I have never been disappointed by a telltale game but I've only ever bought them on sale for $5 or so or gotten them for free. TWD 2 was a step back for sure from the first but I didn't have any major issues with the story or gameplay. I feel like that one really emphasized the story over gameplay by having less puzzle oriented stuff or gameplay elements that could prevent you from moving forward, but that was okay with me. Usually they hook me in get me to finish them in a few days. Telltale's been pretty formulaic, but I like the stories they've told and I'm okay with that. The fact that they can be done relatively quickly is a nice break from my usual fare. I did just start playing Until Dawn so that might jade me going forward. I thought Life is Strange was really well done too with its mechanics and surprising amount of options.

Also Until Dawn. I'd also rather hate-play David Cage games because they are hilarious and generally look pretty good and are mostly super entertaining.

I'm afraid to play any more FF15 since they were talking about making radical gameplay changes someday in the future.

I am still waiting for a Fletch game to be made by Telltale or someone else. Get Chevy onboard to do the voice acting and I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

Ummmaybe you've never heard of Final Fantasy VI  But I agree it's good, people are down on it because of how enormously slapdash the last, ah, five chapters of the game are but I would say it still ended quite strong. Pretty much everything after getting to the ruined palace is gold.

The review of Parappa I read said that they did not fix some kind of critical timing problem that was present in the original game. I never played it (having only recently gotten any interest in music games), but is it that bad?

I think it was because the game was designed around inherent delays with CRT that allowed smooth input for timing the rhythms. With faster hardware the game tends to drop sync between frames and audio so while you might have the rhythm correct, the screen prompts are almost an entire second behind. I don't recall making it past the onion sensei because of the timing differences; and that was just connecting a PS1 to a flatscreen about a decade ago.

And that's not really the issue with this new version because they adjusted the timing, the issue is as it's always been - pressing the buttons at the right time for the game result in Parappa himself sounding like a chopped up mess. He's never sounded right, the game was just very novel at the time so we didn't care.

Hopefully this isn't a bad omen for the patapon and loco roco remasters (if those are even still in consideration)

Is any of the Watch Dogs 2 DLC worth getting while the sale's on, or is it all cosmetic stuff? I'm happy in my bright pink PRIDE shirt and boxer shirts, so

FFXV Ending Chat: I thought the ending was cool to watch but unsatisfying and made no sense to me. Basically you wake up after 10 years missing, meet up with your friends with little to no fanfare at all, immediately walk up to the castle where you have the final fight, then you just leave your friends standing outside with a basically undefeatable army encroaching onto them while you go inside and kill yourself to restart the world. Then it all just happens again? What am I missing here, seems more like you hosed everyone over to an endless cycle the more I thought about it. I feel like it would make way more sense if you sacrificed yourself and save everything (as in SEE what the results after saving them are) rather than literally going back to the beginning of the game because everyone already died. I still enjoyed FFXV but the ending was just kinda like, WTF is going on to me especially with what happens to the other members of the gang.

FFXV, are you getting recurring by reading into the NG+ like you would dark souls? Cause that's just cause people wanted a NG+. I never got any cycle vibes. You die and go to heaven with a picture of a butt, everyone else lives the end.

I mean it like literally restarted the game from the intro once you beat it without me choosing to do so, I took that as some kind of cycle I guess or some reason that it did because most games don't just start over. Certainly possible I was just overthinking it. I like it even less then because what happened at the end is pretty much everyone died? I don't see how any of the gang lives after you go into the building. I admittedly may be forgetting some details because I beat it right after it came out and never played it again other than to finish a few trophies I was near.

Uhhhh Did you immediately turn off the system once it started playing Stand by Me again? Because that's not what happens

Yeah, the game makes it pretty explicitly clear that the end is the end. Noctis and Lunafreya reunite in heaven and sunlight returns to the world. Also, the chapter that everyone complains about wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be; partly because I was very overlevelled by the time I got to it. I could have done without the jumpscares though.

Chapter 13 wasn't the worst thing in the world but it wasn't great. The ending is fantastic though

Did you think the Witcher 3 was an endless cycle too? NG+ only has diegetic meaning in Soulsborne my dude.

I will up the ante: I know Dishonored 2 originally got panned a bit by Digital Foundry for offering little, if any performance improvement on PS4 PRo. A) Did anything better ever get patched in? B) If not. Does Boost Mode have an affect?
