#Hltb like a dragon ishin Ps4
I completed Ishin back at the PS4 launch and I really enjoyed it, but I guess this turn based jrpg style isn't for had my eye on LaD for a while, but your post has convinced me not to bother with it - I just can't be done anymore with putting that much time into a game when the gameplay isn't there to see you through, no matter how good the story or endearing the characters.
I think I should give up on this while I still have the stomach to try Judgment and before I burn out on the whole series. It was a toss up for me between playing this and Judgment and I went with this, a mistake in hindsight. I`m as invested in the story/characters/setting etc as I was at the start, I just can`t stomach the drudgery of repetitive random battles to make a bunch of arbitrary numbers go up so that the characters (not the player) gain skill and can progress the story.Īlso, if an "autopilot" button for your game`s combat seems like a good idea, and the majority of your game`s gameplay involves combat, you`ve probably messed up somewhere. I like everything about this game aside from the gameplay. I`d happily turn down the difficulty to easy and walk through the rest of the story if that option existed, in fact I`d find that greatly preferable to watching it on youtube. There are far too many games I`m actually excited about playing to stay working my way through what is essentially a 50 hour long chore list of tedium with good cutscenes.ĭear JRPG developers, put difficulty settings in your games. I have Steam, Epic, Prime Gaming, etc etc etc.

Mindlessly grinding to level up (I know there's plenty of grinding coming in the second half having watched a couple of reviews last night to hear opinions as my own interest starts waning) might not even feel particularly disagreeable after a day at work, but is that type of experience really what I want from games, from my free time, from a pastime, etc?Ĭhapter 6 in particular was some of the most tedious gameplay I've experienced in quite a while. There`s an interesting story told through cutscenes and then a "game" of stat management and busywork scaffolded around those cutscenes. My own fault really for thinking a Yakuza skinned JRPG might not suffer from the same issues as other JRPGs, or more precisely that the Yakuza story and setting would offset them enough that I wouldn`t run out of steam halfway through. I was enjoying the game at first but if I`m not currently at the "that`s enough of that" stage, I`m getting there, and leads me to believe that at best I have 30 hours left just to finish the main story (and probably more since HLTB estimates are usually on the low side.). I`m a little over 20 hours into this and I`m starting to think I might be better served by watching the rest of the cutscenes etc on youtube than grinding through the rest of the game. I don`t have a good track record with JRPGs, but I found the setting etc of this one appealing. Like a lot of abandoned playthroughs of highly regarded games, I really have nobody but myself to blame. Also I know this is a popular series/game around here, so forgive me. I`m reluctant to post here because you never know when you`ll come back to something (I finally dragged myself past the finish line in GTA5 a couple of weeks ago, etc). It was an incredibly dour and regretful experience, but whereas in previous years I may well have forced myself through it in a number of smaller chunks, this was so easy to dislike that calling it a day was a no-brainer. I don't know why - and this is totally on me - but the almost low-res and childish-looking enemies immediately turned me off of it. That only left the story, which lost me within the first couple of minutes. The actual gameplay itself was very basic and with the only reason to explore being the living box things, the thought of hunting around the ugly environments became an easy 'nope' to skip. Now my only exposure to Rick & Morty was about 5 minutes I saw of an episode the other night whilst flicking through the channels (it was about a war against giant sperm?) It seemed okay and I chuckled a couple of times, but the humour in this fell completely flat, and given that was meant to be one of the main draws, it wasn't a good sign. I did try - I played the first three bounties - but every aspect of it ground me down.įirstly, I think it's one of the ugliest games I've played in years (and I've been playing a lot of retro stuff!) I hated the art direction, all of it.

And also because I have something I've abandoned this evening, which was High on Life on the Series S. I couldn't see a new thread for this and, as a catch-all that did see a bit of traffic last year I figure why not have it again.
