I'm still boggled by how the discussion surrounding dlc and loot boxes apparently needs more nuance than "Replacing a system where you purchase a thing with a system where you purchase a chance at that thing or nothing at all is a lovely, anticonsumer move regardless of what that thing is, which no other industry is allowed to do."

I wonder what will come out from AC Origins having game content literally locked out if you don't do a gamestop preorder, though. Probably nothing.

Wasnt the Harley Quinn dlc in Arkham Whatever a pre order bonus or something?

Picross S, while not bad, seems really mediocre and lacking in personality. Like, it's not bad but at the same time I feel I have like a dozen better Picross games on my phone.

Its an MMO, but its got a cool aesthetic and it was 20 bucks so I figured I could check it out while I wait for Mario to come out. ALso it and XII are the only FF's i havent played so I should do it someday.

It has hardcore fans like Eve has, in that it was the most grognardiest poo poo and goshdarnit, people liked it that way.

internet osmosis has given me a bit of an idea about 8 and 9 but all the double digit final fantasies are a big mystery lump to me. I know the new one is 15 and you drive a product placement porsche and eat food

edit: 13 has the girl named lightning as the main character and is kind of like mass effect maybe?

Yes 13 had lightning, not so sure about the mass effect comparisons. It and it's two sequels are just Final Fantasy as gently caress.

9 is great and, while I love 8 it's divisive.

I would have agreed had Hasbro not released an actually really loving good mobile Clue game.

I dont think the regalia is product placement but there is a lot of product placement elsewhere and its awesome. the main story quest where you have to go look at the wedding dress is great.

By today's standards though it is hardly an MMO. There are single player RPGs now vastly bigger. I just think of FFXII as that single player RPG that is larger then most JRPGs on the PS2.
