Don't look up anything about it. Set aside 4 hours or so so you can play it all in one sitting. Take the warning at the beginning seriously. That is all.I guess maybe I should check it out
Mmkay.Don't look up anything about it. Set aside 4 hours or so so you can play it all in one sitting. Take the warning at the beginning seriously. That is all.
This I've never had issue with. I can deal with associating the shapes to the letters. Just Nintendo and Microsoft having the exact same prompts with different button maps.Or how about when you have a PS3 controller instead of an Xbox one, but the control signals are for Xbox and not a Playstation controller!
This was me with the first game.And Xenoblade 2 crashed and I lost 3 hours of progress, including one of those rare ass blades you only get once in a great while at random chance.
And to those of you saying I should save more often? I did. It autosaved after bonding that blade too, didn't matter. I'm pretty fucking mad.
I'm probably done. That's enough to stop me dead in my tracks of not giving a shit about this game again.
This was me when I read the reviews for the first game and decided I wasn't going to buy a crashing PoS. :/This was me with the first game.
I didn't buy it either; it was a Christmas present.This was me when I read the reviews for the first game and decided I wasn't going to buy a crashing PoS. :/
This was me with the X-Com remake, unfortunately. I know it's a great game and I keep meaning to get back to it, but that crash that took hours of progress with it just sent me on to the next thing.This was me with the first game.
Ok, so I took a break and started playing again.Also, Tora the blob rabbit monster is literally the worst character in all games. He's a fucking weeb Jar Jar Binks. Just think if Jar Jar was trying to get Padme to act like a fucking maid so she would be more attractive to Anakin. Or if Jar Jar really wanted to be a Jedi but didn't have force abilities, so he built his own lightsaber that he could fuck. That's Tora the blob rabbit monster.
He screams mehmehmeh mehmehmeh constantly in battle.
I hate him with all my heart.
If the previous game is any indication, it's not worth it. When I quit, I decided to check out the ending on YouTube and it was not worth it. I would've been so pissed if I'd actually played the other 40+ hours of nonsense to get that shitshow of an ending. And the fact that these games have nothing to do with each other means that shit will never get resolved either. So you might be headed for more crap.Ok, so I took a break and started playing again.
I got a new party member and I'm about to spoil something that happens like an hour after getting this new party member, but it has to do with the above hatred of Tora, the fucking piece of shit garbage rabbit.
You get a new dude named Vandham, pronounced Van Damn like JCVD, who is huge, rad, and Australian. So I was like, sweet, fuck off Tora, get the fuck out of here, I'd rather listen to Van Dam shout Muscle Slam, Muscle explosion, fuck I'm so FUCKING BUFF ATTACK! and the like than Tora's constant stream of MEHMEHMEH MEHMEHMEH. Then an hour later, he dies, permanently. BACK TO FUCKING TORA I GUESS. THANKS GAME.
I like the gameplay and find the world fun to run around in. I mostly just hate Tora. I hate him with every fiber of my being.If the previous game is any indication, it's not worth it.

Since it's a PS Plus game, I downloaded Darksiders II. I didn't care for the first one, but so far I'm liking this one. It's a neat little action RPG.
Witcher 3
Oh man, this combat is going to take some real getting used to. I'm getting my ass kicked left and right by drowners.
Left shift is for hard attack... dodge is left ALT, which is even fucking worse. So yeah, I've been relying on rolling, too.. when I remember. I keep trying to parry/riposte, which is part of why I'm still dying to noobtrash.Yeah. He's really difficult to control, and while I've gotten better, I can see this is much more controller friendly than keyboard and mouse friendly. I don't like how he keeps overshooting things that you want to examine or loot either. I keep having to back up and try again to loot. Roach is even worse for that. I keep getting him lodged up against fences, which, okay, that's on me. But then I have a lot of difficulty just backing out or turning around. That's frustrating.
I don't think I've once used dodge. I've rolled plenty, but dodge requires left shift, which is in a weird place.
Yeah, I meant Alt. I definitely use the hard attack. I cannot get counterattack to work for anything, though. The tutorial says, "right as they attack", but nothing seems to work. Every time I try, I just get hit, and it turns out to be better to just roll behind them and cowardly slash their backs.Left shift is for hard attack... dodge is left ALT, which is even fucking worse.

I practiced parry/counter a lot in the tutorial's "free training" section, so I thought I'd gotten good at it, but it turns out the majority of these creatures I'm running into use hard attacks and I guess parry/counter only works on quick attacks or something, because not only do they break my guard but they stun me as well, letting all their pals dogpile on me. So yeah... time to roll like it's Dark Souls.Yeah, I meant Alt. I definitely use the hard attack. I cannot get counterattack to work for anything, though.

In my experience, the first couple of levels were tough in terms of combat, but once you get some skill points in some trees, regular combat goes easy. Most bosses, too. Except for friggin' wraith bosses. Those seem hard every time for me.I practiced parry/counter a lot in the tutorial's "free training" section, so I thought I'd gotten good at it, but it turns out the majority of these creatures I'm running into use hard attacks and I guess parry/counter only works on quick attacks or something, because not only do they break my guard but they stun me as well, letting all their pals dogpile on me.

Quen sign is your friend. Upgraded alternate quen sign that heals you when you get hit is even better.I practiced parry/counter a lot in the tutorial's "free training" section, so I thought I'd gotten good at it, but it turns out the majority of these creatures I'm running into use hard attacks and I guess parry/counter only works on quick attacks or something, because not only do they break my guard but they stun me as well, letting all their pals dogpile on me.

That's another thing, I keep forgetting about using signs.Quen sign is your friend. Upgraded alternate quen sign that heals you when you get hit is even better.
Yep. As I just said, I barely used crafting or alchemy early in. But potions and oils really helped in the later part of the game. Especially once the oils started giving you, say, 50% bonus damage.Alchemy is really important/strong at higher difficulties. At normal or something, I'm not saying you can completely ignore potions but it's certainly not as important.
Well, I didn't say I hated it, just that it was going to take some getting used to because it was so unfamiliar.I honestly don't know why so many people (not just GB & Fade) don't like the combat system. There are certainly plenty that are better, but I didn't think it was that bad.
Ah, gotcha. But if there's one criticism I hear more than any on Witcher 3, it's the combat.Well, I didn't say I hated it, just that it was going to take some getting used to because it was so unfamiliar.
