What's the verdict on Final Fantasy XV?

It's shit, now post Cidney

Cup Noodles™/10

Its not terrible but its pretty weak in many areas

Square is never fucked as long as they make a new dragon quest game

Boyband Fantasy 15 year old girl is pretty good actually I am enjoying it.

It's actually really fun. Holla Forums hates fun though, so of course it will be widely considered shit.

...

notworth$60/10

People hate it for 1-button gameplay. I am highly divded on it (and yes i bought it). On one side it does have 1 button gameplay, the driving is a joke and will get fast, and the story is told in an extremely shit way, ala MGS V.

On the other side, there CAN be some highlevel combat if you stop thinking about button mashing and start to give out commands (wait mode helps), and some moments of the game are damnright… cute. Like when the glasses faggot thinks what to cook, or banter dialogue.

It's not a shit bad game. It's just flawed and follows the same openworld bullshit that every other openworld game does.

needs more Shiva.

When will it be out for PC?

I wanted Kingdom Hearts: Edgy Edition

But it's fine, if other people like it, that's OK. I'll just wait for KH3.

Probably. They need to make some money on this garbage.

...

I think I heard that they've already announced a PC port to be released around a year from now.

Steam's a thing for a reason. There are very few people who know how to use a computer for anything other than youtube and facebook. The majority of people think of mounting an ISO as some kind of specialist hacking. The real question is why games are "Jap shit that needs to stay off my system" until they get a PC port, at which point there's a general up for the game/series at all times (see: Neptunia).

I'm almost 20 hours in and it's barely started. You're delusional.

It was not worth the 10-year wait.

It's not great, but it's not awful. It's okay.

I really they didn't all look like faggots. I mean switching over to Casual Outfits (No Jacket) helps but still. I also wish they didn't have a giant douche car, hey assholes you're in hiding stop driving a car that's 100+ years more advanced than the average car. I wish it wasn't set in modern day come to think about it. Also you still can't buy chocobo's you have to rent them. What's up with them not letting you buy chocobo's in FF games?

I guess thats why eveybody is making ports for it, right?
Besides the exclusives by third party devs with no support whatsoever.

that doesn't sound like a good thing

...

The same way FFXIII took 40 hours to begin?

What's your point?
Holla Forums is nothing if not a jury for vidya.

Kind of, yeah.

Those mouth animations at the end are terrible.

I like to appraise games as worth their money if I get an hour of distraction from this bitter hellhole called reality per $3's spent on it.

Juries usually have to come to a unanimous agreement to pass judgement, or a supermajority at least. Holla Forums never does that. Holla Forums would be a nullified jury because of this.

Still shares the goal of a jury, which is to form a judgement beyond a reasonable doubt using the facts, and when has Holla Forums not at least been judgmental?

Rushed
Cut content
Nice combat
Shit

The fact that it exists means that someone will rip Cidney's model and we will eventually get her fingerbanging Sarah, Clem, and Sunny. So that at least justifies its existence.
However nothing justifies paying for this shit game. If for any reason you must play it, get it second hand in 6 months or so. Don't give Square anything for this travesty.

shit everything else *

This is just stupid

I don't know about the game but these Cup Noodles(tm) sure are great. MMMM Cup Noodles(tm) get some in you.

And all of our opinions are personal and subjective, and we're also not trying to be unanimous about our decisions which is the goal of a jury. Also being judgemental doesn't equal someone who's on jury, very different degrees and purposes. This is a fucking stupid comparison.

In the case of Monster Hunter. Seriously, I don't know how people can ignore the game breaking flaws in that series like the stiff combat (having weight to animations for heavy weapons and having stiff combat are two extremely different things), completely fucked hit boxes on enemies, and the worst camera in the history of video games (though at least this one isn't as much of a problem on systems with two joysticks). They completely overlook these things when they were such huge issues that they turned me off on the series. The simple fact is that Holla Forums has some sacred cows whose massive flaws will be ignored when any other game with the same flaws would be torn to shreds, and Monster Hunter is a textbook case of this.

...

Holla Forums tears games to shreds that aren't fun. MonHu is fun.

Don't do that.

There's nothing puzzling about it, you know why and so do they.

Opinions are not the input of the judicial process though, they are the output.
In juries, as on Holla Forums, the facts come in and the opinions of the jury come out in the form of the case's resolution.

It's gay.

shameful

Thanks for proving my point. Try saying a game Holla Forums hates is fun. You'll get a thousand responses about how fun is a buzzword meant to deflect criticism of legitimate flaws in the game. Somehow, this magically doesn't apply to Monster Hunter.

all I was hoping for the whole time was that he'd pick 'meat'
gay bromance XV confimed

You mean those outsourced-to-china-for-a-bowl-of-rice ports that you always cry about being unoptimized pieces of shit with denuvo made as a cash grab for people who don't know better than to suck Gaben's cock? The ones that in the end get pulled ala Batman?

