I’m about 12 hours in and yeah this is the real deal. Amazing thus far.
My only two major criticisms thus far:
Too much dialog. You can skip past once you get the gist of a cutscene. This was prevalent in Rabi Ribi but at least the characters here are much better.
Too easy on Normal.i recommend Normal+ for a firstplaythru.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is the worst offender. They constantly take your weapons away, and then your whole camp and upgrades are thrown into the trash partway through, lol.
I got a really bad feeling about Team17, I’m worried they’re not gonna last more than another few years.
Not so sure about this one, the community is always at the ready to tear each other apart.
Resi 4 remake deserves to be in the category because it’s a top to bottom remake.
Call me a smug old person but I love it when everyone in our watch party collectively goes “Who are these people” when they wheel out the latest content creators on stage.
Can we ban this annoying website already? It’s just AI generated BS that uses Reddit comments as it’s source. Gamesradar too.
But few months ago people on this sub were all about how great and wonderful “AI” trash is… what happened? Why are you now pretending to be against it?
Find me 5 examples of people who said this. Provide links to their comments being for AI, and then provide links to their comments being against it. You seem pretty confident in your assessment, so surely you must recognize usernames in this thread so this will be a walk-in-the-park for you.
3 examples will suffice, but that’s the bare minimum.
Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Ignore what anybody tells you and just go play the newest one. It starts pretty quick, and if you’re lost just watch a story recap of the series online. It has a short campaign, but it’s still packed with side contnet.
Sense of exploration and discovery, the thing that their big space faring open world RPG lacks, lmao.
How about a category for best video game apology?
Does anyone else find the name Immortals of Aveum to be incredibly stupid?
JRPGs are the worst offenders when it comes to overdone text and dialog. Persona 5 for example has far too much expository dialog delivered in back-and-forth cutscenes with zero flow so none of it feels natural, just “now it’s this character’s turn to talk.” Older CRPGs and some newer ones are rotten with gigantic walls of text and I honestly cannot be bothered anymore!
The story is way more comprehensible.
