A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Sorry for the late post, I moved this week and it’s been pretty hectic. I just realized now that I forgot to make a post on Wednesday.

Yeah, I couldn't finish Dragonfall because of combat fatigue. Returns was nice though.

IIRC, I think Returns, Persona 1, and South Park: The Stick of Truth are the only turn-based RPGs I actually beat.

My problem wasn't that serious (I enjoyed the combat and only dislike the large battles) but I can see how it can be a run killer. I'm not sure if that's of any help but I saw mentions that Hong Kong has more reading than the two previous titles, I'm definitely looking forward to that.

It didn't help my tolerance for turn-based combat and RNG is not very high.

Good to hear Hong Kong moved in another direction. The Shadowrun world is cool, so I may revisit at some point.

Just to be clear, I don't know if it added more reading on top of combat or as a potential alternative since I didn't play it yet. I just heard there's more of it (though I wouldn't say no to improving the ratio between peaceful and combat scenarios).
