While I played and enjoyed it, I expected a lot more from Obsidian (makers of Fallout New Vegas). I loved going from planet to planet and exploring. Love the VATS system from Fallout, so that was nice to have here. The graphics are aces, but sometimes I think they spent too much of their time on buildings and textures vs designing levels. The planets themselves seem a little “shallow.” There are like 5 locations on a whole planet to check out, and there are roads the you need to stick to. The Obsidian sense of humor is here. I’m not trying to be a hater though, just an Asian dad.

I dropped off on Metal Gear after Guns of the Patriots. The convoluted story really had me confused. I’m not even sure I remember the gameplay. I had a TON of fun with Snake Eater and MGS though. I love stealth games, so maybe I’ll give it a try.

Nice! in what order would you personally rank them?

My journey:

• abandoned Dark Souls. started in 2011, but I only played it for 2 hours because I didn’t understand the Fromsoft mechanics at the time. quickly dropped.
• beat Bloodborne. picked it up on a sale and…somehow this game clicked for me. Loved everything about it
• still trying on Sekiro. Love this game, but I can’t finish it. I’ve restarted numerous times, each time getting further and further. Currently stuck at the boss of Mibu Village.
• beat Elden Ring. LOVE IT. beat this twice. More approachable compared to other games and so very satisfying.

my ranking:

1. Bloodborne
2. Elden Ring
3. Sekiro (even though it kicks my butt)

LOL so I started the game last night after typing the comment. I stayed up pretty late… :D

I’m holding off on TotK too…I remember how much of a time-sink BotW was. I recently played through BotW and I can suggest you stick to shrines and main quest and you can do it. Then take your time messing around in TotK since it’s the same map.
