I dunno how unpopular this actually is, I was posting in the FF7 remake thread a few days ago and nobody really agreed, but I think pretty much everything they added to the story/concept on top of what was originally there was trash. I was all for expanding the world of midgar and having some changes, so it isn't that, but most of the stuff they chose to do was either latter day square gibberish, like the entire last chapter, or just mindnumbingly boring, like every sidequest and new/expanded universe character they put in. The game overall was pretty fun and it was cool to see the bits from the original blown up to life size, because even though they dragged everything out alot, they pretty much did a good job there and in some spots a great job. But the whisper stuff and all the breaking fate stuff is really abstract stuff that I don't understand why anybody likes. The only defense I really see of it is that it's great because it's different. But I didn't want to play a latter day square dumbass story, they lost me a long time ago on that. I wanted a remake of ff7 and they sort of took a huge poo poo on it right at the end. during the ending I wasn't bored or kind of not liking it, I was hating the thing because right before the ending chapter, there's some excellent stuff happening lifted right from the original and I was having fun and looking forward to seeing the rest of the world and story remade like that, but then they do all this poo poo which tramples on it all with things that are so far from interesting drama it's nuts. I know stuff like kingdom hearts has its fans and there's a hardcore audience for this kind of stuff but y'know, the ending of ff7 isn't actually regarded as good is it? It feels like there should be a lot more talk about how much of a gently caress up that ending was. roomtone fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Jun 21, 2022 |

Please don't just sit there occasionally grunting I don't think I've gotten more angry at a video game than the first Dead Rising where I actually screamed and smashed my controller into the floor and tortured the disk with hot water until I broke it in half like a toddler. The AI and trying to save anyone combined with the Hicks in the courtyard and their jeep just broke my brain and I still consider that the worst game I've ever played

It's a shooter with RPG elements. It's fine for that. It's gonna suck if you expected a life sim lol I am enjoying it, playing it again properly for the first time since the big patch. It's fun. I got guns and go blammo and also there's cool sneaky stealth kills, and throwing knives zip back to your hand now. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

yeah but no. i mean if you're enjoying it a lot then i'm glad. i wish i had enjoyed it a lot. i like, barely enjoyed it. and i went in knowing what it was. it's just, for real, the actual gameplay is bad. it's not "just okay", it really is just bad. there isn't any pretension of encounter design or level design, there are no cool secret optional things in the missions, it's just a totally on rails experience

and i'm not like, trying to change anyone's mind. i've deffo liked games that were bad games but good stories before. i just think people who enjoy it should admit that. Witcher 3 wasn't the best game experience ever but it was designed, it had a lot of enemy variety and you got to make choices and it had lots of quests with all kinds of weird ways to resolve them, often involving actual puzzle solving

Cyberpunk was the only m rated game that prominently displayed women's boners stretching against tight shorts as "in world advertisements" for a few minutes every time I played.

While theoretically they could have good stories why would anyone bother? Who's going to waste a good story on a video game?

I will restate my opinion that Cyberpunk would have been a 10x better game if they had just given the player character Mirror's Edge style movement abilities. It would transform its beautiful but mostly pointless and joyless city into an open world parkour funhouse.

Final Fantasy fans are obnoxiously defensive of their series, and even the mildest criticism sets them off into a froth of the most tedious possible posting.

tripwood posted:TUNIC was great until I hit the Quarry. What the gently caress is this, this is way harder then it needs to be. And there's almost no save points anywhere. The next area's even worse! You get access to the Quarry loooong before you actually need to go in there. It's initially a bullshit place on purpose, but once you have a few quest items and generic +hp +potion stuff you get to clown all over them. Spamming the grapple on every ranged dude is never not maliciously fun.

Not this thread just in general. Just insane levels of delusional thinking and bizarre hostility I think it's because the fandom is so far into the nerd side of the scale that the fans never learned any actual communicative or interpersonal skills and started entwining their own self image into that of the games and thus see anyone calling the games into question as calling those fans out.

This doesn't really make sense to me given how viciously Final Fantasy fans tear apart the Final Fantasy games they don't like I feel like I see fewer people defensive of the series at a whole and more of their own specific favorite games in it.

And I played it for like 40 hours+. The combat system was kind of interesting but everything else was just boring and bland and repetitive

The combat system was kind of interesting but everything else was just boring and bland and repetitive I did 100% of the superbosses in that game and the moment I was done I sat back and was like, "why did I do that?" I'll go to bat for its combat system, I think it's legitimately fun (the last few superboss fights were really cool fights, too), but the rest of it I really don't know why I stuck with at the time. Its worst flaw is that it makes you wait 20+ hours before you can almost use the full combat system, and still another dozen or so hours after that before they finally let you loose.

I'll have you know 11-16 year old me thought final fantasy was awesome. I have not revisited the series since then because I'm not longer the target audience from what I can tell.

Final Fantasy 13 is one of my favourites because I always know where I need to go to progress, the combat system is fun, and visually it has aged well. I get why people hate it because I saw the response when it was released, but from my point of view it has very little fat on it by Final Fantasy standards.

Fromsoft fans don't have to be defensive. Everytime a game drops more people join the From lover family. No amount of impotent screeching will change the fact that the series has proven that people want games with good gameplay, challenge, and exploration over the morass of garbage "Narrative" focused games that can't even reach the heights of a Grisham or Patterson novel.

I really like pre-rendered backgrounds. The coolest spots in Ocarina of Time for me were the pre-rendered, fixed camera spots. Never got that into the post IX FF's. Beat and enjoyed X but didn't like it as much. Thirteen was one of the worst purchases I've ever made. Hated FF7R. Felt like Kingdom Hearts minus Disney.
