Speaking of sound, the game only supports stereo, which is ridiculous.
I got the same impression.
do we really need to explicitly preface every opinion in the world with "this is what I think"you know this thread isn't called "so astral chain is *my* goty", right?
That's pretty much what is meant though.you know this thread isn't called "so astral chain is *my* goty", right?
Chapter 8 is a drag, but 9 is nearly non-stop good shit.The game was exciting through the first 6 chapters or so and then really started to drag. I haven't touched it since.
I don't see it topping most lists, but it's a highly rated, well-received game. I can't foresee it being a complete no-show.I don't think we will see astral chain in many if any GOTY lists for content creators/outlets though.
Ignore the side-content as much as possible and beeline for the finish.I dunno about GOTY... it's been fun so far but there are a lot of things the game does that works against it
I'm on File 8 and this chapter fucking blows. There is no reason it should have been like this given how crazy 7 got
I'm at the end of 08 and right now and I don't get all the hate. JUST SKIP all the side missions it throws at you. Its fine.Ignore the side-content as much as possible and beeline for the finish.
If you thought 7 was crazy, I think 9 will be good for you.
Chapter 8 really fucking blows and I say this as someone who enjoys this game's side stuff.
I just find those side-missions to be some of the worst and the file has them front and center, so most players tend to engage with it and then get increasingly frustrated with stuff like box moving.I

All content you consider filler, which is true in the case of file 8, is optional.I didn't consider it GOTY material, but I thought it was pretty damn great and very entertaining until File 08. That chapter felt so bloated, frustrating and tiresome with all those stupid side tasks, dumb minigames and uninteresting filler gameplay parts that I put the game down and moved on to other games. I still would like to return to it as I've heard the final chapters are still very good but even the idea of returning to that part of the game annoys me. Maybe I'll just attempt to drill through it some day and get on with it.
Agreed. Its my GOTY.
