This looks very interesting to me, out August 15th. Short description:

"State of Mind takes a sharp look at the immense technological promise the world we live in by jumping us forward to Berlin in 2048. Unravel a global conspiracy in a society of ubiquitous digitalism, surveillance and transhumanism and explore a world with a rich and unique visual style, combining realistic environments with low-poly characters. They take on the role of journalist Richard Nolan, as well as five additional playable characters and have to use dexterity, deductional skill and research to reconstruct Richard‘s past."

Here 15 minutes of gameplay:

So basically: "I'm not actually making threads and posting on this forum (definition: a public meeting place for open discussion) to actually discuss things, i'm just here to post garbage to rile up people and then piss off when i'm called out on my bullshit!"

@Sheria Funny how you completely ignored the well written and thought out post by @SabotageTheTruth. Maybe that's the "Sheria agenda": Posting garbage and not engage when it's being torn apart. People like you make me laugh, so thanks for that. :D

I probably like third-person more these durch days but i have no problem with playing first person games as well. Still super excited for Cyberpunk.

I'm not a big fan of both games to be honest. BotW is too much of a snooze fest in a (imo) empty, boring open world with a paper thin narrative and characters. I hope other open world games don't try to replicate too much from BotWs success. The Witcher on the other hand has a great world and characters but the narrative/story completely falls apart in the last third of the game. Gameplay isn't really stellar in both games either.

Overall i would say i definitely enjoyed the Witcher a lot more, it just brings much more to the table than Zelda, especiallly when it comes to story and characters. For me personally i would say Horizon had a much bigger impact on me as an open world game than the other two. The overall package was just the perfect mix for my tastes.

I think the biggest impact from Zelda will be the "climb and go everywhere" mechanic. Assassins Creed Origins kinda did that already and i think more Open World games will follow suit. The Witchers focus on great Sidequests/Sidecharacters certainly had a impact on some games already, which will probably be it's legacy. To come back to the main question of this thread, i think that both games will go down in gaming history as some of the great games of all time, even if i don't necessarily agree.

Yes, if the game remotely interests me i'll buy it Day 1

After finishing the game a few days ago i must say in the end i'm slightly dissapointed with it. The first 10 hours or so are really fun but once the novelty wears off a bit the game goes downhill fast.

All the characters and the story are so paper-thin it's almost funny. Nothing at all is fleshed out, you're through a chapter in no time and everything feels incredibly shallow.

I was most excited for the Kingdom building mechanic only to realize that it's straight from the "Facebook games" playbook. Seriously the Kingdom Building might as well be a stand alone facebook clicker game. You don't build anything really, you can't even choose where to build what. You just click on pre determined spaces/buildingd and choose where to dump money in, then you have to wait until your kingdom generates enough money so you can dump it into it again, rinse and repeat. At some point i really didn't bother with it anymore. It's just excruciating busy-work.

The amount of voiced lines in NNK2, for a video game in 2018 is just ridiculous. Even for a JRPG. I would not be shocked if it is much less than in the first game.

The biggest point is probably that the game is way too easy on every level. Most of the time you have no problem beating enemies that are 20 levels above you. After a few hours the combat runs completely on autopilot, with mainly just spamming square and triangle combos. The first game handled that a lot better in my opinion.

A great plus for the game is the incredible Artstyle and Soundtrack, really loved the vibe and atmosphere of both.

All in all it's definitely not as good as the first Ni No Kuni.

Among my least favorite Final Fantasy games. I just replayed it recently and the only things i really like are the combat system, which is imo the best in all the mainline FFs and the Soundtrack. Everything else is straight up average (story) or even awful (most of the chars, the super linear nature of the game). For me it simultaneously ended a era of really strong FFs (VI-IX) and started the era of mediocre FFs (X-XIII). I would probably say it's better than XII and XIII but nowhere near VI-IX.

Rise & Fall is a really great expansion, the additions feel fresh and are really well implemented. Already sunk in around 20 hrs since the Add-on came out!
