So like an MMORPG then.

Unfortunately the more I play the more my minor complaints become major ones. There have been a couple of story beats that were necessary to advance the plot but were incredibly poorly executed. Also **** whoever designed the Gongaga open world map. That one area has all but killed any interest I'd ever have of doing a repeat playthrough.

Eh, it's not THAT bad. And for the most part each side quest usually focuses on a party member that Cloud interacts with throughout the mission.

I prefer turn based in these games though.

Ditto. We have Dragon Quest 11 (also great) but that's about it.

I haven't finished "Remake" yet (but i finished the original game back in '97) and my wife badly wants me to buy Rebirth so she can play it. She of course has never played any FF game ever.

I'm like, "NO! You have to to finish the story in order! You don't get it! You can't just skip the first installment!"

Alright, I finally finished the story of Days Gone. It was far better than I thought it would be given the rough release. I even made it a point to go through and defeat all of the hordes on the map because I was enjoying it so much.

The bike mechanics were pretty annoying early on, though realistic. Thankfully by the end of the game, once you’ve upgraded your bike to max gas tank and have hella guns, stopping for gas out “in the shit” wasn’t too big of a deal.

Other than that, it had a decent story, good characters, good voice acting, graphics were good, fun gameplay.

I’d recommend this one.

I am still in chapter 2 and it’s feeling more Skyrim-esque from an exploration standpoint. I find myself wandering around looking for towers, intel battles, those places of discovery that the red owls lead you towards etc…. Also I find myself wanting to smash that stupid music thing next to Chadley every time I get near him.

I'd like to just smash Chadley. I hate that nerd.

LMAO Oh dude, if you're only in chapter two and already losing patience with Chadley you ain't seen nothing yet.

Yay! Can’t wait. LMAO

I had my controller speaker on silent and just now put together that was why I couldn't ever hear Chadley speaking during those missions. I've played so many RPGs over the years where nobody spoke out loud or only during certain scenes that the silence didn't really bother me.

You talked me into it. It's fun, no doubt. The chaos is like having several small heart attacks over 40 minutes straight.

I get killed by teammates as much if not more than bugs

Downloaded Hell Let Loose on Gamepass after seeing some videos on it and holy shit, this game is ****ing awesome.

Getting my ass handed to me as a noob lol but slowly getting the hang on it…

Anyone that’s into tactical, milsim squad games or WWII should check this out…
