I remember playing sh4 some time in the oughts but not getting hooked by it. The story did not seem as compelling. I may have been oversaturated with hills silent at that point, though, should probably give it another go at some point

If you read the comments, they're all complaining that it's just "DLC" and not a brand new game.

it unfortunately only truly hits its stride in the latter half of the game so that may inform a lot of perception about it

it's a really slow burn unlike the others that p much drop you right into it

When playing Silent Hill 4, its important to keep in mind that the entire narrative is secretly about the main villain's circumcision trauma, and those bastards at Wikia are trying to hide the truth!

Oh, ok, you can quit the dice roll screen, but it's just not very noticeable in the top right corner, and if you press escape it just brings up the game menu.

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!

Yeah, the way they give character different move sets is kind of neat. Is FF16 doing something similar? Cloud later gets a more powerful gauge eating counter attack that's an absolute blender. And you can chain Tifa's basic uppercut with the first drop kick move to do a lot of work. I'm sure there's a lot more neat stuff you could do, but you really don't have to unless you go to hard mode I guess.

i genuinely dont understand mmo addicts. i tried playing Lost Ark and it was so loving boring, i kept hoping "ok maybe it'll get good after i reach...." and it never did. it's somehow still the top 20 most played game on Steam with 30k active users. like what the gently caress

like yeah i played a lot of Guild Wars 1 back in the early 2000s but that's because it was free, and also i was in high school with no credit card and too much infinite free time, and even then it was more a competitive pvp game with no grind

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

I know Spore was probably awful and dull but my nostalgia makes it sound creative as hell

It's fine, you would have rolled that anyway for your caster. That way it frees up your points for constitution, so your early levels of playing a wizard isn't the most miserable experience possible.
