Khanstant posted:Is for spoken ten bucks yet? it's 50% off, but that ain't much of a deal when you're already starting at nearly $100 canadian maybe in like a year or two it'll appear at 80% off during some SE publisher sale, which is the only price point i'd even think of giving it a try

Games Forum posted:FFX, if going by classic FFs, is my favourite FF. Hands down. FFVIII comes incredibly, squeakingly close, and then even closer is FFIX. What a trio of games. I'll be honest I don't really consider FFX to be a classic but it's also sort of where I stopped being able to play the franchise regularly for a while. I'd consider the pixel FFs to be more the classics with FFVII being the change line for the modern entries. Might be just be me though.

I've only actually played FF13 and 14 and that was enough to tell me they are bad. Well and Crystal Chronicles, that one was fine, though the remaster was bad too

So they didn't engage with the eiokon mechanic which can drastically change up your play style in ways that are not possible in God of War, or Ghost of Tsushima. They stuck to the first three you get and never bothered to change it.

Trying to get through Front Mission 1st: Remake, this is one of those retro turn based RPGs where the difficulty is very artificial in that 3/4ths of your attacks will be misses. It's so frustrating and really makes it feel bad to play.

My wife picked up the Pikmin 4 Demo because she thought Oatchi was adorable, and she enjoyed it so much that she picked up Pikmin 1 + 2 and is going through all of that right now.

the only reviews I read are glib statements made online by goons and the goon-minded in my personal life, and if something grabs me, I buy it! never fails. it can be like "did you hear about Mario RPG Switch? Boshi's going to be back, that's so cool" or "Booster is so funny, cant wait to play Mario RPG Switch" or "should I get Mario RPG if the reviews are good?" "yeah" and you know what? never fails. this is how I heard about Dave the Diver. cant wait! I cant remember the last time I read a review of a new game. sometimes its fun tho to read old video game rag scanz.

It's so frustrating and really makes it feel bad to play. it's something i never liked about the series. you'll eventually learn to incorporate that RNG into your strategy, and it's true of your enemies attacks too, but it did make some encounters feel like a coin flip. if it's like FM3, though, the game accommodates streaks of bad luck with just being pretty easy.

I really wish Obsidian was making a third game. I was excited for Avowed until learning that it was going to just be fantasy the Outer Worlds, that killed all of my enthusiasm for it.

my hope is that avowed will generate enough interest in the IP to warrant a third game in the series, although i fully expect something turn based over RTwP if it ever hits that point aside from the excellent game balance and build variety, it's just a genuinely great, well thought out setting that deeply appeals to the history nerd in me with regards to how much thought went into each society and the conflicts they find themselves in. having magical wizard fights and a setting where materialist concerns are still grounded and believable is a tough balancing act, and i think deadfire especially nails it

Pillars 2 could be the best game ever created and I wouldn't play it after how terrible the first was; really and truly the most unpleasant time I've ever spent playing a videogame.

It's really unfortunate because Pillars 2 really is the best game ever created and you should play it, even after how terrible the first game was. I didn't play it because I didn't finish the first one until I got drunk one night and decided "why not, let's give it a whirl" and got hooked. My wife also fell asleep during our playthrough of the first (that we ended early) and loved the second one. I imagine a lot of people who played the first and hated it would love the second, tbqh.

Alpha Protocol is good, but Goons are too willing to ignore it's many, many flaws. It's action gameplay is fully trash and a lot of the hacking is underbaked. Sometimes I wish people would just be more willing to acknowledge flaws rather than trying to paper over them to sell them on others.

The fact that my first playthrough I both did not meet Sis, but was so unaware of her existence that I thought they were confusing her for SIE is a testament that only Alpha Protocol can tote.
