I was promised a good story but it did not get off to a promising start. Hate the art style, it feels so impersonal and slapped together without anything distinctive to latch onto. I was also not enjoying the gameplay.
I play these kinda games because I like experiencing somebody's unique vision. This felt like the sidescrolling action game equivalent of one of the those default-assets RPGMaker games you see everywhere.

>>714703415
This is a 40 hours side scroller action rpg. It has multiple interconnected systems for character progression which allows for different playstyles. The game introduces those systems gradually. First 16 minutes are not even the tutorial, you're still watching the intro. But once the game starts it just keeps on going and escalating and raising stakes. Give it a fair try. Can't defend the artstyle, dev used stock photos for almost everything before the artist from vanillaware (Shigatake) stepped in to draw some character art.

>>714703415
Bro you are complaining about it not having a good story while not even playing through the whole story segment in the beginning?
>Hate the art style
Fair but if it's so off-putting why did you buy it? The screenshots showed how it looked. For me it grew very quickly on me and I found it charming

>>714696225
You're a faggot and you need to die

>>714703415
I cannot think of a game with more of a creator's unique vision than Astlibra
You hate the art style, did you not see screenshots before hand?
Its like a default-asset RPGmaker game except none of it is default assets, it has extremely interesting and unique mechanics that are rolled out throughout the entire game, and an extremely unique art style
RPG maker default assets look like generic JRPGs
What fucking games do you play where Astlibra's art generic? What genres do you play where this is the standard?

>>714701465
This but only because I suck at the game

Kenshi, I may or may have been filtered. Genuinely can't bring myself to enjoy it no matter how much people here and on other boards raved about it.
Janky as fuck, arcane unexplained mechanics, a mostly empty world with dark souls style "story telling" thats taken by fans to be ultra deep with people making six hour video essays about a barely textured ruins that take 30 seconds to explore in a random corner of the map.

Just can't do it. I've invested about 8 hours and I always ask myself why I'm bothering.

>>714703843
>>714704268
I just don't play games if they offer me nothing in the first sixteen minutes. I felt like I got what the story and gameplay were doing and it all seemed pretty generic. I don't see anyone ever posting about the game's cast in the threads. For how much the story gets praised, people don't even seem to discuss it that much. Compare that to like the Clair Obscur threads or the Deltarune threads were everybody's constantly talking about their favorite characters and moments.
>>714704742
>>714704843
I bought it because everyone said the story and game was amazing, and I love games that nail storytelling and characters while also using gameplay to get you invested. I might give it another try at some point.

>>714704969
It just looks like a bunch of stock assets crammed together, like if you told me the creator didn't actually draw any of this I wouldn't be surprised. I grant that most games don't look like this but like -- this is what I'd expect a game made by an AI to look like.

>>714696159 (OP)
I played through the whole game on Hard get fucked lol

>>714703415
>I play these kinda games because I like experiencing somebody's unique vision
It objectively is someone's unique vision. This isn't even a matter of opinion. You just decided in your head it wasn't.

>>714705134
Its true, the creator wasn't an artist and he's more or less a solo dev so he used stock images but that's bizarre and unusual for games
I'm not saying you shouldn't hate the style but I am confused by how you got the game without realizing this first and the rest of the game is so unique I personally don't have issues with it

>>714705037
>just don't play games if they offer me nothing in the first sixteen minutes

There are few games in existence that embody their creators unique vision on the same level as Astlibra. Every single aspect very clearly comes from Keizo thinking "yeah that shit is cool, I'm gonna add that to my game". As an experience there's nothing else like it.

You might just not be in the headspace to focus on the game right now and that's okay. Think about it, it took you 16 minutes not only to drop the game, but to complain about it on /v/

>>714696159 (OP)
Anon 15 minutes is pitiful. You've spent more time shitposting about it than playing it. The game has screenshots, it has a demo, you could even get to just under 2 hours for a refund if you wanted. You're not obligated to do something you don't enjoy but pretending that an opinion formed on an RPG in 15 minutes is something anyone would see as valid is delusional. I hope in some vague collective way that you would at least have enough pride in your own opinions to play the game to the point where you understand what the appeal is and what it's about before making some kind of judgement.

