I now have no regrets over pre-ordering this game.

Wrong dog however. The one in the picture is a wild pup found on the side of the road. It does however remind Prompto of the dog mentioned in the spoiler in the same Brotherhood episode.

I'm currently late for work as I overslept after 4 hours of playing Chapter 1.

I really wish it had an option to make lock a toggle rather than having to hold R1 down the whole time.

The game you get to play while you download is rather lame, shorter than the demo by far. You just punch gobbos over and over, that's it. Wah wah.

PSN is getting slammed harrrrrrrrd, my download is crawling. Oh well, gonna watch some TV and crash and play tomorrow.

GonSmithe posted:

So I downloaded the game but now the title screen is saying I have an install time of 70 minutes left, do I need to keep the game open to install or can I play something else while waiting?

It'll keep downloading in the background if you play something else.

There are no bad reviews. No great ones either (from reputable sources.) Does that mean the game is worth playing? Or should I wait a month?

I dunno what you mean by reputable but there are several 9s and glowing no score reviews.

I'm enjoying the game so far but I am also getting very lost on things at point. Like combat feels kind of weird in when I am supposed to be doing stuff like the link attacks and what influences better follow ups than others?

Is there any way to more forward time besides resting? I have a hunt that only comes out at night and I declined to wait till nighttime when picking it up thinking I'd run down there and collect stuff/fight on the way, but now am I just stuck waiting?

Link-attacks happen randomly when you're back attacking. So always be attacking backs. You get more link-attacks if your bros have secondary weapons equipped, so make sure to immediately give Ignis a spear.

VanillaGorilla posted:

Incidentally, they changed up the battle scoring system in 1.02. "Stealth" is out, and now you're rated on Damage, Finesse, and Defense. Seems MUCH easier to get A ranks on fights now (I literally never figured out what the gently caress "Stealth" even meant after 30 hours of playing the game).

Stealth = back attacks.

Is there a downside to having wait mode active, or is it essentially a "you're an idiot if you don't turn this on" thing?

This game is super fun so far, and one time I glitched Ignis into dancing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3IiK_v70fo

I jumped over a wall to talk to that guy, and Ignis must've still been in his falling animation. Only caught the end of it on the recording, but he was tap dancing with his arms out for the whole conversation, it was pretty :laffo:

I dunno, both Eurogamer and Gamesradar gave it a 9.

IGN and Polygon scores don't even mean anything anymore, if they ever did.

The reviews pretty much point to what it seems from people's feedback in the thread, it's a good but pretty drat flawed game.

Combat is exciting and fun in real-time

Wait mode in this is most analogous to VATS

I played it for about 15 minutes to see if it would ever end or I was ever in danger of dying and ended up just quitting, I got an accessory from it but I dunno if that was a consolation prize or what.

Looks gorgeous on PS4 regular too, but the framerate is pretty rear end. Does it feel like 60fps on Pro?

Went into this as utterly blind as I could, and the juxtaposition of the intro going from a regal looking place to a road trip breakdown in the middle of the Arizona desert (cue FF15 logo while the boys are bitching about their lot) had me laughing for a while. Haven't seen any plot yet but I hope the characterization keeps up (assuming Ignis ever loosens up, goddamn man get that rod out yo rear end)

So are there actual well realised towns/cities to explore at your own pace this time or did they gently caress it like they hosed XIII?

I played it and got to 2.6M points. Everything was level 99 for quite some time. Only thing I got out of it was a defensive accessory. Took over 2 hours. Bleh

GARVASE DAY!

I don't know if this is true of digital copies, but if you go to play the game while 1.02 is installing you can play a combat demo, basically the end of Platinum but with infinite Goblins instead of the Iron Giant. It's fun enough, and I wish more games gave you at least something to do while waiting like this.
