  • I’m really enjoying control, and the way that the side missions are leading you to get more abilities and whatever the hell the blue shards are.
    Currently more interested in the side missions than the main story, as you get to explore the different parts of the oldest house, find more loot and try your new abilities.
    The only time I’m heading to the main story mission is when it’s required to level up as I’m underpowered for the level of enemy I’m getting or because I’m stumped on a side mission and a quick google shows I need to finish that part of the main story to unlock a skill to finish the side mission.

    Was finding Spider-Man a bit of a grind with its open world ness, the cramped spaces (Relatively) of control makes for a more enjoyable experience. Not sure whether I’ll go back to Spider-Man now.

    Anyone else find side missions more enjoyable than the main story?

  • I get anxiety about finishing the main storyline and not being able to go back and do the side missions, or by the time I do a side mission I'm way past that point in the story and it's no longer relevant. But also like Festerban I often end up overpowered by the time I come to do the main story.

  • I find that I always feel like I’m playing games slightly out of order, because I get dragged into the side missions more than the main story.
    I’ve got no problem with being overpowered for boss battles because of it, feel like I deserve it for having completed so many other objectives. Also I don’t play games often enough (outside of our current situation) that I want to race through them, so side missions mean I get to enjoy it.

    Remember finding one of the dragon side quests in god of war really early once I’d got the lake and that made me happy even though I was nowhere near the level to be taking it on.. was fun though..

  • I do this or get kinda bored because I've spent far too long looking in every corner and don't bother finishing the main story.