LMAO
You got nothing about the story buddy. Half of the story doesn't even occur until you think the game has ended, because you keep thinking the games about to end and it doesn't it just flips and builds on it even more. Like 5 fucking times.
It is one game in the modern era that actually is one guys vision and he executed it impressively well, but you think 16 mins of introduction to the world and tutorial gameplay is enough to get it, lol.
>muh artstyle
Yeah, a game made by literally one guy is going to be handicapped in some ways. The art style is initially jarring, but you quickly get used to it - after more than 16 minutes.
>the gameplay
You experienced zero gameplay in 16 minutes. The game has like 50+ weapons of half a dozen different types and 50+ armours and shields, all with different abilities that change how you play, that can be mastered and then used without having it equipped. Plus the scale system. Plus the fucking bird system. It is not, and does not play like, a generic sidescroller by literally any measurement
>wow why did nobody talk about this game but talked about these two games that JUST CAME OUT
I dunno, real mystery. Story in astlibra shits on both those games, infinitely more attached to the characters and more emotional moments than both combined.

it's not dogshit but it's definitely not nearly as good as people here would tell you

I fell for this in FFXIII (and then quit right when I got to the "good" part). Astlibra didn't really have a point like that, I just kind of fizzled out eventually. But one thing I'm sure of is that whatever I didn't get to was exactly the same as the 30 hours I already put in.

>wow why did nobody talk about this game but talked about these two games that JUST CAME OUT
I've been browsing threads where people talk about this game for like a year and I barely see any fanart or people discussing characters or twists or anything. Everyone just say it's good. My guess is that it has a bunch of crazy twists and is constantly building anime tropes on top of itself and that impresses people, but I doubt the character writing is any good and that's what matters most to me in a game. My skepticism about that, combined with the art style and music both being slapped together from stock stuff, just kills my interest.
The gameplay is probably eventually going to get good.
Has anyone here played Dungeon Munchies? I'm reminded of that game by this one, except that one had a decent pixel art style at least.

>>714714554
>I've been browsing threads where people talk about this game for like a year and I barely see any fanart or people discussing characters or twists or anything. Everyone just say it's good.
this is also why I'm skeptical. This game has been on my wishlist for 2+ years, and I pop into threads about it at least once a month, and I've never seen anyone actually discuss the story. People just go "it's good, it's peak, it's kino".
Two years I've been viewing these threads and I don't think I've ever seen one person say a character's name.
And I've looked up gameplay and it just looks like janky spamming, not appealing to me in the slightest.
Game has always felt astroturfed to me.

Okay, that's great, you're retarded as I said, you don't need to repeat it 50 times anon.
>Muh stock music
Is probably the stupidest, most low iq take anyone could possibly have about this game because the ost is fucking phenomenal and almost every song is outrageously perfect for the location or scene it plays in, is inherently tied to the characters and evokes absurd amounts of emotional reaction in the player, whatever that emotion may be - because it evokes plenty of different ones with regularity.
Your complaints are that you don't like indie games, so don't play indie games then make threads bitching about how 16 minutes of an indie game doesn't match your tastes buddy

I was tricked to play it too but not by /v/ but by the internet in general.

Game is advertised as a murder mystery in which you play as a detective and i was on a Noir mood playing all sorts of games about detectives i could find. I went into it with the best and most hopeful mood possible, expecting nothing but just to the very list enjoy a murder mystery story.

Only for the game to be a commie political meltdown in which choices don't matter, the murder mystery is completly sidelined, the killer is some literal who last minute addition NPC, a nonsensical plot with hideous characters and Chapo traphouse voice actors.

>>714718270
Ive held basically the exact same opinion as you regarding the game. So dissappointed that I was sold on it as a schizo detective game and it just... isnt. Also the whole schizo mc gimmick got annoying fast and overall came across as trying too hard if that makes any sense.