Yeah, I know those. Can't stop laughing about it

Really depends on how you post comes off and WHY Holla Forums hates the game. If you say "I had fun" or "I enjoyed it despite x, y, and z flaws" you will typically get normal responses. Some will agree with you, some will disagree, one or two autists will sperg out etc. But if you roll in and proclaim a contentiously regarded game is awesome and all of Holla Forums is a bunch of contrarian queers, then yeah they'll tear into it.
More importantly many of Holla Forumss most hated games are hated for reason beyond simply the published game itself.

It's not as bad as XIII. It's still bad.

Yeah they are. Their opinions derived from the evidence and testimonies delivered to the case they're assigned to Juror over. Evidence is not always absolute and is always subject to conjecture. Again, this is a stupid fucking comparison.

Is this a joke in Japanese culture? I've seen Cup Noodle in other jappo products recently (Dragon Ball Super comes to mind) portrayed as this larger than life shit and I can't tell if it's some sort of advertisement campaign by Cup Noodle, if Cup Noodle is culturally important to the jappos, or if it's some sort of giant sarcastic joke by the jappos.

I don't understand the jappo enough to make a decision, some weebfag needs to explain this to me, but I can't imagine Cup Noodle has this much financial sway to buy it's way into all this shit.

Holy shit, that gave me cancer. Ads in a $60 game

Yeah they fucking did, but this shilling is even more blatant than usuall. FF had some commercial tie-ins from time to time, like having Sony phones or the characters being starred in a Luis Vuitton ad. But this is just digusting.

And no, cup noodles is not that big of a culture thing.

The jews fear the samurai because the samurai is the superior jew it seems.

Creating some new salt mines FFfag?

Don't ever look into Crazy Taxi, you'll have a heart attack.

MGSV, FF8 and Dragon Age origins had a baby, fun open world game but story is barely there and while its 80+ hours to 100% the main story is 12 or less.
So better than 13, less of a mess than 12 but its another 8, okay but the flaws will be remembered

How is that cat going to prepare that meal?

Obviously Wojak is cooking the meal. He is just waiting for the timer to go off.

The same as always. With homosexual parasites.

...

How the hell did Square think they could get away with this? I could see this being acceptable in 2007 as an earlier PS3 game, but consumers aren't fucking stupid enough to fall for this, are they?

Fucking how? From my observations, blocking and parrying are literally done through QTEs under specific circumstances. You know how action RPGs like Souls make you read the enemy's movements and you have to time your parries? In this game, all you do is wait for the button prompt to show on the screen. That's it.
What else is there to the combat? Run around behind an enemy's back for extra damage, and i-frames while using healing items? Hell, even if your HP reaches 0, you can still use a Potion to get back up, and EVEN if that bar depletes, you can still use a Phoenix Down to revive yourself, all without the help of other teammates. That's already two safety nets before you finally get a Game Over, so you can essentially get stuck on this immortal loop as long as you've stocked up on healing items.

Even TamTam's DmC combat system is light years ahead of this garbage.

I've always wondered if this is just a closeup of the house or if the house is meant to be partially underground.

Play it yourself and make up your own mind.

Revolutionary I know.

Why would you post that image while telling people to buy a game rather than ask if it's any good first?

Fetch quests interspersed with driving cutscenes.

I can't wait for Square to go bankrupt.

Okay.

Combat is the highlight if it's your thing, music can be enjoyable. Story is a joke and graphics, while always the focal point of modern vidya, can be surprisingly poor.

Still FF in name only, and faggy fujobait jam-packed into an overpriced disc.

Sadly, the successful numbers thus far will continue to positively reinforce the gooks at SE to continue churning out this bloated crap.

If you just don't buy it first hand. This is incredibly important! Square must not be rewarded for its fuckery.

This is my biggest complaint, can only imagine what easy mode is like. FF combat has always started simple though and gotten gradually more complicated and difficult so I'm withholding final judgment till I get farther.

Oh yeah I forgot you can't pirate this.

Play the demo? Watch some YouTube vids? Never let public consensus override your own ability to think.

hold up, weren't the ads taken out of the console versions?

It's a flagrant "meh" plus product placement.

It's a lot of fun if drunk and/or high.

Pic mostly related.

Uh, it can still be extremely rushed if the dev team spends 9 years playing Counter Strike (or whatever) for "research" and finally gets a kick up the ass from their publisher in the last 8 months to finish up their own game.

I pity people who waited 10 years for this. But at least the camping is comfy.

It's terrible, doesn't give any sense of what the play is actually like. Unlocks some stuff in the game but otherwise no reason to try it.

...

...

Not in the dreamcast version atleast

In DNF's case, it seems to be total incompetence from management. I heard of a level designer who was told, "do a level that is like this and this", so he spends a long time creating and polishing it, and then he's told, "that's wrong, it should be [something completely different from the previous request], do it all again". Now imagine a decade of this bullshit.

