coopaloop1234 Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 My issue with Immortal was that about the halfway mark all combat became trivial. You could just stunlock any enemy to death with very little effort. After that the need for opening up secrets for upgrades became far less appealing since there was no need and it just turned into: "Let's rush through the rest of this and shelf it". I enjoyed the atmosphere and the gameplay until then, but it fell real hard for me at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point there was almost zero requirement to engage most enemies, which is always a challenge for any open world, non-linear game to deal with. The puzzles in the game were awesome, a notch up from Zelda games. Edited August 20, 2021 by seagoal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangoRhinehart Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I picked up Hades on switch while I took a week off work. It was pretty fun. I cant wait for my steam deck to come in so I can play a bunch of games from the couch, as my gaming rig is mostly untouched these days.

I ended up wasting a couple years of my life to WoW in spurts, with time invested in vanilla, BC, Lich King, and Cataclysm. I've got my pros and cons with it. It's very weeby, which would make sense considering it's a FF game and it's made by Square Enix. The races are pretty bland. You have: Human, Tall slender human with elf ears, Cat Human, Short Human, Big Broad Human, A tiger, and a bunny human. The majority of the game is played almost like a single player MMO where there's a "Main Quest Line" that's necessary to progress through the game. It's a core function of the experience to go through this quest line, especially as all content is gated behind in some fashion. It can be a chore to slog through. Anyone can play any class at the drop of a dime. Depending on the weapon you have equipped, your class or "job", changes. I've been one of the tank classes for the majority of it, but am now dabbling in healing and dps. With a quick button press I equip all my gear associated with each role/class, my hotbars completely change, and I'm good to go. It's very, very friendly for people that like leveling alts. It uses the typical holy trinity in most MMO's: Tank, Healer, DPS. Though all classes do decent dps, even healers. I'm enjoying it, my favourite part of MMO's was always leveling new characters and playing different classes, so it works very well for my taste. But man, I wish teh aesthetic was more in line with my preferences. Either way, they have a "free trial" where you get to experience the base game, and the first expansion all for free. It's got a few caveats like you're unable to add friends (they can add you), can't going a Free Company (guilds), and can't put anything on the auction house.

Haha, nice. He's fun. My top 4 in that game are Noob, Rain, Jade, Skarlet. I've always liked the darker, less normal human, more magical characters better. I never play the human military characters, I just find them boring in fighting games. Noob Saibot is great, I love his shit talking too. "Always watching." "Death comes for all." Naturally my favorite mask for him is his goalie mask, duh. He could have been on a Rinne mask over the years with this mask Edited August 26, 2021 by seagoal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
