The FW part didn't add much to the whole, but I enjoyed the revisit and things seemed to flow better with the already upgraded weapons. Interestingly, the child Aloy era is skipped in New Game+.<br /><br />I loved the openness of the overworld (Tallnecks were great!), but really disliked the linearity of the Cauldrons. I also felt Aloy was as bland as cardboard. In fact, most of the tribe members were. Standout characters were few and far between. I liked Erend, but my favourite was Sylens.<br /><br />I didn't get any of the bugs you mentioned (on a PS4 slim).<br /><br />Overall, an enjoyable open-world experience with a story that needed a little more humour along the way to offset its bland voice acting.<br /><br />4 out of 5 from me, too.Dr Faustushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13608513546014130157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5219000745438793285.post-24979721189174282072023-11-07T16:34:37.891-08:002023-11-07T16:34:37.891-08:00Dang, bruh, this one is huge. lolDang, bruh, this one is huge. lolImpudent Urinalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02168428923939864093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5219000745438793285.post-38093674026716337242020-08-03T14:29:00.706-07:002020-08-03T14:29:00.706-07:00Hi Doc~

I remember him opening the box and being surprised that it needed three discs. I didn’t play it myself until years later.<br /><br /><b>VIII</b> was the first of the franchise that I personally played from start to end - and like the saying goes, we never forget our first. I’ve not re-played it since, but have thought about doing so many times.<br /><br />I don’t recall all of the issues you mentioned, but I do remember the main protagonists being pretty blank (in comparison to at least one of the antagonists), and the chore of drawing spells.<br /><br />I don’t know what I’d score it if I played it today, but I’ve fond memories of the experience and still shudder when I recall my first ever Malboro fight in an innocent looking copse of trees. The creature used his signature move and my entire party wiped themselves out – with hours of game-play unsaved.<br /><br />PS.
