Skyrim, Witcher 3, FF15 I'm getting the impression that RPGs may not be the genre for you lol My favorite genre. Ones with shitty gameplay I can only play for so long. Case in point, I forgot to include Tales of Berseria. That one was painful to put down. Loved everything about it outside of the mind numbing combat. I can only think that you must have got yourself too bogged down with sidequests-keeping in mind that all RPG sidequests are either kill this or find that so it shouldn't be anything new if you've been playing RPGs a while. Skyrim's sidequests felt like they were fairly dull outside of the guild storylines, I'll give you that but otherwise it was mostly decent and Witcher 3 was pretty well written throughout so I didn't ever get bored with those. FFXV wasn't a complete failure, but I wasn't super impressed with it and just carried on with the main story for the most part and haven't gone back to it after that woeful ending so I hear you on that one. I played enough Skyrim to Master the thieves guild and max my sneak. Playing stealth was fun. It masked the horrendous combat. After I maxed it, the game was broken, too easy. And I didnt feel like reseting my stats, so I quit. No interest at all in the main quest. Played about 100 hours tho. Witcher had an interesting world, but it was my first Witcher experience. So the lore I didnt know much about and the main character was bland (yes, I know he is supposed to be that way, doesnt make him any less boring). What killed it was the controls/combat. He moved like a Resident Evil character, and the combat was literally using 2 weapons (that do the same thing) and 1 useful magic spell while dealing with floaty, unresponsive combat. Even on hardest difficulty it was not fun to play. Stopped after 30+ hours. FF15 i really wanted to like. It looked much better than FF13. It wasnt. It was an absolute train wreck. Some of the worst combat in any game I have ever played for startrers. Story telling was awful, open world was empty with only the rare fetch quest available, etc. Again, 30+ hours was all I could stand. No redeeming qualitities in this one aside from the visual quality (mostly of the food, because the art design was shit as well). Tales of Berseria was fantastic all around except for the combat. From what I hear the combat was an improvement from previous Tales games, which is baffling. Even on hardest difficulty you can just hold down a button to win 90% of battles. About 25 hours in I was just really dreading combat because it was just a waste of time, couldnt do it anymore. --- Currently playing = Shadows Die Twice beta Fave game of all time = Shadows Die Twice <cite>Zodd3224 posted [p:893640294] in Games wher...

State of Decay On paper it's everything I've wanted from a zombie game. - Huge open world - Numerous weapons/vehicles - Focus on survival more than action - Community-building functions However the community building was a larger part of the game than I anticipated. My first hour or so into the game I'm stuck in a safe zone (and I'm now the leader apparently) with numerous sick people inside, food running out, a night that lasted weirdly long, and zombies clawing at/massing outside the walls. Eventually I put it down because I wasn't having fun, I was actually getting fucking stressed out over shit in it. State of Decay is a very short game that's intended to be replayed a whole lot to explore different strategies. --- Professionals are predictable- it's the amateurs who are dangerous. <cite>r4X0r posted [p:893640448] in Games wher...

Never could beat that damn Drapion. Space Channel 5 Part 2. Im to blame here, that game is HARD.</quote>Blade Kitten. I downloaded it on the 360. And now that you mention it, I too played some for a while until I just stopped and never went back to it. I think the combat was a bit repetitive.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Syntheticon 01/08/18 8:49:51 PM #92:	Zodd3224 posted... I played enough Skyrim to Master the thieves guild and max my sneak. Playing stealth was fun. It masked the horrendous combat. After I maxed it, the game was broken, too easy. And I didnt feel like reseting my stats, so I quit. No interest at all in the main quest. Played about 100 hours tho. Witcher had an interesting world, but it was my first Witcher experience. So the lore I didnt know much about and the main character was bland (yes, I know he is supposed to be that way, doesnt make him any less boring). What killed it was the controls/combat. He moved like a Resident Evil character, and the combat was literally using 2 weapons (that do the same thing) and 1 useful magic spell while dealing with floaty, unresponsive combat. Even on hardest difficulty it was not fun to play. Stopped after 30+ hours. FF15 i really wanted to like. It looked much better than FF13. It wasnt. It was an absolute train wreck. Some of the worst combat in any game I have ever played for startrers. Story telling was awful, open world was empty with only the rare fetch quest available, etc. Again, 30+ hours was all I could stand. No redeeming qualitities in this one aside from the visual quality (mostly of the food, because the art design was shit as well). Tales of Berseria was fantastic all around except for the combat. From what I hear the combat was an improvement from previous Tales games, which is baffling. Even on hardest difficulty you can just hold down a button to win 90% of battles. About 25 hours in I was just really dreading combat because it was just a waste of time, couldnt do it anymore. Well, the causes of your problems are fairly obvious-playing everything but the main quest for whatever reason until you're over it and not playing the first 2 parts of a 3 part series will always leave you out of step with the characters etc. although arguably, you got your $ worth out of Skyrim in the end lol This makes me curious, what RPGs have you actually played through the main quest of or thought the sidequests weren't tedious? --- Mod me?
