Simoun 04/13/21 11:27:32 AM #214:	Greedfall (PC) Ugh, from one B-List game to another. Well on the plus side, this was a vacation compared to Nioh. On the other, it was like a clunky Bioware RPG clone. I actually want to go back to Mass Effect (which I dropped because it bore me) because of this game which is a damn shame. Amazing universe and setting. Intriguing politics. But mediocre everything else. Mainly, it is the insane amounts of backtracking in this game and for what: Talking to people. Useless padding like you wouldn't believe. I had to employ a speedhack just to survive but it got real boring even after I was running around like The Flash. At least most generic RPGs had you get 20 bear butts or fight some bandits or something to accompany to unique parts of the game (looking at you Witcher 1). But in Greedfall, the sidequests consist of running around talking to people who can't be bothered to talk to each other themselves. And they're not even exciting! One mission had me dealing with land rights. This is how the quest flowed: Talk to people in the land Run back to the city, ask the Advisor (4 flights of stairs btw) for advice. Run down to the archives to get the deed (its in the basement, so thats 5 flights down) Run back out and talk to the previous governor to decipher the deed (1 flight up and around the block outside) Run back to the Advisor (4 flights again) to come to a legal decision. Run back to the land and talk to the people. And then the game has you do it AGAIN. All of that above, AGAIN. For another dispute concerning the land. It's ridiculous. Were I not a completionist who wanted those sweet EXPs I wouldn't have bothered. Nioh was tedious for being overwrought. This piece of shit was tedious for being the exact opposite. Its droll, lifeless, mundane in its execution. It feels like an awesome looking MMO but after you walk around you realize that everyone is just a static NPC and the quests don't have you doing anything epic. Avoid. --- It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you. <cite>Simoun posted [p:952784783] in Post Each ... [t:79211816]...</cite> <quote>Greedfall (PC) Ugh, from one B-List game to another.