>>714719354
lol thats when I first started suspecting the game was nowhere near as well written as /v/ was claiming. Millenial redditisms like that get cut if you want anyone to take the story youre trying to tell seriously and its something I would see from a wattpad fantasy novel than a professionally made videogame.

>>714703415

>The opening paragraph is more than enough
Fucking lmao, absolutely not. Not only is that far from enough to get a glimpse of the narrative structure but it's also insufficient when it comes to evaluating the prose, the first paragraph will only tell you if the prose is academically good or not. You'll NEED to continue reading in order to truly sort the wheat from the chaff.

>>714701465

He's right though. The best western games also have great soundtracks.

>>714724364
Some writers take longer to evaluate, true. But some hit you like a freight train.
>There are some strange summer mornings in the country, when he who is but a sojourner from the city shall early walk forth into the fields, and be wonder-smitten with the trance-like aspect of the green and golden world. Not a flower stirs; the trees forget to wave; the grass itself seems to have ceased to grow; and all Nature, as if suddenly become conscious of her own profound mystery, and feeling no refuge from it but silence, sinks into this wonderful and indescribable repose.
>When the shadow of the sash appeared on the curtains it was between seven and eight oclock and then I was in time again, hearing the watch. It was Grandfather’s and when Father gave it to me he said, Quentin, I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire; it’s rather excrutiating-ly apt that you will use it to gain the reducto absurdum of all human experience which can fit your individual needs no better than it fitted his or his father’s. I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all your breath trying to conquer it. Because no battle is ever won he said. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.

Well, at least you were objective enough to credit it for the atmosphere. I can see someone not liking it if you don't enjoy exploration though, since it's fuckhuge.

>>714724712
Greatness can hit you in the face right away, I agree on that. But it's not always obvious.
There are a lot of cases where what you'd consider bad instinctively can turn out to be unconventionally good instead. And you need to go further than the first few pages for that.

astlibra is a great game but i dont get how someone could call it mechanically rich. i'm not seeing how that's true. yes there's a lot of stuff in the systems but like, your default movelist is not that expansive. i guess the magic spells are cool.

this isn't to say the gameplay is bad. i quite liked it, but i liked it in this maplestory type of way where you're an extremely powerful character even if what you're doing isn't that involved or deep.

>>714704969

Sometimes you need time to adjust to the author's style, but I never needed to go beyond the 10 page mark for that. If I don't like the first 10 pages, I won't like the rest of the book either. I tested it on myself numerous times, pushing through the so-called classics, only to leave disappointed.

A hat in time.
It's floaty as hell for a 3D platformer and relies on the jankiest version of a homing attack I've experienced in my life. Some minkror stuff (aside from her), you can get unlocks weirdly early or late, the quality of the voice acting dubious, good staged are followed up with some dogshit gimmicky ones with no rhyme or reason, and the game basically only has 2 real worlds, before dropping you on one that is basically an open field, which was still passable.
But then it has a major as fuck issue which is the fact it is super incomplete and it just tosses dumb filler at you to pad out the ending. The entire 4th world is clearly about some mountain animals going crazy until a horn is blown, but they just didn't bother making any of the story because the budget ended. I went in and realized that it was just a few self contained platforming challenges except you had to physically travel to each one for ehatever stupid reason.
Apparently the DLC is more of the same in that regard. Incomplete worlds which tease bosses and then just give you fillee. Except for the last one which is a multiplayer game mode that was dead on arrival. I am convinced the devs get ideas and just get bored of them.

It does go into some interesting places, there are a LOT of plot twists, but imo their execution falls flat. For me, the main appeal was the gameplay. It started to pick up at chapter 2 when more options open to you, and it just kept snowballing from there. It's a "comfort" game I played on my 'eck with a very satisfying loot/progression curve.

That's right, baby, I only play good genres like ARPG.

Enjoy your gay sex scenes with bears.

