I have the demo. I haven't played it yet.

Try it :D

This definitely sounds fun, except for the fact that it's open world... That really turns me off FAST, I never know what to do to progress the story...

Final Fantasy XIV is a large world with lots to see and do, but the main scenario is very easy to follow and that is all you really need to focus on. It is well paced, and if it you stick to it you will get the gear you need to keep up from the main scenario (MSQ) rewards. The is always a marker pointing
you where you need to go. You can play the game solo at your own pace, or team up with people. Don't be intimidated by its open world, just pick a starting job and stick to the main scenario and you might enjoy it. Its a very low pressure game and there are always new people doing the earlier content and people in towns keeping it lively.

Good luck!

Plus, every game I play I get stuck at a point that makes the game unplayable... Oh well, if anyone knows a highly accessible AAA title,
I'd be willing to check it out.

It's a little of the mark for some of the titles here, but I've been REALLY loving Hades. It's a rogue-lite hack and slash, with really good character voice-overs and a compelling storyline that goes on forever. I've been playing it at least once a week for the past 3 or 4 months.

I suck at combat games, and I'm colorblind, but neither of those seem to be an issue.

It also has an _incredible_ soundtrack. Just an overall well done game.

RS

... "Road work ahead" ... I sure hope it does!

I tried Hades. I died too often for my comfort (I want a game I can progress in regularly), so I got a refund.

I said I'd tried Hades; I was wrong. I'd played Hades 2 and it was too hard for me.

I love both. I can't wait for them to release an update for Hades II so I can keep going. It was actually a little *too* easy compared to Hades. Pretty much rocked everything I could, so yeah, just waiting for the content update at this point.

I haven't tried Hades 2 yet. I saw the preview trailers, and wasn't overly impressed. (Though I really do want to give it it's fair shot.)

I really love Hades. I can mash buttons and make it 10% further each time I try a run. It's frustrating as hell -- if you'll pardon the pun -- but the storyline and humor keeps me coming back for more.

It's earned a spot in my top 100 of all time. (I play a LOT of games.) LOL

... My life's an open book, but it's poorly written and I die in the end.

Ok, I found it for $12.50 on the MS Store, so I grabbed it.
