Origins is good, this is much better. Origins is basically the blueprint for this game. The only con is that it would have been better had they made it shorter. However, it has the largest scale. It’s crazy how large and detailed the world is.

Every island you see can be explored. And that’s probably less than 5% of the world.

3 chapters left in MK11

AssassO was good but I couldn't sink that much time into a game . I bet it's over 100 hours if your doing all the side shit.

I spent a good portion of the day blasting through God's Trigger and just finished it. There are a lot of small indie games that are inspired by hotline miami but i wouldn't be surprised if this was the best one. There were some bad parts (the boss battles are terrible) but overall it was a lot of fun.

How do you aim in this game?

[Twinblade★ 3,892]

bought odyssey on PC. first thing i noticed is that it runs quite a bit worse than origins and im not sure why. Other than that it seems like more of the same, but with a bigger focus on RPG elements. The conversations are neat, but if they're gonna spend so much time showing the characters up close then they really should have spent more resources on improving their facial animations.

It starts off as not more of the same but exactly the same . It opens up a little bit into the game . Then it gets repetitive imo , but that's far in

Picked up World War Z. It's alright. I can't see myself playing it after going through all the chapters once, but it's fun to see what the next set piece is.

Nah, they take pages from Witcher 3, where side missions have long arcs. Also, some missions reveal cult members, which is an incentive, since it lets you access stronger powers (which actually make a difference - must noticeably with stealth damage).

lol fuck looking for the cult members. That became a waste of time.

No way man. It was easy if you did the side missions. I uncovered more than half without even trying. If you don’t kill cult members, you can’t level up your spear, which cripples your abilities.

I will say that the game is grindy, TB. It would have been a 9 if they had given the + 50% xp 

microtransaction for free (instead of charging $10). It would have cut the game down big time. While many side quests have amusing stories, some suck and feel like padded filler. That perk would eliminate doing the shitty ones.

Yeah thats what i've heard. I was already getting tired of origins' sidequests and odyssey supposedly has way more of them. But im treating it as a game im going to pick away at little by little, so hopefully i won't get too fatigued.

That’s the best way to go about it.

Thought I had seen the full map of Days Gone...........nope. Game is huge, unexpectedly so. Story is full swing now too. This is a classic example of the FFXIII thing where 'it gets good after 15 hours' (when the world opened up) lol. It's why pacing is so important in any entertainment form. Deacon though is arguably one of the worst characters in the game which doesn't help. Nearly everyone around him is more interesting.

Hordes are legit crazy now. Fucking hundreds and hundreds of freakers and taking them on is probably the highlight in any zombie esque game I've ever played, especially at certain locations.

My friends, who are playing it, say the exact same thing about Deacon, the world, and the hordes.

FFXIII never opened up, it played like a line of coke from start to finish. the only open area was the archylte steppe but there was nothing except for stupid monster missions.
