Apparently Berseria is pretty drat long so that and Yakuza 0 should hopefully last me until Nier Automata and Breath of the Wild.

I'm weirdly liking how slow paced Beseria is, I was going to preorder Nioh but Beseria might keep me occupied right past its release date.

I'll probably redbox Horizon Zero Dawn over a weekend

Please do your best to play both. :hai:

I'll end up buying it after I return Beseria to Gamefly and while I wait for them to deliver Yakuza 0. The savings are real but the shipping is speed is unreal

I do feel slightly guilty since these weeaboo publishers need our trumpbux so we keep getting games translated and localized

anyone else remember when games were completed before release :corsair:

You're nostalgic for something that never existed

30 hours in and Berseria is starting to wear on me, mostly because the pacing stumbled a bit and the game decided to dump 2.5 hours of voiced exposition with little combat or comedy in between. I've started to skip talking to npcs that aren't voiced too. I've also heard that the final dungeon is really bad so my interest is waning

Please play demos or at least watch an average-level schmuck stream before you drop 60 united states dollars on video games

Most people are finding retail release way easier than the demos, myself included

edit: for example the Usuki level had 90% of the ambushes removed

It was directed towards me because I said the majority of opinions I've read is that people are finding retail release easier than the demos

The actual Nioh thread is better now but there was a lot of "git gud" posts during the demos

edit: or not

Soul matching is prohibitively expensive for some reason, I'm talking like 600,000 gold to level up a spear or whatever

The problem is that gold income for the player doesn't keep up with how expensive soul matching becomes

It's slightly cheaper if the weapon and material are closer to each other in level but the game remembers the original level of the weapon so if you want to keep your beginner raikiri expect it to cost 600k+ when you reach level 50.

The game doesn't want you to stick to one super weapon

I'm going to rent Horizon from Red Box, I should have beaten Yakuza 0 by that time

I want to play Nier Automata but I'm afraid even the easiest difficulty will be too hard for me or that some of the content will be locked behind the higher difficulties.

I almost died in the demo on normal difficulty :(

I know platinum games are infamously hard and I couldn't beat Sam in Reveangeance on normal and I've been scarred for life

There are a lot of assists available (you can pick and choose) for easy mode, I doubt you'll be unable to complete it. But there will likely be a separate ending or some poo poo for the die hards, I dunno, just youtube that crap when you've finished :shrug:

I'll probably play on easy just so I don't have to hold down R2 all the time to fire the machine gun drone since the autochip in the demo said easy difficulty only
