I'm on PC. Been eyeing the extended inventory option for a while but I wanted to try to get the intended game experience, plus there's the whole lore thing about 6 items being government-mandated. Am probably going to tap out and take the extended inventory option though, the way they structured the base game is just too much. I'm also playing on Hard mode, so maybe that's part of the problem.

The English German Japanese fusion of the culture is absolutely a heavy part of the aesthetic, hopefully that grows on you.
The aesthetic I really like, but I think some parts of it aren't conducive to the horror experience. Horror excels when it straddles the thin line of understanding something and not understanding something. Signalis often shows me information in another language that I 100% can't understand so it falls a bit flat.

At the moment I think this is going to end up being a game I don't completely love but am definitely glad I played. It's rare that media has this strong of a 'voice'. The developer knew the kind of experience they wanted to portray at every possible point.

Also some fucker stole my picture of girlfriend, he must die

Not far in, but so far is this a game of highs and lows. Extremely strong vision that I respect a lot. Excellent atmosphere, graphics, sound design, and overall sense of style. Recreates Silent Hill gameplay in a great way. This game has a ton of good ideas and is using all of them to effectiveness.

The hyper-limited inventory space almost ruins the entire experience. Even by survival horror standards, six slots (when there's tons of key items that take up space) is bananas. There's so much backtracking to the storage container that I can't stay on edge - the classic 'horror replaced by annoyance' issue. Tempted to use the setting option that extends your inventory space but that feels like losing somehow.

Also, while I like how the game combines several different cultures/languages so it's not just an English feel...that also kinda dilutes the horror when I don't know those languages. It keeps flashing German on screen during spooky moments and it means nothing to me. In general the game could stand to linger slightly longer on the flashes of text it shows, too.

don't know enough to vote today but going to make the case that regardless of what game you're the best at you should pick clue, assuming that the devil is smart enough to be better than you at every game.

with clue you can at least just guess random combinations and pray you get it before him, everything else is too skill-based to have a chance
1 v 1 Monopoly is absolutely not skill-based and that's why I picked it

Get some lucky rolls early on, then slowly, painstakingly crush the devil under the grinding bootstraps of capitalism

Missed this - okay yeah this sounds a lot like the usual suspects being very loud and annoying, exploding a kernel of truth into an ocean of click/ragebait.
I mean from my perspective it's still not great. I've had buyer's remorse on like half the characters I create in games after 15 minutes of experimenting. The fact that I would have to do extra legwork to remake instead of just clicking New Game is nuts. Performance issues are a much bigger concern, but I can't say learning this bit didn't stunt my enthusiasm by a certain degree.

More research has shown that you can change your character's appearance in-game. Have to buy an item using in-game currency at major cities. The currency can be acquired either through doing stuff in-game (or through microtransactions, lol). That's a lot better than appearance changing being solely locked to microtransactions.

Still can't do playthrough restarts without manually deleting your save file though. So if you have regrets about how your character looks, either start deleting files or tough it out until you're able to get the item.

Solution.

Don't play games on PC!

Never works out.

(kidding this all sounds like ass)
From what I'm reading I think all these problems are the same in the console version! It's just slightly easier to force a restart because you can delete your game save data instead of needing to dig into Windows folders.

EDIT: Also not sure how console performance is compared to PC. Probably better but need to do more research, wasn't expecting to not get this on PC so I haven't bothered.

Like, it should be free, but also I've never had that problem in the first place.
Well it also extends to situations like:

Character stuck in the floor. Cant reload as it auto saved. Cant delete character and make a new one. Off to a really bad start.|

!!EDIT: I fixed it. There is infact a way to delete the save game and start over HERE
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\ [your steam user id]\2054970\remote\win64_save
(assuming steams main folder is on your C drive)

Delete the most recent ones. For me it was the top 3. Then go back to steam and disable cloud storage. I hope this helps lads

Started the game. Made a character. Once I actually started the game and saw how the characters moved I didn't like the character. Wanted to restart/delete that save to try again. Turns out you can't restart your save file. Turns out you can't actually edit your characters appearance.

I can't get over this character creation thing honestly. The 'make the game easier' DLC is whatever, I can just avoid it, but this one is absurdly scummy.

Was putting together a compatibility guide for playing the game under Linux/Steam Deck which required me to use various Proton versions. Apparently each of these counted as an individual PC and triggered the Denuvo tamper protection. Now I can't play at all on any of my systems for the crime of trying to help more users enjoy the game.

Pay-to-Win and Anti-consumer Practices by CAPCOM
Capcom hid behind a review embargo until the Release Date.
A list of Pay-to-Win items appeared on the Steam store page on the Release Date.
Pre-order exclusives (now unavailable) were attached to the Release Date.
Pay-to-Win Items
Portcrystal - Warp Location Marker
Obtain a Portcrystal, which can be set at a destination of your choice. Use a Ferrystone to instantly transport your party to the Portcrystal's location.
Wakestone - Restore the dead to life!
Gain one Wakestone, a stone ensorceled with miraculous magick. Formed of Wakestone shards, it holds the power to restore the dead to life once.
[X] Rift Crystals - Points to Spend Beyond the Rift
Gain [X] rift crystals, which can be used to hire pawns or purchase special items.
Unable to Start a New Character on PC
There is no option in game to start a new game or delete the current save file.
Once you create a character, you are stuck with your created character and must purchase Art of Metamorphosis - Character Editor to change it.
I looked online for ways to delete save files on PC, but I was unable to delete Cloud Saves from logging into Steam on a browser.
After deleting a save file on your PC, the Cloud Save will replace the deleted save file.
CAPCOM has demonstrated a high level of disrespect for their players, and I am processing a refund.

Are you sure it's not just a bunch of Incels putting it on that Sweet Baby list or something?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2054970/Dragons_Dogma_2/#app_reviews_hash

The top review states this:
$1.99 to edit your character appearance in a single-player game after spending $80.00. Your character appearance is on their servers so deleting your save files from \STEAM\userdata\NUMBER\2054970\remote\win64_save and making edits within the character creator, even with Cloud saves off, does not apply to your in-game character.

Assuming that's true, it's pretty damning imo.

The thing about FF14 is that it's forced to keep all its dungeons at roughly the same length for gameplay purposes. Which means gameplay bloat for dungeons (a.k.a. a bunch of trash puzzles) just doesn't happen...anymore. Final dungeons in FF14 are just the gameplay you already like plus great cutscenes.

Thats all you need. It should not be that complicated.

Another shoutout: Crosscode's final dungeon puzzle was the most absurd thing I've ever seen and almost made me quit.
