That would only be true if the best Final Fantasy and dare I say, one of the best games of all-time (FFX-2) wasn't a mere 15 years old.

Final Fantasy 9 came out in 2000, so this doesn't check out.

Franchescanado posted:I was gifted two games yesterday, I'd be happy to play either, so I need an outside force to pick which one I play Majora's Mask. FF15 is steadfastly serviceable at best with some long bad parts, while MM is a modern classic.

I only occasionally wander into the Game threads, so of the few things I've seen said FFXV was supposed to be fun. I like RPGs, so my girlfriend bought it for me as a surprise. I'd ask what makes FFXV terrible, but I feel like that's a derail, and I don't really care to explore that thread.

fridge corn posted:assassins creed syndicate is actually not a bad game it's quite fun and improves on almost every mechanic in AC history---except for climbing. they give you a straight up zipline which is fun but instead of improving upon their central playstyle mechanic, they caked it with an EZ mode setting and took away any reason to do parkour poo poo. Playing Zelda and using that climbing gameplay is more satisfying but Syndicate as a whole is a good game that, yet again, did not need the cloak of ASSASSIN'S CREED to envelop it, much like Black Flag. oddium posted:breath of the wild actually has zero dungeons I actually love this. Having 100 mini puzzle dungeons, naturally encountered battles and events, and the 4 Big Monster Things is a nice change from the back and forth puzzle dungeons of the last 4 or so Zeldas, which fatigued me big time.

FFXV is epic but I've only played the demo. The only bad FF game is the III remake.

FFXV is bad because it's a mess of a rushed half-of-a-game with terrible characters, terrible writing, a wonky battle system, and an open world that is too small and insanely bland.

Wamdoodle posted:I played KZ 1-3 and they were pretty standard FPS games. Nothing extremely amazing except maybe multiplayer for 2 and 3 because there wasn't any online sci fi shootmans at the time. At least on PS3. And they might as well been regular military shooters because there wasn't anything really out there in terms of sci fi weaponry. The games were just mediocre if you look at them in a vacuum but the context of Sony outright lying to everyone while pushing them as killer apps not once but twice is where a lot of the backlash comes from; Killzone 1 was supposed to be the PS2's Halo Killer because it had a bunch of impressive-looking screenshots but then it could barely even run when in motion, and then when the PS3 was unveiled with that incredibly obvious fake CGI trailer that they kept shamelessly swearing was actual gameplay footage.

oddium, I suggest giving Fez a try if you ever have a chance, despite Phil Fish's rightly earned reputation for being a dolt. It has a few decent cryptography puzzles in addition to a great soundtrack.

FF15 is extremely good but with the caveat that it is absolutely packed to the brim with hilariously bad sidequests. Thankfully you can very safely ignore all of them if you want and just do the Hunts which own.

It's worth playing Uncharted 4 a second time just to play the whole game in Cel Shade Graphics (or 8-bit but that's kinda rough).

Quest For Glory II posted:gamers dont really read, you should have said MyAnimeList and they'd have understood I really just want a digital list of games that I own but haven't beaten or want to replay, so I can just pull it up and see "Oh, I never beat Metroid Prime" and able to pull it up on my phone or computer without digging through my closet. Ratings or recommendations would just help me prioritize what I play.
