That site isnt tracking everyone on psn.. just people who sync to that site.Just checked how I am vs the world, I'm number 40 in the world to have finished the game, but it was unfair because many got it so early on:

Fucking shame...I waiting for another patch. Last patch change nothing...Why some people have bugs and crashes and some gamers dont have any bugs and crashes?. Very strange..

It changed for me. I lost all progress cause I was in rest mode and it was updated and closed. I m seriously thinking of a asking for refund until a save game is introduced.

Despite some early frustrations, I went back, beat Phrike, beat Ixion (massive rush) and made it as far as the third boss before wiping again. Yeah, I called it wrong: game is something quite special indeed. Being wrong is always a good feeling.
Thanks Folks...I got brave and just went in knowing there would be a switch to flick somewhere and it was easy to turn off as you all said....Just so nerve wracking when you could get a really awesome run destryed by insane RNG...one run was ruined by a simple gold floor fall thingy where you normally just get loot inside a purple arch...not only were there two of the tentacle boss type guys but purple laser things shot out of the floor (AT THE SAME TIME IN CLOSE PROXIMITY)...anytime I get good RNG with suit and weapon upgades, artifacts, cubes and parasites (with no malfunctions to boot) "the game" seems to know I need a karma reversal and annhilates me! If it were not for the fact I get at least one ether to keep per run I might have rage quit. I guess the develpoers figure an average person deserves to die 6times per boss at least as that is how many ether it costs to get the rejuventaion bonus right?

Since i just realized it yesterday a wanted to point out that if you stagger an enemy with your sword another bar will start to show up underneath their health bar.
Once it has disappeared you can stagger it again. And there are artifacts and parasites that extend the time an enemy is staggered.
To focus more on this helped me overall.

As long as the rest mode works as intended you will pick up your game EXACTLY where you left it.
When the power goes of or it installs the update while in rest mode you have to start over from the beginning.
Same when the game crashes while you play or when you turn off your game.
Once you beat a boss for the first time he becomes optional in future cycles.

I just beat the 2nd boss last night and was a bit half-way through the 3rd biome. I had to put my PS5 on rest mode because I needed to sleep.
Then the patch was installed. My progress was gone, lol!
I was so pissed off but I played again and maximized my Integrity to 300%. Was so satisfying to wipe the floor off the 3rd boss in one go
I really like the Rotgland Lobber weapon too. It feels a bit OP but very fun to use.

There is an option in the console settings that will prevent you from this.
Activate it when using rest mode!

Yeah totally. I look at all updates the same. I want to see how things change and if there’s any issues before I apply any update. Phone, game whatever. Auto update always off

Still have not media it past the first boss. I suck at this game.
If you're stuck, you can try saving up ether through the conversion station, then when you're feeling good about a run convert some of it back to money and buy up health packs and upgrades. If you see an astronaut figure for sale at the shop, that's a good time to plan to go all-in for the boss fight, as that's the best advantage you'll gain for the fight (mid-fight second life). Get all the way to the boss and then double back to buy the items, in case you get unlucky while clearing out the level.
Find that you're taking a lot of hits and always at low-mid health, so not getting many integrity upgrade points? You can go back to the ship and sleep to recharge your hp. If you're at full HP while picking up silphium you'll get integrity upgrade points from it instead of hp.
I liked the carbine for the first boss.

While playing last night it occurred to me that Housemarque could also be the perfect studio to make that sci-fi Souls game that some of us have been wanting to see.

Are my trophies just not working? I got 2 sun fragments and still don't have the SIns of the Mother trophy, the one where you have to view all the house sequences.
So you need all 6 frags and then go to house in first biome?

Nvm, anyway here's that fully auto rocket launcher. I was trying to figure out how to record, so that's why I just stand there for a second.
Gonna start uploading random stuff, made a twatter.

It's bugged. I got like 18 out of 31 and it says 30%. But to me no fucks given because I never seek trophies.

Don't be afraid to go on the defensive during the fight, it ain't a rush to kill him, and when you rush is normally when mistakes come up.
Taking a step back and just watching his move-set will help you a lot, ensure you maintain a good distance, just study what he does and you'll nail his telegraphs bro!
Maybe even just rush to the boss, not with the intention to beat him but to just see how long you can last avoiding his attacks, this will turn into a muscle memory like reflex so when you take him on with a better gun, more offensive mindset and tons more health it will become a cakewalk.
You can use this lesson for any boss tbh.

What the hell?? I just thought it was for more damage with melee and not for the orange barriers...You need this, either buy it or find it:

It took me a while to get it, but you cant just rush to the boss. You have to prepare and you might as well get in the habit of doing that now because once you get to Biome 2 and 3, you will have to pretty much run through all three biomes to prepare for the boss. That means buying any figurines for extra lifes, buying a lot of med packs and health upgrades, and getting as many parasite bonuses as you can before taking on the boss. Some of the parasites like the ones that heal you if you health gets to critical levels are pretty much a life saver against bosses. And you wont get them if you dont explore and if you dont treat each boss run as a full 1 hour run.
Just dont do any challenge rooms because they might end up killing your run.

Pretty much what I do, also the challenge rooms are good for grinding out the Weapon Proficiency as well if you want better weapons to come

Hey, I fininshed the game without knowing critical stuff like:
- How to break the yellow barrier.
- Figurine is a second life mid-fight.
And I think there are still things unknown to me.
But what I got so far as suit permanent upgrades:
- Grappling hook.
- I can walk under water.
- I can walk on lava with no damage.
- I can see hidden platforms.
- And the obvious one the teleporting ability.

I think that listing all the abilities can be considered spoiler (it was for me) dude.

I had a parasite for low integrity regeneration + suit stat low integrity regeneration. That is a hack makes you regenerate much faster than with just one

I should look at the data bank more.
Portal beam vs turret. I'm assuming the turret is what i had last night. It would spawn and start lighting up different targets in the distance.

Sorry, hid them. But knowing those abilities make you understand why some blue rooms are literally impossible to get through without some.

Ah man. I wasnt sure that they stacked. Had the opportunity to get it. I had a parasite that limited my healing which made the regen pretty much useless. you can see it in my boss 3 run. it barely added any regen.I had a parasite for low integrity regeneration + suit stat low integrity regeneration. That is a hack makes you regenerate much faster than with just one
How do you do this?

This is me as well. The most recent patch has caused a bunch of crashes. Before that I only had the issue with changing the space suit.

Yeah I'm very careful and picky with parasites, along my whole run stacked 3 but after checking more than 30+ of them. Anything that gives me perks and say that next malfunction will be hard I say fuck it, I take it. Be mindful of their downsides.
BTW, isn't Returnal putting Deathloop in a boring situation? Now Deathloop feels like "yeah, another zombie game". Game looks interesting nonetheless.

That sword is a game changer. Being able to run up and destroy those turrets with a single blow. Feels good man.

You don't need the sword upgrade to fuck turrets with one blow.
Everythijg that is not big or humanoid usually dies with one sword hit, shield or not.
