Combat vs Story

Wait, Last of Us is a RPG? I was positive it was an action/adventure game. I've not played it yet, but it's one of the reasons I'm looking for a cheap PS4 for this summer.

It's strikes the right balance     You wouldn't hate yourself for buying one.

I've done my share of looking around for games, and there's a few that are worth adding, I think. There's at least three cinematic RPGs from relatively small companies supposed to come out soon:

• Deliverance: Kingdom Come. Set in 15th century Bohemia; historical fiction with no fantasy elements.
• Elex. Science fantasy.
• Vampyr. A gothic horror/dark fantasy game set in early 19th century London, by the makers of Life is Strange.

I am a pc gamer, and I only like games with customizable protagonist and party with relationships.

Trust me.  I am to but LOU is in a category of it's own if you love story.

Same here. I have one complete OCD run and I'm satisfied with that. I attempted what you did, but in the end, it was too much effort to do a full run. Same with Andromeda. I did a speed run on my first playthrough because I was using my friend's PS4 and it was so buggy that doing any side quest was a risk of breaking the save. The full run was abandoned because I just lost interest on the journey due to the fact that it is still very buggy after 1.05 and my patience was already expended. New DLC will probably arrive the same time my new rig is up and running so I'm seriously pumped for that. However, with the overall issues Andromeda and Inquisition share, it's only going to be a single run again. There are too many gaps that kills the pace. I am probably not articulating right, but the flow is messed up in a way that is hard to explain.

What I noticed is that combat's better than previous ME games, but not that it overwhelmed the story. Truth be told, the couple of story quests that didn't include combat, like the Turian ark, were pleasant surprises. Everything in a story shouldn't have to be about runnin' and gunnin' through a corridor.

I think BW did a really good job with background dialog, both among the crew on the Tempest and with NPC's on the Nexus.

Man do I feel old.I was 27 in 2007.
Edit: Damn I did the math wrong I was 24! Means I'm 34 now! *faints*

Not so much to be honest. I am more likely to play a MMO with a silly story if it allows me to create an interesting character with great customization, cool costuming in an unusual setting than a game with a novel-quality story but a fixed protagonist. The main thing that attracts me to video games is the ability to create my very own Mary Sue and check out an unusual world. assassin Creed would have been right up my alley if they actually expanded on the premise I saw in the movie of being able to hook a character (of your own background, researcher or a scoundrel) and send him or her through time in person, to have adventures in an AU human history, in the periods and locations that are exotic and fantastical. I am also pretty happy with ME and JE, but not that big a fan of DA because setting is not interesting enough. A fixed protagonist, no matter how good his story is, is of no interest to me. And that's why, apparat from combat, I did play Blade and Soul. The world and mindset was different there, and fantasy costuming (not the everything goes modernisms) was elaborate and crazy attractive. The story is so cheesy, but the concentration of cheese is so high, I just bought it. It's like a soap opera, lol, guilty pleasure.

I do as a matter of fact. I know I will. I know that people who enjoyed the game will. You read the BW and the Mass Effect Twitter feed and there's many others who definitely will.

So, yeah.

I missed the powerwheel and I'm a keyboard and mouse user. I don't feel at all in control and my situational awareness is very shallow. That's me. I'm used to the Unreal Power Wheel. Even the tactical camera from Inquisition would be of great benefit to me. I can pause it, move my guys into the position I want them in to either tank or give fire support. It would help a great deal bring me back more of that control.
