Trying to beat FF7 Remake but chapter 17 was such a slog. Three boss fights back to back to back. Wtf is even the pacing for this game?

About 30 hours into Ni No Kuni 2 

You enjoying it? I think the town building aspect was the best part of the game, everything else about it was pretty disappointing.

Is it me or does this game start off really slow? I'm only a few hours in...same  repetitive environments.

So I've finished it now. The town building gameplay loop definitely hooked me but the rest is pretty much a bland JRPG. Combat is ridiculously easy and the story is horrible. With that said, it was a pretty fun, relaxing game, just not very engaging.

I spent a lot of time fighting I guess instead of sneaking by, I don't even know why I do the gameplay is too easy and electricity is seriously OP 

Do you get some kind of message or cutscene from your current romance if you hop to another girl? I don't want to break Makoto's heart and be confronted with that

I used to loved that game so much, the first trilogy is really good as a while. But its really old now, I wish they would make a new one with a more stylized presentation and higher production values. Something similar to AI The Somnium Files but nicer.

So i've been playing a lot of valorant lately, which is surprising because I wasn't expecting it to keep me interested for this long.

 

It made me realize that theres actually kind of a noticeable design flaw with both this game and CSS. And thats the whole idea behind earning money to buy the best guns every round.

 

If one team manages to win a couple of rounds in a row, then they're able to afford the better weapons while the other team can't. So the team that is already winning is rewarded with the ability to dominate the other team even further, which IMO is a very noticeable balance issue. One team has all ARs while the other team can only afford submachine guns that suck at medium range (which is the distance that most firefights take place at).

 

So the moment one team pulls ahead, it becomes incredibly difficult for the other team to come back, not because they suck but because they get into a hole where they're being outmatched in most of the firefights.

 

So yeah, just had to rant about this for a bit. Its obviously a core part of these games' designs so I don't expect it to change, just kind of silly that I haven't seen anyone complain about this before.

Finished it now. It has all the usual probably of a baked in campaign to a MP game. Levels just borrowing MP maps and then given basic ass objectives to complete. Story was average and no  really awesome cinematic moments that a SW game could have.
