Curious. What puts you off in Ivalice Chronicles?

anyone who played Hogwarts Legacy after the huge outcry about boycotting it for trans solidarity deserves to be disappointed

I didn't expect anything from Hogwarts Lefacy so I was positively surprised. I enjoyed my run but would not do another.

Horizon Zero Dawn on the other hand never clicked, I have had it for a while, never finished it.

compared to all other harry potter games, hogwarts legacy is a masterpiece

Outer Wilds (not Worlds) is incredible, I doubt you'll regret playing it.

Well, you might. Some people do bounce off; usually due to not knowing where to go next, or what to do next. But if you're the kind of person who doesn't want your hand holding and are okay to persevere a little, you'll probably have a good time.

No other game for me has ever matched the feeling of exploration and discovery, and that is only possible because the game gives you a long leash.

Yeah I think I got Arkham Knight for free and I played it until the first batmobile puzzle then never played it again. It just was not enjoyable

I played it out of morbid curiosity after everyone started talking how bad it was. I went in like "It can't be THAT bad, can it?" - and indeed, it can. I'm still amazed that menus are fucking .swf files (Adobe Flash for those too young to recognize it)

It's one of the least credible scifi settings I've ever seen. Also, despite the whole "multiverse" the main story tries to paint, it's much closer to a time loop, given how nothing changes and effectively none of your actions are acknowledged by anyone. City NPCs won't even react to your ~~dragon shouts~~ ~~Force use~~ totally unique space magic, unless it hits them, then it's just like being shot. Even Oblivion guards would tell you to holster your weapons, Starfield guards won't even grunt if you shoot around like a maniac (but hit nobody)

I am so glad for game pass (at least before the price hike).

I tried Starfield and found it just so contrived and boring. To being made to touch and gather the weird space magic stuff in the asteroid to just suddenly being given a space ship to the inane combat and awful environments.

And this is someone coming from over 5,000 hours in F04 (and 2000 across Fallout titles, and God knows how much across Morrowwind, Skyrim, Oblivion etc). I am very much used to Bethesda jank.

But jeebus, Starfield is as compelling as wet toast. I read the synopsis of the game and was utterly relieved to have missed wasting countless hours in what has to be one of the worst written and developed games of the past 10 years.

That said it is clear Starfield was a huge pump and dump scheme by Zenimax to sell Bethesda to MS under the idea Starfield was gonna be the next Elder Scroll/fallout block buster. (not to mention populating stories about giving Sony an exclusive on Starfield to make MS jealous)

Little did they know they were buying pure Todd co~~ke~~pium that had been cut with a shit tone of sweet'n low

I played DNF shortly after release 🏴‍☠️ , but I was already an adult by then and was aware of the development hell that the game went thru. Started playing not expecting much and I was still disappointed.

"Power armor is for pussies!" - says the guy whose game is almost literally a shitty Halo: only 2 weapons, limited ammo, regenerating ~~shield~~ ego.

Came here for the same thing.

Found ER way too easy after the souls trilogy.

The open world and torrent let you run away anything you want, making the open world a very safe and not dangerous at all place.

Paradoxaly, riding 10km in 5min makes the Lands Between feel way smaller than any dark souls area, where you have to fight for you like every meter

Tbf i liked doing malenia and radahn, and all the "big dungeons". (Damn actually i would prefer the game if it were just the concatenation of all dungons like a souls game.)

Anyway, very sad to enjoy this game as i loved the souls

AND GIVE ME BACK THE HELLISH RUNBACKS, I WANT TO FEEL THE FEAR OF DYING WHEN I FIGHT BOSSES (thank you silksong)
