Exploring in Clair Obscur making sure I'm strong for the final battle, what an artistic game. Trying to finally beat my 2nd run of HFW, game is so gorgeous. Also still continuing my first run of another gorgeous one - GoWR. Some EAWRC. Reinstalled GoT, lovely game but realized my issues with it were navigation, no camp or rest mechanic in an open world which I always find highly immersion breaking. I see it's been done in Yotei, so I might just look forward to it.

I'll have to redownload GoT and see if I'll like it better, haven't even bothered with Iki Island - started a bit after beating the main game. Something about the gameplay wasn't really clicking, I think the navigation is atrocious and mainly ruined it for me. I kept ending up at dead ends, hilltops, cliffs following that goddamn wind.

72 hrs in and Clair Obscur still got me wowing. It's simply the most stylish turn-based rpg currently. Taking it slow don't want it to end quickly. It's back Sekiro 29.99, I just need to beat this game, the simplicity and hidden secrets in texts that helps in beating enemies makes it a unique masterpiece just like all of From's games.

@kyleforrester87 Don't mind me, I haven't finished it either πŸ˜† just remembered you raving on about that game.

@Northern_Munkey Got to the final boss and my save corrupted. Started over and got to him 2nd time and some other games got my attention. So yeah I've beaten that gorilla 4 times, he appears twice per playthrough. I'll definitely beat that game one day.

Demo looked good but the always online and my fluctuating wireless made the game lag, my character kept moonwalking, was unplayable for me. Couldn't even start the game sometimes because Login was mandatory. Can't believe they can be so inconsiderate, at least THINK that there people out there who just want to play SP.

@kyleforrester87 You still haven't finished Sekiro too.

After 320hrs, beat BG3, such a fantastic game through and through. I should be beating Metaphor soon - probably today - since I found the silly reason why I was stuck on the final battle, it's made it easier. Then it'll be full concentration on the unique and ever brilliant Clairrr Obscurrr. Plus some legendary ER on the side with ray tracing and EA WRC.

Clair Obscur is so unique and special. YT videos in a hurry to beat the game playing it awkwardly almost made me pass on this gem. Plus you'd think it's some short RPG, I'm finding pretty long with my completionist play style. And it's made me love Metaphor all over again. Hopefully I'll get KCD2 down the line cause I know I'll love it.

Just beat BG3 and jumped back to Metaphor, had a feeling there was going to be some news about it. The sales is quite low but could definitely be down to Atlus' infamous rereleases of the same games and charging full price, so some people might be waiting for some Royal Edition. Anyway gone back to it trying to beat the final battle, loaded an earlier save and I think I know why I'm stuck, skipped the damn crystals . Yea Metaphor can be all so overwhelming and push you to bounce off for a while but playing this along with Clair Obscur, they're all up there as the best turn based games of recent times, people should give it a chance.

Still Clairrrr Obscurrrrr skrrrrrr. The game is soooo good. Art so good. Music soo good. Gameplay sooo good. Those little gestrals always make me laugh with their weird language. Everything is brilliant. Must play! I'll try to divert a bit of attention to continue the almighty BG3 also.

Oooh Miyazakiiiii! There's a new Art Direction challenger in town, oh Metaphoorr!! There's a new Sound challenger in town. Best video games of all time - there's a new member now --- claiRRR obscuRRR! Don't remember the last time a game made me dance in my seat in the middle of battle. What incredible art, gameplay, sound, everything. Quality wise this is AAA with an AA budget. Hats off to Sandfall, respect!

@Northern_munkey Yes I've also not experienced any stuttering I kept reading about, guess I bought the game at its best state.
@ChromaticDracula I really like this EAWRC graphics, they're really realistic, DiRT looks more over shiny and glossy. The dirt and damage is what makes me like these games, Gran Turismo is just too clean, it's like you're just looking at pictures of cars idling on a scrolling environment with the same old generic UI.

BG3, HFW, GOWR, EAWRC, CP2077, TW3, RDR2, it's hard to focus on a single game these days. Still stuck on Metaphor's final battle, will keep trying. Said I was going to just play 10mins of my 4th run of Elden Ring...2hrs later, roaming in caves, provoking Tree Sentinel, singing Agheel oo Agheel.

Re: Poll: 10 Years Later, What Are Your Thoughts on The Witcher 3?

Still a masterpiece! I think it's the first game I bought digitally. The music on those 2 PS4 themes made me want to try it. I remember not getting into it initially, White Orchard was quiet a slow introduction hiding the gigantic game it really is, no wonder some people still give up in the beginning. But I kept going and giving it a chance, ended up being one of my favourites of all time. The stories - both main and sides - were just so good! Depressing most times, still remember when Yennefer raised the dead guy in Skellige trying to get info from him, so sad to watch. What a game!
