I still need to finish up the first one and then I will grab this one.

Tried to get into the first one but it’s too confusing and the loading was annoying the hell out of me. Really wanted to like it cause it’s obsidian.

I'd hope so because the first one had a ridiculous amount of reading, not enough of an intro to the lore and the combat was tough as nails without any real explanation of how it worked. Played like 4 to 5 hours and wanted to like it and ended up throwing it in the bushes

I figured as much, will give a try on a sale.

It’s gonna be the same thing, this style of game always has a bunch of reading. I don’t mind reading but it’s gotta be paced properly with gameplay.

Can you transfer anything over from the first game?​
Yeah. Like.... damn near all your story related choices

Its kinda like where Dragon Age 3 ported in all your decisions on the world. Its pretty impactful apparently - I wouldn't know since I didn't play the first :mjlol: I wanted to make a hybrid class but I was shook. After I knock this first run out I'll go back and play the first when its super cheap then come at this one with the real hardmode intensity when I actually understand what's at stake.

This game is DEEP so far though :wow: and the quality and polish of everything is so apparent. This year has been off to such a great start. MHW, Battletech, Dad of Boy, now this? :noah: When Ace Combat drops I will ascend

So i'm 15 hours into the game and it's :banderas:

Great character creator that goes beyond just picking your appearance and class. I love the Pirates of the Carribean setting and the all black everything.

I never finished the first game, so there are certain parts of the plot i don't get. Great to see some recurring characters tho.

If the game keeps up the steam it'll be a contender for my GOTY:blessed:

this game is dumb deep :snoop: im just now realizing you can use paladin shyt on ranged builds and go pure DPS

i'm a fool :snoop:

really might just start over but the build i got is so damned godlike its stupid :snoop: im just making shyt work with ingenuity and tenacity
the party members you can find are astounding :snoop:

let me find out i gave a whole genre of rpgs a raw deal all my life :snoop: im such a fukking failure :snoop:
