You want them to voice the protagonist and also have multiple options for voices? That is definitely not going to happen. If it's voiced, you will only get 1 male and 1 female. It would cost so much money(and time) to have a bunch of voice actors do all the dialog.

I absolutely can't get into cyberpunk sadly. I'm sure the story is good. I just really loath when games give you 100 missions on the map instantly... it feels like a ubisoft game, and I have never finished a ubisoft game. It's almost to the point where you can't explore because you are bound to run into a quest. One of those quests makes you drive someone to a hospital. While driving, a bunch of school kids cross the road... the game forces you to stop and then I pretty much gave up on the game. not that I wanted to run them over(I did want to) but it just made me feel like the game was limiting my role playing (as a child murderer) 0/10

Same. It was also my fault because I bought a game and had a Mac. The game works for Mac but not their version. Basically could have stopped after "it's my fault because I had a mac"

Kind of playing colony ship... kind of playing trails of cold steel. I can't seem to do anything in colony ship. Has a disclaimer that it's hard... and it is. Cold steel is just kind of boring. I like the series but it is rather predictable. And the game loop is very repetitive. I am having a hell of a time getting into any video games lately

I also loved this game... even though it made no sense to me. Also there was a ninja turtles game that was top down(until you entered the sewers) that I played so much as a kid... replayed it as an adult, beat the first level, then realized I never got that far as a kid.... though to be fair even as a group of 5 adults we only got to the third level once

Yeah I'm not saying none are gritty. Just most of the ones I've played the bad guys are obviously bad and the good guys are obviously good. Persona is also quite dark. And I like the dark ones

Ff7 is darker than most jrpgs. I've played more jrpgs where no one dies they just get knocked out. 1 game a genre is not

I do wish jrpgs were a little grittier. I enjoy them but very tropey.

I think Microsoft is fine with however long it takes. With all the new game pass additions I think they will be patient.

I imagine implementing combat differences between orlan and aumoua(sp) would be very difficult

I think it depends. I'm still not convinced we will have the same amount of choice on character in avowed. Can we be orlan? Are we a blank slate or do we have some backstory? The title avowed seems to suggest we are (at least to start) already pledged to something. Which makes me think we probably won't be choosing where we are from. All speculation at this point.

I feel you. Especially in that game where part of the fun is failing. My brain can't handle all that failure. If I wanted to fail I'd just live my real life.

I am in the same place for the last few months. I can play video games for like 15 minutes before I get bored. I think its been since cyberpunk actually. I had such high hopes and then didn't really like it and nothing has been able to hold my attention since...

Hopefully they are working hard on a fake demo gameplay video

Sounds they should drop the 'versus'

Yeah too much for my SSD unless I delete everything else. If it was a full game I wouldn't mind, but for now I'll wait

Is the file size still huge? It takes up pretty much all my SSD space... I need to upgrade

That and waiting in line with a bunch of people buying lottery tickets in front of me is what I imagine hell is

Not for me. To keep my immersion I would like to be able to try and romance everyone but always fail

Yeah I get why they did it. Just is immersion breaking when everyone likes me.

Was dead fire steeped in identity politics? I mean everyone was bisexual which I find annoying personally (not for political reasons I just think you being everyones type was a little lame) Outerworlds had a lesbian character who was not interested in a sexual relationship. There was also a gay guy that loved Hawthorne... I think. If that's enough to make you dislike a game... That might be your issue and not the worlds

She is awful. It was so inexplicable I had to read the books to try and justify choosing her aside from her being hot. All the books did was make me dislike Trish... I started with witcher 3... Hated not knowing the characters back story... So I played witcher 1 and 2... Realized I still had no idea who anyone was... Tried to read the books, realized a couple books in that I just don't like the witcher universe. Everyone is unlikable IMO. Geralt claims the queen ladies first child... Then they have a child and he's like "naaah I don't actually care about that kid you can keep her... Because I don't believe in destiny". Then why claim the kid in the first place? I've never spent so much time trying to get into a story before. Still haven't finished witcher 3. I wouldn't say it's bad, just a way too much work to catch up to the lore... And the books aren't very good in my opinion.

If you liked the "SEED" score mechanic the trails series has something similar. It can be a little tedious but if you play JRPGs I assume you probably can handle some level of tedium

Yeaaah I never did that though. I didn't even really realize having stock piles of magic made it stronger... Which is my issue with the difficulty boost. It's really not necessary until the very end. I was equipping 1 ultima to everyone and that got me right until the final gauntlet ... Then I read a walkthrough and decided to just cheat for the ending... Which story wise was kind of dumb

I love the first half of FF8. The ending is real bad though. It's one of those games where it's relatively easy until the last boss and then they are like "oh you didn't prepare for this huge jump in difficulty for the final boss? That's too bad"
