So while I've been frustratedly waiting for BG3 to come out on PS5, I've been playing thru the PS5 version of FF7R, which came free with PS Premium.

I tried it once before and bounced off somewhere around Wall Market, because I found the fights long and frustrating.

Turns out, thats because I'm stupid! The first time I played, I got frustrated very early with how slow Cloud moves in Punisher Mode, so I basically never used it. It turns out you do, I dunno, like 3x damage in that mode? I knew it did more damage, but I never realized it was so dramatic.

Playing again and primarily using punisher mode, making sure to take advantage of the block-counter, every fight takes like half as long and the game feels way less grindy. May actually finish it this time!

This reminds me of the first time I played Max Payne and didn't know there was bullet time. I got about 3/4s through the game and then accidentally pressed the slow down button and was like :monocle:

I would stand behind something like a box or a wall and suddenly pop out and shoot dudes point blank with the shotgun and then immediately take cover again like a deadly game of peekaboo. It made for slow progress but I thought that was how the game was supposed to be played. Adding bullet time to the game felt like cheating.

well tbf they are overpowered in the sense that capitalist nations and pops in vicky 3 do not perceive ideological or economic differences and so will leave socialist countries alone in peace without highly specific casus belli that they would wield regardless of ideology. without the entirety of global bourgeois society banding together to eradicate socialism, it can organize a superior economy without interruption

Also if the country is a neighbor the fascist party should have declaring war on it as one of their demands/election goals/whatever.

Been giving it some thought and I'd like a Pirates! style reboot where the common pitfalls of piracy as theme (studios can't resist making it a sexy bougie power fantasy) are avoided by making it RDR2-like. Sewing clothes, gossip, surviving the alien but iron systems of justice and order and the minutae of life on a ship and the social dynamics, dealing with being broke and living on a knife's edge dirty and likely ravaged by disease. A sailor simulator I guess but something that subverts the genre a bit because frankly they've all been stinkers for a very long time.

Failing that, I'd still like that Yakuza-style Justified game

I think it would be very funny but I wonder if they're brave enough to be truly real and have the entire world declare war on you if you try to play the game optimally. It's already turning gamers against landowners and the clergy, ratchet that up a bit more and there's going to be black vans parked outside the studio

You couldn't grok my race car, but you dug the roadside blur.
In Starfield you'll clip through the world during a story mission and end up in the Skyrim prison cart.

This won't be an intended feature.

the only bethesda game ive spent money on is doom 2016, doom eternal, wolf tno, dishonored 1+2, and prey. also the last actiblizz game i bought was starcraft 2 like 15 years ago.

it's me, i'm the morally superior goon. i simply don't buy bad games *kicks a box of Spore, Hellgate London, and Brink into the closet*. believe it or not, i actually like video games hence why i'm posting here instead of Games
