Hawke is definitely my favorite protagonist in the dragon age universe. Her wit is unmatched. She even has a 1 minute banter with herself lmao?»?¥?Å?»?¥?Å

Love it

I feel like I'm in a loop of just playing all my PS4 games because I'm so bored during lock down. Currently replaying RDR2 for the billionth time (still think there should be a Sadie Adler DLC). Thinking of possibly buying Horizon Zero Dawn but don't know if I'd really like it or find it interesting. Anyone else played it?

HZD seemed like exactly the kind of game that I'd like, but I just couldn't connect with it at all. It's technically a very good game, but something just didn't work for me. However I do know that it's an unpopular opinion and a lot of people love it.

It's ironic that the only person that answered OP is one of the very few that didn't like the game. Op, Horizon Zero Dawn is an amazing game. You're very lucky. Playing that game for the first time while in quarantine would be amazing.

I'm one of those who loved it, my only gripe with the game is that they hint at romance but you can't actually romance anybody, including that rad Oseram girl that flirted me into oblivion and that other obviously gay Banuk girl in the DLC. Not fair at all, the rest is all great, the gameplay is fun and the story was surprisingly good.
I went into it thinking "what kind of shit is this thing, robot dinosaurs and tribal people, I only bought it because the PC is a girl and my friend won't stop pestering me" and came out of it with one of the best backstories I've ever seen in a game, some ugly crying, a powerful crush for one side character and hours of enjoyment of the protagonist's sass.

After the disappointment that is Naughty Dog, I began a new game of DAI to pass the time. It's actually a good looking game despite its age.

I loved DAI when it came out. Played through it like 4 times and had countless others that made it part way through. I know I'm in the minority but I loved Sera.

She grew up so much in the trespasser dlc. Getting married grounded her. And her diary that keeps getting updated is a really beautiful thing to read.

So adorable

I've been playing DAO for about... maybe 30 hours? I do think the combat system is well designed and interesting. The only problem is there're tooooo many encounter battles... Maybe I should research the tactic system in order not to waste time on every single battle.

Is it your first playthrough? I'd give anything to go back and play that game for the first time. I've loved it so much. Leliana, Morrigan and Allistar were so great and their banter was so funny. The other companions were great too. I'd kill for them to do a remaster with the frostbite engine.

Yes, the first time. I started to play because a netfriend had recommended DA series many times. She said her favourite of DA is its worldbuilding, people and the culture.
I've just completed the main quests of Ostagar, Lothering and Circle Mage so I don't know much about my companions but Leliana is interesting. I first got a crush on Morrigan as she's powerful, tough and beautiful. But after some events I knew she's not the cold-outside-but-warm-inside kind, she seems to regard power as the most important so I was not that into her. At that point Leliana started to catch my attention. Clearly she has a complicated and mysterious background, and high EQ, and an interest in females :$ .

I will forever laugh at "Her Ladyship Mai Bhalsych of Korse". I took Sera to the Winter Palace because I figured she'd do something funny, but I wasn't expecting that.

[Guest]

I think I'm crushing on Jill Valentine in the RE3 remake

I've been crushing on her since the first trailer came out I like her character design much better than the original.
Wow, I wish I could play this game already... but I told myself I'd wait till I can get it for at least half the initial price. And after I heard that it's so short, I'm thinking maybe it's really better to wait.

A lot of people found Sera immature but I thought her sense of humour was hilarious. Her banter killed me. All the other companions were way too serious.

PS5 controller makes its press debut and it's crickets in here??»?¥?Å

[Guest]

^ That's because it's hideous. Just looks like an XBox controller and why they thought all the white was good I have no idea. It's just gonna get dirty real quick if people use them a lot.

[Guest]

A lot of people liked the PS4 controller because of its difference to the XBONE controller. idk what they're thinking with that honestly

[Guest]

Is RDR2 worth buying half off in current time? I've heard there's some issues, and have never played the first one and have very little knowledge of the games altogether. I just burned myself out doing replays of games and I'm trying to find some stuff I missed out on that would pique my interest.

Quote: "A lot of people liked the PS4 controller because of its difference to the XBONE controller. idk what they're thinking with that honestly"

Honestly, we've reached the point where you're wondering why Sony/Microsoft are still producing consoles. These consoles aren't game changers in any way. People only buy them for the game exclusives. Sony/Microsoft are essentially software companies. At least, Nintendo gives you something unique in comparison in terms of hardware.

