Seanchan 04/01/21 12:03:11 PM #5:	I started on Dishonored 2. Playing as Emily. I had played the original Dishonored last year and found it to be...middling. I actually started on it back near the beginning of the pandemic, wasn't feeling it so I put it away for 6 months, then finally finished it in the fall. It felt like an old game in terms of visuals and mechanics. Plus I think it did a bad job of giving you interesting non-lethal powers. But maybe that's just a lack of imagination on my part when sneaking and choking worked so effectively. So I'm hoping they get the balance better in the sequel. * I also started on FF6. I've had the app on my phone for years but never got around to it. I played this back on SNES like 25 years ago (!!!) but never actually beat the final, final boss because that last dungeon was a doozy (what do you mean I need to have all my party members leveled up...). The new sprites...are going to take some getting used to. As is the menu system in battles. I was playing using the touch screen but I'm going to try using a bluetooth controller next time and see if that works a little nicer for my old school sensibilities. BTW, this game still has great music. With my slow play style I'm very skeptical I'm going to be able to make it through 20-30 hours of Dishonored 2 and 40-70 hours of FF6 in a month. But I'm going to give it a try! --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! <cite>Seanchan posted [p:952352815] in April Game...
