Just started playing this. Started at Saturday noon, and it's 1am on Sunday when I realized there's no way you can complete this game in one sitting, it seems like I still have a third of the game left.
What are some other very long non-sandbox/openworld singleplayer games? Preferably no AAA shit.
Totally worth a buy, specially with that discount. If you don't use a walktrough, you may take weeks playing it. Just, no matter what, NEVER read the tablet that warns you not to read it.
Brayden Cook
I heard it was long but I didn't realize what that meant. It just seems to keep going on and on, just when I start to get my bearings in the area I was exploring, I run into a completely new area I don't have a map for, and it keeps happening.
That's another game I've meant to play for a while. Maybe I'll get it now.
What does that mean? Will it spoil the puzzles for you? Or make it worse?
Jack Gray
It just turns on hard mode
Elijah Green
It makes everything harder forever, you may only notice it after it's too late and you already saved. Not recommended on your first playtrough at all, will make searching for stuff a nightmare. Another golden hint is ignoring the in-game note app and write down notes on important/peculiar stuff irl on an actual paper. The in-game tool is too barebones and limited.
Juan Walker
Ah I see, I was mostly concerned about the game becoming easier.
Thanks. I heard somewhere not to buy the compass in hollow knight, and I think that was good advice. You have to actually think where you are and how to navigate the map, rather than just looking at it and adjusting based on where it says you are.
I wish there was info like that for most games, or even better if the devs thought of it. Things you can do to make the game more interesting.
Dominic Young
well open world or open ended games can pretty much last forever (I know the difference) but anyway, I've been binging on total war for two weeks now, playing attila, one full campaign can easily last the fuck out a whole with you playing it everyday several hours
Jayden Turner
New update soon.
I like the sentiment of that but people who play metroidvanias naturally do that anyway. It comes with the territory of searching every wall for secrets and becoming familiar with your surroundings through gameplay alone. Even without a map.
Jaxon White
even with the dash charm moving from place to place can feel kinda tedious in this game
Jaxson Carter
Yeah, that compass is there just in case a player has a reeeeally bad sense of direction or position. I think even players that use it at first will eventually change it for a better badge.
I sure hope you didn't stop playing a game halfway trough. This kills the motivation.
Robert Rodriguez
Legend of Heroes - Trails in the sky is a ridiculously long JRPG that focuses wholly on narrative and character development and is something that will not be finished in one sitting.
Aiden Barnes
How about you stop playing indieshit and lurk more, faggot
Alexander Fisher
Part 2 is too long though. Lots of filler.
Jack Nguyen
I probably would have bought it though if I hadn't heard not to.
I mean it's an unlockable I can get, of course I'll buy it. I can't usually think ahead on a meta level like that, especially because games are rarely designed with that decision in mind. Like you can decide in a given game not look at a minimap or objective markers or whatever, but the game may not be build to be navigable that way. I've seen examples of I think Fallout games, where you get a quest with completely insufficient amount of directions because you're supposed to just go where the quest marker tells you to.
I'd love a game where I have to draw the map myself and add points of interests into it, but it would have to be a very good and interesting game to be worth all the effort.
Ethan Reyes
I own a copy of this and I can just emulate it if I want. No need to buy that port of the butchered HD version.
David Gonzalez
It was just an equipable badge just like the others. I just bought it cheap, noticed later it wasn't necessary and wasting a badge point, then just didn't use it anymore.
Get a notebook ready for La-Mulana.
Hunter Perez
You sure about that? I can't see anything else that I can "unequip" except for charms, and the compass wasn't a charm as far as I recall.
I almost regret buying the other map badges too, but I don't see a way to disable them. Not that I'd probably want to at this point since I've already explored so much.
Shit, I just checked it out and it's releasing in 4 fucking days. I think I may just stop playing and start over when the update comes out. I have no idea how significant it's supposed to be though.
Justin Kelly
Would recommend Myst: Riven.
Easton Ross
I wouldn't bother. It isn't really the type of game that locks you out of content as you progress except near the very end.
Carter Diaz
OP if you know where to go, it's 2-3 hours tops.
Enjoy it. It's a solid game and can take 20 hours or more to find all the secrets blind on your first playthrough.
Just don't cheese bosses with all the +dmg shit with iframes
Jose Wilson
Also
WHEN IS LA MULANA 2
Hunter Diaz
Its a great game user. I still feel terrible for only paying 15$ for it, the devs honestly deserved more, especially considering they give free fucking DLC. I'm tempted to buy the soundtrack just to throw money at them even though it'd be near-pointless since i'd likely never listen to it.
hilariously enough Dark Souls fits your criteria fairly well. Its not quite as linear as Hollow Knight (which isn't linear, but is still 2D) but it ends up being very similar Symphony of the Night will likely take you at least 2-3 days if you're a thorough bastard on your first blind playthrough, as will LttP.
Bentley Diaz
Also Valkyria Chronicles if you bother to listen to watch every cutscene, and Fire Emblem 7 as well. Again this is all assuming blindness and being thorough. Chrono Trigger will probably take you a decent chunk of time too when blind, about 20-30 hours most likely.
Gabriel Morris
How?
Josiah Fisher
I just checked and apparently only the loading times minigames are gone? (which is pointless since the game loads way faster now?)
Tyler Perez
Please stop shilling tumblrknight.
John Hall
It's a good game, kill yourself.
Julian Ross
Nah. Kill (You)rself, you autistic fuckwit cunt.
Jaxson Campbell
Take your halfchan shit memes with you.
William Long
Go back to 4chan you faggot. We don't want you here.
Kevin Edwards
Stop breathing. Kill yourselves.
Henry Reyes
I agree with everything you said, EXCEPT I was 99% sure they called Cuphead or whatever the fuck his name was a boy.
Austin Clark
Who are you quoting? Hollow Knight has a transgenderfluid character.
Gabriel Rivera
Shit I saw the cuphead reaction image and lost my train of thought.
Zachary Davis
Uh yeah, Hollow knight doesn't have a gender because he is an unnatural abomination. Maybe I don't lurk tumblr as much you seem to, but I can't imagine tranny freak or whatever being inspired by him.
Henry Walker
Turn on. Massive turn off. If she wants to fight, give her a ranged weapon. Brawling is a masculine behavior.
Bentley Watson
shin megami tensei 4. was almost certain i've played almost 30 hours but asked someone and im still just on the middle part of the game
Samuel Sanchez
Binaryphobe detected. Kill yourself you white privileged shit.
Jayden Robinson
Sorry zir, I will try to remember zour pronouns from now on.
Jack Fisher
So it's a tumblr game because the player character's gender isn't mentioned? Ok user, what ever you say.
Ryder Green
Don't fucking reply. Report and filter, you're falling for basic derailment.
Elijah Harris
Vessel isnt gender neutral. Hornet is called the "gendered child", which in Old English meant female
Angel Ward
If memory serves the ingame clock to count play time is somewhat broken, but I'm pretty sure I put in at least 80 actual hours into Wild Arms 3, even without doing all the optional content. Got well over my money's worth for the $10 or so I spent on it.
Robert Howard
This Its a lovely game with an outstanding morality system. Atlus definitely did not disappoint. I unfortunately didn't get to finish it yet, but I've put in something like, 55 hours in it so far? Had to take a hiatus for reason I'd rather not explain
You're asking to be baited more
Also if people couldn't figure out Vessel wasn't a boy by his design, they should've figured it out by him being a reincarnation or w/e of the KING
Julian Nguyen
He achieved the mark of the king and became the new one he wasnt a reincarnation, though the old one stayed at the white palace.
