What’s the worst thing you’ve done for an achievement?

March 15, 2023RockPaperShotgun

In the latest edition of Ask RPS, our new mailbag feature where RPS supporters pose us questions that we then answer in public posts for everyone to enjoy, we’re turning our gaze to that loved and loathed staple of the video gaming landscape: achievements. Ah, achievements. Never mind if they’re good or bad. Today, we’re remembering the terrible things we’ve done to actually get them. The question comes courtesy of Fachewachewa, who asked: What’s the worst thing you’ve done for an achievement? Or more generally, a time you were focused on a specific goal in a game, reached it (or…

Absolute chad beats every Souls game back to back, without taking a single hit

November 16, 2022VG247

This run hasn’t been seen before, so it’s quite the feat. It might not come as news to you that one player with the patience of a saint has managed to beat every Souls game, including Elden Ring, back-to-back without taking any damage. What do you want to see from an Elden Ring sequel? We’ve previously seen players take on Elden Ring while limiting themselves to one hit per boss, in a display fit for an episode of One Punch Man. We’ve also even witnessed one player complete all the Souls games (excluding Elden Ring) back to back without taking…

8 Fantastic Back-To-School Video Games To Close Out Your Summer

August 27, 2022Kotaku

Barring drying leaves and the uptick in yellow school buses come late August, the signal that a new semester was starting, to me, was the way the air started to smell. Post-graduation, I let the seasons change without fanfare. But usually, I’d notice that in summer, a puff of warm wind smells sweet and sunny, like coconut-infused lotion (unless you’re in New York City, where summer wind smells like baked dog shit). In autumn, the air cools and smells crisper, crunchier, like fresh earth (or, if you’re in NYC, it smells like chilled dog shit).

How the spirit of Bloodborne lives on in Elden Ring

May 23, 2022VG247

It may not be Bloodborne 2, but one secret location in The Lands Between comes close. Despite the rumour-mongering over the years, I can promise you there will never be a Bloodborne 2. It’s just not really been Hidetaka Miyazaki’s style (yes, he did direct Dark Souls 3, but then that was Bandai Namco’s IP, and you always got the sense that he grudgingly returned so he could snuff the bonfire out for good). Besides, seven years later, the best PS4 exclusive remains perfect – and I say that despite the 2015 title looking aged, now, with a lack of…

Elden Ring Reviews Call The Game A Challenging Open-World Masterpiece

February 23, 2022Kotaku

The review embargo for Elden Ring, From Software’s highly anticipated and tough-as-nails action role-playing game, has finally lifted ahead of its February 25 launch. Critics have started publishing their reviews online, giving you an opportunity to see just where the latest Soulslike stands in relation to other genre favorites like Demon’s Souls and Nioh 2. It seems to be a big success, one that’s both accessible and difficult at the same time.Revealed during E3 2019, Elden Ring features the much-publicized narrative involvement of Game of Thrones novelist George R.R. Martin, though just how much impact Martin actually had on the…

Bloodborne PSX is a smart demake of a FromSoft classic

February 2, 2022RockPaperShotgun

February has finally arrived and that means it’s FromSoftware month, baby. Elden Ring is almost here, so you best limber up, do your stretches, have a bath. Do what you need to do to prepare yourself for a colossal undertaking. One thing that might help get you in a Soulsborne headspace is Bloodborne PSX, a free PlayStation 1-esque demake of FromSoft’s gothic action-RPG. Read more

The Catch-Up: What Team VG247 played in the holidays

January 5, 2022VG247

What’s that? Work? It’s January already? Excuse the bleary eyes, and the inability to get up when the alarm goes off. We’re still in Christmas mode. As we bed back in to working life bringing you all the hot video game coverage and all that, we thought we’d take a few moments to scoot around the team (except for Sherif, who is still off, the lucky sod) and let you all know what we’ve been playing over the holidays. What games did you play during the break? Sound off in the comments…! Alex Donaldson, Assistant Editor I have to be…

Great One Beast boss fully restored thanks to new Bloodborne mod

September 20, 2020VG247

By Dom Peppiatt, Sunday, 20 September 2020 14:00 GMT Bloodborne fans have been mining the game for years now, finding all sorts of content that was cut from the game before it launched back in 2015.In 2018, we saw YouTuber and dataminer Sanadsk restore the Great One to the game. In a video, he was able to restore access to the cut boss by locating unused Chalice Dungeon IDs.With the help of expert Bloodborne modder and regular collaborator ZullieTheWitch, Sanadsk managed to show off a boss that From Software probably never intended you to see (thanks, Eurogamer).Now, two years later,…