[Guest]

I hope you can get an all black PS5 controller from the get go - I like it apart from the colour scheme. And it looks like a slightly more curvy PS4 controller to me, not an Xbox controller.

Yes I think so, even though it's a big open world game it ends up feeling more like an epic interactive HBO western than anything else.

[Guest]

You don't really need to play the 1st Red Dead Redemption to be able to play and understand the 2nd one, because the 2nd one is a prequel. I personally didn't even really like the 1st one but really enjoyed the 2nd. I'd say give it a go if you're bored in lock down.

It's a good game, honest I'd wait a bit more for the price to drop further and play some other older games now, there are a billion games on sale at the moment. Like you can literally get 5 or 6 games for the price of one.

I'm the exact same. Its an absolutely wonderful game. And when I thibk about it I think "god that twas so good". My brain loves it- but my heart just never connected. But I still love it. Very confusing.

Something about the aesthetic doesn't quite click for me. It's all very pretty, but it doesn't feel lived in or something.

[ConfusedBystander]

I've been playing the Dragon Age series during quarantine, I'm currently on Inquisition which I'd only played once before, so I decided to try the templar quest 'cause I chose the mages in my previous playthrough.

Having played both of them now, it's such a shame you can't do both of them in the same playthrough, 'cause those are two of the most interesting and engaging quests in the whole game.

Spoiler AlertSpoiler Alert

Still, with the way the quests are presented, I'll be going back to the save I made and choose the mages in the end, 'cause I think my inquisitor would consider a Tevinter Magister messing around with time magic a more immediate threat than templars deciding to go on reclusion for whatever reason.

Went to the ramparts to get my warrior's specialization quests and couldn't stop laughing at this crazy looking soldier walking in the background.

Speaking of DAI bugs, when the game first came out, after you sleep with Sera, she got stuck naked in the inquisitor's room

I took a screenshot of it but that was 5? Years ago.

I've played through Uncharted 3, 4, and Lost Legacy in quarantine. I have Jedi Fallen Order queued up but am still in an Indiana Jones-type mood. Never played the recent Tomb Raider games, so thinking about starting on the 2014 iteration and going through that trilogy

[cmd]

Has anybody played Fallen Order? How do you like it? I have it in my backlog, but I'm still working on Ara Fell.

[ConfusedBystander]

I have. I really liked it. The story was good if a bit short, but I guess for this type of game it was an average duration, I'm too used to playing RPGs. I played it on PC but with a gamepad and thought the combat was super fun.
There is a bit of exploration that you have to do and if you're a completionist the backtracking can get a bit tedious. Though I wish they had added more planets.

[Very sad anon]

I enjoyed the game mechanics but the story and the main character were bit of a let down. The enemy would have made for a more interesting character to follow.

Just got back into playing Fallout 76 because of Wastelanders and it brought back all the reasons why I loved old Fallout. Need more people to play it with tho!

I still can't finish Fallout 4. All that settlement nonsense put me off. I know some people really liked it, but it feels like a chore to me.
The lone wanderer lifestyle was fine for me.

There's one on PS4, it gives all settlements cement walls with just one entrance. It helps so much with the defense. I also have one for unlimited shipping materials, which helps me create anything that is needed.

High defenses and happy settlers rarely get attacked in my experience.

I'm dividing my time between Dragon Age: Inquisition, Stardew Valley and DiRT 4. When I'm done with one of them (not SV) I'm thinking about playing either Battlefield: Hardline or A Plague Tale: Innocence.

I've also had Alien: Isolation installed for the longest time and still can't finish it. Makes me too anxious. I don't like horror games but I like the Alien movies, so I'm trying.

I've been enjoying Pokemon and BOTW on my Switch
I got so bored with Animal Crossing that I'm almost tempted to sell my copy of the game. There's too much grinding for resources.

have you played DA:I before? i can barely remember most things that happened in it tbh except that cassandra rejected me and i went crying to josephine. what're your thots on that and SV?

on alien, weirdly, i HATE horror movies but i love horror games, idk why? i think the agency the game gives you over the situation makes me feel more in control over the situation, which takes a lot of the suspense out cuz i can just pause it or like successfully run away so it's fine

i started botw when it first came out then got immediately distracted by something else; a good friend of mine proper rates it though so i've been meaning to go back to it

agreed on anicro tho, it's taken me sooo long to even get to my 10th villager because i keep getting bored of the central game loop & you can't even binge it without quitting out of your game every hour to time travel
