Re: Helldivers 2 PSN Requirement Backtracked on PC After Brutal Review Bombing Campaign

Nalodart

This was so overblown aside from people in proper affected countries (so I’m not including them in this)

Yes pushing back on actual problems is good.

But this? No way complain when the game is broken or something not this!
these people better be off the grid and not sign up for anything, no game pass, no apps… nothing otherwise they are complaining about very little.

Re: Not Everyone Is in Love with Dragon's Dogma 2 on PS5

The game has some polarising nature to it.
Like the story and characters had potential but are very weak, and after 40+ hours of basically walk-sprinting everywhere and fighting the same enemy types it can get dull for some.

Yeah fast travel is too expensive, but I get that they want people to travel more so they really should make the sprint not drain stamina outside of combat this may help with that without breaking their vision.
Watching your character get winded constantly is frustrating.

It feels like the devs wanted you to be immersed by the world and not the characters actually in it really which unfortunately had the opposite effect on me but for others it’s perfect for them.

The game is still fun but not a masterpiece to me by any stretch.

Re: Capcom Responds to Dragon's Dogma 2 Microtransaction, Performance Backlash

Nalodart

The only MT that bothers me is the the port crystal one as limited fast travel options is a slight hang up for me combined with the expensive ferrystones and limited port crystals getting around the map is a bit of a slog (so charging for extra seems a bit scummy), but fine if that’s their vision whatever that mechanic is just not for me personally.

The performance on the other hand is rough, it’s just not stable enough.

Is it unplayable? No you can get through it fine enough
Do we deserve better for a full price AAA game? hell yes!

Knowingly releasing it in that state is bad, and should be called out.

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Director Says Travel Isn't Boring, Your Game Is

Nalodart

While I understand what he is trying to say but…no.
After the first couple times exploring the map it gets old fast for me.
And as much as I enjoyed Dogma dark risen, traveling and lack of fast travel spots made it a bit of a slog when you saw your quest on the furthest side of the map and you have to get there on foot…

Re: Game of the Year: #2 - Baldur's Gate 3

Nalodart

Seems like a surprising but fine placing, I got to the end of act 3 and couldn’t play anymore.
I’m definitely not one of those people fawning over it.

It’s very good but the combat… I hated it I’d try to avoid it any way I could.
The characters are great, the main story was very meh (the side quests were great though) so for me a mixed bag.

@Papa_Godzilla
Woah woah I just said it was decent…it’s not great, excellent or ground breaking in anyway imo so I agree with you.
It was 1 part predictable, and 1 part half baked and rushed (in particular ultima)
But to give credit to voice acting again the voice cast did great with what they had to work with šŸ˜‚

@Papa_Godzilla

It’s a roller coaster action game (very set piece focused) there is definitely an audience for that stuff (plus the story is decent, and the voice acting and some tracks are excellent with high production values)
But yeah if final fantasy to you is a party of interesting characters, rpg mechanics, nice side quests and a world to explore with mini games…then nope this may not be quite the right fit for you as things will feel missing(as it was for me).

As its focus was clearly story and the action combat system.
But I can see why it is liked.

Re: Final Fantasy 16's First Expansion Should Be Revealed This Month

Nalodart

Hopefully they add more rpg elements otherwise I’ll give this a miss, just adding another summon is not enough really for me.

As more Clive isn’t an interest for me, I’d be way more interested in Jill, Cid or Benedikta back story.
Buuuuut I’m not their target audience anymore so… meh whatever make them money I guess šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Re: Lies of P's Latest PS5, PS4 Update Makes Life Easier, That's No Lie

Nalodart

@roe if it helps they only nerfed three bosses I believe, and the one I’m on now the nerf is welcome because it only nerfed the first phase which had way too much health for a two phase fight.

I would have preferred just respec change and buffs to weapon types (like the slower weapons) but I guess these changes are easier to do fast.

Re: Round Up: Baldur's Gate 3 Reviews Rate It as One of the Best RPGs Ever Made

Nalodart

In my opinion it's a 75 -80 at best, good but definitely not exceptional.

The combat is way to slow and dull at times (why can't I speed up enemy turns to X2 speed especially when I'm fighting massive mobs, watching each one move is so boring)

16 hours in and level 5 and the moment to moment gameplay and exploring doesn't feel appealing enough(maybe because I played monk and none of the armour I can wear and the clothes I can wear so far look bad)

It's selling point is its dialogue/choices and the character graphics look good.

With a lot of exclaimed games I can see the appeal even if it's not for me.(even ff16 and I hate that game)
But this game I can't understand the widespread 10/10 praise I dont see it I don't understand why people are in love with it.

I really tried, but I just couldn’t bring myself to play anymore maybe I’ll get back to it later, but right now it seems like a chore getting through it.
