    I’m loving the final fantasy combat/ gameplay. What I don’t like is, lack of playable character, lack of a “real” party, and equipment progress. The story on the other hand… I found it to be too dark and taking itself too seriously at times. Some part of the story is similar with FFXIV, and I think the 14 did it better. The game as a whole, has pacing issue. The last third of the game, is moving the plot very slowly. The ending on the other hand, was done well. It was bittersweet, but on the same time, it gave the same ending vibes as the movie Inception. :D. The ending didn’t destroy me like the 15 did tho. The 15’s ending made me cry like a baby…

    BG3 is good! I enjoy it very much. I’m still very early as I was remaking my character again and again (I think I made about 8-10 characters until I was satisfied).

    Buying games on release is for suckers and rubes. Stop being suckers and rubes.

    I’ve been playing mostly retro and haven’t been happier. Sounds like a sucker problem.

    Yep, I was getting a bit down on gaming. So I went back to one I love (Horizon Zero Dawn) and started one that’s not usually my type (Hollow Knight). It’s like I’m 12 years old all over again, and now I want to play every indie platformer out there lol

    I enjoyed Far Cry 3 recently on my PS3.

    Then I got Far Cry 4 on my PC and it’s kinda fucking awful.

          IMHO yes. It is among my favorite games of all time.

          The plot is of course nonsense (all far cry plots are garbage), but the core gameplay loop is tight, the shooting feels good and there’s a diverse arsenal, you get a large selection of colorful sidekicks and animal companions, the most annoying mechanics of earlier titles in the franchise were fixed or removed in 5, and the entire campaign can be played coop after you escape from tutorial Island.

          It doesn’t take itself too seriously but it’s also a internally consistent rural Montana simulator. Stealth mechanics feel great (subjective ofc) but more aggressive strategies work well too. The base game has plenty of content and goes on sale frequently.

          It was everything I loved about FC3 but more of it and bigger and polished to a radiant shine, with a kitschy rural US setting.

            I got a few of the older FC games when they were like 5 bucks each, launched FC5 yesterday and the first part felt sort of like a return to form.
