The 2nd part of the dlc was just one long & monotonous dungeon that felt like it dragged on more than any dungeon in the base game. at least imo. I really think this is up for debate. What I noticed is that FFVII dungeons went on and on because they were padded with a lot of puzzles/squeezing through blocked paths, slow walking chit chatter, stuff like the shinra tower constantly shifting back and forth between teams to open up pathways for each other, where as Intergrade's 2nd half is 1 mid sized dungeon that's more straightforward but more mid-boss encounters and the only puzzle i even remembered was the one where you have to climb the ladders to open up pathway to the upper floor. I vastly prefer this method as my time spent on the game is on the combat which is what i enjoyed most about the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmaltese★ 2,549 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Dark Alliance has got to be the shitest game that I have played the most of (about 10h in). Solely because my friend and I need a coop game. The Ascent can't drop quickly enough. Yakuza still owning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There’s no difficulty setting, but it feels just right, and I have 0 patience for dying. It’s truly magnificent and I can’t recommend it enough. I’m playing it right now (hit pause to grab water).

Delita 698 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Just started Scarlet Nexus. Feels like I’m trailing behind every game twinblade is playing I started with the dude although I read the girl has the better story. Is it that much of a deal breaker? It said he’s more focused on melee combat which sounds more fun to me and that’s why I picked him Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But tbh its probably not much of a difference. Their paths converge during most of the big story moments, so you shouldn't be missing out on too much. And of course depending on how much you like the game you can play the girl's campaign afterwards to get her perspective. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 so, i googled to see how far i am in a plague tale. i'm at the halfway mark. i'm thinking this campaign will be 15 hours long (unless it's shorter, and i've just been taking my sweet ass time lol). anyhow, so far, it feels like a flawless gem. it has the heart of an indie game with AAA production values. i really dig the variety in how you can get past enemies and other obstacles. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Delita 698 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Scarlet Nexus is surprisingly pretty damn solid. Namco's previous new ip franchises i felt always suffered from a lack of identity. God Eater being an average Monster Hunter clone and Code Vein being an average Souls clone. I think this one nails the right aspects in terms of gameplay and being relatively fresh and unique enough to let it stand out on it's own. Looking forward to playing a lot more. Hopefully I can get it done before TWEWY Neo comes out so I can beat Twinblade this time. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Too fast paced with tiny controllers and my hands cramp. And if i'm going to play it docked with a better controller at that point i might as well get the PS4 version on PS5. Seems like a no brainer at least for me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
