I totally understand. I'm like that a lot too, especially the last few years when I was in college. I'm getting better sticking with games I start now, but I have a while to make up for! When you have so many games to start you lose patience with them and want to move on to the next new experience.

I loved Tales of Vesperia. I know a lot of people don't like that game but I felt that the characters had a perfect balance and it didn't suffer from backtracking like the mess that was Tales of the Abyss. Graces was interesting, but I have to get back into that before I have a final opinion.

That's good to hear. I recently beat Tales of the Abyss and I didn't like it. I still have many to play in the series but this one killed my momentum playing the other games. I'll probably continue Graces next but I'm in no rush. Which is your favorite?

I'm doing good, working hard in RL and trying to beat my backlog when I have time. I've been making a lot of progress lately! Sorry for the late reply by the way. I thought I replied to you but I don't think my phone sent the comment back.

I know a few people who are feeling the burnout. My static is taking a break. And I've just been logging in to do roulettes.

So you've been enjoying Bregeta? I was in a team with her, I was Ana, and there was a McCree. By the end of the match the enemy team was afraid to attempt anything because of all the stun or sleep.

Thanks bro.

I think you might be a little surprised with the story and characters given your initial feelings. If it's a pleasant one or not I can't predict, but I'll be stalking your page to see your impressions on it as you play.

Also, it took me a while to finally get through the game because I got so sidetracked with quests and collecting. Which is a good thing because the main campaign felt a bit on the short side.

First of all the game is gorgeous and I don't even have a Pro or a 4K TV, so the visuals alone should blow you away.

I compare HZD to Assassin's Creed a lot due to the collectables, map expansion, and stealth (although that was bare bones compared to AC, sadly). Gameplay is heavily centered around bows and other projectiles rather than melee. Similar to BotW, expect to be knocked around a lot early on until you can upgrade abilities and weapons.

Fighting machines can be really chaotic, but a lot of fun. Aside from story battles if things begin to go south on you there is usually always an opportunity to flee and regroup. And DEFINITELY experiment with items/weapons. Some I didn't try out until later and they would have proven helpful.

The story is nice, but there is a lot of exposition near the end, but I got so invested in it that it didn't bother me.

Had this not come out in the same year as Zelda it would have been my GOTY. If you have any other questions, let me know. I don't know how well described my experience.

I also can't say whether you should get the Complete Edition or not since I haven't gotten around to playing the DLC included, but from what I've heard it is really good.
