Then you get a random side quest to go to Liyue. i refused to fast-travel, because i wanted the ~vibes~, so i actually got really familiar with most of the (quite large) map. all the quests for the first 20-odd hours stay within the first big area, with the brilliant green vistas and fantasy town in a lot of the key art. The Last Of Us Part 2 wishes it was as good as The Lost World: Jurassic Park.Įntering Liyue for the first time in Genshin Impact was really really memorable to me. I didn’t like how he dissed The Lost World which is a far better sequel than people give it credit. I liked how all of Joel’s dinosaur knowledge came from Jurassic Park. I’m left wondering whether this was the point? Having said that, whilst the latter stages of that game sucks, I loved the flashback sequence in the museum. The Last Of Us 2: Part 2 parts of this game were problematic. Turns out he’s a gamer badass like you or me. I think they mishandled parts of the story and the lore surrounding Doom guy himself. I still love the bit in Doom Eternal, when you walk into the base above Mars and everyone just stops in their tracks as you walk on through. When the Jenovah Synths came in, I was so happy. The opening cinematic which is literally just the same as the original game but oh boy… still gave me goosebumps. So they took damage and it’s Torque’s fight to win. Torque reels in the other snake and, if I recall correctly, they got hoisted by their own petard as they didn’t have immunity to poison and had just landed in their own poison pool. We of course all know the trademark move of an XCOM Viper. I’m not gonna have her go shoot someone else. I’ve got a fiery young snake who’s already declared who she’s after next. “+2 HP.”Īnd you’d think that’d be enough of a moment but can you believe it, Torque was next in the turn order. Her “bring it” was then made absolutely perfect with her raring up as Torque’s aforementioned skill also made her heal in pools of poison. In this case, flaring her hood and hissing at the other Viper.

The immune tag popped up and she ran one of her got attacked animations. I had the resident snake cop (Torque, snake of the year?) in a Viper on Viper fight that started with the enemy snake spitting a pool of acid on her but wouldn’t you know, I picked the immunity to poison skill for Torque. I got one of those Austin Walker emergent storytelling where you have to fill in the gaps of character nuance and detail yourself moments.