The producer/director/whatever was basically a giant faggot who binge played FPS games and came to the team every week saying WE NEED TO COPY THIS GAME. OKAY NEVERMIND COPY THIS GAME. NO, NO, THIS ONE. JUST LIKE IT.

...

If I take off the lid, will they die?

Yeah, the same ones that still perform and play better than consoles and are overall better optimized than your shitty Sonygaf nitpicks seem to make.
Besides the fact that they can be cracked and shared.
Keep paying for all your games and online play though goy

It would be extremely hotheaded.

You're a big cup.

For you.

There are acceptable ways to do ads in games. Any racing game with billboards by the road. Real lighters and watches on Shenmue. The real locations in Crazy Taxi. Even those grinding shoes in Sonic Adventure 2. Those are all fine, because the ads make sense in the context.

But this? Here's a fantasy world with magic and monsters and whatever, that just happens to have Cup fuckin Noodles. No, what the hell, that's just ridiculous.

I saw a screenshot with an American Express ad. Dunno if it was a shop or not though.

Seems to be real. This makes even less sense than Cup Noodles.
archive.is/tCjNt

Don't forget that the characters also hold a lengthy conversation about how much they love Cup Noodles, and that there's an entire quest centered around buying then preparing fucking Cup Noodles.
If you remember that scene from the Truman Show where his wife's making breakfast and shills the pancake mix or whatever, this is bullshit of that tier.

Well, even if you ignore that exploit, and impose specific challenges on yourself (I guess one could argue Holy Waters can also be abused in DMC games, so to some extent that logic still applies even to better games), XV still suffers from many fundamental issues that prevent the combat from being salvageable.
Controls are simplistic as hell, camera is terrible, hitboxes can be wonky as shit, feedback and hit reaction is underwhelming, and control over your teammates is pretty limited, so their actions are mostly left to the mercy of questionable AI (God knows a game like this could benefit from a Gambit-like system from FF12), and generally lacks depth.

Other than the music, and good animations (which even then, I find them too long and over-designed and could actually hurt the gameplay), there simply aren't many redeeming factors to the combat of this game.

I kinda want some fried rice and hibachi steak now.

MUH IMMERSHUN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

haha this is so crap.

Anyone got the vid of someone playing it with one hand?

I'm trying to convince my friend not to buy it

Does this mean America exists in FF15's world?

THE ULTIMATE FLAVOR EXPERIENCE

Yes.

It dies like everyone else.

Vidya is fucking dead.

...

ya fucked up

...

...

To be fair it's an Urban Fantasy setting this time, not the typical Medieval Fantasy. I can understand instant noodles in a cup in a world where the civilization level is similar to our own, hell even more if it's a world where supply lines are constantly under monster attack so long-lasting food would be more prevalent.

But wit that said, the way they handled is so on the nose it might as well be printed on a jew schnoz.

That should read "and I want to turn a Cup Noodle into a onahole" user, but good effort.

didn't everyone say the same thing about Nu Male's Sky? :^)

We should call cup noodle and say we're fucking triggered because their quest in ff15 literally raped us with game overs.

I'd say it's ok and possibly of relative comfy.

The combat isn't amazing in anyway, but the warp strike thing is enjoyable, and there's plenty of stuff to dick around with like fishing or hunts.

Not anyone here.

I mean the "20 hours in and nothing happens" part

He never said nothing happens though.

How is the "Localization" for this game other than the shit voice acting? Any censorship in the western version?

I think there was a thing about some interaction with some girl you go on a date with or something.

It was like noctis comments on something and in Japanese she agrees but in English she says the comment was a tad sexist or something.

I like the fat guy.

Then the ad did its job

"You should be thanking them. This is their of way of trying to motivate you out of misery"
Nice.

I capped a screenshot for an user that used that picture for a request in the santa hat thread. I was wondering where it came from. I guess devs still have not learned to not make fun of your fanbase.

So 10-20 years from now anons will be praising XV as an underrated gem in the FF franchise.

I never understood the point of banning somebody when it's easy as hell to evade your ban.

It's okay. If you're going to buy it, wait until the game is on sale before buying, and beware of shills saying it's flawless and entitled manchildren should just buy it instead of criticizing it so much.

I like the car. Reminds me of the Cadillac concepts. Basically a modern day land yatches. Any other game that has a similar car?

Wasn't the car specially made to advertise the game?

...

Wasn't your ass specially made to advertise that you're a slut?

The design was just inspired by Caddy.

...

What? No.

Fuck yes. I'd like it to be.

They clearly wanna show that they are mad.

What did he mean by this?
No seriously… I'm fucking confused.

Hot

Wet

Bara

Analingus

His cup noodles is a filthy slut.

Every new thing I find out about this game makes me hate it more.

user those are edits.

No way in hell this is real

...

Wait until you see the final bossfight.
seven quicktime events
in a row

I'm triggered by that tier list in the gamefaqs picture tbh

I didn't know Sauron was in this game.

Sauron was only like 3 QTEs. This is more than double Sauron.

...

Thank god. Sanity prevails.

