    Even so, there’s an action-RPG here that’s richly rewarding and incomparable to its contemporaries if you can be patient with its quirks and open to embracing its hands-off open-world and quest designs."

    It's a great and apt review.

    Though in the end, numbers never mean anything to me. It's what the reviewer actually says.

    Climbing "can" be janky in that the very first opportunity to do it, the Gorgon or whatever it was, allowed me to climb it but then I found myself going the wrong way for some reason.

    Eventually a cut scene happened and it escaped. I assume that it was supposed to escape and that I will get another chance to fight it.

    I will never be good at games that require skill because I suck and I know this. I still want to play though. I remember someone on Steam chiding me about asking whether a game had an easy mode as I was responsible for cheapening games for others. It baffled me because it was a single player game and who exactly was I hurting. He said I was ruining it for those that accomplish stuff at hard and even harder difficulty. I don't get how me doing something in easy or story mode affects you. May be the ethos escapes me.

    Still fuck them I will play how I want.


    Don't you see? They want it to mean something when they say they finished a difficult game. They want it wear it as a badge of honor that they can brag about at parties. All those parties gamer nerds go to, where they pick up chicks by bragging about that super-hard game they beat.

    That take is a bit, um, disturbing.

    It's "ok" for people to accomplish things, whether that's winning a golf tournament, or a marathon, or a chess tournament, or a marathon hike, Or act in a play or ...

    Finish a difficult video game.

    People like to do things that are challenging, or that require learning things, or that are vastly different than what they normally do on a daily basis.

    But here's the thing, you're insinuating that completing a difficult video game is tantamount to "the dorkening" without fully realizing you play video games and you comment on a video game site and by that very measure you would be considered one of "the dorkening's" sad inhabitants.

    Funny how your participation in the video game hobby is perfectly fine but add a bit of challenge and those who enjoy that are people who go to nerd parties ...

    Or maybe there are sad people in any hobby or activity as well as perfectly fine people who enjoy challenging themselves?

    The endorkening isn't people taking satisfaction from an accomplishment. It happens when people use it as personal and social validation as a result and expect status and accolades. It isn't about the accomplishment. It's about elitism and status.

    Absolutely and that’s what I’m saying. It’s ok for people to want challenges and it’s ok for people to feel satisfied when meeting those challenges. 

    Using those challenges to define one’s self as being better than others is the issue.

    whether it’s gaming, a job or material possessions.

    So is there no measure by one human can be judged "better" than another?

    Overall, no. In specific aspects there are many such measures that vary depending on that being tested with those best recognized for their superiority.

    9.5 not a chance in hell this game is that good. Combat sucks period, played for two hours and was not impressed at all.
  • hayes303hayes303 Member UncommonPosts: 431
    I got caught up in the FOMO and purchased the game via greenmangaming and I do regret that.

    The game is ok. Just ok. Its more dragons dogma 1.5 than 2. I put 40 hrs into and it was a slow progression to meh. The world is covered in the same 4 mob types, over and over again, the mechanics of the game don't really reward exploration, the rest system and the inventory system are tedious as hell, and the save system is terrible.

    When you add in the save system, the performance issues and how tedious it gets, its a love letter to the fans of the original, but the appeal is a bit limited outside of it.

    Being a huge fan of the original maybe you’re right.

     think it’s absolutely excellent.