What? Astlibra has one of the best stories in modern video games, and the fact that so much story unfolds despite the game's limitations makes it non-boring to play.

It's like playing a Metal Slug game, where, in the span of those six stages, going back and forth, a Shakespearean story unfolds.

Directional attacks mean you need lockon but the lockon camera is absurdly zoomed in and target switching is jank.
For some reason grabs are slow as shit and fully vulnerable. meanwhile all the attacks are stubby as hell so half the time a spinkick will only connect with one out of two dudes.
And enemies can reversal at any point within a combo.
What were they smoking when making this game?

>>714730449

Love the game, but this plus horrendous padding in both the early game and jungle are two grievances I have with it. Sticks out even more on additional playthroughs when you cruise through the gameplay segments and filler scenes, then eventually get blasted with an hour of plot.

Half of it is a sidescrolling ARPG, but the other half is a visual novel about heroics. A solid game in all departments, but very long, and you have to be at least a little bit of a storyfag to enjoy it.

>>714735181

is it wrapped up in culture war shit or something?
I'm just talking more about Wukong, Stellar Blade, even Marvel Rivals at one point (lol)

>>714735354
>is it wrapped up in culture war shit or something?
What? No way man. It is a really good game, but it requires a very specific type of autism to appreciate. I bought it on a whim right after it released knowing nothing about it, and by the time I got my third crystal I realized that it was a game which seemed to have been made to cater to my exact taste in games. It feels like it was made for a specific type of person so much that unless you are that type of person you won't like it.

I'm going to be an American for a minute and use a food analogy. I really like Stilton cheese. It's sharp, bitter, and smelly but there is this creamy richness that comes out in the aftertaste which is made all the more delicious by the smelliness. It's my favorite cheese, but at the same time I understand that other people don't like it and find it repellent. Crystal Project is like that. The flavor is perfect to me, but I can completely understand why most people would be turned off.

>>714735696
Nah

>>714735448
Its alright but pretty weak mechanically
its a really high effort coomer game but the coom is still the best part at the end of the day
it doesn't really compete with stuff like dmc or bayonetta and doesn't have an interesting world like Nier so I find it to be somewhat underwhelming
At its best, its pretty fun and exciting but there's a lot of bullshit in between. The demo is a bit dishonest but if you enjoyed it I would still recommend it. I just wouldn't worship the game like people around here did at one point just because its anti-woke.

>>714735767
I love it as well
I even love the platforming, it adds so much depth to what is usually the weakest part of a JRPG (world map exploration). It adds a mario RPG arcadeyness to it all while having the combat of FFV.

>>714701465
I agree to some extent.
The metroidvania aspect of the game is pretty weak, but the bosses were all really fun and a good challenge.
If it was a more linear mega man style, I'd say the game would benefit from the focus on combat and more complex standard enemies.

>>714735869
Stellar Blade's issue is jankiness and polish but it has way more mechanics than sekiro and MGRR combined. I wouldn't call it weak mechanically. It just needs more vision on what to do with the mechanics it has.

>>714735832
No.
>>714735181
I'll check out the game.

>>714735949
Bro when I first figured out I could sequence break basically the entire game I lose my shit. My first playthrough I immediately stopped progression and focused entirely on map painting.

Funnily enough when I first got the game most of the reviews on steam were negative and most of those negative reviews mentioned how much they hated the platforming. It was wild to me. I spent like two hours scaling the facade of the castle just to see if I could climb all the way to the top without actually progressing the story. That first playthrough was magical. Andrew Willman put an insane amount of thought into landscape features always leaving little spots here or there to allow you to break sequence if you were inquisitive enough to look.

I'm actually in the middle of another playthrough right now with the Final Fantasy overhaul mod Willman recommended earlier this year.

>>714736087
I've always hated Sekiro so won't argue there (Fromsoft worship around here also annoys me though I did like DeS, DaS, and BB)
I guess that's fair, it just doesn't really do much with what it has.

