Poor bethesda, you score the biggest rpg in Skyrim then fallout, and then you sold your souls to Microsoft. Now soulless, you struggled to make Starfield and now come to the realization that you need help.
I get it with FF7. The limitations you had in the game, not being able to play as Vincent, pain in the butt mini games, same story as original. Not much to explore, pseudo open world, if anything I’d say it’s just getting old. Same story overall of the original, it doesn’t really add any mystery to the plate.
A better approach would be to change things up, perhaps start over with what worked. Summons especially.
Gonna have to dust off my disc and see if it recognizes everything. Intriguing development on this. Not looking forward to siding with the commonwealth, but saved it for last.
Walking across a rock slab, 2 death alarms go off. Seriously, I’ve seen pawns jump off cliffs and completely miss the landing.
Also can we fix the pawns getting stuck on everything? Walls, supports, rocks, hell even seen them stuck on nothing.
The best is them getting stuck on being unable to help in this quest, repeating it continuously. Gave my pawn the silence specialization. A real thing amazingly.
Owned it all back in the PS4 days. May give it another whirl at some point. Nuka-World and Far Harbor are must haves for the game, especially if you like Gulpers.
Well the original had that unkillable monster. Same everything else. While it was a fun game (the first one), the sequels didn’t really change anything.
Best to move forward, not back. After remake of demon souls, nobody asked for a remake of Dark Souls.
So a female Han Solo with an attitude to match, goes toe-to-toe with the big wigs in a bid for freedom of something. Stealth, action, blasters. Lotta cutscenes but no mention of choice.
@Michael2008ish Actually in the True ending post game, port Crystals are the only method of travel. Every single enemy that isn’t undead can drop a ferrystone. By the time I had gone to NG+ I had over 40 stones with 7 warp points.
You can take an Ox cart to travel between cities, ride a griffin to its nest. There are dungeons to avoid Headless Swordsmen at night.
I’d like that phantom oxcart quest to be able to actually do it after screwing it up. How about Hugo actually doing something in his cell besides grunting.
Love the invisible walls, if you don’t want us to climb, then don’t provide ways to climb.
Remembering where you picked up your first seeker token is a cruel joke to remember. After several fruitless searches I found lots of new ones, gave up and went to post game. Will have to try again in NG+.
@Brydontk Yeah I get it, played sorcerer and others. Sorcerer issue is getting stun locked (see stars), otherwise, yeah QC sucks stamina like nobody’s business. Some spells fail to work like the flare which sometimes just fades.
I have more issues with my pawns doing dumb things (walk off cliff, charge to battle irregardless of “wait”. NPCs are equally dumb, found they are likely to just crouch in danger or wander away. The first game was a little better with pawn commands.
1. Eat gold beetles. 2. Sorcerers have galvanize, a stamina recharge 3. No horses exist in this world, use port crystals 4. Yeah, they do that. Ogres like to act like monkeys on bridges, cyclops act like bridges… 5. Escort mission, stay near your client. 6. Some quests you just gotta figure out. The beggar wanders around (waiting quest), some bug out on missed steps, some are time sensitive.
Gave it a 9 for issues. Pawns walk off cliffs, don’t listen (not infected), talk too much. Some quests get bugged if you mess up a step (phantom oxcart), drakes behave like dragons.
Great game otherwise, exploring and killing to your hearts content.
Ran into the dragon at the Ancient Battleground, he was fighting 2 cyclops. Killed him with ballista. 2 shots, dead. No dragonplague, no loss of progress, no running away.
I actually haven’t seen a need for the micro transactions in DD2. Finding enough stones just exploring. Haven’t had a problem with slow frames in the city or anywhere else. Have seen a lot of floating people, invisible walls (why?), griffons caught in ruins. Best is tossing small monsters around, it’s like a fantasy take on hot potato.
5 hours. If you rush, and skip some car rides, you might be able to get out of the intro with 3 hours to spare. Still wish they included a way to skip it.
When this happened in the first game, the most you had to deal with was a fight against your pawn as well as the lesser dragons. This change is funny as hell, could be used to a benefit for an evil run, still hilarious for the chaos ensued.
Great stuff. Still trying to figure out why I got attacked by everyone as I left the castle after the magistrate. Running away helps, at least until I hit an ox cart on the road with more guards. Of course a lone ox in the wild brings the dreaded xxxx. ☹️
Would like to see difficulty customization for the other mini games as well. Older gamers can’t function as well with some of the games like the various racing games.
Dark Matter being only gotten from mini games is disappointing. The easy difficulty is too easy and normal is too hard. Collected jetsom for no purpose if you can’t play the other mini games.
What’s up with that bird in southern ocean? I miss fishing and more “random” encounters.
