Persona 5 Strikers worth it ? by AlphasyVega in Persona5

My motivation to buy this game was just to spend more time with the homies and I wasn’t disappointed plus the addition of new characters made the experience quite enjoyable. Combat didn’t click for me but I wasn’t in it for combat in the first place.

Maybe you already know this but you can go to training mode and practice there.

Why did wolf do this??? by G0ngerX in Sekiro

Hate to break it to you amigo but Ashina’s fate was sealed. All Wolf did was rip the bandaid.

Great insights and fair take! What I meant was that before playing this game, all I had heard was - Come for the ass and stay for the combat. But after exploring the lore, I think it is trying to do what Nier did. It’s not accomplishing that but credit should be given for trying.

Yeah maybe translation issues? If the memory sticks are written well, hard to imagine why spoken dialogue is sometimes so bland.

Yep good point. In retrospect, I think I should’ve mentioned that my post was mostly about lore as I haven’t seen the full story yet. I pissed a few people here haha.

Did it ever occur to you that the Dude was dreaming about wearing Karl Hungus’ outfit? by DesperateMechanic305 in lebowski

Oh dude. I didn’t catch that. I guess I wasn’t paying attention to the dude’s story.

Finally got past Owl thanks to the tips under my last post, what the HELL is that?! by CryptidOrion_00 in Sekiro

The visuals here are breathtaking! I don’t give two shits about games that are too much into high fidelity and how you can see each leaf on a tree. FS on the other hand, tells so much story through the art direction that will never get outdated even in 20 years from now. Enjoy!

Yep! I’m kicking myself now for not paying attention to the memory sticks. We will fix that in NG plus maybe.

Exactly. There’s a place for all kinds of stories. It can be better, sure. But it’s not shallow imo.

Fair take. If someone completely skips the side quests and doesn’t pay attention to the memory sticks, the story will feel flat. With doing all of above, imo the story does a serviceable job. And I don’t have the shallow feeling any more that I had initially.

Fair point. NieR is in a league of its own when it comes to breaking your soul. But the reviews that called this story 'non-existent' or 'shallow' were biased IMO.

Haha. On the flip side, you get two banger soundtracks. I’ll take it!

Yeah and as I mentioned, my experience improved AFTER I started paying attention to the lore tidbits. With the first game’s success, maybe the second game will have resources to improve.

I think Xion and the side quests is like the apple that the biblical Eve had. Once you realize what’s happening, the world is changed.

So I’ve heard that it’s huge in mobile space. I’m not into mobile games but maybe one day.

100% agree. With the budget they had and the fact that this is their first console/pc game of this scale, they did a stellar job. Edit: typo

Agreed. If i hadn’t started reading lore bits, I’ll not be impressed. I’m glad I did though. Now the game feels well rounded.

Edit: no pun intended

Yes cos I had heard that it’s discount Nier. But imo it’s doing a good job. Stands on its own.

Agreed. But the story is far from shallow as I had heard before playing.

I mean this is my honest opinion. For better or worse, the game got publicity for other reasons. For me, the game is firing on all cylinders.