>>714696225
I'm not sure what was the moral of the story after finishing it. The only thing I derived from it was that the whole murder was started by some pent up hobo incel

Wow, ok. What about area BGM for the 20 levels that make up 90% of the GAMEPLAY. Its almost like Fromsoft did this better before.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ILGoO7Dnps

I dont care about your gay choirs and pling pling boss songs. Bosses are easily the worst part of dark sharts. I want to navigate LEVELS RETARDO

>>714736474
It's basically FF5 but in CP. The Level Three mod is supposed to be pretty good too. It gets rid of XP, LXP, and money with your combat progression coming from gear. The big focus in that mode is exploration. I will probably play that one next time I get the urge for another playthrough after this one I am currently working on.

>>714736384
Honestly, looking back, DaS1 was the only fromsoft game I'd truly call life changing. I actually went into a literary phase because I was so inspired by Miyazaki's narrative style and world building. But other Fromsoft games after that just felt hollow and repetitive experiences, especially Elden Ring.

the grandiose intro narration might as well be picrel, you can gauge the mood of the story right away
the demo mode is literally there to give the player a taste of gameplay "when it gets good"
you can make an informed judgment in 15 minutes easily, and dropping the game early is simply better than persevering in vain hope that the game will turn into something else

>>714737148
JRPG with platforming and FF5/FFT job systems. The platforming allows you to pretty much go anywhere in the game right from the start if you can make some really difficult jumps that are not obvious right from the start. The platforming was a massive filter that turned a lot of people off, so the dev added an autojump option in the setting that makes the leap for you. I don't know how I feel about the autojump. On the one hand it is great for people who suck and can't figure out the timing and depth needed to make a lot of the very difficult jumps, but on the other hand it kind of limits how you can jump which will remove your ability to sequence break which makes the game much more linear. If you like FFT's job system, you value freedom of exploration, and you don't mind pixel graphics of four niggers in a row than you might like it.

The story isn't really important, but one recurring NPC keeps reminding you that the game isn't about following someone else's story, but seeking your own adventure which is kind of the whole design philosophy behind the game. It is a one man passion project, and he brought decades worth of passion for old SNES RPGs to the table.

>>714736812
Elden Ring took the Skyrim approach where almost everyone shat on it post honey moon period that lasted less than Skyrim's. This board loves Bethesda more ngl.

idk about op's game but i mean this does actually happen in games, both eastern and western. it's pretty common for stories to be slow-paced early on, sometimes to their detriment, and this is true across borders.

>>714738219
i dunno man, considering people are still fellating mass destruction, i think there tends to be a sunk cost / stockholm syndrome element to that argument
high praise for longass stories that "really get going later on" can only really come from people who thought the "boring" part of the story was still good, because who the fuck would commit 20 hours to a game he ultimately disliked?
astlibra has some crazy escalation, but it's kind of stupid to present that as the main appeal and then shout FILTERED LMAO to someone dislikes the basic premise

itt: trogs get mad at people who actually have some amount of pattern recognition and consumer sense which results in them knowing how to drop bad games like hot potatoes asap.

>>714742270
no, it gets good as you play it. as you unlock more abilities, weapons and armor. as you unlock more options and areas to explore.
the game literally gets better as you play, and before you know it you've already sunk 50 hours in it and it still manages to impress you.
then again, you might just be retarded after all. can't help with that.

>>714736708
Dark shart fans will defend ANYTHING about that mid game. Gun to my head I couldnt even tell you which boss themes belong to gaping dragon, seath, pinwheel, centipede. Non repeating easy bosses, to say they are more than 5% of the game is too generous.
Yet I will never forget Kingsfield story moments because of the excellent area BGM you get time to listen too.

>>714745835
The demo has the main story up to the first boss and the "demo" mode which is designed to show off later game combat, that's why it's so disjointed.
Everything that happens in the demo mode is canon and you'll understand later.

