@Th3solution Borderlands on Vita was notoriously bad. It's not your Vita.
@Kidfried Thanks. <3 It's fun talking about it with y'all.
You mention playing the game differently: I imagine you tend to gravitate toward main story missions, whereas I mainly just ignore them. Am I correct in that assumption?
@Th3solution Yeah, as I said in the HZD thread, I couldn't get into the DLC for the game at all as the combat mechanics felt so alien going back to the game and as my save was in the post-game all the enemies were pretty high level and wiped me out.
Similarly, going back to Witcher 3 for all the DLC a good while later was a struggle to start with but this was because they'd introduced enemy scaling. So the packs of wolves I was easily dispatching by coughing in their general direction were now ripping me to shreds.
It's one of the reasons I don't like story DLC; I'm normally done with a game once I've finished it and that's it. TW3 DLC was worth the hassle though.
@Thrillho That's why I'll be incorporating the DLC content into my base playthrough. And also why I tend to pass on games when I know they'll have story DLC releasing for them. I'd prefer to get the whole experience in one go, y'know?

@Ralizah Yeah I hope so (referring to my Vita). I’m paranoid about it dying. It is an original phat 3G OLED model so it’s got a lot of mileage. And now since they stopped manufacturing the Vita I’m scared to death that mine will die and I’ll be left scouring the internet for a second-hand scratched up and soiled Vita so I can play my backlog.

@Kidfried Oh yeah. I find that the entire arsenal has some utility. Blast wires are great for both offensive (traps) and defensive (spacing, especially when you string them along choke points) purposes. The elemental sling is OK when I want to freeze or shock an enemy. I don't see much use for shock or frost arrows when I can just use the vastly superior slings, but fire arrows are amazing. Put a few 40%+ fire element mods on your bow and you can set pretty much anything on fire quickly. It's amazing for tough human enemies.
Even the piddly spear has its uses, as running up and stabbing an enemy when they've fallen is an amazing way of inflicting damage.

Just about finished with the second (Cyber Slueth Hacker's memory)... It's my first digimon game too @KratosMD (It's a side story so I didn't need to play the first... And it was cheaper too new xD) so keep an eye to the games you've recently beat thread if you're interested on hearing my thoughts!
As for actual input to the topic, Currently playing the Resident Evil Origins Collection... First time playing Zero and the RE:make.
I'm gearing up to write thoughts on Zero as well. That game certainly is... Something

@RogerRoger
In fairness, it took me 40 hours or so to plat Lego Batman 3 - I was not having fun by the end of it really. Anything to cut a couple of corners is perfectly valid for those games!

I figured it'd be best to move the conversation here as we're kinda derailing the games you've beat topic @Ralizah
But yeah Got the real armour key from the suit trap and that Crimson Head popped up that's outside the door.... I proceeded to burn everything I could. And f#$@ forest too!

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Yeah. I believe you don't even unlock hard difficulty until you play it on normal the first time.
Also consider that Jill is kind of "easy mode" anyway thanks to her better starting gear. She's my preferred character, though. There's a limit to how often I want my teeth to be kicked in.
If you complete it on normal or hard with both characters, you can unlock a mode that makes the enemies invisible. Y'know, if the game wasn't already brutal enough.
It's a beautiful, atmospheric, and sometimes harrowing experience. And so, so different from the PS1 original tonally.
Mmm that's a similar thing in the sequel too (Thoughts on the entire thing coming soon) Though I'm not as bothered overall about the amount of text, the story is put on ice at times with some padding here and there
In context of being a Detective (A Hacker in the side story/sequel) it makes sense why there is periods of downtime and you're not barrelling through the multiple story threads at all times but I can understand the mixed feelings on some of it being considered padding.
However you're fond of the persona series (I am too I might add), you spend plenty of time in those games not furthering the plot along with social links and the likes... Persona 5 in particular dragged on to me and there's a whole of text to scroll through
Still I can understand your concerns they aren't perfect games

It's still essentially padding while you're waiting for the next story thread to kick in @KratosMD even if it's not as noticable and more enjoyable in Persona. There are some "friendship" scenes in Hacker's memory but it's only a three scene thing after doing a number of repeatable side quest battles.
I'd say persona 5 is worse at over explaining every little thing but that's just my personal opinion lol
Hopefully the pacing becomes better for you and you enjoy it more!
