Nope. The stories are self contained with only minor things carrying over.

This game has platforming, light stealth, social sim elements (you can get a job, go to arcades, etc.) And a lot more. The combat gets hard later and you do have to use your brain, but its extremely well tutorialised. Plus the plot is great and it really doesnt shy away from themes such as abuse, depression and suicide.

 Honestly if ot keeps up the quality of the first 8 hours it might be my goty.

Yeah i had to takw pics if mune too since its such a gorgeous steelbook. Enjoy the game!

Oh thats awesome! My characters level 40 though now i think... are you playong on ps4?

Haha thanks. Mad Max is fun but it does get a bit repetitive after a while, and the story kinda sucks.

 Horizon on the other hand is pretty darn awesome. Fighting the machines can be tough, but really rewarding and a lot of fun. The story is weirdly compelling too, and it's a darn pretty game to boot.

I never played Halo 2's campaign. I only ever played the multiplayer. I really want to play it though...

Netflix has been the only movie streaming service that actually seems worth a damn. Most of the rest seem really poor quality unless you live next door to one of the servers. Thanks for the heads up though, I won't be getting any movies on ps4.

I didn't buy it. I'm steam sharing with a friend who bought it. I just want to try a bit more than the demo. I'm definitely going to buy it, probably for whatever console you buy it for. I just don't see the connection to Ys in terms of speed. It definitely reminds me of newer Ys games in that it's somewhat open and has a lot to do with collecting animal parts.

Buy a new PC ya Pleb :p

 No seriously, they're expensive as shit and can be quit stressful. Take your time.

 I don't really get any Ys vibes from this game. What weapon did you choose? I'm playing the full game now and it's pretty rad, but vastly different (and superior) to the original which I wasn't overly fond of. The original is just Monster Hunter with a bit faster combat, whereas this one has an open world and feels more fluid. Plus this one has more stuff built in for solo players whereas the original felt like it really pushed you towards multiplayer.

I'm guessing you haven't played Ys Seven or Memories of Celceta because they're quite a bit slower than VI, Oath in Felghana, or Origins. They're still really great games but MoC especially took a while to get my interest, so maybe VIII is the same?
 I've also played the demo for Toukidon 2 and somewhat like it. I like that it's less like monster hunter's regimented zones and more open ended. The combat especially is quite fun. If you end up buying it let me know which platform you get it on because I might grab it too. Seems like it would be a fun game to play with other people.

Also, have you heard of Dauntless? It's a free to play Monster Hunter clone that seems like it could be fun.

 Also, what is your favourite Ys game? Mine is definitely Origins, because I like how different the 3 playable characters are in both story and gameplay, with the third being the fastest and most satisfying in the entire series. My second favourite would be Oath in Felghana, followed by Seven, and then Idk what else.
