LOL that must have been the Cougars territory and the game wanted you to kill it, but the player was having fun letting it attack.

got a new PC rig...what games do i need to be checking out?

d-loaded cyberpunk

RDR2 is bound to be on sale right? steam usually discounts that quite frequently no?

 

Steam sales are throughout the year, but the best general one is usually their Summer or Winter Sale, the latter of which will start on Dec. 21 this year. But you can good deals on games throughout the year. I'm an expert - I get them all the time. I still have games I haven't played that I bought 2 or 3 years ago.

MonolithSoft is an underappreciated developer. They were a big part of BotW and TotK. The Xenoblade Chronicles series is top-notch, too. I might be biased but XC2 has been my favorite. I haven't even finished the last chapter of XC3. The story and characters from XC1 and XC3 haven't been as interesting to me, which is a shame because I haven't been able to tie it all up, which the DLC does well. XC2 has had my favorite combat system.

 

What type of games do you like?

 

Neat question, as I have played a lot of RPG Games, Strategy, Live Action Strategy, Round based Strategy, and Building Games, I can happily say I would need something else.

 

Lol yeah, that moment was a huge facepalm. XC2 certainly had its faults. It's tutorials and combat system were poorly explained and took a long time to fully unlock. Merc missions and affinity charts were very very grindy. It starts off too slow, needing to get through 3 chapters to start picking up the main story (roughly 10 hours).

XC1 and XC3's stories start off much stronger. XC1 was more basic in combat. It's story had lots of twists and turns and got very existential. Maybe a little bit too much for me, and with weak characters that I didn't care much for, I felt disappointed after completing it.

XC3 has been a good hybrid. For some reason, I just don't like the combat or class system. I haven't min-maxed any characters classes, mostly letting each character max each class, so my party is never optimized other than trying to balance attackers, tanks, and healers. Combat to me is mostly spam fusion arts until ready to chain attack and it feels too repetitive. XC2 had more variety with arts and blades. Sure, in XC3, you can swap characters in combat but it's too complicated in my opinion.

XC2 also has the best soundtrack to me, making the experience more enjoyable. They all have great soundtracks.

I really need to finish XC3 to complete the story. I'm trying to finish another JRPG, the Trails series. It's been a fun traditional JRPG but massive in scope with 10+ games which I'm only on the 2nd.
