Re: Gears Freak
The game is very laggy for everyone, and you can only fix that via the options menu. As for status effects, it's not as bad as you think it is, and yeah the controls are very complex and convoluted, but once you get used to them they are manageable. The way the controls are set up, it'd probably be better to play this with a controller. It used to be worse with not knowing where you were going, as there never used to be any markers that helped say "hey go here to proceed".
As for the h scenes, that can be a bit problematic. You see, the VR guy has multiple scenes that're only unlocked as you defeat bosses, and the stuff you see in combat are more or less groping, no penetration from them until after you completed the game. Also, there are a few scenes you can get in the town area to the right of the market by destroying your clothes (there are plants all around this area that destroy certain parts if you walk over them), try finding all those plants and then talking to the people in that area (including the guy who's taking care of business, and he has a hidden scene. Hint: try talking to him from different areas). Most of the h scenes are after you complete the game, so don't bother experimenting with the new monsters you see, just speed run through ASAP, I don't think there're any missables.
