So, I'm playing Banner Saga 3, and I get cheated out of a win, yet again, by this game. Twice during a battle I'm not allowed to make the attack I want because of some technicality I wasn't aware of. Do I have to read a book to figure this game out? Well, I'm out. I quit.
But not quite. I restarted BS 1 but lowered the difficulty to see what happens. I hope I can run all three games and enjoy the dismal story of death and "was it worth it?" survival. I still enjoy the animations and sound. Fantastic game, really, if frustrating and a little depressing.
Also, while I was playing, the Eagles lost to Dallas. Ugly stuff. . . I don't even want to talk about it. I'm going to Genos for a cheesesteak to forget about the whole thing.
The Eagles losing to Dallas is one of very few good things that have happened to Dallas this year. Let us have this. lol
I did feel bad for Dez Bryant and the Saints though.
Yea, Dallas is struggling but they moved the ball pretty good against us that day. We've got defense problems right now. I think there are a bunch of injuries or something.
The NFC East is whacky. Other than the Giants, everyone still has a shot at winning the division. Ertz always seems to have a huge game against Dallas.
Sucks about your game. At least you're giving it another shot. I would have moved on to something else.
Ertz did have a big game. They almost came back at the end but they were playing catchup the whole game. Not good.
I lowered the difficulty in Banner Saga when I played it too, but then it got too easy and I raised it once I understood the mechanics. Make sure you buy items and equip them on your people too, that helps.
I did like everything. I had items, did everything to gain more renown to level up. Generally I did fine through the main missions but then always hit a wall at the final battle. I just think the mechanics may be a bit too complex for their own good. Drives me a little bit crazy.
I'm glad to hear easy difficulty makes the battles easier. I was thinking all it did was let your wounded characters heal up right away. I can't wait to just cruise through the game and focus on the complete story 1-3.
I've always wanted to play those games—they're so pretty—but I've never bought any of them and, ya know, I'm not really into depressing stuff
It really wears on you after a while. I think the missions are also meant to beat you down. If you lose, you can still continue on, just with wounded characters and a less satisfying result in the story. It all to build this oppressive, desperate fight these characters are forced to confront.
