    Alright, question.

    So to the people who have taken some issue with the quality of Watch space Dogs presented in the Unfinished for it, what turned you off?

    Not being snarky, I am genuinely curious.

    Chincy.

    How much time are you really going to spend keeping around 50 characters at approximately equal levels?

    I'm still looking forward to Watch Dogs, I think it looks pretty damn good.

    I am kind of confused by the fact that whenever gameplay footage surfaces people act like Ubisoft just took a dump in their mouth.

    You don't have to do that. You get a zillion characters in FEA, so if you miss a character or two, it really isn't the end of the world.

    Tell that to Completionist Chincy

    he is a tiny chinchilla that lives in my head and nettles at me until I get all the things

    Also, he's a massive racist

    I have slowly been killing Completionist Me, but it is difficult. Still drives me crazy sometimes.

    In big open games I can ignore it now

    But in tightly pathed shit like most JRPGs now?

    No way

    Also I have to keep every character at roughly equal level

    and i thought being me was awful

    Except for frederick who I don't use at all because its cheating

    frederick actually becomes garbage pretty quickly

    Real quick: use Frederick as little as possible. He's an invincible tank for at least half of the game, but he'll steal experience away from characters that really need it and it won't do anything for him.

    Conversely, get Donnell to finish off as many enemies as you can.

    I can tell you what is going to happen first

    You are going to have a lot of duplicates of characters man, the game is balanced around people dying you are not going to have 50 unique dudes

    This is basically you saying "I am determined to suffer as much as possible entering this game"

    Not really equivalent

    The game isn't designed for you to use absolutely everybody

    Fifty dudes was not hyperbole, and you can only use what, like ten in any given battle?

    DLC characters adds another fifteen or so as well

    the characters are not meant to die you are meant to play perfectly

    you can lose people but the idea is that losing a dude is a fail state. it's different from xcom.

    for playing on normal I mean.

    My followup advice would be "Don't play Fire Emblem Awakening", because the way you would be forcing yourself to play it would make it a bad game.

    Yeah Fredrick has a high floor but a low ceiling. Donnel is basically the opposite.

    I'd sooner pound a nail through my dick than play FFXIV and yet plenty of people in this very thread enjoy it.

    Different strokes for different folks, if this is how Chincy derives his enjoyment from the game then that is that. It does not matter if this is how the designer intended the game to be played or not. It doesn't matter if Chincy beats the game or not. If he is having fun and feels his time is being well spent then it is all gravy baby.

    To be fair, Chincy's playing on Normal Casual

    pretty much anything he does will succeed.

    As soon as he gets Master Seals he might as well sit back and relax. No need to min/max anything.

    I think people are noticing that he is not having fun, and are thus encouraging him to play a game in a way he might find more fun

    of course this kinda slides into weird mocking on some peoples' part because, well, internet

    Well, he did just tell us he had no idea he could save in more than one slot, so in that sense he got things horribly, horribly wrong.
