Not trying to rag on you nor correct you, but when ou say it like this:
Even after you explain yourself, most are gonna assume that's another language for bad.
Fair enough.Oh yeah I never said you said it was bad, I just don't understand your criticism unless it's coming from a point where you just don't enjoy games with action gameplay that you play repeatedly to get better at them so you can win in more stylish, unique, extravagant or original ways. Like to me it sounded as though you didn't really care to learn how the system works and just wanted to "get through" the game like it was a walking sim or something and not one of the coolest action rpgs out there.
I have my problems with overly long games too, but you can skip most of the side quests fine in Rebirth at least. Square has more than admitted that they wanted to expand the scope as much as possible. How effective that is going to depend on person to person, but most people like the bigger scope fine. Especially people like Max. At this point, I just recommend you just go for shorter games and be done with it. Get on Shadows of the Damned as soon as you finish. You'll get you fine trimmed 6-8 hours.I have one issue right now it's more about long games in general and yeah I do just wanna "get through" a game (currently experiencing it with Veilguard).
@CriticalGaming and @Old_Hunter_77 .
I wasn't trying to convince you nor change your mind. Just showing you another perspective. Pat, I have my problems with and has some really crappy takes. Pretty much all his sonic pains are just crappy Hot takes where he's jumping the band wagon.I never liked Pat before and seeing that summary doesn't change my mind.
If this game is an 8/10 then what is the Witcher 3 a 100/10? What's BG 3 8000/10?
Dragonage is a game that functions and that is about all i can say about it possitively.
Just so we're clear: He does consider both of those games much better. He likes this game, so there's really not much to do, since he actually enjoyed it.this game is an 8/10 then what is the Witcher 3 a 100/10? What's BG 3 8000/10?
Yeah it makes sense man, it just sounds to me like you're not having fun, which yeah would make you stop experimenting. I'd suggest taking a big ass break from the genre entirely and playing something that plays way different, like a war sim or something. Ever tried Unicorn Overlord?Fair enough.
Ok I'll clarify how I feel- I do like action games where you gotta mess around with stuff to either move forward or win in different ways. But.. up to a point.
So with FF7 games I did learn how the system works. But I didn't learn enough of the materia minutiae to do some of the optional stuff. And it ran up against other parts of the game's limitations like the open world design and how the actual mechanics were too simple to capture the possibilities of the many materia possibilities. So after a point, I would mess around with the materia in menus and then the reward would still be chipping away at health bars with respawning enemies while I'm trying to find a waypoint on a map that doesn't make sense.
So I just got to the point where wandering around, experimenting and exploring stopped being really fun.
If I have one issue right now it's more about long games in general and yeah I do just wanna "get through" a game (currently experiencing it with Veilguard).
Dunno if any of that makes sense.
And yet here i am, trying to finish this platinum trophy this weekend despite hating this boring fucking game.you definitely wanna stop right away and take a big break cause this is not supposed to be a job or something you do out of a sense of duty.
