I've been there, stick to what you truly love, my friend. Think about the kind of games were you always had a good time and define their characteristics that appeal to you, then stick to those games and those only. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can afford to play anything that pique my curiosity and not care. When I'm really busy and gaming is a luxury I stick to the very best... well, not the best for everyone, I mean the best for me and what I like the most. I usually end up playing something along the line. -> Single player -> lengthy campaign -> story driven -> good writing -> long term progression system (RPG mechanics) -> challenging gameplay with depth preferably turn based or slow and methodical - awesome soundtrack (optional). So I usually just play a WRPG lol. But that's just me. You know yourself better than anyone else. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I literally have to go out of my way to play games. So, I tend to stick to cinematic titles, usually action adventure or rpg. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The controls are incredible…the atmosphere is amazing (that sound design )… but I have 0 interest in firing it up. I’m just going to let a friend borrow it. Give me something with a story and characters I can connect with + an easy setting 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 7,808 Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 Made it to the final boss in a plague tale. WOAT. He keeps getting me on round 3. This game really shouldn’t have fast paced combat. I’m just YouTubing the ending. Props to you who had the patience for him lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,808 Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 I give the game a 8/10, because the first 80% is stellar. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,983 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Im glad you gave it another chance, but yeah at some point you just gotta give in. I've been doing that more often nowadays too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven’t tried the normal controllers but it’s still fun to whack some balls and the caddy is cute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Delita 698 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 @Twinblade is there something I’m missing in regards to group bond level? I’m on phase 8 and my party are still on lvl 1 group bond even though individually they’re like at lvl 3-4. I’ve done all the bonding episodes possible and even bought them several gifts. Since I wasn’t really feeling the story, this shift in the 2nd half I feel like it’s sort of made it more interesting and I’m actually paying attention in cutscenes again rather than drifting in and out. Maybr it’s just me but I’m so sick of this animu cliche where when the main characters learn of new information that twist the story, they start going on about how it’s so unbelievable and how no one is going to believe them, you know, because just about everything about the characters, their powers, the history and world they live in and everything they’ve witnessed is all just normal weekday. This though, they can’t grasp their minds on this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not entirely sure. But yeah theres loads of anime style melodrama for sure....the twists are so ridiculous that they're entertaining just based on all the weird ideas they came up with Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Between that and a standard story of kids in an army battling monsters and defending the country I'll take any weird ideas they have. It's working on me so far Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The cinematic intro was pretty neat but then you see the real time cutscenes and dialogues and it's the most embarrassing shit ever. And the combat was boring af.
