My favorite part of this game was the ending, when the milquetoast lumberjack who refused to open up to me chased my car down out of love and my character basically told them that they’re insane. Clearly not an expectation of the devs that you’d choose that ending, but objectively the funniest.

I had a lot of fun with gotg. A really solid game with a great story and characters that you actually cared about. Dumb action that could have been a little more complex, but it worked!

The combat is the least interesting thing about the game. The world and story are really all of it!

I’m about 15 hours into octopath traveler 2. its been a long time since i’ve played a JRPG like this one. the story and design are great so far. Getting a little bored with the grindiness of dungeons but that’s the nature of things in this type of game. The amount of choices you can make as any character with their battles at any time is mind boggling, which makes boss fights really strategic but a regular fight against grunts can be tedious.

The idea of this sounds bad initially, but I Love espresso tonics so I can definitely see this working.

I didn’t even know about this route! Sounds easy easier

Agreed, got very bored halfway through stories with how tedious everything was. Would probably be fun with friends but I couldn’t even find online groups consistently.

My final loop was wild. I had everything in place to do it but was freaking out the whole time about the party which had screwed me over many times before. A crazy combination of luck and good timing on my part barely got me through it - incredibly satisfying.

Have only just recently gotten into persona, but I’m very excited about being able to play 3 as well as 6.

Even when the gameplay is lacking the storylines and social connections more than make up for it!