>>714746247
Yeah I did demo mode so maybe I just did the wrong thing.
Like I said though I'm groovin with the game now that I'm playing it.

its rollslop
decent rollslop but its not particularly special anon
souls clones simply don't deserve the worship this got and its not even an exceptional one

>>714746692
Nta but it's worshipped by people for the same reason people worship God of War. It's less about the roll slop combat mechanics but setting the scale of some really titanic boss fights. The final battle is even a kaiju vs kaiju fight. Very few games outside of Asura's Wrath and GoW have massive bosses like Wukong.
Not every game is praised because of the uniqueness of its mechanics but how well they present those mechanics and wukong does it in a really pretty package.

>>714705037
>I just don't play games if they offer me nothing in the first sixteen minutes.

I never once mentioned how old /v/ and new /v/ like games. I didn't say a fucking thing about Wukong. You're a retard who can't read.

Its setting makes it pretty special and way more interesting than say a AAA game butchering the world around it

personally it my goty but to each their own i suppose. its just really telling when the only criticism people have is "da chuds liked it"

>>714747501
the critism is that its derivative and a bit janky
I don't even think its bad, its greatness is just clearly exaggerated for political reasons

>>714747654
Not him but derivativeness and jankiness doesn't disqualify a game from still being a GOTY contender. It just means what game gave you the most quality fun that year.
Hell, some of the most beloved games on /v/ aren't even that original and many are eurojank shit like mount and blade and kenshi.

>>714747919
mount and blade along with kenshi are blatantly filling a niche in a way wukong isn't
the whole beauty of eurojank are its unique and deep systems or design underneath the jank
if i wanted to play a game like gothic, I'd have no other choices besides other games made by the same devs
if I wanted to play another mount and blade, what exactly is competing there?
Wukong is thoroughly, and simply, just a souls clone
if you were talking about Nioh I'd be more sympathetic but wukong does NOTHING to separate itself from what From Soft has been doing for the last 16 years outside of its setting which is completely superficial although I do think its reasonable to enjoy it for that reason. The hype people on /v/ gave it was legitimately fucking retarded. Glad you had fun but get real. it was very obviously politically motivated praise.

>>714748227
It has different combat that I don't think I've seen in any other Souls game and it's got the best boss line up by far.

>>714748416
Yeah it's really more like god of war. I don't know why people keep comparing it to souls. It's like saying stellar blade is a nier clone when it plays like mgr/darksiders.

>hey this cool monkey game were making wont have any feminist shit in it
>WHAT? FUCK THIS FUCKING GAME FOR NOT HAVING FEMINIST SHIT!! THIS GAME SUCKS #IMWITHHER
>WHY ARE PEOPLE PLAYING THIS GAME?!?!? FUCKING CULTURE WARRIORS (unlike myself)!!!

>>714748527
if you had to tie it to 1 game its very clearly influenced by from soft games more than GoW but its essentially a souls clone that takes influence from GoW sure
In the same way Nioh is a souls clone that takes a ton of influence from character action games

>itt : miserable faggots too bitchy and whiny to enjoy videogames ever since they got jaded

>>714748527
Honestly, people keep saying it's "just another Souls clone" but completely gloss over the fact that the structure and pacing are way more in line with mid-2010s action games. It isn’t as punishingly meticulous as a From game and the moment-to-moment gameplay has a snappier, more arcade-y rhythm. The comparison to God of War makes way more sense, especially with the cinematic boss intros and emphasis on spectacle. It's not trying to be Bloodborne 2, it's trying to be Monkey May Cry and people are mad it’s not "jank" enough to pretend it’s niche.

>>714754132

Soulslikes and latter action games like sekiro and nioh have really mindbroken people on what even action games are anymore. Many people forget that action games prior to soulslikes also tended to borrow and seep into each other. Just like Prince of Persia, GoW, Dante's Inferno, and Darksiders 2.

