I wonder if they will do something like rdr2 where they have the good bad scale but this time a relationship scale. Loyalty between the protagonists sort of thing

I enjoy Rockstar games, but the more they try to push "realism", the more out of place the combat feels. Rdr2 was the worst for this. Feed yourself, feed your horse, clean your horse, also drink an elixir while you are getting shot in the head repeatedly to heal. It always felt like they could just make your health considerably lower and drop 90% of the enemies you fight and the combat could atleast kind of match the rest of the game.... but I guess people like to feel like Rambo all the time in every game

Probably for the best. I ended up cheating and the end was pretty dumb. Can't really remember the details but I do remember being very disappointed.

I am definitely projecting. It happened to me in final fantasy 8 (I never stacked magic to raise the state boosts) I got to the end not needing it. My fault for not reading tutorials. The other was persona 3. Made it super far without bothering to combine personas at all. Didn't really understand the friendship mechanics. Again... my fault for not reading.

Sounds like it is holding true to the jRPG tradition of making you feel safe until the final boss gauntlet where you will figure out you played the game wrong and need to start over

I was so excited until I saw that it likely won't be RTS and an open world shooter instead... lame

My whole family, which usually votes NDP (far left, never gunna be in charge party), voted conservative this time around. So I am a little surprised conservatives didn't win. I still stuck to NDP because my riding is heavily liberal so it wouldn't matter. Im happy how the election went. I did not want conservatives but I also don't trust the liberal leader. Mostly due to him being a banker. Minority government will make him have to work with the other parties a little. Edit: also the Liberal party is actually the more "nationalistic" party in canada. Generally the conservatives want to be more like USA and Liberals cling to canadian national identity. However, if by nationalism you just mean ****ty to immigrants then yes... conservative is more nationalistic

I will be playing detective dotson as my next game. It's a bollywood styled pixel detective game. Looks cute. Hopefully its actually good, either way, it will at least be somewhat original.

Well if I hadn't just finished two first/3rd person RPG games back to back i might give it a shot, but i need a break so no Oblivion for me.

It felt like each new area got progressively worse. That first map i was having so much fun. By the time I got to the 4th map it was so desolate I barely bothered to climb and find new things. Story wise it did that thing where the player knows the mystery way before any of the characters. I imagine it would be less obvious if I hadn't played previous games. "It was ok" sums it up pretty well

Beat avowed. I enjoyed it. The worst part about is it that you are aedyran. Limits role playing. The best thing about the game is how they managed to make it feel like Eora. Don't want to go into particulars. Maybe I will write something in the avowed spoilers page. One thing is for sure. After playing kcd2 and avowed back to back, I am done with first person RPGs for a while.

Im surprised how much I'm enjoying avowed. It might just be my strong bias towards obsidian games. I also wonder if I had played this before KCD2 if my thoughts would have changed. Main character has a set role. Choices are pretty basic. Missions are very repetitive and yet... I am really enjoying myself. It could be that Eora is doing the heavy lifting.

I had high hopes for that game. I don't think I even made it 5 hours.

I finally started playing avowed now that KCD2 is done. It's a nice shift from realism to pure fantasy. Mostly ive just been exploring and jumping. It's a lot less stressful so far.

I should say that I like the game. Characters, dialogue and gameplay were all very good. I just have some issues with the pacing and overall narrative.
