I ended up quitting it in chapter 6 because the repetition of it became too much for me, but perhaps that won’t be an issue for you.
I’ve been looking forward to it since it was first announced, but I’m still going to wait to get it when it’s on sale because I’m just not in the mood for it right now. The same is true for Trine 5 as well which also comes out this week. I have Trine 1-4, but I’ve only played the first so there’s no rush for me to get the fifth. However, I do plan on buying Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle on day one this week because I’ve been looking forward to it since it was first announced as well, and it’s only $39.99 with a physical release.
Yeah, the Xbox 360 doesn’t even have it. As much as I’m enjoying Need For Speed Heat, I would be enjoying it a whole heck of a lot more if I could play my own soundtrack in it.argyle wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 8:46 amI agree - I've had this exact same thought several times. It's odd that this feature just went away.Phaseknox wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 12:19 amI miss the original Xbox days where I could put a music CD in the console and copy the songs onto it, and in games such as racing games I could choose to play my own soundtrack. That was one of the coolest features of the console, and I don’t know why it hasn’t been in any other console since.

I think that I might be fine playing as a male protagonist in this game since like I previously stated the story seems relatable because I used to get angry when my younger brother got into my things as well, so for $4.49 I’m willing to take a chance.isthatallyougot wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 12:29 pmI hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

I looked it up, and it appears to only have one ending. I’m going to buy it this week because it’s currently on sale for $4.49.
I have no doubt that you will like it because you liked Need For Speed Payback, and it’s a lot better than that. The night races feel a lot like Midnight Club: Los Angeles, and I know that’s one of your favorite racing games. It’s one of mine, too. It’s too bad that there hasn’t been another one, but Heat fills the void IMO.canedaddy wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 12:35 pmPhaseknox wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 12:19 amI’ve been playing Need For Speed Heat, and it’s actually quite good. It’s the best NFS game in years. It reminds me a lot of Most Wanted (2005) which is my favorite NFS game. It’s open world taking place in a fictional city similar to Miami Florida. You choose a character, and can customize their hair and clothes. They’re featured in the story scenes, and are voiced. The story so far has been the usual rookie racer trying to move up in the ranks of racing. It’s been good enough to give an incentive to the racing.You have gotten my attention! Sounds like it's right up my alley.
Have you played Heat? Some reviews claim that it’s better than Unbound, except for its soundtrack. They say that Unbound’s soundtrack is a lot better which is most likely due to the complaints that Heat’s soundtrack received, and rightfully so. But reviews are still fairly positive for Unbound, and I definitely plan on getting it when I get a PS5. But I’m still in no rush, because not only do I have hundreds of PS4 games there’s still more coming out that I want as well. Heck, three come out this week alone. At this rate I won’t get a PS5 until the PS6 is out.
), Hades, Slay the Spire, Tokyo Xanadu, Yakuza 4?, Trails of Cold Steel (it is very slowly getting better...please never play these games. You're welcome).
.Yeah man. And it's an interesting group rather than the lame-o one-noters you might expect. I really enjoyed that game.crimson_tide wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 4:46 pm This week: ok, I found out (maybe shout-out to Phase for mentioning it I think) that Divinity Original Sin 2 has pre made characters. Oh my God, I need this at my point in this crpg journey.
You might like Need For Speed Payback, it’s not bad. But I personally think that Heat is better.crimson_tide wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 4:46 pm Ok, I did say I wanted a racing arc and Heat sounds ok. I thought about doing Payback because a good Fast and Furious game would be nice. We'll see...it won't be anytime soon but it's good to have a suggestion when I get the itch, thanks
I played three of those (Tokyo Xanadu, Trails of Cold Steel, Yakuza 4), and while they all appealed to me at first I eventually stopped playing them. I plan on playing Yakuza 4 again when I get in the mood to marathon Yakuza 1-6, but it’s unlikely that I’ll ever play the other two again.crimson_tide wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 4:46 pmPlayed: a lot man. I just can't find anything to grab me. Wasteland 3, Shadowrun Returns, ...Ishin (j, I hope we can still be friends
That’s why I haven’t started any of my CRPGs yet, because I know that they’re going to be a lot to take on when it comes to learning and understanding them. I have to be in the right mood to play games like them which hasn’t been lately.crimson_tide wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 4:46 pmWasteland 3 is great. I am not equipped to handle it yet. It's overwhelming.
Falcom RPGs usually appeal to me for a while, but then I reach a point in them when I lose interest in them. The only two of their RPGs that I’ve played all the way through are Ys: Memories of Celceta and Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana both of which I really enjoyed. But as for Tokyo Xanadu, Trails of Cold Steel and Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, I reached a point in all of them where I got bored and stopped playing them.crimson_tide wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 4:46 pmThe Falcom games. I see the appeal. Xanadu is too high school. Trails is sloooooooooow. But I get it and like it.
Yeah, I plan on getting a PS5 when they release the Pro which is rumored to come out holiday 2024. But I’m thinking that might even be too soon for me to get one, because I have hundreds of PS4 games with more still coming out that I want.
I’m curious to hear what you think of this game. I enjoyed it at first, but it wasn’t long before it started to feel like a slog to me.crimson_tide wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 4:53 pmCool beans, I am booting it up tonight, here's to hoping!canedaddy wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 4:49 pmYeah man.

I didn't do much weapon crafting either. I believe you'll get decent weapons as drops or from the story. The orb leveling is a little weird, and overall I was middle of the road on it...didn't love it, didn't hate it.crimson_tide wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 4:46 pm Ok, let me explain: j. I tried really, really hard. I absolutely hate the weapon crafting nonsense in Ishin. I don't think I can do it for more than a chapter. I feel underpowered all the time. I don't like the orb leveling in this game. I don't like following a path like this unless it's like 0 where I level willy bully because of the money gimmick. It just feels...bad. I go to Yakuza/Like A Dragon for the power fantasy. This isn't that. It's the same way I felt about Dead Souls. I will chip away at because Yakuza but it's going to take forever.
