  • Yah basically my viewpoint exactly. I loved pgr and was excited to see what their next outing would be, just to be disappointed that besides the combat it felt very much like a genshin skin. Collecting the gold cubes, doing shooting mini games, basically identical UI… It’s as if someone said now that genshin has had time to mature and gain mass appeal, let’s put out an inferior copy and have a perceived poor launch.

    I really hope they find a way to differentiate the game, even if just a little because idk what would keep people here over their maxed genshin accounts. The reason I quit genshin was because after hundreds of hours climbing mountains and gliding to the next treasure chest I saw ad nauseum got extremely old and pointless considering that you level your characters for these huge damage numbers just to run the same abyss for the 500th time. Combat seems to be everyone’s favorite part so I really hope they lean into it and create some cool mechanics and features and stop with the “speed run” events where you could basically walk it and still get max rewards.

    Btw, are you keeping up with news for the game at all? Since leaving reddit I’ve had a hard time keeping up with more niche subjects like gacha games…





  • I’m assuming they’re gonna crazily expand the city to feel game size. So a few NYC central parks-alikes for typical forest pokemon, some aquariums and a coastline for water types, some dark alleys for dark type. Something like that maybe?

    TBH I’m just sad it’s not a normal remake. Gen 3 was my favorite because that’s the one I played as a kid, but gen 5 is when I got into competitive battling and farming so I really enjoyed it as well.













  • Yeah so I was basically in the same boat as you when I first started. Played like half of trails in the sky 1 forever ago and then started with cold steel 1, then beat it and 2 and 3. Then looped back. I really do think there is something to gain by playing liberl and crossbell; liberl especially stuck out to me. I know crossbell is more acclaimed and it was definitely good but I think just how the game looks and the storyline is something else. Upon coming back to erebonia I realized how much I actually disliked those games compared to the others because of how ridiculous it was, what with all the girls falling over rean and some of the other plot points.

    spoiler

    ___The mecha reveal fight was pretty badass though and kind of blew my mind though lol

    Anyways if you like the series you should definitely play them even if you think you don’t need to. All the references and character reappearances are mind blowing. I do want to at least finish 4 at some point, to give some kind of closure.


  • Just beat tears of the kingdom. I think if totk had been released instead of botw it probably would’ve been one of the best games ever made… But with it being a follow up to botw it just felt way too similar for me to enjoy it. I essentially 100%ed botw so had no desire to just redo it again in totk. Basically just ran through the main story, did whatever side quests were easy, then fought Ganon. In a vacuum it was still a great game but I was sad it was so similar to botw.

    Now playing the system shock remake. I beat 2 for the first time a few years ago and loved prey so have been excited to start it. Enjoying it so far for sure.
