EAX over A3D?
I'm currently playing Detroit: Become Human - my first Quantic Dream came since Omikron way back when.
Quantic Dream has only gotten worse with each game.
I finished Dragon Quest XI and I have to say that while I liked it loads better than Final Fantasy XV it was still a disappointment. This game really felt more like a walking simulator than an RPG, everything was so heavily balanced with no chance of random loot or better spells than you were designed to have at any point. Really to me it might as well have just been in a straight hallway the entire game, the illusion of free travel never really felt free to me since you were so heavily balanced, it really just felt like being on a leash the whole time.
The combat was passable but everything felt so capped that it was more like you could either win the fights or you were doing something wrong, it never really felt like I was making a difference, most of the abilities seemed to have about the same effect and your characters level and weapon make most of the difference with effectiveness so its all capped by the constrictive design.
Sidequest were dumb for the most part consisting of go fight this monster and use this specific move felt like it made up a good 25% of the quests.
I found the characters to be insipid or annoying...really not much to write home about.
So meh overall for Dragon Quest XI, not enough of an RPG and too much of bad characters and childish story telling.
I'm starting Metro Exodus, w/RTX enabled now...
