listening to the me:a ost for work and tbh it is incredible how much me:a is an improvement on the 'bioware open world game' formula. like i still think its weaker but in comparison to da:i, me:a is infinitely more playable and feels more full of an actual soul.

Like. I have 100%-ed both games. I will NEVER 100% da:i again, and honestly im not sure if i would even *play* it again. meanwhile i, 1000%, would replay me:a, and i could even see myself doing everything in it again. The grind isnt unbearable, gives you time to hear other party convos, and lots of the sidequests have memorable characters and concepts

#Shitpost #dai is such a dead soulless game that playing it feels like inviting weeds to grow inside me #so much in that game ends in a body and just stupid text #Its. Really really terrible on a world gameplay aspect #Such a just. Personally harmful game to me really just because its so cynically devoid #A good microcosm is how like every quest in dai leads to really nothing of consequence vs #In mea one of the most interesting and personal story moments is tied *into* the gameplay #The random exploring of points unlocks your fathers memory #which is something so personal and it also makes sense since you literally took his place and like #Literally are becoming an expert at what he was an expert in etc #and you unlock the MOST MEANINGFUL MEMORIES possible and theyre ALL rewarding #actual CUTSCENES of the family and of SAM too #and you learn so much #mea has some intrigue that was meant to lead to a sequel that seems like itll never come #Its so annoying because mea was hated and flamed for arbitrary incorrect reasons #fucking gamerbros i hate you #Anyways. The intrigue in mea wasnt the only interesting things that happened unlike dai #they were interesting little snippets but the true core was already there #Finding the other pathfinders is a good exame of meaningful choices offered. Alongside the dad focused quests i mentioned earlier #just idk parts of mea were a little too grindy and so theres some of the threadbare irritation #but it has so much more than dai did
