The game made me laugh out loud a couple of times early on, but it's also established clearly in the loading screen that... yes, the game has no real conclusion, and loops around dissatisfyingly forever, without ever hitting what you'd call a punchline. It also doesn't really have gameplay?

Yes, I am pleased to inform you that Travis Touchdown is a real one.

Speaking of Travis I bought nmh3 and it's pretty fun so far.

when I played Skyrim I stopped the main quest right before you wake up the dragons and did all the stuff I wanted to do and power leveled like crazy and it was basically the best way to play

i can't tell if the problem with my pathfinder 2e game is pathfinder, the DM, the group, or me. Pretty much nothing is clicking.

pathfinder is by far the most grognardy version of the fantasy d20 games so if your group is leaning heavily into the metagame of it and such then it’s possible the answer is “everyone else sucks and the game is enabling them”

i tend to power-level in every game prior to following the main quest and then am kinda disappointed when i get to the boss and kill him in one hit.

i beat wolfenstein 2 again recently and even on max difficulty i barely noticed the end bosses. two giant robots you've never seen anywhere else in the game and i killed them both in like 15 seconds with one maximum charge lasergewehr. sheesh

octopath's combat system is similar, but i was really dissatisfied with the story. maybe give dragon quest 11 a go?

I really wanted to like octopath but quit after 15ish hours because it was really boring. it could have also used some sort of side quest tracker/journal.

great music and art tho

I can't seem to break out of the confines of "get mission" > "go kill bad guy". And the fights are kind of boring, a lot of rules lawyering and enemies with great DC /reflexes means they become a bit of a slog.

I have a wizard with hundreds of spells to choose from, and I've been building a wizarding school during downtime. That seems cool, but the actual gameplay is about hoping you roll well and hope you do a lot of damage, nothing else seems to factor in

I've never played a Yakuza game but I just looked this character up.

quote:

He wanders around on his own, taking down every zombie he sees until he comes up with the idea to try to "detox" himself after he happens upon a sauna. The idea is to "sweat out" all of the zombie toxins to prevent him from turning. He is not seen again until the end of the game, where it is revealed that the zombie who bit him had dentures, which did not transfer the poison into his arm, despite breaking the skin. It is also revealed that the reason his eye had turned red is because it was allergy season, not because he was turning into a zombie.

It's absolutely worth the $60 especially if you buy the switch version which adds a bunch more story, and you can play the entire game in 2d mode.

unless of course you discover that, actually, you do not at all want to play a jrpg. the impulse being one of misplaced nostalgia from a child with a vivid imagination and too much time on their hands.

but the demo will easily tell you whether this is the case.
