw up the AI and they can't see you. That might have been fixed in the update. I haven't seen it since but it was never consistent.
I'm on PS4 and there is quite a variety in enemies.
-Gangbangers
-Riker's island escapees
-Cleaners
-LMB troops
A few more would have been nice. Rabid dogs would be great. Wait till you get further in the game and come into an intersection and you have 10 guys on you.
I wouldn't call Normal too easy - maybe I just suck lol. At equal level to your enemies and if they are higher, I find normal challenging. Hard can be ridiculous. Challenging mode is nuts.
I have one level 30/15 DZ character and another at level 26. Darkzone is ridiculously hard. Yes you lose SOME XP and DZ bucks why you die in DZ but that is part of the challenge. You just have to kill enough to stay on the positive net progress. One key is if you can stumble on Rikers/Cleaners/Gangbangers fighting each other and pick off the wounded.
Extraction is interesting. That helicopter starts coming and enemies swarm the LZ. Rather than going rogue most players I see work together.
Still, they're all far too samey ("They got Alex!"
) for my liking. The mechanisms are mostly the same too. As for the difficulty, you're defo right that facing opponents 3-4 level above yours can be quite challenging (although I have to say that I play rather reckless and that doesn't work out then anymore). I never use any skills or talents too, not even grenades.. but hard mode feel slike a waste of time so there is that.*But like I said, I like the game, although there is no "magic" to it which will keep me playing it for a long time. If I'd play co-op with a friend that may be different.
For the DZ, I play on PC and am always worried about cheaters. Sad but true. The last online shooters I experience were infested with them. Otherwise I'm looking forward to it. I wish there were an option that would turn on / crank up the number of encounters way up in the regular areas. I love defending the streets of NY! But not if I have to walk five miles to do so
Wish they'd add that via DLC (which I will only buy if it's increasing the single player content by a good chunk.)I'm lvl 23 or so now.
* I also hope that they ramp up the overall difficulties when roaming the streets once I'm finished. I did roam without a map or plan at the start and that was interesting, but left some of the beginner areas unfinished - now I go back to finish them and the encounters aren't exactly exciting anymore.

For me, it's almost perfect style of game for my preferences. No sills or talents? No grenades? lol I imagine it's easier to use on a controller then on a keyboard. Ah reckless, yeah this game rewards planning and careful cover use.
You're never going to get lvl 30 enemies in the early neighborhood streets, but the enemies do scale when rerunning missions.
Ah PC and cheaters. That's one reason I prefer consoles. Co-op is great. That would be interesting DLC.
Lol, I hate to play shooters with a controller! Kbm ftw!
No talents and skills because I'm too lazy!
Disabling the HUB should be automatic under Challenge mode lol.
Pffffft KBM
Batman Arkham Knight and Assassin's Creed Unity, love the first but hating the latter even though I finish all AC games to date. AC Unity is by far the worst worth of glitches and lack of a good story...
Played a few hours of Trackmania last night. It's sooo addictive! Each run on a given track takes no more than 30-40 seconds, and to restart a race you just push one button - instant restart, no loading times! This is the most evil "just one more try!" game I have ever played!
The buggys in the lagoon levels are slightly frustrating to control though. It's like they are built of helium balloons and feathers...the tiniest bump will send them flying!

Seen others comment on this, hopefully they patch the game to tweak this. Especially on such a twitchy game where the smallest deviation of handling will cost you gold or force a restart ...
A slight modification to the handling would be nice, but it's really far from being a game breaker.
Has your copy arrived yet? I need someone to build evil tracks for!
It arrived this morning in the post. Will have a go on it this evening
Cool
I am still working through 'Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel' on the PS Vita, also grabbed 'Civilization Revolution 2 Plus' on Vita and got started ... Sadly it is better suited for touchscreen, but will come back to it after finishing 'Cold Steel', which is truly excellent!

Day of the Tentacle is probably my favorite LucasArts adventure of all time.
Problem is, I know it too well. I would race through the game within a few hours, as I remember most/all the riddles. That's why I haven't bought it yet. It will probably be a Plus title at some point, then I'll have another go.
