So i bought this the day it came out and never went back to it. Finally started playing it the other day after i read they got some DLC coming. Just finished the Benedikta fight. If this game is more of that I'm ready. I'm a fan of the game of thrones setting.

This should hold me down until Spidey 2.

There's fights much better than Benedikta

100. If you like spectacle this game is for you. But how a FF game not have debuffs, elemental damage and resistances, phoenix downs. If it was called something else instead of FF it wouldn't be as bad. But this is just egregious. I dropped the game after titan dominant fight. Just YouTube the rest

Playing Baldur's Gate right now, this is still my favorite GOTY.

I didn't encounter a single bug my entire play through.

Having to turn on/off a game to have it reset to a non-breaking state on top of an already Dark Souls-like trial and error is too much for me.

I'll take the clean, bug-free game nearly every time. I got too much shyt to do.

just beat this. dragged on with all the Ultima fights and I wish the storyline would have stayed grounded on some kingdom warfare GOT shyt but overall pretty dope.

I say the metacritic is about right. Ill give it a 8.5.

Just keeping it real here those Eikon fights were amazing spectacles to behold but as actual boss battles they were trash. They weren’t challenging and most of them dragged on for too long. They felt like extra long cutscenes. Cool to look at and experience for the first time but that novelty was most of the enjoyment. The pre-prime Benedikta and Titan fights were better bosses than the Eikon parts.

This game is a lot like Metal Gear Solid 4. It was an amazing experience at the time but now that I’ve completed it I doubt I ever really want to go back and experience it again. The best part was seeing these things unfold for the first time.

The ending also left a sour taste for me personally. I felt cheated to play through this long game to get the sort of ending this game had.
