Yes. That definitely happens. Make sure to get the wayward compass and find the map guy every time you go to a new area. That really helps.
Yes it is, and I would advise you to not look up too much initially. Entering each new territory and trying to get your bearings is parts of the experience. The only advice I would give is same as above, prioritize finding the map guy and make sure you've bought the map and quill from the shop in Dirtmouth and equip the compass, aka the strongest charm in the game. Enjoy the adventure!
Nothing like a scrap to digest that delicious toffee pudding.Yeah I think we did. Good to hear so. Looking forward to trying it out.
Haha, that's exactly how I felt about the first game. I can't ever remember feeling so detached from and annoyed by a main character and couldn't stand loads of the gibberish exposition. More than likely why I wont bother with this one either.Horizon Forbidden West is the equivalent of dating the most beautiful person that ever lived but then discovering that they won't stop talking...Endlessly. Endlessly. Talking.
I feel like i'm being really mean because there's a good story here and the gameplay is really fun but i'm so tired of these exposition dumps that go on and on: the way they're telling the story just kills the pace of the game for me. And you can't not talk in case you're missing vital plot info.
Giving this a break and moving on to Elden Ring in two and a half hours
I don't remember there being nearly as much talking in the first game but maybe my memory blocked it out. This one is a good game with fun combat but, man some of the exposition dumps have been brutal to get through.

Yeah, actually it is. The contrast in story telling vs just ...well, lore, is interesting. I'm usually far more invested in the former but I have to say Elden Ring's lack of verbosity is very welcome.Sounds like the same issue I had with God of War. At a certain point I just feel like I'm being treated like an idiot by the game.
Elden Ring is probably going to be the polar opposite experience
You might want to still play them, they still play well enough and are great games for their time. Brill story.
As far as I know, the last gen versions of Cyberpunk are still a disaster. Check digital foundry for the latest. As for the game, the setting is GTA in blade runner, yes but remember it's an RPG first and foremost and not a shooter.
Nice ! Thats the one I'm leaning towards. I loved Yakuza 0 but the others in the franchise seem a step below. And judgment isn't on much of a deal anyway. Plus spiritfairer seems a bit laborious gameplay loop wise.
0 was just fantastic. I hope SoW doesn't end up feeling like a button mashing drag. And I'm not to your extreme but if a game doesn't excite me I do switch. Given I didn't play the 1st game, this should be fresh and interesting for me.She says "6 is ok, Judgement is better though but none will compare to 0 for you now. Shadow of War is definitely the best bargain as it's fun to play and will last you a fair while".
I trust her judgement on these things, she completes everything she plays whilst I'm out here resetting every couple of hours then ultimately getting bored
Seems to be highly rated. But after Subnautica Below Zero (which like the original is fantastic) I think a change of pace is in order. Will probably try in the future.
Yeah I finished 999 the other day. It's pretty good. Enjoyed the puzzles. The dialogue parts are annoying about how dumb they talk. They talk as if they are explaining to a 4 year old. The story was good with the twist and turns. I'm a bit burnt out at the moment from the puzzles. I started VLR 2 days ago and got 4 hours into it. Put the PS5 in rest mode and somehow the PS shut off completely after I came back an hour later. Had to restart the damn thing again. So I fast forward through the whole thing and got 3 hours further....I turned it off to go to bed. I forgot to save the damn thing again!
