Just try a torrent version before buying. Rather unusual game. Many people love it. I really dislike it. Make your own opinion before paying money.

And trying to play with your friends? Fuck you, do 30 minutes of boring solo stuff before we even think about letting you have fun.

I also don’t really like the sentiment of judging types of games in general; we like different things and that’s good.

But, gacha games can fuck right off. Manipulative, exploitative, addiction seeking nonsense. I’m not even commenting on gameplay or anything so it’s not a specific one… it’s the whole core concept of making a digital slot machine for children that I find offensive.

Any games that have gatcha mechanics.

And did you want to just connect and go? Fuck you get online and search up a guide how to do coop missions with your friends

Don't hear that take very often. Almost everyone is too busy glazing it. I feel that way about Sea of Stars.

What didn't work for you in Clair Obscur?

Pokemon. I had a blast playing Emerald, but starting leaf green directly after, I lost all interest in the series. It just felt like being punished to have to start from 0 again and maybe Emerald is just a better game. I'd like to give it a try... if you'd let me play it on my phone or pc, Nintendo! old woman yells at cloud

Genshin Impact

The characters look like sex dolls with uncanny valley face

I really tried, maybe 20-30 hours, but didn't enjoy it much.
Playing as a spellcaster was maybe a mistake.
I recognize it's a quality game though. I might try again with a melee character. Maybe modded?

what is this male traveler slander

and what about the gameplay

Indirectly pokemon go for me lol, played it a bit but meh

and what about the gameplay

That also looks shit

I feel 2 leant too hard into the "generic cover shooter" trope pretty hard and although I love all of them, I think the gameplay of 3 really got the best mechanically, though it was also the lightest on the RPG mechanics and was weaker in that regard.

Story wise, they all do their respective jobs as a trilogy excellently. 1 introduced the world and the main players well and setups a good "big bad" to defeat. 2 is a good transition to the darker tone and fleshes out a lot of the galaxy and in 3 you have the cataclysmic final showdown.

The worst thing about ME is the continuing EAness of the whole publication.

I can recommend a dual Strength/faith build. I did that my first playthrough and it was a lot of fun. I think the Incantations was much funner to play with than the Sorceries. They have far more variety in them. Plus there is a cure Scarlet Rot Incantation that I got a lot of mileage out of to make certain parts less oppressive.

Hmm, I really liked most of the GTA series.

1. So much fun driving around and shooting stuff up. Great humor as well.
2. Even better with nice graphics and lighting effects.
3. Just wow, GTA but you are actually in a 3D city.

• Vice City had a great vibe and colorful world.
• S.A. huge world (felt like it at the time) and a great radio soundtrack. So much to see and do.

4. Depressing, slow and mostly a chore.. Didn't like this one.
5. Alive, funny and beatiful open world. Really great if you skip multiplayer and the later milking of the franchise.
6. We'll see...

The Lazlo character was also great on the radio show.. He was kind of the voice of reason until they completely ruined him with an apprarance as sleazebag on GTA V.

It seems like all of the answers are "I personally didn't enjoy this game therefore I can not conceive of anyone else enjoying it."

I find that interesting.

the act 1 finale twist was painfully telegraphed and i just wasn't feeling the new guy in act 2.

what got me to drop the game though was doing one of those extremely vertical platforming challenges and falling off on the very last jump. twice in a row. i know there's only cosmetics for finishing it but the platforming was so aggressively shitty that the prospect of having to do any more of it was enough to just move on.

Souls games in general for me, but especially Bloodborne. My girlfriend at the time loved the game so much she had multiple tattoos. She was so happy to guide me through Bloodborne and tried to explain lore, but there's so very little actual plot that anything I learned just fell out of my head. I couldn't tell you anything about what happened despite finishing the game and DLC. I don't get it.

Thanks, I might try that!

I generally like hybrid builds with more variety. Don't know why I went full mage...