There is barely any gameplay at all. It's just one big long cutscene.

All I remember about The After Years is that the plot was a huge retread of fucking everything in FF4 and there was a disgusting amount of grinding.

Made a compilation. And before anyone bitches about it being jpg and not png, trying to run a save-for-web as a png made photoshop shit itself repeatedly.

Get it together.

Did you really think a T-rated game would outright talk about onaholes and scissoring? At best it would probably just skate around the notion. Plus, it's not like Final Fantasy has the benefit of refuge in obscurity, the way the Shadow Hearts series did, and could get away with all sorts of shit.

Gayer than the Yuru Yuris.

Yuri is the good kind of gay though, unlike this.

Its the checklist shallow Open World MMO but done directly by Square.
Its mediocre at best, might entertain for a few hours before you realize through repetition that is inevitable with most games, that the main mechanics of the game can't sustain it past the novelty of it even if it throws new shitty gimmicks at it.

That description fits FF12 to a t, yet people like that one.

I still don't get how people love that game.

At least that had Fran and Panelo though

I don't

PNGs are for vectors and shit with limited colors

But will it really make them bankrupt? Last I heard, it sold pretty well (like 5 million copies sadly).

Not even SoCal hipster, sjw-numale-cucks talk like this. Not even Trashy rednecks or Hoodrats talk like this. Ever.

True, but I've seen some people still bitch about not using pngs anyhow due to jpgs being lossy in comparison, if you want to keep something looking good for the future. Just figured I'd mention it up there pre-emptively in case someone did.

What really surprises me is that merely trying to generate a PNG of it made photoshop shit itself, like it didn't want anything to do with making a lossless form of noodle related cancer.

FF12 is a game that still gets me mad when I think about it. If it had been in the hands of a more competent developer it could have been an amazing game. As it stands it is merely mediocre at best, infuriating at worst.

Surprisingly not terrible.

But unsurprisingly not great, either.

WHAT?

If this is true, I'll send a thousand copied letters to SQHQ.

...

It shipped five million copies. It didn't sell five million

...

I dislike FF12 as well

He never said it gets good 20 hours in though.

Fuck off back to SA.

6/10
it feels combat stopped after the idea of it being like Kingdom hearts
its slow and clunky but I have found that wait mode improves it a lot
I like the openess of the world but its so empty like Fallout NV and the good quests are few most just being fetch quests

characters are good for a final fantasy Ive not disliked any of them and there is the corny FF charm in places like the ramen vendor quest

To be fair I don't dislike it but I'm indifferent towards it

It's the same argument
You first

Except he said that the game was worth $60, and also
If a game is worth its purchasing price, that means it's good. Or do you want to pay full price for a shit game?

Same was true of Witcher 3: non challenging and repetitive but there was a lot of it. Like a huge tub of macaroni salad.

Mark you damn well know inviting this reddit and 4chan scum to come here was a mistake. Start sending them back you fucking jew.

So? What does that have to do with that other retard misreading what he said here?

Nice selective reading, faglord.

It is good, I just tend to play games auristically finishing as many sidequests as possible before advancing the game. Barely scratched the surface of the ascension techniques but can tell once I do the combat is going to get more varied and intricate.

sitting in a thread all day trying to shit it up is far more pathetic than people who buy video games you dont like

It really is the same argument. You calling other people retard like a projectionist faggot doesn't change that

I didn't say that, butthole. Also I've been here for 2 years
Just. Like. You.

There's several things that 12 has going for it over 15. For one 12 is an actual fantasy game for one. The setting is really interesting and there a good variety of environments. The enemy design is a good balance of realistic and RPG. Mark hunting and trophy hunting lets you pretend that you're sort of playing Monster Hunter. Bunny girls. Cute moogles. Good villains and story. You get to remove Urutan. Takes place in Ivalice. 5 of the 6 party members are nice and Vaan still isn't as bad as Tidus. The ADB combat system is actually just ATB but with running around so it basically a classic JRPG with a pseudo ARPG GUI. The dungeons are interesting and have nice hidden areas and puzzles. I want to fuck a Viera. The game doesn't involve 4 fags pushing a car through a desert. Boss battles are actual battles and not QTEs. The gambit system is actually rather useful. Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Good variety of weapons and weapon types. I like the turtles. Most importantly it has some of that old JRPG feeling.
The long and the short of it is there's a lot of good in that game that out weighs the mediocre for a lot of anons.

That's really hard to read mate.

user, what does his opinion about the value of the game have to do with me correcting someone else about what he said about the games state 20 hours in?

What?

I fucking ask you what?

It's… okay. It's got it's fair share of flaws, especially with the monster glitches that cause demons to spawn during day time. Fuck that one in particular.

No it's not user, one means there's at least 20 hours of stuff in there to do and the other one means that it only starts to get good after 20 hours. Those mean two vastly different things.

I never said you did, you utter fat faggot. This guy, the guy I was talking to before you jumped in, said that

Fucking reading comprehension user.

That's how I saw it, a genuinely mixed game. And that's fine.

The amount of anons falling for this is just sad.
Or am I missing that they are being ironic?

You have to go back

I would have formatted it differently but I didn't want to be accused of being from reddit.

Too late

Considering that most games don't demand 20 hours for you to even get past the starter area, I'd say that taking 20 hours to even get started is a fucking strike against the game.

Didn't you hear user? That is a nasty symbol of hatred/racism/sexism and doesn't belong on facebook.

He was replying to me, anus. Again, I tend to play games slow but 20 hours in and the whole "regain your throne" storyline only now is kicking in. Biggest gripe is strategy and challenge isn't an issue unless an enemy is at least 5 levels above you. Highly suspect this is going to change later on but even if it doesn't I don't regret the purchase even a little.

No it doesn't. 'I'm almost 20 hours in and it's barely started' implies it's worth playing 20 hours worth of this shit just to get a hint of the good parts. It is exactly the same as saying 'It gets better 20 hours in'

It doesn't take you 20 hours to get past the starting areas/get started. If you're so incompetent that it took you that long to get out of the tutorial and first area then you are a journalist for polygon congrats.

Hitting enter once breaks your text but doesn't add empty line.
Like this.

He's been reclaimed. If you post Pepe now, you're a white nationalist.

Let me fucking spoon feed it to you since you're too retarded to understand
Jesus fucking christ.

Maybe he's pic related.

Its still being cuntpasted by normalfags everywhere.
Keep it in Holla Forums nigger

I think Holla Forums is now so full of kneejerk reactors that I wouldn't be surprised that they are genuinely mad at a weeaboo memester edit, thinking Square actually put it in the final product.

Outside Tumblr?
Outside the US?
Nope

Given FF Type-Tumblr I wouldn't be surprised if Squeenix actually did put it in the final product

Only 2 retards fell for it
Talk about knee jerk reaction

So, not empty at all, then?

...

u r dum

But it is?

Thank you for proving my point so efficiently.

By that logic skyrim isn't empty at all.

It isn't. You can't throw a rock without hitting a location, town, dungeon, mob, or something of interest. It's all boring as fuck, but that's not the same thing. Stop being retarded, please.

No u.

Better then 13, Iris really should become a permanent member though.

I think it seemed more interesting plot-wise when it was Versus too, particularly with the whole Stella-Luna change.

It is insanely easy to get overleveled between Experience Level.99 cast (Coins are fucking everywhere) and Galdin Quay(Available early, unlike Altissa just making it more practical) and even overeleveled monsters are easy to beat with something like Quintcast and you can get weapons intended for the level 50 range for like 10.000 gil a piece at Meldacio HQ really early so that handles the equipment side.

Driving didn't really bother me and honestly i liked the system better then then "standard" warping that plagues MANY open world games that end up making the world feel smaller (Where once you get to a place you NEVER have to walk there again), could done with a more diverse Soundtrack for the car though, i like the old FF soundtracks and all, but they tend to stick out badly compared to the original songs.

Summoning is really erratic and the did away with the limitations they said would be there when they were announced, i summoned Ramuh in a dungeon (Not as overpowered as one would think since dungeon monsters don't spawn until you are near), but im yet to summon Titan even ONCE, They are supposed to bail you out if a fight is taking too long or you have taken too much damage, but i had the summon prompt pop up within 10 seconds of fight where i hasn't even been hit yet, with both enemies above, the same and below my level.

Oh and they never explain you need to hold the button for ~10 seconds without being hit.

Gladious is the best Party member, does good damage and got the best "Hobby" because more items (he can pick up Vendor trash too, like coins, not only Restoratives), that Camping AP might be useless, but the "Chance for Double item" once is well worth the investment.

Prompto is the worst, since aside from the useless Camera skill, his weapon types are both rare and weak, meaning he will lag behind for a LONG time, oh and his "Take picture in combat for AP" skill is deceptive and really not worth it once you realize that Noctis gets AP just by making the final blow a Warp Strike.

I never want to hear about l'Cie again.

When's Final Fantasy XII HD for PC coming out?

...

So how many were sold?

This…is a joke…right?

To be fair, most of the CIE shit can just be cut and replaced with normal words, hell that's basically what they did for 15 already (PROTIP: Lucii = L'Cie, No escape from the shitty terminology for you), the actual mythology isn't too bad aside form, it i the words with CIE CIE CIE CIE CIE that is.

A Major problem with the plot of 15 is similar to 12 too in that many major development happen without the main characters even being near them OR you getting to see them in a cutscene, made worse by the pre-release shit trying to hype up non-entities like Glauca, Stellas Brother and the MagiTek guy, only for it to amount to effectively nothing.

There is also the very blatant "DLC EPISODE GOES HERE" stuff that sticks out like a sore thumb.

2017. the lack of info beyond that makes me think Fall or Winter.

cupnoodle.jp/cupnoodle15/
I think reality might be a joke. I mean the whole "Simulation Hypothesis" is looking more and more likely at this point.

wat

...

Just finished a legitimately hard battle and starting to see where this is going. The whole "one button" thing finally answers a previous question I had about wait mode being optional: it's because the game is catering to newfags and slowly, slowly spoonfeeding them the mechanics. Turn based isn't necessary at first because you're just either hitting enemies or defending from them, but once you start delegating moves to your team, using equipment etc it (slowly) becomes necessary. Just used a shield for the first time and can see now how weapon swapping is going to come into play, especially with gear having specific mod effects. It's actually an 8 button combat system
Between this and the link/aerial attacks + QTEs combat is going to be complicated af soon. Scratch that one off the complaint list.

...

wow….

...

Nothing to do with spacing faggot. You're listing things as many individual short sentences instead of listing them in several longer sentences with commas dispersed throughout. Your typing makes it feel like someone with ADHD is speaking really quickly.

Actually decided to watch that. It's like they wanted to do that "timed dialogue choice" thing Tales of Xillia 2 did, except instead of reserving the timed ones for important scenes (skits had untimed ones that were generally just for humorous responses that added relationship points depending on the answer), they're doing so over fucking mundane shit. Or is that the entire fucking joke?

Do they all share pepe's bed?

I'm pretty sure PC is most profitable, they don't spend time porting or distributing to places like Gamestop, Walmart, Best Buy, etc…

All the most profitable games are PC after all Hearthstone, LoL, Dota, WoW, etc…

Holy fuck.

...

Nah it's definitely mobile.

All this proves is that the nips have a sense of humor

...

I dunno, I'd say it's a tie. LoL is definitely the most profitable game, it has like what 30 million unique players a month with probably half of them buying RPs and characters each month. WoW alone has made over 10 billion in profits since its inception, that's 1 billion a fucking year for a video game

Twelve is also really well written.

12 suffers HP bloat because it is designed around MMO principles rather than iterative battles one like previous FF. Other than that, you are completely correct.

Maruchan is better.

Dragon Quest combined with Squares random side games can't possibly support the bloated mess that is FF today.

Jesus christ, you guys side can't die soon enough.

Boyband Simulator XV

NICE

I take it you're not familiar with monster hunter threads then.

I'm disappointed with this thread's considerable lack of Cidney/Cindy

Even if this was the best game in history, this kind of thing is unforgivable. Everyone who says it's "fun" confirmed for massive anal faggot.

I want to eat her up just like my cup noodles

This is real by the way, every gas station shop that has an inside I've seen has that sticker near the front door.

There's surprisingly not a lot of Cidney lewds, ever a while after she was announced Holla Forums drawfags made some of the first lewds

Goddamn that voice acting sucks. Prompto sounds like some numale faggot.

can you get out of the car and kill the drug dealing nigger?

That's not what he said, you illiterate.

What the flying fuck. I've seen these a lot on TV recently as well, and considering I dont even watch it that much, just see it in the background at restaurants, this can't just be coincidence.
They must be making some great big fucking push for whatever reason

No. Cup Noodle is a playable character in Final Fantasy XV, central to the story arc.

Yes

Don't you know user? Wanting a king back at the head of your country is as bad as being a nazi now

No, it's much stupider.

It shows how weebs are completely out of touch with the land of the rising sun. This is done in almost every anime and movies without subtlety. Most of the guys here just ignore the blatant ads.

Guess England, Spain, and Belgium did a big mistake then

If there's no power involved, it's not really a part of the government, no matter how hard they pretend otherwise for the sake of tradition.

...

The Queen last dissolved the Canadian parliament five years ago. They still have procedural authority.

Then Canada has a retarded government.

Is the car driving fun? Can you drift? That's all I want from this game.

Pros
- good setting combining modern day with fantasy
- Cindy
- Can sometimes look great thanks to some amazing views

Cons
- Pre-Order content locked and Season Pass/DLC crap
- one button combat
- QTE's everywhere including me fishing minigame which is just QTE disguised as gameplay
- QTE Bosses that further invalidate the piss poor gameplay
- shitty writing and story
- boy band with 0 charisma
- extremely easy even for a FF game
- disjointed cut-scenes like MGS V
- False Freedom like Witcher 3

FFXV get's a 4/10 from me, if you have low standards and think Witcher 3 was fantastic you will probably love this. The One button combat reminds me of Secret of Mana, which had a one button combat and evasion/guard was automatic but still manage do a lot with it.

it sure does

It can be buried in snow too.

You don't really drive the car. You set a destination and it follows a set path. You can only decide when to start and stop it. If you want to free-roam, you have to do so on foot or on a chocobo.

Wojack and Pepe share the bed, gondola sleeps upright like a horse and spurdo stays awake on the power of cheap imported energy drinks.

Why would you make an open world game and give players a car but not allow fun with the car?
They've completely missed the point of giving players a sandbox 'open world'.

10 years in the making for this.

i'm so disappointed tbh. summoning was the last straw for me. all that potential but it's fucking wasted.

I think the purpose of the car is to basically be a way of implementing fast travel without simply teleporting you to your destination, so you get a sense of the world's scale and can look at the environments. Your party also talks a lot during those car trips.

...

oh wow

I'd eat her Cup Noodle

ONE BUTTON COMBAT
It's the best game since 12 but that's saying absolutely nothing in its favor aside from "squint really hard and you might have fun".
I liked it but I like Samurai Warriors 4 WAY more

Once you realize it's not a JRPG but an Action game, your standards for the story and the combat go way down.

There are no - I mean, factually, NO - action games aside from Devil May Cry (and maybe Bayonetta) that have actually depth to their combat. Otherwise it's just one-button mashing. You know this is true.

Nioh will fix this

I hated the Platinum demo, so let's see how this thread goes.

Cool, it's bad! Thanks, contrarianfag.

I'd noodle her edible cup.

You sound like you have extremely little experience with action games or can't be bothered to do the searching for good ones outside of the most commonly mentioned names, and are talking out of your ass.

Nah I play a lot of action games too and I agree with him. Off the top of my head, games that aren't just button mashers:

There are games like Vanquish, MGR, Viewtiful Joe, Prototype, etc. But let's not kid ourselves here. Those games are mashers.

Easy mode detected, he is only available in easy mode. Try one button fight on a equal level hunt on normal mode.

Game has good up till chapter 7 when the story scenes became disjointed. It seems like they just didn't finish the cut-scenes and just used text on the loading screens instead.

But Super a shit.
I can't recall a good new anime with advertising that blatant in it. Only new anime I'm even watching is Keijo!!! because I thought the premise was just stupid enough to work.

What?

PREACH IT BROTHA

Didn't Nioh get violence censored and gameplay casualified?

you are the kind of person that we wish never vote. Nothing personal

...

...

...

BB is best PS4 game. Is it still only PS4 game?

...

Gravity Rush Remastered is far superior to the Vita version. The rest of the good games arent even out yet, like Gravity Rush 2, Nioh, and maybe the new Spider-man game.

Sorry, my bad, a button holder with action elements

None of those games have combat depth. And Zone of the Enders 2 is one of my favorite games.

If you're not baiting, what's your definition of combat depth?

The Japanese version has dismemberment, particularly decapitation, removed in their region but we still get full gibs here in the west.
Having played both the Alpha and Beta I can say if they casualized it any then it wasn't much. One thing that Nioh has going for it is that it is in the Souls-like genera and that player base don't take well to casualization. I think more people over here were complaining that it wasn't sufficiently like DaS than were complaining about the difficulty. Unless Tecmo fumbles badly at the 10 yard line, Nioh will turn out fine.

*Vanquish
I'm retarded.

I still have no idea what you mean.

No? As for casualization, it's highly debatable. The Beta made some minor changes to the lock-on system, camera, the conditions for getting tired out were a bit more forgiving, and also removed durability entirely. In my opinion, nothing significant, and I actually see those things as improvements.

...

After writing this post, I just realized I was arguing for a different kind of depth than everyone else. I'm talking about style and combat variety. My bad guys. Anyway, here's the post:

Being able to mix and match various elements of combat on the fly. This is your on-the-go weapon changing, your royal guards, your dashes, your enemy steps - all available at once and can be used in combination.

The thing about all of the games that were listed is that you have to break gameplay to switch weapons, and even then, the tools at your disposal often lead to you just pressing two buttons back to back.

For example, ZOE2 has tons of guns you can use - but no one really bothers to use them. That leaves you with Zero Shift and Grab - and square to use your plasma gun and your sword. You can't even choose when to use the plasma gun and sword, it's based on your distance to the enemy. On top of that, you can only target one enemy at once.

With Bloodborne it's just

That's not combat depth - it's just a basic game loop.

did you even play them?

okay, I'll give you that. It's mostly timing as with other Souls titles

I take it you've never saved 100% of the rebels in the all-out war level

...

Doesn't BB have 2 kinds of on-the-go weapon changing, one of which (Tricking/untricking weapons) modifies your attack and increases it's damage, thus encouraging it's use?

Could you elaborate?

Amusingly enough since human enemies use the same stamina as you do that change makes it harder for THEM to get tired out as well
A good change in my opinion. If I go through the trouble of getting something like all purple tiered Unmatched Warrior of the West gear I don't want to have to worry about pieces of it degrading.

I only played BB for like four hours because it bored the absolute shit out of me, but from what I remember, weapon switching (like in other Souls games) is still slow as fuck. Not nearly as fast as DMC where it's instantaneous

Royal guard is a cool little mechanic in DMC3/4 where you can basically block and counter -any- move in the game (even boss moves). The move is instant too as soon as you press the button, and it can interrupt other moves too, allowing for cancels that allow you to go into other move chains. It's awesome.

Enemy step lets you hop off of enemies in mid-air, so you effectively get another double-jump. This is how you get your DMC montages of people basically staying the air forever. If I recall right, enemy steps also cancel moves, allowing you to do some really cool stuff by combining it with other moves.

God, brb guys, I'm going to play DMC4SE to get my Vergil fix

J-pop boy band simulator 2016
I'm not into fashion that much, but goddamn FFXV character design pisses me off. You are a fucking prince, but can't be arsed to wear a uniform? One of your cohorts is shirtless?

Proof that you've never played the game.

Why should a prince wear a uniform?

bait detected

Oh, so you're not arguing that other action games don't have depth to their combat, you're arguing that other action games aren't copy pastes of the DMC3/4 combat systems.

I specifically recall you having to pull the weapon out once you switch to them. Plus, to transform them, there's a whole animation there too that takes up a few seconds.

Not really. God Hand is on a similar level of depth and it's entirely different.

Are we actually being raided by cuckchan?

I've seen better.

...

You can do transformation attacks that let you attack as you transform the weapon.

Now this is just over the line

But you can change Emerl's moveset in Sonic Battle mid-fight every time you get KOed

Holy shit what makes people say such idiotic shit? Is it something in the water?

Some companies put estrogen in bottled water.

literally no one in here said that

...

See

More specifically, please try to read the disclaimer that I purposefully put at the top of the post

Yeah, "a different kind of depth". You defined it as style/combat variety. It's basically the same as what everyone would consider depth in an action game. Your disclaimer is meaningless.

...

I just… What? What are you even arguing

See

Unless you're implying that the only thing you do in those games is button mash and nothing else. You'd have to be retarded to legitimately think that with a straight face.

Hell it's not even the stupid 'here is my autistically strict definition of depth' it's if your game isn't exactly like this then it's literally a button masher. Like what the fuck kind of dumbass logic is going on up in that empty skull of yours to reach that conclusion and how the hell did you think that people weren't going to instantaneously call you on it?

Alright at the beginning and then turns into utter shit.

It's better than 13 but that's not saying a lot.

12 just does everything better. World, lore, exploration, characters, hunts. Especially hunts. Customizeable AI, etc.

Combat is tolerable. Not great but not horrid either. The idea of "one button combat" is impossible, and designing a combat system around it makes it clunky and this game proves it.

I keep saying ways they could have easily fixed the game and I'm seeing wasted potential everywhere and it irritates me.

The one sure thing I can say about it is that it's pretty.

How do you guys keep missing

There is functional combat depth (timing in Souls games) and stylish combat depth (DMC, God Hand, etc).

Everything you mentioned has a low potential ceiling and not nearly as much control. I remember people had to literally splice videos together with MGR to simulate weapon changing because otherwise the gameplay was too slow.

This one wasn't IN the game though

Also AP feels like shit to earn normally. I guess it's easy enough to grind though. Go warp strike monsters that are lower level than you and you can kill with one hit.

I addressed it here and you acted like you had no idea what I was talking about. b8/10, got me to form an argument.

Seriously? You keep trying to do that 'but these games aren't like muh DMC', therefore they aren't deep argument. Are you like brain damaged or what? How long are yoy going to keep making these asinine claims?

The problem is that most PCs don't even run console ports sold on Steam.
Just outdated PC desktops, which can be upgraded with overpriced add-in cards (an outdated concept too) actually are to run AAA video games.
Steam users except 1 % do not buy games, they play one F2P on toasters.

I haven't had to say this in years, but
NYPA

It's about being a fun community.
Remember that jerkoff who made those fake screenshots about bringing Aeris back to life by crying at her bedside using 99 tissues gained in the Arena? That was a great troll.

I don't fucking believe it.

Because princes go through military training? He didn't have to wear a uniform through the whole game. But if being called Noctis wasn't already teenedgy enough, he is in a boy band, everyone wears skintight black and he is a PRINCE. He is an edgy mary sue. It's the male version of a barbie doll.

Forgot pic

Forgetting Godhand is one thing.
That I forgot Gaiden is absolutely disgraceful.

Actually I forgot about God Hand.
But really, come on. God Hand was a fluke. An Abberation.
GodHand even existing, let alone being as fun as it ultimately is, stands as proof that there was a rip in space-time.

You need evidence you're in an alternate universe? Don't look at berenstaien
look at GodHand
Exactly…

It's the free space area you get in the main screen to fool around with the controls.
Try the game on hard. Same thing. Just more zip-zap triangle and potion-bashing.

user this is stretching it. Viewtiful is fun, though.
Never could get into Onimusha because the puzzles broke up the pacing from what I remember.

It's fun to know that this game will be exactly what we are expecting it to be since we've played it twice now.
This is going to revitalize action gaming for me. Hopefully they don't downgrade the mechanics or difficulty.

No. Campy but no.
Never played it.
YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND

Meh

I think you should be through most of the content within 20 hours aiming at a goal of 30-50 hours (fast/slow pace) of quality game time.
Games become stale after some time and you want to be able to finish the story before that happens.
