First time I've ever enjoyed a fishing mini game. It's fun just catching one fish at a time cause it uses the duel sense to great effect. 

TBH Nier Automata has my favorite fishing mini-game. I press 1 button.

😀 There is beauty in simplicity.

On my list, maybe there'll be a Black Friday sale.

The game is getting a soft discount around here right now, if the discount becomes substantial I'll go for it.

During black friday we usually find ways to combo discounts and coupons around here, so I'm looking foward for Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin, FF16 too to a lesser extent, as that one becomes a good find used sooner or later too.

Edit: lol, as soon as I posted I got a coupon for a store doing an early black friday deal on Rise of the Ronin, got it for $29 with shipping included.

Where do you typically buy your games from?



The bits where Lily operates the drone are better than Adam, she has more life in her, she's more human. They really should have made her the drone pilot for the entirety of the game and it would have helped so much in bringing some humanity to the voice over while off exploring. I can get by with EVE being moatone, much like Geralt on TW3 is muted ad long ad the character she's talking to do good VA and many do but Adam is the real problem and when the two of them are talking together it's so lifeless but the game over comes these issues somehow and I'm still in for the story and side quests which there was a lot of and I completely cleared before a point of no return. 

Also, no one is talking about how good this game looks, it makes rocks, deserts and the most bland of landscapes so beautiful, it's the same kinda beauty as with SoTC remake, it has the same kind of graphical style just more technically impressive plus loads of little touchs like a boss arena that has fog swirling on the ground but the way EVE pops with the environment, it helps that she is so beautiful too like when a hot model is sitting on a luxury car. And the HDR, it's so perfectly balanced, the contrast needed to be upped just two or three points but devs have gotten really good and standardising now with the HDR calibration on the PS4 and PS5. They almost always get it right where as in the ps4 pro days you were constantly changing settings for games. I love it.

I don't have a ps5 to play it on so i can't rate the game but I'm waiting for it on pc, if it's in the same genre as nier there's no way I won't like it.

It's less like Neir as a replica (no pun) but more like if Neir, Sekiro, DMC, Bayonetta, GoW 2005 and Uncharted aswell as few other older style games were compressed into one game with ubisoft openworld side quests design and a needlessly sexy main character that can be pretty damn lewd at times if you choose. It doesn't have the genre bending elements or the meta stuff Neir A has but it does have a lot of varied gameplay along the way, hence why I say a lot of other games from the last 20 years with QTE set pieces and what not, like it becomes Dead Space at points and has rail riding sections from Rachet and Clank for example. There's a skate pipe placed on one map that connects both ends literally for no other reason than it looks and feels cool to traverse it. The devs made this game with the sole purpose of the gamers enjoyment which, sad to say isn't the norm anymore and you can tell, they really want you to love it and they succeed.

Where do you typically buy your games from?

I'm from Brazil, dunno if you would still be interested in knowing, but if you are, here it goes.

When I buy new games there are 3 places I usually get them.

1. Amazon

As a Amazon Prime member I get free shipping for basically everything I buy there, as most come from Amazon themselves and there is 100% guaranteed free shipping from them. Usually it also ships pretty fast coming from them too. Not very easy to get coupons from them, tho.

2. Mercado Livre

This is the Brazilian branch of an Argentinian site called Mercado Libre (meaning Free Market) that fuction somewhat like both Amazon and Ebay. I'm also a member there and get a lot of free shippings. There is also a good chance of getting coupons there, way bigger than on Amazon.

3. Kabum

This is a Brazilian site focused on tech, mostly PCs, it's one of the biggest places in the country to find PC parts and also have a decent amount of console games to get. It's very rare to get free shipping there as I'm not a member. This is where I got Rise of the Ronin today, it's harder than Mercado Livre to get coupons but still a lot easier than Amazon. This is also where I bought nearly all parts of my PC when I was building it.

When I buy used games (mostly bought used games during the PS3 and PS4 gens, and I still buy a few of them too) they usually came from 2 main places.

1. Mercado Livre

As I said, it also function likes Ebay and it's pretty good to find used games directly from other people there, it's one of the safest places to do that kind of gaming hunt online nowdays, when 15 years ago it was actually one of the riskier places (here in Brazil there is scams going on everywhere, you do have to be always on watch for those, lol).

2. Meu Game Usado

The name means My Used Game. I don't buy from there that often anymore, but it is where I got most of my used games for sure, it is the branch focused on selling used games from a Brazilian site that sells new games called ShopB. I found some excellent prices there back in the day, sadly used games are expensive there nowdays, and as you can't actually see the actual copy before you get it, as they usually have multiple of them, it's not the best place to get it anymore.

I have gotten games from some of the most random sites from here, it was a lot of fun to search the internet for a new niche place that was not a scam and had good deals, lol.

That's cool! Quite the variety of places.  I was wondering where you get all of your coupons and such. North America just has your standard places.

Not really for video games.

Only video game related coupons I ever come across is from Gamestop for their used games, and its like once in a while, like they email it to me for my birthday.
