Ok I need to rant.......I had up to now a couple of screen freezes in the middle of gun fight. I got no idea how long I am into the story, but it is right after visiting the old farm house.....and some fights feel WAY to unfair or I am just bad at them...and when things are going all to well...MY GAME FREEZES... And just fyi I am playing on normal mode.

Either I have to force shut my PC or fo the good old CTRL ALT DEL to get the task manager...I am running the game from Steam and I NEVER had any proplems running Old Blood nor The New Order. My PC is decent enough and runs other games like Warframe with no problem...hell even DOOM 2016 and Eternal was smooth.

Also....the UI is...shit...even navigation I was lost where to go and it showed when had to navigate the ruins on Manhatten....speaking of Manhatten...my screen went dark right after speaking with Grace so missed some details.

Pro's of the game, love the way the Resistance have made a cosy home on a uboat....cons...I don't like how Grace treats Sigryn and even Anya gave her some stink eye.

End rant...Ya all have a nice day now.

I need some guidance on how to conquer the Mein Leben achievement ✋🏼🥹✋🏼

After about 25 failed attempts, I completed Wolfenstein II on "Mein Leben" permadeath difficulty.

I played the game 7 years ago and never even considered doing permadeath. Then a week ago, for whatever reason, I decided to go for it without brushing up or practicing. I followed PlatinumVault's video guide almost to a tee, but not everything went according to plan and I had to adapt on the fly a couple of times.

Most of my runs ended foolishly in the first half of the game. I only ever made it past the infamous courthouse 3 times, and the 3rd time was my winning run. Despite several losses in just the opening wheelchair section, I got through the final level on my first try.

The 5 low-risk skips I used during the run were: Ausmerzer (1) box skip, Sektion F (2) skip, Manhattan Bunker box skip, Venus balcony skip, and the Venus conveyor belt partial skip.

Playing on my base PS4, I experienced only a single crash, in Mission 2 during a melee takedown.

The PSN playtime tracker wasn't working, so I can't say exactly how long this took. But if I had to wager a guess, I probably spent 15 total hours doing "Mein Leben" runs over the course of a week.

Other challenging trophies/achievements I've completed over the years:

• Dead Space 2 ("Hard Core")

• Devil Daggers (Survive 500 Seconds)

• Devil May Cry 2 ("Over 9000!" Bloody Palace Mode without Exploits, 4+ Hours)

• The Evil Within (Akumu Difficulty [PS3/4])

• The Evil Within 2 (Classic Difficulty, before Cheats)

• Furi (S Rank in Furier Difficulty)

• Max Payne 3** ("The Shadows Rushed Me," Permadeath with a Time Limit)

• Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty ("Great Dane," All Dog Tags / Extreme Difficulty)

• Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots ("Sounds of the Battlefield" / Big Boss Rank)

• Mirror's Edge (Speedruns / 50 Stars in Time Trials)

**Max Payne 3 is another permadeath where the trophy is surprisingly only a silver and, like Wolfenstein II, you'll be watching a lot of unskippable cutscenes. I think MP3 was slightly more difficult for me because of the time constraint. In Wolfenstein II "Mein Leben," your run can end in seconds basically at any moment, but you can take your time and even double back if an unexpected alarm happens to go off.

After getting the other trophies in Wolfenstein II and its DLC, the next challenging platinum trophy I'd like to attempt at some point is Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
