Maybe, one day, they'll put Prompto back on his default camera and disable the filters, all of which universally ruin photos.

I unironically hope they don't, Prompto taking the shittiest photos and acting like a genius is one of my favourite things

when this LP started I wanted to suggest they make "someone compliments Prompto on a really lovely photo" a drinking condition, but didn't because I wasn't sure yet how incompetent his AI would be.

as for the unfortunately placed lv 50 migdarsormr snake whatever, I could've swore it's not supposed to show up until after this quest is over (at least it didn't when I played) but regardless it was pretty hilarious watching you try to fight it. omnis lacrima (the battle music that plays for large non-demons like the snake) also owns, imo.

This is such a dry game. It's a bit of a shame how stiff and restrictive everything is.

I have to say that the game looked pretty interesting when it was just starting out, there was a big open world free to explore... unfortunately it turns out that it is full of mind-numbing, tedious, and repetitive side-quests, so the open world lost a lot of its charm quickly.

There was some pretty good music as you went behind the waterfall.

But because it's this game it was absolutely wasted and out of touch with the setting.

I was the cranky old man who sat in his rocking chair yelling about this game right before it came out.

"They made us wait infinity years--I don't think it's going to live up to the hype!" said old man Shinjobi. I was laughed at, ridiculed, and reminded to stop being so dang cranky.

These videos make me feel so smug it's kinda ridiculous. Like, XV doesn't look like a bad game, really. But gently caress...if I had waited as long as I did, paid as much money as you have to for this game + any DLC, and this is the final product? Cranky isn't the right word for it. The game feels like a huge let down.

We had trouble for awhile but we actually recorded some more last weekend and are going w/ Mike again on Saturday so we should have some more consistent updates the next few weeks :love: :love: :love:

Basically we've been trying to record with Mike as much as possible because it's more fun with all three of us.

I don't suppose we could ever get Alex back in on the action some time, could we?

Short version: Mike, Ryan, and myself all ended up moving to San Francisco while Alex still lives in Arizona. He didn't really "quit" so much as T40 was no longer a formal group. We just decided to do FFX-2 as a goodbye thing and he didn't want to suffer through another long RPG. We're all still friends but I doubt he'll be joining us unless he decides to visit SF sometime.

They've been patching in more music to coincide with new releases as a promotional thing. Nier Automata obviously added Nier music, the Gladio DLC added a couple tracks from his campaign (also composed by Keiichi Okabe), and the most recent patch added some stuff from a mobile game no one's ever heard of but did a FFXV event recently.

I'm hoping for more XIV tracks when Stormblood comes out next month.

I'd actually probably buy a PS4 (also for bloodborne) and this if I could just have it cycle through Spotify playlists or mp3s.

GTA San Andreas came out like 13 years ago I don't loving understand how we have regressed so badly, but the answer is probably just "profits"

Wow, I just really realized how bizarre a Final Fantasy game this is. There's no healing or buff magic at all. It's all potions and food. That and there not really being an armor system at all.

Well, the closest is the cures you can add to the spells you make, but i am bummed theres no 'white mage' option. Hopefully if they do add luna in some way like they intimated she can be one

I mean I can understand the lack of it. Blink or Vanish would absolutely destroy the combat in this game, and throwing a Berserk on Gladiolus would be fun but overkill.

Wow, that would actually be way more interesting, actually. As would not being constantly forced out of the car and allowed to run enemies over. Hmm.

Edit: Also Vyv sounds like Forrest Kayson from D4 to me.

I don't think Blink would be that effective, at least during trash mob fights where 15 attacks are going off all at once. Congrats, you dodged 5 attacks for chip damage, get ready for another 10 to stack up. Even big daemons or bosses have combo attacks where Blink if its just one or two shots wouldn't help too much.

It generally lasts for a pretty drat long time to be honest. And if that one wouldn't help then turning everything into an imp or frog certainly would. Or casting Protect on yourself so you can stop getting flung around like a Dark Souls ragdoll for a moment.
