I tried Grounded Mode and I have no idea how people would beat that later on in the game.

I did too. I still have a desire to finish that.Quote:

In related news, Uncharted 4 did in fact not stink, but part 2 and possibly 3 were better games.

Starting Nioh.
Great fucking game. I'll get back to it eventually. Systems upon systems upon systems.Quote:

I finally got around to The Witcher 3.
This game is pretty intimidating to a newbie to this franchise. I am only a few hours in and I'm already overwhelmed.
Yeah, I didn't get far into it for the same reason.Quote:

A few thoughts on my short time so far with Nioh:
Not very pretty. Doesn’t look much better than DS1 or 2. But it runs smoothly. One thing though, I had to turn the brightness WAAAAAY up. It’s too damn dark.
Combat feels great. Took me a bit to get used to using square and triangle instead of the triggers. Also not sure I really understand the stances and what each is best for. I don’t think I’ve changed from mid.
Love the level design. Similar to the Souls games, I’m finding branching paths and shortcuts. Always loved that part.
Don’t really care about the story or lore at this point.
Stances change the speed and stamina usage of each attack. Low stance has very fast attacks but low damage and low stamina use. High stance attacks are very slow but hit hard.
You know you're getting good when you change stances mid-battle.
Really getting into it now.
Gotta say I’m finding it a tad easy, but I imagine that is due to my experience with From games.
As per ususal with these games, my first build is pretty much a tank. The heaviest armour I can find, and I’m using a big axe.
Slant's top 25. At first I'm like, "How can any self-respecting list leave Zelda and Persona out of the top five?" Then I saw the top five and was okay with it.
I think the Slant take on Persona 5 is bad. I don't think it's a more mature realization of the P3/P4 formula, just a more pointedly edgy and overwrought development in the series; it trades some late 90s/early 2000s anime preoccupations and cliches for some other ones. That's just my take though--I'm struggling to feel like continuing Persona 5, which I've been playing in increments since March. The blurb in Slant reads to me like someone whose memory of previous entries in the series might be lacking. (BTW, Persona 3 is one of the games that always ends up near the top of any greatest games of all time list for me.)
Their #1 is unimpeachable, though. Pretty sure it's the best argument for major studio game development to still exist in the year 2017, so very well chosen.
The list is missing one of my favorite 2017 games: Hanano Puzzle 2. https://qrostar0.itch.io/hananopuzzle2
I haven't played a single game on that list. :(
Persona 5 is the greatest game ever. After having played it for 25 hours over about 10 days, I’m not currently open to any opposing takes.
What's great about it?Quote:

And to answer Ezee E's question, a lot of it is aesthetic, the style, the score, just make it feel so damn FUN.
It's also been awhile since I've played a solid, turn-based JRPG, so rediscovering that has been fun too.
But I'm just finding it to be such an engrossing world, and whenever I feel like I have a grip on everything new characters, areas or mechanics are introduced which make it feel new again.
Persona 4 Golden > Persona 5
But really, ShinMegaTen is pretty great all around.
What was the final verdict on Fallout 4?
Do I need to spend a lot of time on the settlement stuff? I really hate building stuff in games.
It's an incredible game. It's the best argument for the B-tier game that used to be so prevalent during the PS1 and PS2 days. The budget was tiny compared to the other big games. The environments are low detail. Tons of invisible walls everywhere, blocking full exploration. Almost nothing to do in the open world. Very few NPCs. However, none of this matters because of how good everything else is. It's also the best argument ever for how important good music is in a video game. Best soundtrack of the decade, probably.Quote:
