I liked FFXIV's 1-50 story and loved Heavenswards and I did not give a single flippin' dang about Stormblood's. The environments were great and a couple of the villains were cool but I kind of hated all the good guys.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
Plastic Love has been a forced meme in Brasil for months like Toto - Africa and Despacito have been out there so I'm going to guess it began spreading

Good songs though.

i hope luigi's mansion 3 is closer to the first game in having a huge explorable mansion with a ton of weird poo poo hidden around it cause luigi's mansion 2 sounded very not like what i wanted from a luigi's mansion sequel

Revisiting it, there's not a lot going on in the first game's mansion in contrast to the second game where you only visit chunks but they change in pretty dynamic ways and there are a lot of clever puzzles and encounters. But the sequel lacks a lot of the charm because you're only fighting boos and not the truly cool inhabitants from the first game. So the solution would be maintaining the personality of the first with the puzzle design of the second but Nintendo will probably take the wrong lessons from both and do something completely different.

Dark Moon actually had good multiplayer, it was like a pseudo roguelike co-op dungeon crawler

I remember Luigi's Mansion 2 having a ton more puzzles than the first and not enough ghost hunting and finding it pretty middling because of that (and the on rails boss), but it's been years since I played it.

I really don't get the hate for 1-50 FFXIV. I've leveled half a dozen characters through it and it's better than any other MMOs leveling experience.

Surely you can agree that 1-30 at least is painfully slow if you've ever played an MMORPG before?

I absolutely haaaaaate having to level my alt jobs up to like level 50. You have like all of 2 loving abilities, its just so slow and boring.

Rinoa might be my favorite FF character so when Squall came around on her I was more "loving finally" than examining the relationship for toxicity

e: also I think it's pretty reasonable to have a sudden realization that you were kinda being a dick to someone who just almost died, though I don't remember if that was actually the turning point cause it's been a while

yeah but for 2 discs up to that point he's just maximum angst and she's like the perfect manic pixie dream girl that dotes on him and puts up with his bs even though he shows zero interest.

Squall is this kid who just listens to Linkin Park 24/7.

E: Cloud was arguably worse though lmao, and I do enjoy 7 and 8 a lot. Just sayin'

Squall needs someone who doesn't listen to him when he says "stop talking to me please" for his character arc to function. Also he's hot and Rinoa is a teenager so I dunno I feel like it works

Dragon Quest XI is a much longer game, if that sways your opinion either way.

Both games are fantastic. If I had to pick one it'd be DQXI, but I am having a ton of fun web slinging around Manhattan.

It definitely does work but it just seems like a bad cliche. Oooh he's a sexy bad boy who doesn't show affection, she should save him! Like IDK not the best role models.

Its all based on anime tropes that were popular at the time and also not particularly healthy images of relationships imo.

It just needed to be built up more in the lead-up, I think.

The other thing that's bad about the game is the ending

I went spiderman and wish i went dq.

Spideemans traversal is cool but the world is shallow
Main story also full of really bad non spiderman missions and it really meanders for a long time in the first half
Combat is cool but its all the game has to stand on for missions aside from qte spam and rudimentary stealth so you get tired of it after a while and there some customization you can mess with but im 15 hours in and over it.

Now i dont want to poo poo on it too much cause its fun to be spiderman. 8.5/10

Sony has a greatest hits label for ps4 already and will probably do a 20 dollar version like theyve done for their other big exclusives. Hzd got one right? Like within 18 months post launch

It might be a while for Spiderman, but for DQ I'd guess 'never' is more likely.

Spiderman seems good, but a good version of the ur-game everyone keeps making so at least for me, waiting for it to get cheap/free is the best move

As for FF8 chat, in retrospect I really like how bold that game was. Stuff like the junction system and having shitloads of hidden sidequests that you had to actively go looking for, etc.

At the same time, I can't get over how poo poo fuckingly retarded the game's premise was. "Yeah, these whiny teenagers are the world's most elite military force, also the evil sorceress is actually our adoptive mother but we forgot because our summoned monsters selectively erase our memories"

I had to abandon a replay around the time Squall & co. were shot into space, I just couldn't take it anymore.
