I played it just recently so I didn’t get to play with as many people as I’m sure there were at the start. I did encounter others frequently enough though. Even played with 1 person for a big chunk.
It was fine. It’s pretty and it has soul for sure but it’s not a transcendent experience like so many seem to describe. Maybe I’m broken in my own way, maybe I missed something, maybe I don’t understand art. Who knows.
When it was first made available to the public I played about an hour or 2 and then stopped so I didn’t spill the game. My one big take away was that I really hated all the companions, especially sheart.
Been waiting on this game for like 8 quadrillion years.
I have no hope it will ever release. Communication has been horrendous and every few years we get a neat video and nothing else. I backed this like 10 years ago…
Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!...
Sheesh. That’s a tough one. My memory is trash from TBIs… Maybe pong, or space invaders? I think it would be something that was in an arcade. Our first console was the NES with SMB, but we definitely played in arcades before that.

Okay let me start with two heavy hitters right from the get go and don’t forget these are only personal oppinions and I absolute understand if you like those games. Good for you!...
Zelda BotW and TotK. I just kind of get board cus the game is so wide but so shallow. I wish I could like it cus there is a ton to like.
Any souls like. They just seem very lazy and the combat is just silly to me.
Just about any competitive game honestly. Part of it is I suck at them but mainly the trash talking toxic communities. Plus honestly I’m not very competitive.
Pokemon. I can’t wrap my head around the complexity and “meta” and the story doesn’t real matter anymore. I did like my first Pokemon game but that’s it.
Most Mario except Mario RPG. I played the heck out of SMB 1-3 but when that was all that was available. When games expanded so did my tastes I guess.
The tone, setting, story, art style has remained unmatched in my mind.
Tons have tried to replicate the tactics combat stuff and plenty have succeeded and improved or changed upon that formula, but I don’t think any of them have had that feel to it. Even the other FFT games.
Do people riding horses gross you out too, or relying on dogs to find injured people in accidents? Animals have had jobs with people throughout history.
Do you not fight wolves, attack dogs, dragons, and other animals on any other game you’ve played?
You don’t have to butcher your pals. There is no in game need for it. You have pals, you pet them and feed them and provide for their needs and they help you cut a tree down. Sometimes they don’t feel like it and they just don’t do it. What’s the problem?
I still think the game is fine. I still think it did some very interesting things. I got over 100 hours of playtime from it. I played on gamepass too. So I definitely got my monies worth.
Does it have problems? Sure. Quite a few, but it’s still enjoyable enough of you don’t expect the too much. It also had tons of potential of they actually release the creation kit.
I don’t think it’s the worst game ever. It’s not even their worst game.
Played for about 6 hours, great time. I only had 1 “bug” do far. A tutorial popped up before I did something to trigger it. That thing was in the room though.
I don’t ever get many bugs though while gaming so I’m probably not the best example.
I played it for a bit. Maybe did 4 or 5 missions. It was good I guess but also weirdly bland? Like it has all this character and style but for whatever reason it just didn’t really hook me.
I think I had some very minor issues with the game rules being sort of inconsistent. Like I’d setup something that should keep me stealth but if be immediately found out. Or something that would show certain people being hit or not hit wouldn’t be accurate. It was disheartening.
All that said, I think others might really like it. I think it’s on gamepass, so try it out if you have time!
My bothers and I played it quite early on and it was fine. We didn’t stick with it or anything. Just another spot to play together. No one was talking about it or anything.
Then like a year later everyone is going nuts about it. We see it pop-up everywhere.
Kind of… It’s like infinite automatic save states. At least that’s a good way to explain it, but the streaming thing they mention is more accurate. Nope like those flashback rewinds in racing games.
I was underwhelmed at first and wanted to be snippy cus fuck patenting game mechanics, but it really is a complex and interesting feature they want to develop It should just not be patented.
I wish people would speak less in absolutes, and just focus on sharing their opinions and thoughts as exactly that, their opinions and thoughts.
One of the best can easily be started as one of my favorite. Still a great title, still catches my eye, less exclusionary and less judgy of anyone who doesn’t think it’s the best at all or don’t have a real desire to play it.
This kind of goes for just about every media article out there. Life is more of a bell curve but almost all articles hyper focus on one extreme or the other…
