@Stormcrownn I get that. I used to enjoy loot in games like Fallout 3 and Oblivion, but the recent overload in games has really turned me off. Horizon was just an unbelievable pain in that regard.
I don't want to play this game for an hour, just so I can hunt down that one rare pelt to get a good weapon.
I suppose my problem is more with crafting than loot.
Also yes, very eager to hear from Huber!
The world looks beautiful and I'm definitely intrigued to see where Bayek and his story goes. Also, really eager to see what the Templars are like and what their name will be!
But the janky looking combat, return of the painfully arbitrary enemy levels from Unity and Syndicate, Destiny/No Man's Sky menus (seriously, who thinks these cursors are easier than simple button presses?) and "loot" have turned me off quite a lot.
If I see reward boxes of any kind, I am hard out entirely.
Beyond Good and Evil 2 being so adult was my spider monster I suppose. I only briefly played the original, but it seemed almost kid friendly and definitely no swearing.
The swearing monkey and pig who kill and laugh about it was unexpected.
My obvious answer is EU4, I could probably play that forever.
My other answer is Journey, The sand would remind me of my location and the inability to talk to the people I meet online would reflect my isolation.
@Dragonhunter I'll have to keep an eye out for that problem. I may be talking out my arse, but maybe a metal bolt is too heavy?
Build quality is a big problem for me with DS4. The sticks are just too easily worn away. I believe the new sticks look slightly different so maybe they're better.
I prefer the DS4 over other controllers, but they don't feel solidly built. Hopefully the new one is sturdier.
Europa Universalis 4. I currently have 2470 hours played, according to Steam. That will only increase once Rights of Man is released.
Funny thing is that I only bought this game to tide me over till Total War: Rome 2. And now its my most played ever!
I played Gears 1 and 2 in 2010. I absolutely hated the first one. It made me angry when I played it. Tbf it was probably because I had played so many TPS games that came after Gears 1. I actually enjoyed Gears 2 after that though.
Gran Turismo 5 made me despise the series. I had vague fond memories of GT1 and GT2, they are gone now. First the install and patching time, then the weird, awkward UI. And using X to accelerate! In 2010! That game took so long to come out, I had even bought the Prologue and gave it a pass for being bad. Biggest disappointment I've probably ever had.
I don't think over-hyping a game is the right way to get over being disappointed by a fairly similar over-hyped game.
It might be good. But don't go expecting it to be the next big thing.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. It was as soon as the trophy patch came out. I had only played it once before and wasn't that impressed by it.Then trophies came along and I played it through 5 times in 4 days. Trophies are the reason I love Uncharted.
Slightly unrelated, but there was a free news program on the Japan store, hosted by cats and I shamelessly played it (as in read however many news articles) just for trophies.
