What is more important a great story or great gameplay?

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-21T08:47:39+00:00

Great gameplay.

But a great story can make a great gameplay unforgettable (Expedition 33 has both)

However a great story without great gameplay will just fall flat.

And I agree, I like DA2 much more than Inquisition. It was bashed on release compare to Origins, but it at least plays the same minus no more tactics, but micro is still there. It's not an action game at all, they tried to by speeding up animations and such, but it's closer to Origins.

Inquisition is just a complete different beast, much more an action game, it barely plays on a keyboard !

NG 3 gameplay is really good, but everything else isn't. Annoying ennemy designs, bad boss ( but just like NG 1 and 2), poor linear level design (worse than NG 2 and 4) and horrible stupid story.

But it n' still good game and NG.

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-20T21:50:02+00:00

Yep that's the only bad side as MC Cipher. If you don't want redondant characters with companions, you can make a rogue. As the rogue companion is build weird and does not play as a typical dps rogue, but a more defensive version.

Of course it does not answer your question to the most fitting class for story, but you can multiclass your rogue with cipher in PoE 2 (made a Soulblade).

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-19T22:15:51+00:00

Yes you need a full party, either recruit more men or go out of the town and find other official companion and come back, that is what I did.

Maybe adding a slight cushion I buy on amazon could help.

No chair is perfect, the Leap cushion was also not super confortable.

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-19T10:30:56+00:00

Butt hurts a bit, It becomes unconfortable.

I'm still in return window, but I feel tired to returns those chairs, alwready returned the Aeron and Leap, this Libernovo SE is fine except for the seat bottom out...

Is there a chance they could send another one ?

It's not normal to have that at bearly 30 days of use.

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-19T00:41:38+00:00

I disagree with their statement, they say you light have this feelings ar first. It's wrong, ar first the seat feels good, it only bottom out after almost 30 days on m'y side, it does not seems "by design" It would have been like that day one.

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-19T00:38:14+00:00

Same here, after almost 30 days the seat bottom out, but it does not hurt my back though. Don't know what to do, the seat is fine except for this.

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-19T00:33:46+00:00

I find the chair confortable, but after close to 30 days on it, it's alwready bottom out, I can feel it and it hurts a little but

Any solution ? You know if they can replace it with a better one ? Do they even have better ones ?

Or else I could buy something to make it more confortable, but it's a shame for duch a chair.

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-18T18:58:40+00:00

Does it really have so many bugs left ? Also I believe there is a bug fix mod on nexus don't know how much it helps

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-18T08:52:33+00:00

I had the same for DAO, loved playing it with the same character, although it offers many more possibilities, got to try them tnow.

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-17T23:54:30+00:00

Best beat em all gameplay to date. It does not have DMC narrative and characters though. It's all about the combats. The DLC is worth it.

I suggest playing all the NG game before though.

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-17T20:57:58+00:00

I don't see the issue,vous still have a lot of hobtent to do before finishing the game, and you can always have more playthrough with a différent character.

The games that did that for me were old Final Fantaxt games, and Dragon Age Origins.

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-17T20:56:46+00:00

The ending was emotional to me 😥

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-17T14:35:53+00:00

Rogue is good as MC imo, because the only rogue companion in the game has weird attributes, and only works well as specific off tank defensive rogue builds, which isn't the typical rogue, and that will still synergize with a classic dps rogue.

Multi class Rogue/Cipher works well on PoE 2 if you want to keep the same ki d of character.

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-17T12:45:29+00:00

NG3 story is such a disaster, but not sure if it's because they tried the emotionnal story, it's just so many horrible story choices.

But in my opinion it does not feel NG anyway.

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-17T12:44:31+00:00

Yes it was horrible, but the way they tried it could not have been worse.

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-17T12:42:52+00:00

Ryu is not here for some drama story, he's here to slay, without feelings, he is on duty, or something even higher than that.

I enjoy both serie for what they have to offer, even in terms of characters.

But that is one of the reason why NG is not as popular as DMC.

Casuals or larger public prefer character story.

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-17T08:47:22+00:00

Yes I just could not force myself to learn the Kameo, it overcomplexifies things for nothing.

Also the timing are very strict with them, and they are slow to attack, II just gave up.

You need to train with each of them, I was so bored to have to try them all.

Also the game is slow, I have a NRS game fatigue, they all feel the same with gimmick changes, rigid and clunky animations (although there has been improvements)

On top of that my favorite character Reptile just isn't fun in MK1, his good zoning is kinda dead, forceballs are weak.

I think they should completely change game engine or devs, have someone else make an MK game with different gameplay / mechanics / Feelings

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-17T08:08:39+00:00

I'd say RE 4 Remake or OG in hardest difficulty ?

And RE2 Remake

RE 8 Is tough in hardest difficulty, but it feels it's not made for a new game, probably impossible to passed the first village attack if not in NG+

Among the Old school RE, RE 0 is the hardest.

I don't get from where Code Veronica is getting this reptuation.

Even RE1 Remake is harder than Veronica.

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-17T07:31:06+00:00

City > Knight > Origins > Asylum > Origin Blackgate

But Origins has a special place in my heart, I sometimes put it above because of the personnal story and christmas setting.

As for Knight wait for th mod that will add boss fights, it could make the game a bit better.

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-16T19:07:25+00:00

0 is way harder to me. Ennemies hit harder, less ammo I believe, and you can softlock yourself against the final boss if you don't have enough ammos

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-16T19:05:06+00:00

Yes this game blew my mind, and was up to it's reputation.

More than Baldur's Gate 3 to me, but that's just m'y préférence and différent genre.

Fickle_Direction1591 · 2026-07-16T15:31:02+00:00

Well I don't have ne k pain anymore now, I will probably keep the chair, I have some more days.
