damn, I’m absolutely with you on BOTW. Steel swords breaking within 10 uses is ridiculous

One of my first interactions with an in-game fantasy computer GUI was Final Fantasy VIII. You had this newsletter you could read on the Balamb Garden’s computers, or take the SeeD exams to improve your grade. Was really neato.

NA is great because of the characters. They’re extremely well fleshed out and undergo a serious growth during the game events. I think that if you don’t care about the characters then it’s not worth playing. Plot and combat are accessories to the character developments.

Everyone likes to hate on Ubisoft but as far as open worlds go, it’s difficult to find more content-filled ow than Immortals and AC Valhalla. There are actually so many, many things to do around every corner it can get very tiring. Puzzles, subquests, races, dungeons, unique enemies… everywhere.

How is the story lame? It’s one of the most original stories I’ve ever seen in a videogame.

I agree about Skyrim. The entire world feels dead, the npcs are lifeless. It’s really hard for me to feel the world and the story. The Witcher 3 came out only 4 years later and it’s several orders of magnitude better to me.

You should avoid battle royals and first person shooters. MMORPGs have created communities since their inceptions, I believe. I think FFXIV would fit your description.

You mean comment threads? I can collapse them by clicking…

oh, I didn’t know it’s different than the iPhone’s!

I’m still in the “find a girlfriend” stage

Nothing, really. I’ve put Valhalla and Breath of the Wild on hold, I don’t feel like gaming lately. But I’m hugely hyped for FFVII Rebirth.

I don’t entirely agree. I have an iPad with Apollo and an Android with RiF and I’ve always liked RiF much more. Of course they’re both magnitudes better than the official garbage app. Just a matter of personal taste, I guess.

same! I’m amazed at how Jerboa is similar to RiF. Feels like home.
