So what’ll you do in the game now? PvP? Raid more? What’s fun about the game for you now that you’re reaching the end game?

Milestones give you enough incentive to at least play for an hour or two for a few days every week, at least until you hit 305. I just hit 285 after playing on and off for the past couple weeks, it's a good game to just shoot the poo poo with other people or listen to podcasts.

You should give the East content a try imo, they put out enough stuff each week that's really entertaining. Abby rules too.

This is inscrutable.
part of it is that ff14 has a pretty consistent iconography for how mechanics work so its hard to follow if you don't know that like for instance an arrow pointing at someone means the group needs to stack on them to split damage, and v3s in particular is kinda hard to read by design because her gimmick is just throwing the group a series of visual logic puzzles that you have to quickly read and solve. like early on she targets one player to be stacked on, and 3 other players to do area damage to the group, and also 2 pairs of players that will swap positions immediately before the damage goes out, so the puzzle is to look at where you are and who you're connected to, and figure out where your partner needs to end up

Yeah I mean, (not referring to anyone in this thread) I think it's pretty cool and good to have a pretty, well-made Pew Pew spacegame I can fire up and play whenever I want without having a fit about what I "need" to do.

quote:

If you have other games to play, and a lot of other stuff in your life then you shouldn't be trying to get into a game that marketed itself as an MMORPG-FPS with a rich story, MMORPG's and RPG's require the player to take time to progress their character in order to get better weapons/gear/abilities/skills etc. people like that aspect of RPG's and that's what keeps people playing. This game essentially took that aspect of the game and dumbed it down to the point where there is little to no progression in the game, the only thing that changes as you level up or "progress" are the numbers you see after shooting an enemy. They took out stat-rolls on items and gear, changed and cut the stat and skill system down, and made exotics watered down common drops that don't really do anything special any more. They did all this for "balance" in a game where the PvP was already subpar and received little to no attention from the community, and they somehow managed to dumb that down and cut it up to make it even worse. This game doesn't know if it wants to be an MMORPGFPS, a halo reskin, or call of duty (thanks activision.) PvP is bad, the PvE is ok but not as good as D1, the lore is still missing, the story is still missing, then endgame is still missing everything people loved about D1 is gone but everything that was hated is still here. The only thing this game does well is the atmosphere. It's accessible atmosphere for idiots.

I mean just lol at "if you have a life you shouldn't be able to get into this game"

Also, while I still have a handful of sidequests, some post game stuff and some dlc to play, I feel comfortable saying that Gravity Rush 2 is in fact a bad game. It's not the type of bad game that makes me mad but rather the type that makes me sad because it really could have been something special had they not hosed up so much. They're are elements I tally like but even those come with negatives while and on top of that there's is a bunch of stuff that is just bafflingly bad.

Oh well. Don't regret playing it but I don't suggest anyone else bother.
