It's givin me those warm fuzzy BG2 vibes

2018-09-07 17:04:53 UTC  

Hmm, I kinda like my RPGs more linear

2018-09-07 17:05:03 UTC  

I was never a fan of open world

2018-09-07 17:05:07 UTC  

Too overwhealming

2018-09-07 17:05:17 UTC  

So I preferred games that had one goal but many ways to go about it

2018-09-07 17:06:50 UTC  

I dunno that I'd call os2 open world but I'm not very far in

2018-09-07 17:07:05 UTC  

Well, my issue with OS2 is that sure, there is one goal

2018-09-07 17:07:22 UTC  

But... theres so many ways to achieve it that I always feel that nagging feeling that I missed out on something

2018-09-07 17:07:37 UTC  

Some games are a little more managable.

2018-09-07 17:07:43 UTC  

I actually just do everything and then stumble across other options as I go

2018-09-07 17:07:48 UTC  

Liek for example, in JRPGs I always talk to the NPCs

2018-09-07 17:08:21 UTC  

And some games that compulsion is worse. In Trails of Cold steel, theres this notes system, which is basically a trivia page of the students.

2018-09-07 17:08:37 UTC  

So if I play through and go, oh fuck, I apparently missed one out of them

2018-09-07 17:08:56 UTC  

Id actualyl go back to get that one note even though it has no direct influence on gameplay.

2018-09-07 17:09:06 UTC  

Stumbling just isnt an option for me

2018-09-07 17:09:13 UTC  

I would not recommend playing Romancing SaGa then. On the PS2

2018-09-07 17:09:20 UTC  

Oh I was already warned

2018-09-07 17:09:29 UTC  

And I heard theres a sequel coming out soon

2018-09-07 17:09:37 UTC  

Events are made available/unavailable as you level up and there's like 200h of content

2018-09-07 17:09:46 UTC  

Yeah, sounds too open for me

2018-09-07 17:10:06 UTC  

Oh Romancing SaGa 2 is already out, 3 is coming. Scarlet Grace is the most recent one and it's coming here after 3

2018-09-07 17:10:12 UTC  

Romancing SaGa is SNES old

2018-09-07 17:10:14 UTC  

Thats the one

2018-09-07 17:10:27 UTC  

I saw scarlet grace but.. something bout the art style

2018-09-07 17:10:50 UTC  

I love exploring shit

2018-09-07 17:11:02 UTC  

System shock, Romancing SaGa, BG, etc

2018-09-07 17:11:24 UTC  

Even when I JRPG I like to backtrack and find shit

2018-09-07 17:11:39 UTC  

Yeah, problem with the LoH series.

2018-09-07 17:11:47 UTC  

Is that the game is so streamlined

2018-09-07 17:11:59 UTC  

That you do get cut out of quests and worse, hidden ones for progressing

2018-09-07 17:12:05 UTC  

Going back is not an option

2018-09-07 17:12:28 UTC  

The game practically encourages you to talk to every npc. Almost all of which have names, backgrounds and personalities.

2018-09-07 17:12:56 UTC  

Backtracking I dont mind as much

2018-09-07 17:13:04 UTC  

But the compulsion is worse when you cant backtrack

2018-09-07 17:15:54 UTC  

cnn and twitter colluded

2018-09-07 17:16:00 UTC  

although twitter may have been an unwitting partner

2018-09-07 17:16:03 UTC  

and I think its entirely unethical

2018-09-07 17:16:07 UTC  

video at 4pm

2018-09-07 17:16:32 UTC  

id ask "unwitting how" but that would defeat the purpose of the vid

2018-09-07 17:17:27 UTC  

vid is entirely about this

2018-09-07 17:17:35 UTC  

I was thinking of reshooting becuase I just go over their hypocrisy
