I won't be playing anything for months or close to a year probably, stuck in bumfuck nowhere Montenegro in the middle of endless mountains, imagine Rocky IV's training location without the snow (yet)

The amount of shit going on in Control during fights is next level compared to anything else ive seen.   I also started playing Witcher 3 again. Damn this game is fucking awesome. It still l

There are cheaper ways to torture yourself. Im pretty sure razor blades go for $1-$2.

Xenosaga Ep. 2. Fuck me, the combat in this game is so slow. A standard battle can take upwards of five minutes to get through. :| I think I might just youtube the rest of this game and jump straight to Ep. 3.

lmfao

Around the last 3rd of the game encounters are the length of boss battles that can take 15mins. I shit you not.

I like 2 a little bit more than one. One takes too long to get going, establishing the characters, settings, terminology and motives. Episode 2 expects the player to know those things already so its a lot more better paced. Its also a lot more polished then one and you can notice the severe increase in production values. But ai dios mio the length of some of those battles makes you want to stop and take an intermission.

3 pretty much slaughters both a million times over at EVERYTHING.

I can see the intentions behind the combat system. I appreciate the fact they're trying to make the game more than just Deathblow/Tech Attack spam. I also appreciate that Ether attacks are actually useful in this game. The Zones concept is a neat idea as well.

My problem with the game's combat though is it requires too much prep work before you can finally start the battle. You basically have to stock for your first 12 turns, then figure out the enemy's zone, and then finally break the enemy so you can unload on them with a combo which will hopefully kill them. If it does kill them then you get to repeat the process all over again because there are other enemies to deal with.

Battles are just needlessly drawn out, they really should've figured out a way to streamline it all.

Playing some Darksiders. It's pretty good. The traversal is a heap of shit, however.

Yea, they really should've gave you the horse a lot sooner. By the time you get it you're like, "Thanks... but this would've been nice to have like 10 hours ago".

I finished Yesterday. It was a solid oldschool adventure game. The story was a bit out there, but I enjoyed the humorous writing. The puzzles were solid too. I've played better iOS adventure games, however, it's still solid enough to recommend (though wait for a price drop - it's short and costs $5)

I finished inFamous last week. Great game, cool twist in the end. Playing it again on 'evil' and trying to get all the blast shards and stuff.

I found playing evil was more fun :)

I'm starting up Super Metroid, finally.

You are about to experience the best adventure/platforming game that has ever existed.

I expected you to respond, I just didn't think it would be so immediate :ben:

After playing SotN and loving it, I thought I'd go check out the clear inspiration for gameplay shift properly.

Also, save functions. NES Metroid is great but... ugh.

i recommend playing SM with headphones or loud enough speakers, and in a dark room. Most immersive game of all time, treat it with respect :sam:
