    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    I read somewhere on Redeit that the visuals are extremely sensitive to TV settings, which I'm inclined to believe since it's a muddy mess on my tv and I DON'T have a beastly pc pumping out visuals that make it look bad. It's probaby the worst-looking non-remaster I own on PS4.

    My assessment of the game grew by leaps and bounds at around hour 5. Can't attribute it to any one event - I guess I just got acclimated to the combat and cadence of gameplay. Continual annoyances are the camera, underwhelming talent system that's eclipsed by even budget rpgs like Tales, and...

    I mean I get not liking the game, but how in the world could this conceivably be a Persona knockoff?

    Wait until you get into a battle with two wildlife encounters and a dozen imperials in a forest with shrubbery 2-3 times the players' height that you can't walk through. The camera can't deal with it, and it's almost gotten me killed twice and required blowing too many items both times. Annoying...

    No Man's Sky

    That's a weird list. Some of the points expose monumental lies - I'd be super pissed if I bought the game under the assumption that it'd feature realistic planetary physics, asteroid landings, space battles, meaningful factions, etc. Others, like ringed planets, rivers, hacking doors, radio...

    Utterly worth full price. The more I play Lurkers always seem to claim these before anyone else. If you expect gratitude or rep, definitely PM them.

    WoFF was maybe the most pleasant gaming surprise ever for me. Hadn't even heard of it, picked it up on a whim, and got 50 hours beating it and the postgame and getting close to all 200 mirages

    Yeah, I just hit 9. 8-9 was a looooong time. Don't even wanna know how much more I have to go to make 10. On the plus side, I've made it 2/3 of the way to the west end of the map, done a lot of sidequests, and haven't used the car in ages. Still on chapter 3

    Yeah, wish there were more quests like that. Was a Witcher 3-style quest that had its own cinematics and story. Far, far more involved than go to point x and take a picture, go to point y and give some dude a potion, etc.

    Yeah, mine just hit 5 as well. Wonder how high it goes. 10?

    I still haven't found any equipment, but plenty of megalixirs and the like. And man, for anybody who hasn't unlocked chocobos yet, do so - they're not as fast as the car, but they're plenty fast and make treasure hunting much, much more pleasant. edit: Chapter 3, after unlocking gate to new area.

    Yeah honestly I'm still probably gonna use my PS4 more than my PC due to all the exclusives, but I look forward to playing a little WoW and XCOM and the like

    IIrc he bought a killer gaming rig and almost all multiplayer games are available on and better for PC. I'm doing the same in a month or two and I'll be making the same decision about PSN.

    Unlocked chocobos last night, so when I get out of the gym I'm gonna go treasure hunting in the first area for a bit. There's apparently some pretty good weapons you can get, but I got tired of the car only taking me halfway there.

    Read up on this a little, and as best anyone can tell, there isn't anything missable. If you wanna do all the quests, though, I definitely wouldn't save 'em all til the end. My one problem with this game is the quest flow is like WoW circa 2004 - random fetch quests, strewn about random places...

    About 25 min until I begin my walmart beer/caffeine/ff run. Fuck, I've missed this. (By which I mean overpowering excitement for a videogame release)

    Will toss you a request later (id balzmir) and while I hear there's some sort of co-op, I'll start out solo for sure. Still, be cool to see a bunch of RR bros playing this all night.

    I'm just gonna go to Walmart at midnight and snag a copy - took Tuesday and Wedmnesday off. Resisted the temptation to get excited for this for damn near a decade now, but impending release compounded by unexpectedly good reviews has transformed what began as mild anticipation into a level of...

    No Man's Sky

    I suspect they made enough off initial sales to do whatever the hell they want for quite a while. Not zure how much there is to be made, though, what with all the price drops and used copies available. I still intend to pick it up when I can find it for 10 bucks or so.

    Goddammit I just made my first serious attempt at a 140-difficulty fight ever and would have easily won - had I not accidentally equipped Beatrix with my un-honed Shell. Made it past the adds, burned Seymour down, burned Anima down, burned Seymour halfway down again and then he blew me up with...

    Sounds good. l My first DS2 playthrough was a pure STR build, but I didn't do the Dlc until I got the Scholar edition, and being a hexer put me in a world of hurt whe playing the first of the dlc's. I think I'd despawned a lot of the second area - as well as the mobs on the bridge that led to...

    Hmm, fair enough. Some of comments on otber forums suggested that it was considerably more difficult than Souls, which could I guess mean a number of things. But if it's considerably harder than, say, Dark Souls 2 DLC, it might be beyond my capabilities.

    Amazing, amazing response - thank you! Your Beatrix suggestion is exactly what I've been running and your omission of Lightning and Bartz confirmed my suspicion as to the lack of utility of their BSB's and your assessment of Vaan's BSB doesn't surprise me. Hell, the instant + elemental alone...

    Cautiously excited for this. I say cautiously for a few reasons. 1) Haven't cared for the dev team since NG1 2) I'm 31 now. My reflexes aren't what they were. I love a good challenge, but aside from Dark Souls, I don't really like overly difficult games. Dark Souls is probably my favorite...

    Been playing this casually for a year or so, but hot damn the game has been good to me the past two months. From two or three 11 pulls and two or three full lucky draws, I feel like I can maybe start taking this kinda seriously. Highlights: My BSB's (none until a couple months ago, then 4 in...

    Think I'm gonna keep it anyway. If I'm being honest with myself the skill that battlefield veterans doubtless possess when armed with kb+m would piss me the fuck off. Not a shooter guy at all, so it'll be fine on PS4. Overwatch'll be the only PC shooter I'll play.

    Biggest video game disappointment?

    Whoever said Borderlands 2... that's interesting. I honestly can't think of a sequel that improved more upon its original. In terms of presentation, gameplay, story, characters, content, I thought bl2 was superior.

    I just picked the three games I wanted and they all qualified - my assumption was that it worked with all standard-edition (ie, $60) games. And thanks atwa and Spronk - i'll try my luck at swapping bf1 out for something else.

    Biggest video game surprise?

    Games that, despite little fanfare -- or perhaps in spite of negative fanfare -- turned out really well, games that you considered overhyped that proved worthy of said hype, etc. I hope this serves as a complement to the disapointment thread. The very nature of this premise biases against the...

    THPS5 was more of an assumed heartbreak for me than a disappointment. I kinda had the feeling they were phoning it in, so I wasn't really disappointed when it turned out to be shit. But yeah, I can't think of another series I'd prefer to see reinvigorated. I don't even care for skateboarding -...
