Soul Reaver is great, fuck you.
That's my experience as well. PS1 era controls are terrible, I'm constantly struggling with it. I'm a few levels in the game, but I'm seriously considering just watching the story.Started playing Soul Reaver. I played it a few years ago once, but I abandoned it after a few levels, locations. I just loved the atmosphere of this game, but something didn't click for me regarding the gameplay. I'm giving it now a second chance.
The gameplay was never that good. When it came out it was known for a few things:
1. No load times.
2. Voice acting
3. Music.
4. The story.
With the actual game being more of a chore to get to the story. Many games have this flaw, but this one has it the most. That is why you can find the entire story of the series on Youtube in a well edited package. I've heard the second Soul Reaver holds up a little better gameplay wise.

Did you play real-time or turn-based?Finished Pillars of Eternity 2 and 2 of its dlc
Hmm, Pillars 1 + the two expansions took me around 100 hours but I guess that's just my slow way of playing.BTW the game is quite big,bigger than the original,it took me like 75 hours for the main game and the 2 dlc

Another good thing I forgot to mention is that Titanfall 2 has always sprint as a toggle in the menu. You no longer have to hold to sprint or press to sprint, your character is always moving fast like an older fps. It's such a simple thing that more modern fps should include especially since it doesn't actually holster your weapon
Don't know. I got Origin Access for a month trial, so I was just fucking around in a few games. for the 45 minutes I played, it felt really good to move and shoot with the closest recent comparisons I can make being fast like DOOM 2016 and over the top like warframe. It is still kinda like a futuristic COD game, perhaps that will change with a mech. Regardless, I do remember Titanfall 1's multiplayer beta being really fun and there's Apex Legends which is titanfall but just multiplayer and it's more popular than titanfall so take that what you will.I've read Titanfall 2 is actually a good FPS, with good multiplayer. Is that still the case?
Oh, I get it. Moving around in DOOM 2016 is a lot of fun.I can make being fast like DOOM 2016
Completely agree with everything you said, it's up there as one of the best FPS IMO. It's actually not a very hard game, though some of the levels are complex and if you're hunting secrets you really have to go slowly and pay attention. Speaking of levels, I absolutely adore the level design in this game, I think it manages to mix up large open areas and more linear set pieces really well, I think the pacing is just excellent. I have particularly fond memories of the open spaces when getting into the palace tower, and escaping said tower along the narrow walkways, as well as from all the running around inside pipes in the fuel station.Finished up DF2:Jedi Knight. Think this is the first time I've finished it completely legit. When I was a kid I'd always have to resort to cheats at some point or just get frustrated trying to figure out how to progress and warp a level ahead, but this time was all the way from beginning to end on hard. Great game.
Really like the weapon/saber balance and how everything feels like it has a use (well, maybe not the Bryer pistol and the mines). Never been a fan of how JK2 is 95% about the saber and 90% of non-saber enemies become completely effortless with how easy it is to block. JK feels more "real", like how Han Solo would fight if he was a jedi. Throw a couple thermal detonators down the lift before going down yourself. Save the saber for the ambushes and duels.
The Stormtroopers really are great. For a game that has pretty much one enemy type for most of the game they do a good job of being fun to kill, with good hit reactions, death screams, and always a bit dangerous to fight but never due to superhuman reflexes or anything lame. I think they rank up there with DOOM's Zombies and Shotgunners as some of the best general fodder that you can always have fun mowing down. Fuck Trandoshans though, it's a good thing that they only exist to ruin a handful of areas.
There are almost no positional considerations,
I can't comment on the writing since I skipped all text.
You might not enjoy the expansion as much, as it expects you to use the lightsaber a lot more, and in fact the last act none of the others weapons work at all. It's not my favourite part of the game but it was still alright.
I only agreed to play co-cp with you cos you paid for it.titan quest anniversary with a few mods to up the boss monsters and larger fonts for my ancient eyes
gifted the game to CorpseBride for some sexy co-op antics
I just watched the story of Soul Reaver on Youtube, and started to play Soul Reaver 2. Being on the PS2, it already has much better controls than the first one. And since the game literally continous from the point where the first game ended, it's like the story video of the first game was just a long opening cutscene. Now the real game beings. :DThat's my experience as well. PS1 era controls are terrible, I'm constantly struggling with it.

Because I don't like PS1 games with shitty controls? If that's the criteria of being liked, I'm good with this.this is why nobody likes you
