Pretty much every boss with the exception of Gascoigne and Amygdala I beat within 2-3 attempts, some even on my first attempt. The Celestial Emissary, Rom, One Reborn, Paarl, Witch of Hemwick, Micolash and Wet Nurse fights in particular were pretty lacklustre, the last couple of those perhaps being the most disappointing as they are the climax of a super tough area (Micolash was trying to talk me to death or something, I guess?). Ebrietas was moderately challenging but only really because of BS one-hit kill movesвЂ¦avoid those and the fight is pretty straightforward. Gehrman was Logarius without the ranged spells and was taken down with similar strategies, he wasnвЂ™t hard (it baffles me how some people found him harder than Logarius). Logarius was the closest, and Amygdala gave me headaches until I worked out I was approaching the fight the wrong way. None of the remaining bosses matched that difficulty. On my playthrough, the toughest boss by far was Father Gascoigne, who is the first mandatory boss in the game, and the second boss I encountered (having felled the Cleric Beast first).

No, Bloodborne was my first Souls gameвЂ¦the only other From Software game I have played was a somewhat obscure card-based RPG on the Gamecube called Lost Kingdoms. Oh yeah, and you canвЂ™t pause the game even when playing offlineвЂ¦too bad if the phone rings in the middle of a boss fight. Lastly some elements of the UI were not helpful at allвЂ¦like not being able to compare attire to what you currently have *before* you buy it. The game also does a piss poor job explaining how certain mechanics like insight work, one-hit kills you every now and then because of reasons (no, random one hit kills donвЂ™t make the game harder), really off lantern placement at times (making you travel really far between them at some points, and putting a couple very close together at other points), and a complete lack of real armour options (never found a better overall armour set than the set I purchased for a few thousand echoes at the start of the game). Gascoigne was the hardest fight in the game and the bosses got easier from there, not harder. I mean yeah it was a good game but it had a number of flaws I think, not the least of which being the path to the bosses in general was much tougher than the bosses themselves. I donвЂ™t think Bloodborne particularly lived up to the hype. Mods/TCs (total conversions) have never really been the same post Quake 3 sadly.

That said Quake 3 later offered the Urban Terror mod which was the spiritual successor of AQ2 which made me very happy (CS had grown in popularity by now and resembled the slow crawl it is today) and Quake 3 Fortress which was a better TF recreation than TFC and is probably the closest thing to a real TF2 (because TF2 is actually TF lite right? lol). I believe the only mod thatвЂ™s still particularly played is Gloom mod which came out late in Q2вЂ™s cycle but is probably the best marine vs aliens game/mod out there I think I checked a couple years ago and there were still a few Gloom servers to boot. I remember the Wireplay server availability for Quake 2 basically vacated the moment Quake 3 released. Hell if anyone actually played the original CS theyвЂ™d be flabbergasted of how differently it played вЂ“ a slowed down version of AQ2 with stale map design (Quake 2 had the best map availability out there вЂ“ things were so very whacky/creative). Maybe a small part I suppose вЂ“ but HL (namely TFC and CS) were still small until after Quake 3 came out.
