Extremely boring. Stupid story. Bad battle and map system. Don't know any good from this game.

I know I'm not alone about this, but who else hoards potions in games then never actually uses them because they feel it's not the right time? I'm about 24 hours into this game and I still haven't used any of my potions.
It's not even just potions. In games like Fallout 3, I refused to use the Fatman because …

It's not even just potions. In games like Fallout 3, I refused to use the Fatman because I didn't want to use up my mini nukes. Essentially, anything I deem valuable or limited in a game, I just refuse to use it. How do y'all overcome this hoarding mentality in games??

the new patch added the two things this game badly needed. a map, and a mode to re battle bosses you have beaten before (if you finished the game at least once) including gauntlets and challenge modifiers for extra difficulty and new twists on the bosses.

I have to give credit, this is an excellent addition and it raises the game in my eyes.

This game is gonna win every GOTY Award selected by audience votes like the Golden Joystick Awards. Not because it's the best game of the year (it's not, it's good but it's far from being the Best), but because the chinese gamers are voting, they are more than we can imagine and they are extremely nationalist. They will vote for …

I quit. I cannot defeat the last secret boss
I already killed the final boss, watched credits and defeated all the secret bosses except for the last one, but my brain refuses to acknowledge I finished the game.
You know what? Fuck my brain. It's not fun anymore, it's not challenging in an engaging way anymore. …

You know what? Fuck my brain. It's not fun anymore, it's not challenging in an engaging way anymore. I have other games I wanna play more than this.
Bye monkey. It was cool while it lasted.

True horror: After more than 40 hours, I was finally fighting the final secret boss and then the Playstation crashed and gave me a "console is too hot, please turn it off" warning.

My whole build in this game is dedicated to power the 'A Flock of Many' spell to create copies of the monkey (monkopies) and let my copies to overwhelm the bosses.
You can imagine my surprise when I reached a boss that hipnotized my copies and turned them against me.

Almost two hours and three bosses later I realized the zone I was in was completely optional and the rewards weren't even that good. 😩😩😩

According to PCGamer, the game broke the record for most concurrent users for Steam at 37 million. Amazing game.

Why didn't they just wrote the dialogue as good karma, instead of merit.

Got deep into Act 2 tonight and gotta say, just not really seeing what's special about this.
- Non descript levels that look like stock Unreal assets piled together. Confusing as hell to navigate too.
- A billion resources to collect, but I have no idea what any are used for.

Got deep into Act 2 tonight and gotta say, just not really seeing what's special about this.
- Non descript levels that look like stock Unreal assets piled together. Confusing as hell to navigate too.
- A billion resources to collect, but I have no idea what any are used for.
- Combat feels great at first, but it's starting to feel very one-dimensional. My playstyle virtually hasn't changed.
- Boss are fine? None of the designs are memorable and they're mostly pulling out stock Souls patterns.
- No idea if this is a super accurate depiction of how Journey to the West unfolds, but the story is just barely there for me.
Anyone super digging it? What stands out? Just feel like I'm missing something here. It feels very middle of the road!

Is the controversy even real or is the dev team in on it?
