Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

@WyrmSpawN  
But from what I’ve seen, the graphics look really good.

@Holofan4life  
Are you looking at the game or the cutscenes?

Sucks that Balan Wonderworld turned out so bad. It looked really promising but the gameplay feels like they took the human sections of NiGHTS Journey of Dreams(AKA the absolute worst parts of the game) and doubled down on them

So I decided to download Warface from the eShop.

I remember liking what little of the first game I played yet I never got around to finishing it for some reason. I should probably change that sometime.

@Kiryu-Chan  
Visually, the game is stunning. Gameplay-wise, it’s even worse than Mighty No. 9 and that game had development problems.

@Holofan4life  
Everything.

Wasn’t Balan Wonderworld made by Square Enix? The company that’s responsible for pushing half of all JRPGs onto graphical spectacle when other genres became just as capable at storytelling as RPGs?

@Holofan4life  

 
They made the game utterly boring. That happened.

@Dustcan  

 
And something else I forgot: danger levels are all over the place. Like the world map showing me where the next chapter for a character is and their recommended level. Like Alfyn’s chapter 2? The heads up is flashing that he should be lvl 28. The roads leading to the town however is giving me danger levels of 34.
 
I need to power level just to get to these towns before I can even pursue their stories. This game is fun but geez.

@RogueBadnik  
I still believe the story it’s a scrapped mobile game which would made the controls and lack of moving cut-scenes make sense.

@Holofan4life  

 
The graphics don’t really matter, cause the gameplay and controls is complete shit. The four face button and trigger button do the exact same thing. I’m not kidding.  

I remember getting excited for the demo and immediately I started control, I was baffled by how shit the movement was
 
Honestly I would have tolerated it had they let you play as Balan, he looked so cool

@NitroFury  
Legit, making every button do the same thing is terrible design for 3D games.
 
It can work for certain 2D games, but other than that, don’t EVER do it.

@Holofan4life  
Did you even watch this
 
ALL BUTTONS ARE MAPPED TO JUMP.

“Oops. We pissed off too many people with that one.” - Whoever schmuck is running Sony.

Decided to play some more Witcher 1. I think I have either completed or obtained every quest in the chapter, other than the main story ones. Hopefully I’m not missing anything.

I’ve been playing Repanse De Lyonesse. It’s been a good campaign. Repanse and her right hand man Henri Le Massif are excellent in melee and for taking out enemy lords, which is the best way to beat the undead. Once I got regeneration on them both, they became practically unkillable. I can throw Repanse out in front and when the AI mobs her, I have my damsel of heavens cast Chain Lightning for mass destruction in her general vicinity.
 
I enjoy the extreme mobility of flying cavalry. Being able to just soar over walls and take out isolated units is great.
 
I knocked over all the Tomb Kings and am now helping the Dwarfs fight the Greenskins.

I’m really curious what Creative Assembly is going to do with Cathay in Warhammer Total War 3.
 
Cathay has almost 0 lore in terms of units, abilities, heroes, etc.
 
All we really know is that it’s Fantasy China.

So, I need to get this off my chest. 106% fully completing Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time was not a very fun experience, going through the 77 hours worth of trial and error is not fun at all.

@NitroFury  
I mean, nobody expects to it to be.

And now I have 67% of Bloodstained’s map explored. I’m using the shard that detects breakable walls and the shard that lets you travel as a beam of light to backtrack and find things I missed or thought were inaccessible.

@Zincy  
China is big into dragons. Dragons are lizards. Therefore, by Luthor Harkon’s logic, Cathay must contain lizard trinkets.