>>714737668
it has always has good recommendations and seemed decent
but he never sells it on a good enough sale to be worth the risk frankly. for the same price right now you can still nab 2 or even 3 other jrpgs, reducing your risk of not liking them and increasing your playtime - because the reality is 99% of people are not going to play the game twice even if its designed for multiple playthroughs

>>714738963
>which results in them knowing how to drop bad games like hot potatoes asap.
cool, that's great; except for the fact that astlibra is not a bad game and is probably the most kino game of the last decade if not longer.
you people are genuine retards, how do any of you ever read a book? you can't tolerate setting establishment, you cant tolerate build ups, you want every single paragraph to be the equivalent of the peak kino moment, completely at odds with the reality that the peak kino moments can only happen in the first place due to EVERY OTHER moment beforehand, all the setup, all the character development, all the conversations. you remove that, you remove the impact of the peak moments entirely.
your entertainment media whatever form it takes literally cannot be more than 1% peak moment sorry lad.

>>714739483
The game you just posted as your image in response to this, universally generally praised as amongst the best story writing in video games to ever exist, does not "get going within 5 minutes" and has drastically more than 30 minutes of story exposition. Are you a fucking retard or what?

Astlibra is the only game that has make me go "Well, this definitely has to be the final boss" at least 7 times. It was awesome.

>>714745835
>Why is the demo dogshit though?
I mean what do you expect, it's dumping you substantially into a games systems that in the actual game itself are unlocked one at a time and you're given time to play with them and figure them out before the next one comes in.
It's going to be overwhelming, no two ways around it, but the other option is to not let people try it at all and then you get retards like op who say "i knew it was gonna be shit within 5 minutes" completely unaware of your 18 progressively unlocked systems
The best way to play is just play the game normally ofc, but that requires them to not have adhd and burnt out fucking brains so they can actually focus on something for 5 hours

>>714756467
I had the exact same experience, I imagine everyone else did too, KEIZO you genius

Oh and it was also nice of him to give us a perfect ending in the dlc to obtain too. Unlike the 99% good ending the main game allowed you to achieve - my immediate instinct was to say "no 99% is not good enough I want to save EVERYONE" because that was the running theme and whole point, so I'm glad the dlc made that possible.

>>714756467
I fucking hate when games do this. Just let the goddamn game end already you bloated piece of shit. It's like way to kill all replay value and completely fuck the pacing and flow.

>>714756663
Anulis is final boss material. But yeah, the ending progression is "this fucking sucks, what a downer" to "I guess this sucks less I guess but I'm not sure what the fuck even happened" to "Wait what it was a fakeout" to finally FINALLY getting the happy ending you deserve after 40000 years of bullshit. I also thought it was nice that the DLC gave Astraea a happy ending as well

Except it's not bloated, that's the point buddy. You aren't sitting there thinking "thank god it's the final boss", the game is not overstaying its welcome. Every time it continues, you are happy that it continues and enjoying the twist and want more.
Look I get it, you haven't played good games so you don't understand what that's like, or you're a movie game completionist who just plays for social clout and to not be left out and wants them to be over asap.

I thought that sounded strange and then I went and checked.
The opening intro is 18 minutes long. OP didn't finish watching the intro.

Regardless the gameplay doesn't start opening up until after the tutorial section dungeon/boss when you get to Rispadar about an hour into it. (assuming you actually watch the intro and explore)
Personally I thought the story started moving properly by the Volcano area which is around three hours in.

I did play the whole thing pirated but I mostly agree. The areas themselves are mainly okay (2nd chapter spooky area being the best) but it could have been quite good with better writing and characters, too bad everything was just dragged down by having homosexual sex-obsessed assholes being an ever-present factor no matter what you did.
The party was bad enough aside from Minsc and Jaheira but when the Emperor started going on about his sex life once you got into the city proper it just fell apart. The sidequests mostly sucked balls too at that point and were kinda dumb.

Where do these bloated numbers come from? I 100% completed the game twice and 100% completed the DLC and I only have 140 hours on it.

16 minutes is plenty. You have tens of thousands of choices and not wasting more than 16 minutes on something is justified. Make your game intro better.
