Would FF15 be a good first FF? Is the battle system easy enough for someone who plays Dragon Quest VIII?

The first screen you see says something like "For both long-time fans and first timers"

I never got a creepy vibe from Geralt, which is more than I can say for literally ninety percent of all BioWare characters ever written.

Dude is trying to find the two people that he's closest to in the world who are somewhere in the middle of a war zone where both sides are morally hosed, I would be indifferent to most of the assholes I run across too. He kills monsters for money because that's his job and half the time the people paying him think he's a subhuman freak so that's kind of a thing too

So uh, does watch dogs 2 ever end? I've been playing this game for a month and I seriously have no idea how much is left. Last mission I did was the robot factory.

lol this game is so long.

How much side stuff have you done? Watch Dogs 2 is going to be the first in my New Open World Paradigm where I only do story missions and side quests that seem unique

If the game is Far Cry Primal except the lions you can ride are robot lions and the bee bombs you throw have robot bees, then it will probably be in my top ten 2017

Man, I took my PS4 from the living room television to hook up to my 1440p computer monitor in the hopes that I would play it more, but stretched to fill that monitor I can clearly see all the jaggies and lower detail compared to the PC games I play on that same monitor. I never thought I would consider the Pro but now...

Just need to chime in really quick to let everyone know that Knack is actually pretty great and I'm sad that I listened to you jerks. I could have been playing this a year ago!

Thanks a lot, dum-dums.

Also in looking up that old post, I saw that I have been unironically calling for the PS+ release of Knack since Sept 2014

OK now that I am starting to understand the enemy stamina stuff and got that move that punishes empty stamina I was able to push forward a little.

Then I got murked by an umbrella and lost 5000 amrita. (Isn't that a type of soda)

Ogress death 55 was me running for my soul and then getting one-shotted.

Thanks for the tips, I figured out the hugging thing after I was there when she did the fire attack and I didn't die, also I remembered my old Bloodborne standby of dodging forward and to the side. Now it's just a matter of execution

Well I tried fighting the boss in the other level. I have already died 20 times. His combos are so long that I cannot dodge them or if I try to block them my Ki is tanked and then he grapples me. Also his sword seems twice as long as mine

Also I try to do the sheathed attack like he does which instantly kills me, except when I try to do it half the time I'm standing around like a dumbass not charging up

It looks like there is an ability in the sword tree that is a parry. But I don't think I'm going to grind for souls to do this. The only times I have been able to do anything to him is to drain his stamina and then grapple him, which from the damage it does I only have to do 25 times. Seems reasonable.

Also half the time he is somehow still blocking with zero stamina?!

CharlieFoxtrot

Maybe this is just beyond my reflexes and hand-eye coordination, I have seen him do his sheathed attack 100 times at this point and I still can only avoid it like 1 time out of 10, and if he lands it once i'm basically dead.

For people who have beaten Bloodborne, is Nioh comparable in difficulty or harder or easier? I mean, I beat Bloodborne

Well, gently caress. I died 119 times to the swordsman. I was able to string together a few good sequences against him and I actually got him down to 60%... and then the demo shut down. I don't think I've ever felt as bad playing a game as I did just now :negative:

I don't know whether this has turned me off to it completely or now I need to play the full game to get my satisfaction
