Made it to Act 3. Wow


My exact feeling. The way the world opens up before the final boss area is not too dissimilar from how FF7 approaches the final showdown with Sephiroth. Love stuff like that...

I am glad I started playing this a few days ago because I am now hooked. Wow. I just got to the part where I can upgrade weapons and resources. I do have one question though about Pictos and Luminas.

So it's my understanding that you pick 3 Pictos and if you win four fights they become passive for the team? You then have to use Luminas to enable the passive ability. So does this mean I should be constantly changing Pictos once they've been enabled as passive?

Thanks for any guidance. Looks like Doom dark ages will have to wait until I beat this!

That's one way of looking at it, but you only get the 1 passive from the picto as a secondary. The 3 main pictos give you the main bonus stats when equipped (Crit, bonus health, etc...)

Definitely keep switching between Pictos so you can have the passives, else you will miss out on arguably the most important part of the game haha

Currently on vacation with the wife and kiddo, but I have 6 days off when we get back.

Can’t wait to complete Act 2 and keep going.

Everyone saying GOTY for this one.
This and Monster Hunter Wilds are the only contenders, I think

KCD2 will be considered

How wild that all 3 released a couple months apart.

Okay so this game has been simply incredible. As a Souls vet, I love the gameplay, world, characters, etc.

I’m in Act 3 trying to finish everything. I don’t want the journey to end

I was thinking today.

“I’d love to see a fromsoft take on turn based rpg.”

This game has been really good so far. I tend to get nostalgic when comparing games, so forgive me for saying this....but it genuinely gives me the same feeling I had when playing Super Mario RPG for the first time. I love the slower pace of turn-based combat like in Earthbound (and of course final fantasy/dragon warrior..though my play is limited in both of those), but the added mechanic of timing blocks or powering up attacks adds such a satisfying layer of engagement.

I finally made it through that goofy platforming section at the beach. Is that the only one in that small area? I saw a lot of people struggling with it, so I’m glad I managed to get through after about ten tries.

I'm still early in the game, but I haven’t hit any frustrating roadblocks yet. It’s striking a great balance between challenge and fairness. The music is phenomenal and the characters are really cool too.

Thanks for that info. I was just enabling the passive and leaving whatever picto was last equipped. I did not realize there was a stat attached to each picto. I will fine tune it now. Thanks.

This game is sick. Amazing voice acting and graphics. I am running Geforce now and the 4080 is struggling to get 60fps on 4k

Luckily, a couple hours into the game I thought "I know I'm missing something here...." and did a Youtube search on how they worked

I'm playing on ps5 and I have to play in performance mode, otherwise the game FPS drop to an unplayable rate.

It still looks incredible.
