For you.

Yeah, i'm 100% with you on this. There were some rare occasions where i thought "yeah i couldn't do anything here", but they were really scarse.



But that's a given if the games has procedural and random elements in it (in this case, the creatures behaviour)

Spelunky also had some situations like this. Is it bad becaues of that? Of course not.

Yep. The only possible to way to fix those situations would be to do away with the system, which would completely ruin the game. The whole point is it being a living sprawling ecosystem where all sort of creature behaviours and situations can happen.

I think giving more time to all reviewers and more hints on the e-mail with the press copy could ease most of these complaints, tbh. There's just so many things to learn, be it interactions with the creatures, the items with creatures or the items with environment itself that i honestly don't think (aside from two areas) that the game is that hard.

Did you finish it? The areas i'm talking about:

Underhang and Five Pebbles (Unfortunate Development)

I was actually yelling at the screen sometimes in the first area

...Yes, everyone should play Toki Tori 2+, the Dark Souls of puzzle-platformers. Forego the white meatball for the yellow one.

Underrated game. It really well thought and having all the abilities already from the start but just discovering how to use them as you progress was a good design decision, even the visual clues on the levels pointing to what you need to do.

Nothing screams politics and intrigue in the Middle Ages like Buffy the Vampire Slayer hunting down Satanists.

I mean you can also turn it off and do boring stuff like plot to kill people and go on crusades.

Maybe not for a while, I don't want to touch a souls game anytime soon.

Did you have a PS4 before? What made you upgrade if so, otherwise what sold you on a PS4?

This is my first ever Sony console. I bought it for Horizon.

The gateway drug to consoles!!!

I love my Pro, it's a great system. It makes playing console games more tolerable because the resolution and frame rate are closer to what you expect from a PC game.

I was playing Horizon, as pretty as it was, some low-poly objects and bad LoD pop-ins still showed its a console game.

It's got about 250k on JP PS4 right?

If it can beat that on PC before it even gets to its first notable sale that would be amazing.
Click to expand...

Its still in the top 5 best sellers on steam and releases in more Asian countries in April, so I could see it reaching that number before it hits a sale.

All those people who tried to downplay the importance of a timely PC release look so silly.

Even after this, Square Enix will still release some of their games 6 months to a year after the PS4 Version.

After Styx 2 I decided to give Of Orcs And Men another go (for the lore!)

If you take a side quest in the game you are locked into it until the end. So if you can't finish it, you can only go back to your last manual save, assuming you made one at the hub. The first time I got stuck I played a section over. The next time, fully planning to save before taking on another quest, simply talking to an NPC transported me to a quest without being able to save. Couldn't beat that quest.

I don't have time for that. Done.

Just wrapped up the true ending in 999-- wow, it was one of those games I had been meaning to finish for years but it just always sat in the backlog. The Steam version added a flow chart which was appreciated and the new voice acting is well done, nobody sounded out of character in my mind. I had my suspicions throughout the game but ended up being dead wrong on a few guesses such as
the relationship between Junpei/June, I was convinced they were an alternate world version of each other or at least related.
I really enjoyed it and my mind is still racing trying to put everything together.

Regarding the puzzle change in the Steam version, I watched the DS version on youtube and
can see how a 2nd screen would be a cool effect but I didn't think it was wholly crucial for the impact of the reveal or endgame, I was still pretty shook. The replacement cipher puzzle they used was kind of a letdown as it was simple, but didn't detract from the ending for me.

On to VLR this weekend!

Honestly, people tend to blow things way out of proportion with this series, for some reason. It's not like the entire game actually suffers by removing that particular twist, it was just a neat gimmick. Plus, the original puzzle was literally
fucking sudoku
, so that's no big loss either. Other things that people exaggerate to a ridiculous extent:

-No, you don't absolutely need to play 999 before VLR. It's better if you have but you won't actually miss out on much if you haven't.
-Zero Time Dilemma wasn't anywhere near as bad as some people like to claim.

I don't want to buy another indie game, I've got so many good things to play already

also by the time it comes to Switch I might be finished with Nier and Zelda so

I would kill for an Nvidia Shield EXACTLY like the Switch but it'll never happen :(
