To be fair though, Wild Hunt does have a very repetitive: go to a spot, use witcher sense to find something, follow the trail set of quests. The story aspect makes it more interesting and bearable, but certainly not original or creative.

I have the problem with the looting as well all the time. Coming off of Bloodborne which had such precise control this game feels loose and difficult for no good reason.

Agreed! dozens of hours spent collecting mounts that I can’t enjoy in any of the current content. Face it, the World itself is mostly dull. The NPC’s are boring, the mobs are like robots on train rails. This place is not alive, it doesn’t even work hard to create the illusion that it’s alive. There’s absolutely no…

The removal of flying drives me nuts for a few reasons...

I watched my wife do the hunter quest right before I did the benediction quest on my priest. Those were amazing! Felt a real sense of accomplishment when they were done.

I’ve never lost a save file or had the inability to save, but I’ve had the game crash quite a few times after leaving it suspended for any extended period of time. Especially if you suspend then let the PS4 go into rest mode.

Speaking of speeding along, I found that if you jump every 3 or 4 seconds while sprinting the stamina bar refills while you’re in the air and you can continue to sprint indefinitely. It seems to be faster then the alternative of releasing the sprint button for a second or two. Anyone else try/notice this?

Finally proof that Kotaku is in bed with Beelzebub himself!

new favorite gif, so perfect.

The final chocobo race where you have to collect the balloons, avoid birds, and get below 0.00 is insane! I’ve played through the game about 5 times and have had to attempt the race probably 100+ times to get past it.

first thing I always think of when I see this kind of stuff. Kenshin was the man! Power to those who don’t really want it, less power for those who covet it.

Thanks for posting that main menu song below the first five minutes. Made my DAY! Favorite song in all of final fantasy. This was the song that got me into video game sound tracks. Then once I got tired of them, I still keep several versions of this song on my iPhone at all times. Could just listen to it on repeat…

THANK YOU! Limited number of episodes, great action and story. Nothing too culturally specific that it would scare away westerners. This, Tenchi Muyo, and Kenshin got me into it.

This is right on. I’d like to add that it’s difficult to move horizontally in many different professions and fields. Try going from any technical position on a movie to writing or acting...

Meeeooooowww!! *dun* *dun duh*

I know it's available on the wii VC, and that you can still make purchases from that VC even if you're accessing it via the Wii U's wii mode. In fact, after reading this I'm going to play it this weekend just to get it fresh in my memory for when the 3ds version comes out!

Did anyone else find these guys personalities insufferable? Just the intro made my teeth hurt.

I have an interesting perspective on this because I play lots of games (always trying to keep up with whatever comes out) while my wife plays only WoW these days (last few years). She def spends more time playing, and more time engaged in what she's doing then I do, but I don't know if she feels as fulfilled as I do.…

I watched all night last night! I passed out on the couch and woke up to castlevania series. I'm so glad I came across this article.

I'm def. going to pickup Divinity. I've seen a fair amount about it on this site. Thanks for reminding me :-)
