Prey

Man I wish I could say I'm liking it more than I really am, because it is pretty interesting, but it just not great in some pretty important aspects in the 5 hours I've put into it.

@minamik Fair enough, playing Sky currently I see your points, though I still prefer Cold Steel, simply a matter of preference though.

Yeah it's rough with Zero and Ao, I'll just use the fan translations, I could make an attempt as you are mentioning and it would actually be great practice, but I just know my Japanese is nowhere near enough to tackle RPGs, as I've clearly seen when trying to do so in the past, so I'll settle for a lower quality.

I guess you feel much more strongly about it, and I can respect that, I just see it very differently as someone that absolutely loved ToCS.

@minamik I have to ask, did you forget about Trails of Cold Steel 3, or are you just not interested, because that would be kinda surprising.

I'm glad we finally got a release date for Catherine Full Body, but man 7 months for the english version of a game that already has a considerable amount of it translate, it seems like a bit much to me.

I was pretty exciting about seeing more FE Three Houses, I didn't love what I saw, but I'm still interested, that said .... ooooof I can only take so much abysmal worldbuilding in such a short amount of time.

Astral Chain though, that has my attention for sure.

@bam541 definitively a good watch, I'm very interested in seeing how this one turns out, thought knowing Obsidian there's no concern.

Looking forward tomorrows announcement of a new FE sword user for Smash!!! /s

I really to want to see more about Three Houses though.

@el-shmiablo said in Metro Exodus (PC/XBO/PS4):

Also, Stalker is pretty shit unless heavily modded.

I couldn't disagree enough with this statement.

@hidz I wouldn't even say that, Persona is my favorite series so I'm always down for something like that, but this was just a bad attempt at it, Trails of Cold Steel does an infinitely better job at it.

Tokyo Xanadu idk like 5.5/10

It's bad, nothing else about it, even if there are parts of it that are kinda enjoyable I've never been as pissed at game for just dragging on and on. If by any reason anyone is interested in this game, just don't, play any other Falcom instead, they are all so much better than this.

Just finished A Place Further than the Universe, I liked it but I don't get what all the fuss about it was, I don't think it was as good or Yuru Camp or Bunny Girl Senpai from last year, and certainly not to Violet Evergarden

@tokyoslim wow, that is actually my main reason for not smoking, because honestly I love smoking, but the thought of constantly spending money on packs of smokes was never appealing, but 4k is just nuts.

I've played like 5 hours with my roomate, simply incredibly, and I just want to really delve into this more in-depth but I'll have to find a good time for that.

Two Falcom games mostly, and two very different experiences.

Trails in the Sky SC

Jumped right away after finishing the first, this is a strong start for a JRPG, and 6 hours I'm just loving it, definitely a strength of a having a whole previous game to set up the game and plot for this one

Tokyo Xanadu

This game is baaaad, I wasn't expecting the same level of quality as other Falcom games, but this is just pretty bad, many aspects are competent, but it is just so incredibly uninteresting, like I'm finding it even less compelling than DQ11 which is saying a lot, I'm so close to the end so I'm just gonna push through but don't touch this one.

@hazz3r never got to that one actually, I was interested but only got up to Brotherhood, and then I lost all interest in the franchise, maybe something to consider for the future.

@iboshow glad to see I'm not the only one, when I cared about AC it was because I was hoping for a great story encompassing multiple games with interesting connections between them, then they decided to axe any plan they had for that (if there was ever one) and just started churning out games, I'll never play another AC, and looking at them it is hard to think I'm missing out.

I'm conflicted with Yakuza 6, I've played enough of them to know that I just don't like the games that much, but there are still aspects to them I enjoy and I do want to see how much progress was made with 6, may look into it at some point.

@dipset ppfff those are all child's play in comparison to Persona Q when it comes to play time (considering a decent amount of playing around in the open world)

Not all good news from Square it seems

honestly not surprised to hear the are still struggling with development costs.

WOOOOO!!!!

I was not expecting a top 10 spot, but obviously I'm very glad to see it this high.

The game is too similar to the original.

I don't care

It it kinda janky.

I don't care

The enemy AI is pretty bad

I don't care

You can cheat your way around most missions

I don't care

The tone of the game is not consistent.

I don't care

After a decade from the release of the first game, and the failure that was the spinoff I thought the series was forever dead, I'm so glad it got at least one more chance, and if anything the fact that it is similar to the original is a testament to me of how good VC was to begin with. Yes there are a ton of nit picks you could apply to the game, and there are clear areas of improvement but nothing else hits the tone VC does, also glad to see it above the other JRPGs of the year where I think it rightfully belongs.
