So I am super glad I trusted my instincts and didn't just splurge purchase a PS4 for this game, since apparently by X-mas time they'll have released all the DLC ( aand the rest of the single player storyline LOL)and i'll maybe be able to just pick up the whole kit & kaboodle for $60 probably...

At least there are roughly ten million other games to play right now...

Kind of lazy on SQUENIX to make the most recent times quest last for a month rather than a week like the previous timed quests.

You can get some gil on subsequent victories, but the marquee stuff is only the first time.

Honestly Gladio's playstyle looks super cool and fun to me, I can't wait to play it. I'm hearing some disappointments about Gil's design in the upcoming DLC, but eh, fantasy based on reality and what not, I don't mind it.

EDIT: lol you can actually climb the giant stone arches now.

I guess if I was someone who loved photo mode, but I can't believe SE is showing it off as an impressive feature.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
4chan spoilers right again it seems

Update 1.06: Chapter 13 adds Gladio as a playable character to this chapter, [you go with Ignis the whole time and he needs to be protected. Some new cutscenes are added with Ravus and Iedolas Aldercapt.]

50 thousand people used to live here. Now, it's the Mushroom Kingdom.
So timed quests are temporarily suspended according to patch notes. Did they do it because of the negative feedback? Are they reworking the rotation or something?

In any case, I'll definitely wait till the game is finished before trying any of this. RPGs are just way too long

How do you feel about it compared to the old one, if so?

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
Doing the new CH13 from the main menu now. Spoilertag because it's all new.
Ardyn is weird. The smoke coming from the center is weird. Important filler for the story. It builds on Ardyn a good bit more, what an rear end he is. Another rendering-defect at the central elevator room looking down, temporary fluke for me since it went away after taking the elevator up or was it down a step, smoke and fog started rendering down. Then we learn of the evil emperor's fate for real. Translators take retarded loving freedoms that have no place in a game. Then done. Wonder how it works out in a regular non-mainmenu playthrough of it. Still got grinding to do before taking my lv1 tour out of ch6.

Surely the combat is expanded massively for the actual DLC, nice little variety though basic as heck here. Nice to play somebody else, I look forward to that multiplayer mode far more now.

The version numbers are out of sync with that leak now, which is sort of the least meaningful aspect of it.

says that the specified content here is correct, while the .06 is wrong.

So overall, I'd say it's a very small strike against the 4chan list but a big strike for it.

That's a pretty drat specific thing for the leak to get right. Though it could always be one of those "mix some true stuff with a ton of bullshit" things

There's definitely a person who visits /v/ who has insider knowledge up to a level. This person had general plot detail/spoilers for the entire game up long before release.
They adopted a trip the last time they posted some I think so it may be easier to single them out in future if they keep using it. After the track record they've had, I'm willing to believe the rational parts of what this leaker says compared to other leaks. Naturally, without the trip, it's impossible to say who is who on /v/, which is both good/bad in this sense.

If that leak is right, which seems more and more likely, then the current plan is for the game to be finished a year from now.

Let me check my watch real quick - yup, that's definitely 17 months out from release. Bang-up job there, guys.

They probably think they are doing The Witcher thing and adding meaty content. When in reality they are just making it a complete game for the for the first time.

Also adding even more stupid difficult super-dungeons, which I guess someone out there wants?? I'd prefer they just finish filling in all the plotholes and that 2/3rds of Venice plus an entire additional continent they forgot to put in there the first go around.

EDIT: "Plotholes" in the most literal sense, I mean - places in the plot where there should be story, but instead there is just a trainride and a blind person

It's me. I want postgame dungeons. Just as long as they aren't all boring copy paste poo poo like the current ones.

I'd be mad if I'd bought a console for this, but I'm not upset with paying £40 for it. Game could have been better but I appreciate the fact they feel like they should make it better without locking the improvements behind the DLC pack purchases too.

While I'd maybe argue your point, you're changing the goalpost. The statement seemed to be about games in general, not triple A titles.
