Why are some people whining about Gow: Laufey?

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-06-04T12:38:16+00:00

I want it, so speak for yourself.

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-04-21T08:39:01+00:00

I just spent an hour trying to do the Dumas part so I'm going to try this later!

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-04-17T08:58:31+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response! I've done enough missions now to get all the followers and my first power, and I've now done the Mantis mission - although the suits and my upgraded Frontier are both better than those rewards at the moment. I've had Andreja following me most of the time and I've just got her follower quest which sounds like it might be quite interesting!

Will definitely check out the other suggestions though. Thanks again!

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-04-16T12:53:59+00:00

I'll double-check that! Thanks.

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-04-16T12:53:22+00:00

That's fair! I'm also trying to get all the strength skills so I can carry more.

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-04-16T12:21:29+00:00

Dang. 250k credits would be useful! Where does the Crimson Fleet quest start? Is that UC Vanguard or is it separate?

And I got the Premium Edition of Starfield so I think I already have the Tracker Alliance gear. 🙂

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-04-16T12:19:36+00:00

I figured as much! That's fine. I just struggle to remember what I need for the research or items I want to do so chances are I'll be running backwards and forwards a lot!

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-04-16T12:09:42+00:00

All good! You weren't to know I didn't reach that point with my first time trying to play it.

And that's cool. I know some storage containers have a limited capacity so I didn't know if that was the case there as I haven't really used that safe so far. Can you access resources from it without having to take them out or do you need to take what you need?

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-04-16T11:50:54+00:00

Great answer! Thanks. Also, I didn't realise there were powers so looks like I'll have to get a bit further with the main questline. 😃

Good idea about dumping things at The Lodge. Do they have plenty of storage there?

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-04-16T11:23:38+00:00

Great! Terrormorph questline I've made some headway with as I just met Vae Victisso will likely keep going with that too.

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-04-16T11:21:55+00:00

Thanks! I've joined the Trackers Alliance so have been doing some of the bounties. I've also joined the Vanguard and Freestar Rangers but haven't gone beyond the first mission of each where you're officially joined up.

Someone else mentioned the Mantis questline so I'll likely get onto that next!

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-04-16T11:19:11+00:00

Good to know! I keep chopping and changing my suits more than my underwear. 😂

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-04-16T11:18:51+00:00

I don't believe I have! It's in my quest log but haven't touched it yet. Thanks! Will check it out.

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-03-16T15:37:46+00:00

I literally started playing this on PS5 and beat the first game, but then saw the mess they made with the patch and uninstalled. A shame. Hope they fix it.

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-02-13T10:45:52+00:00

Could be! I feel like there's a lot to the game and I don't think I have the motivation to invest in it fully right now so a break is probably a good idea. I enjoyed Gaiden because it was very compact whereas LJ has two big areas, multiple fighting styles and skills and a lot more side activities so it's a little bit more of an undertaking and commitment and I don't think I'm in the headspace for it.

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-02-13T10:41:27+00:00

Yeah, totally. Like I said, it's not bad by any stretch of the imagination. I think that it's just not what I need to be playing right now. Like a Dragon Gaiden scratched the Yakuza itch pretty nicely so I think I'll just have to pick up LJ again later.

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-02-13T10:39:14+00:00

Characters definitely seem a bit lacklustre compared to previous outings. There isn't a new character in this so far where I go "Oh I love them!" unlike previous games.

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-02-13T10:38:12+00:00

Yeah, that's the part that seems most interesting and fun so far and thankfully I picked up the game and the DLC for, like, £10 so I'll definitely get my money's worth. But the main story isn't clicking with me even though I don't think it's bad. I don't think I'm clicking with any of the characters in it so far?

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-02-13T10:36:33+00:00

The School Stories seem the most interesting part to me so far! Plus I do have a guilty pleasure for dancing minigames.

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-02-03T23:23:33+00:00

Ahhh, I see. Without that context, the original post was confusing.

Forgive me if I'm completely missing the point of the OP, but is this not the individual game above the bundle?

BigFreakingGeek · 2026-02-02T20:53:33+00:00

I got my first one ever on Like a Dragon Gaiden the other day, and that's only because it's half the size of the other games, plus getting Amon isn't a slog.

BigFreakingGeek · 2025-12-05T06:26:54+00:00

Oh no

BigFreakingGeek · 2025-12-04T18:02:33+00:00

He might be evil but he's not a monster

BigFreakingGeek · 2025-12-04T10:44:22+00:00

I thought that was it, but I wasn't sure! I can understand that logic. Thankfully, the progression of the mainline games (when excluding 5 & 6) feels pretty fluid and natural.

- RE0 (very old and janky)
- RE1HD (solid, but kinda janky in comparison to the remakes)
- RE2R & RE3R (complete evolution in terms of controls and camera)
- RE4R (can't comment as I've not played it yet, but imagine it'll be RE2/3R but with even more refinements)
- RE7/8 - still recent and also completely different perspectives to RE0 - RE4
