Re: Poll: So, What Are Your Thoughts on Dragon Age: The Veilguard?

QiaraIris

I'm not sold at all, but I'm open to seeing more.

I'll wait till they show more of the RPG system that made the franchise an RPG. So far the gameplay reveal has displayed none of: Skill trees, character progressions, and gears/loot system.

Till then, in the same universe where we have a game like Baldur's Gate 3 as an RPG, in what way is Veilguard an acceptable showing?

Re: Forget About the Cheesy Reveal Trailer with 20 Mins of Dragon Age: The Veilguard Gameplay

QiaraIris

Better than the trailer but I'm still not blown away by it. Gotta have to wait and see if they brought back all the RPG features that made Dragon Age an RPG game because I just saw the team had a boss battle after waves of enemies and absolutely 0 loot. So no loot system? crafting? etc?

Honestly, I have the same uneasy feeling I had when they showcased ME: Andromeda and we know how that ended up.

Re: Video: Is Concord Destined to Fail?

@AdamNovice It doesn't affect me as I have a PlayStation.

but I'm also a PC Gamer where we'd rather not play the game when it's exclusive to Epic Game Store than actually made an Epic Game Store account.

Re: Open World Martial Arts RPG Where Winds Meet Announced for PS5

QiaraIris

@bindiana yeah I'm not sure why they're approaching the trailer as a Souls game when the actual game was really far from it.

It's really more Ghost of Tsushima with character creation. The boss fights can be similar to Sekiro due to its parry mechanic but there are difficulty options.

This is a true open world RPG, don't worry.

And difficulty options are here to stay. The studio wanted to make the game accessible to everyone.

I played the closed beta on PC and it was really good for its current state.

The trailer really doesn't do it justice. It's a full open-world RPG with anything you can think of that made it an RPG. Crafting, Dungeon, World-Boss, Side Quests, Activities, factions (martial art schools), gear qualities, talent trees (and of course ability to learn other school of martial arts and wielding different weapons), and many more.

Can't wait till it's launched.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Ending?

QiaraIris

Absolute trash, so much so that I'm going to skip the third part of the game. Nothing like being told "let's change fate and destiny" over and over again only to have the ***** end plot giving you the exact same childhood trauma but this time in 4K and a bloody PhD to understand it.

This is why Nomura should've stayed in designs where he belongs instead of attempting to write a story. Such an insult the OG plot.

Not everything needs to be a ***** Kingdom Hearts

Re: Rumour: Watch Dogs Is Dead, and Legion Reportedly Killed It

QiaraIris

As usual, Ubisoft once again misread their players on what we wanted in a Watch Dogs game. They are first and foremost still a character driven story. Watch Dogs 1 and 2 were a commercial success because the players care about what happened to both Aiden and Marcus.

Legion removed this character-driven stories in favour of a gameplay that wasn't even that good to begin with. I had my time with Legion but I honestly can't remember what I did in it or how it went. On the contrary, I can still recite Aiden and Marcus stories if I wanted to.

No loss. Ubisoft has been flailing and flailing recently, I can't wait to hear and cheer about their bankruptcy.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Rise of the Ronin?

QiaraIris

6/10.
It serves what it attempted to do well enough but that's it. A very safe game following a very safe open-world mechanic without introducing anything new or mind blowing. Is it fun though? absolutely. Splitting your enemies in two with a nodachi never gets old.

The best open world game of 2013.

Re: Documentary Details the Creation of PS5's Critically Acclaimed Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

QiaraIris

@Orochilocka I answered this before and I'm still surprised people can't see why most are hating on Rebirth's open world checklist.

Rebirth is a lazy attempt at open world designed with a closed-world map mindset. You can only climb where you are told, you can only glide when you are told, and your ex warrior superhuman still can't jump a short distance to go to a tower so he had to circle around a short cliff that was jumpable by any normal human standard.

Square Enix created a pretty good open world with FF15, but Rebirth was just a lazy attempt at recreating that with their arbitrary invisible walls. Open world doesn't work with Rebirth traversal and it's only frustrating.

Open World works with RoR and any AC games because they did give the freedom of exploration with their traversal. In an era where true open world games like Tears of the Kingdom and Xenoblade Chronicles exist, Rebirth was just a sorry excuse to pad the short story in order to earn more money.

"And on this episode, we're going to outline how we made our players believe they can change fate and destiny by keep repeating that phrase in our marketing. But at the end of the game, we decided to kill off Aerith anyway so nothing change. We'll still give you your childhood trauma but this time in 4K and a PhD to understand our mess of a multiverse plot. Oh we'll make this another Kingdom Hearts mess and a worse graphic than Remake. Also here's Chadwick"

Trash game.

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Slated for Adding Sinister PS5 Microtransactions at Launch

QiaraIris

"Obviously, the cost of making games is increasing, and you don’t need to invest in any of these items to enjoy the outing"

It's funny that this site didn't use this kind of sentiment when SEGA and ATLUS showed their DLC package with Persona 3 Reload and Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth but just outright bashed them. Biased article is the worst.
