Not sure why theres a cowboy bebop reference at the start of Partitio's chapter in Octopath 2 but I appreciated it. Unless that bit in cowboy bebop was also a reference to something itself..??

Barge into a room with half a dozen mustachioed killer mannequin robots standing at operating tables, they all simultaneously look at me menacingly, and my dude screams "why aren't any of you working?!"

As if boss fights were not already the weakest element of every Yakuza game, the RRG fellas had to go in and make them even worse in Judgement with the "mortal wounds" system, just rotten stuff, at this point I'm just pushing thru the last couple chapters. That suicide squad sure it's something, they straight up showed 10 seconds of a character unloading an entire clip (of it's weak rear end sounding giant gun) on a purple blob, reload, and keep unloading , they really believed it was exciting gameplay. My guess is the Rocksteady leadership just delivered the minimum-required-contractually-obligated alpha thing they could, and jumped ship, and let the rest of the studio sink.

Yeah Judgement could be rough.I don't think I could deal with a Legend run easily. You can buy first aid kits in the sewers, relatively cheap in end-game. Try some extracts if you haven't already, too.

A good number of games in that list are 6 hours or less, so some easy choices when you consider that.

I’ve never played either Horizon game. Is it worth playing the first game before playing the second? I don’t really care about story spoilers. Just wondering if the second is significantly better I guess.

Just wondering if the second is significantly better I guess. The second isn’t necessarily better (or worse) in my estimation, it’s just much much larger and filled with more stuff to do. The first game was already decently sized. I would absolutely play the original game first.

It's a pretty story heavy game you should probably care at least somewhat, and 2 isn't going to make a ton of sense if you don't at least watch some sort of recap. I honestly like the first one better, but 2 is way more visually impressive and much bigger so if you just want fancy graphics and open world content that's the one to go with. Personally I enjoyed the gameplay and story in HZD more.

Alright, I’ll give the first game a shot then. I suppose if it’s not my thing then the sequel doesn’t sound like it’s more enjoyable.

Vikar Jerome posted:play what your heart desires! get tunic loaded up! frag some time in quake! this actually has me thinking i can add another column that only weighs metacritic score and desire to play and leave the length out of it. so at any given time i can sort by a column depending on how i feel. do i want to knock out a good/decent short game? forget desire to play and focus on that metric. do i just want a good game that im eager to play regardless of length? i can sort by a different column. etc etc i'm ready for the singularity so i dont need to make any choices on my own anymore.

Just wondering if the second is significantly better I guess. HFW is a huge improvement over HZD in nearly every way but in ways that I think you would really appreciate most by playing HZD first. It’s also a very character/story focused franchise and the experience of the two games is so good played in order where you’re getting this connection to the character’s growth and the big slow reveal of what’s going on in the series. The gameplay and combat is vastly improved from the already fantastic pieces in place from the first game too. I definitely think it’s worth playing both.

Yeah, don't play Forbidden West first. As long as you're cool with reading datalogs and stuff, the story of Zero Dawn is fantastic (better than FW, really) and all the mysteries get immediately spoiled to bring you up to speed for the sequel.

I honestly think that HZD in some ways looks better than HFW. The tech is obviously better the second time around but I feel like they pushed it way too far in some ways, like the dramatic hero lighting. It ends up feeling like a tech demo a lot of times, where the first game is just drat good looking because of art direction.

you know people can whine about the durability in Zelda BoTW until they're blue in the face but any day of the week I'd take that system over getting a gun that has a .5% chance of doing 1% extra damage to fire enemies (provided you have at least 2 pieces of Blue gear equipped)

Before they showed footage and just had trailers, I'm the idiot that was hoping that Suicide Squad would be like a 4-player squad version of Arkham Knight after Marvel Avengers sucked super hard and Gotham Knights was an ARPG for some reason. Maybe I'm just not looking at the right games but all I'm looking for is a game with exaggerated ragdolls like it's Kung Fu Hustle; where you hit someone and they go flying the length of a bowling lane away from you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1fv3N5f7WA&t=143s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoM78QKXsmI I don't want people crumpling in place like it's Half Life the way they do in Spider-Man, I want them to go flying.

I think I'm overleveled in Elden Ring (around 95) because after a brief jaunt to Volcano Manor (I'm some kind of tarnished assassin now?) I returned to the capital and am just steamrolling everything in my way, including getting Godfrey, another tree beast, and a dragon tree beast in one shot each (and then dying four times in a row to a random guy wielding a ball and chain, naturally). Dungeater also told me to find him in the sewer but I have no idea how to get down there, not sure if I have to mess with the Erdtree first... I think I've really found my niche with the Godslayer greatsword + jellyfish shield combo with a handful of decent incantations to buff/cure poison/etc, though I also found a rapier that inflicts rot and I'm toying with the idea of dropping my armor and keeping it as a secondary...

Gotta save all those items til the end of the game just in case you need them and even if you’re at the final boss this attempt might not be the one and you don’t wanna have to do it again without having those to hand so just sit on them forever and ever except in BOTW this was a full inventory of ancient swords

The BotW durability system/loot/crafting in general was an absolute masterclass in game design. I guess the entire game was to me though. lol time for the annual ps5 thread botw chat lol
