It's probably worth a go just to see if you like it as some people here enjoyed it. I've been crucified several times for saying this, but fwiw I think it's far, far worse than FF13.

Also the spiders can eat a dick. They scare the shit out of me in real life and they're significantly worse in Nioh. If spiders actually behaved as they do in this game life wouldn't be livable.

Right as I was wrapping up ng++++++ I found a buried menu that showed me my playtime. Was 397 hours, which has to be my record for a console game. Game has better combat than Souls but is slightly to significantly worse in every other respect. Weigh that how you will, but it was a singularly...

Hmm, those all sound great. Guess that pronouncement I made was borne of ignorance as I had no clue those were coming. I kinda stopped following 3DS releases a while ago. Cool to find out it's got some solid titles remaining.

Anybody else planning on grabbing the Radiant Historia remake next week? It'll probably be the final 3DS game purchase for me.

I loved 12 also. Main issue for me is it's got what has to be the worst OST of the mainline series. Nalbina dungeon, Cerobi Steppe, Eryut Village, Jahara are great - the rest is kinda shitty,

P5 vies with BotW for my favorite game of 2017 and is a GoAT candidate for me, but if you're like me and go crazy with fusions (as in, level 99 Jack Frost with endgame ice abilities and amps, for example) you'll find you're autoing every trash fight once you're past palace 5, and every palace...

Yeah I'm gonna give it a go after MHW after the effusions here. I have a Vita and a PC. I suspect you guys will tell me to go Steam, but is there a huge difference between versions? I'd rather sprawl out on the bed or the couch for a 200+ hour rpg franchise. For that reason I'llgrab the PS4...

NERD

I've honestly yet to play the Trails series. I hear they're best in class for worldbuilding, but there's a sizeable reddit contingent that thinks it's terribly overrated. I tend to prefer jrpg's that prioritize or at least value robust combat and crafting options - games like FF12, the better...

It's potentially the GOAT for me, blemishes and all. And it's got a lot of blemishes. The Divine Beasts, as mentioned, were pretty underwhelming, but it's the sidequests that really started to get to me. They're just terrible, circa-2004 WoW style quests (with a few notable exceptions) that...

That's s little too much clemency for me. You're mostly a General Forum guy, right? Ut pretty much exclusively haunts OG threads and ruins them with some regularity. At minimum I feel like he needs permanent threadbans from half a dozen topics, but I do feel like your logic is sound here.

Yes, but he's crazy, and he exhibited his craziness predictably and predictably publicly. That thread was spectacle, and an unnecessarily cruel one. A summary banning was all that was necessary. The expressed reason for banning (paycheck or ban, lololololol) was wholly illegitimate, which is...

He rendered a lot of quality threads virtually uninhabitable - I take issue not with the decision but the manner in which it was conducted. He was already courting a litany of bannable offenses, so why was it necessary to create a thread with an incendiary title, dedicate 30+ pages to winding...

He was a truly insufferable blight on some threads, but my admittedly unthorough reading of this thread suggests that his continued participation here was made contingent on proving that he wasn't a liar? That shit doesn't sit right at all.

Tales is actually a really frustrating series for me. Graces had the best gameplay and the best title system but everything else was patently ridiculous. Xillia 1/2 I remember being fine, but it's probably not a great thing that all I remember about them is reused assets. Zestiria was just a...

You'll only get 50 hours out of Zelda of you don't like it. My profile says "more than 165 hours" for Zelda - the game is seriously a masterpiece.Mario is fun enough, but I think it's kinda overrated. I'll probably go on to Xenoblade without finishing it.

I'll pick it up on Switch or PS4 for sure, but what I'm really hoping to hear about is a Demon's Souls remaster, because a technically sound (i.e., > 23 fps) version doesn't exist.

Glad to see Unreal Tourney getting so much love here. My mounting indifference to the FPS genre coincides perfectly with the decline of the arena shooter. I was nasty with the shock rifle (as was any good player) but my favorite weapon was the translocator, both for mobility and fragging.

Been playing this all week. I'm aware I'll ruffle a few feathers in saying this but, graphics aside, I think this is superior to Horizon. Not sure why they're so frequently compared here, though - HZD is narrative-oriented, whereas Zelda's a sandbox, though I guess they're both games Ubisoft...

We got an Ipad for my 91 year old grandmother as she's recently widowed and a few states away from most of the family. We're not going to bother explaining that the device has any capabilities beyond email retrieval and facebooking - we're just hoping it'll help with the loneliness. Anyway...

Merry christmas, all.

Calling it now: Battlefront 2: "...Game of the Year Edition"

I think pretty much everybody is expecting a Zelda sweep. And it's a fucking masterpiece so I won't say it doesn't deserve it, but this is a really shitty year for a series with the critical gravitas of Zelda to release such a stellar entry, because there's half a dozen games released in 2017...

I think and hope we're in for a leaner, meaner FF16. Seeing Atlus manage what they did - which is to day virtually unanimously win over critics, fans and even genre neophytes alike, and with a budget that was probably less than 10% of FFXV's - can't have been a pleasant experience for a team...

Fair enough. I'm not the type of FF fan that transforms into a rabid chocobo and starts warbling unintelligibly when somebody impugns my FF quality hierarchy, but I will say that I booted up FF13 after finishing 15 just to confirm my suspicion that I hated 15 more, which I did indeed find to be...

Thanks for making this thread as the jrpg is my favorite genre as well. And I'm honestly just ecstatic about 2017's sustained release of quality titles, and I'll single out the PS4 as having a particularly stellar year that began with Berseria, then followed it up with Nier, P5 (a top 5 GoAT for...

Wow, thread has grown 15 pages since I last visited. This game must be amazing!

I mean there's an adjective somewhere that desribes this thread, so you're not entirely wrong

My favorite part of CoD over the last few years has definitely been the shareholder announcements that go something like, "Well, owing to the novel direction [the future!!!!!!!! for IW] the dev team took, sales were more sluggish than anticipated."

Game's metacritic is too shitty to warrant its own thread imo
