Chomp8645 posted:But this is like, the developer directly and unambiguously lied about objective things like "the game has multiplayer". wait what? i dont remember the kingdom come devs ever saying that, i only remember it being talked about as a single player rpg even in early days. there were some broken quests at launch and a few people lost save data but i think saying "thousands of people were hosed" is a bit of a stretch

Never buy a game at launch, never pre-order. If you do it's YOU John who are the game developers! Also buying a game is like buying a chair in exactly zero ways.

i will fight you for your placement of 12 and also leaving off a good one and a pretty okay one e: i know we've had disagreements about T:A in the past but i forget if you said you'd ever tried A2 for the DS?

If we're talking Final Fantasy now here's my hot take: I liked the first five to ten minutes I played of 12 way more than the two-ish hours I wasted on 10.

10 really is kind of an abysmal slog but it had some fun ideas that i liked 12 has crazy problems (here's 40 minutes of grandiose kingdom warring and betrayals and assassinations, now everyone you just saw is dead and you're the world's most annoying kid literally fighting rats in a loving sewer) but the battle system is really neat and the presentation overall is super solid

food court bailiff posted:10 really is kind of an abysmal slog but it had some fun ideas that i liked I should probably expand on specifics rather than leaving my last post as it is. I enjoyed that super solid presentation of 12 despite the wonky battle system, the license to wear a hat thing, and I didn't get far enough to be annoyed by the kid but I did fight the rats in a sewer. 12's plot (or at least the beginning) may be the stereotypical we got invaded by assholes and now we're gonna rebel against said tyrannical overlord assholes which is cliche but didn't offend me like 10's opening. I put those two hours in 10 waiting for it to "get good" but it never rose above it's stupid anime plot. Protagonist's world getting destroyed by large inhuman creature/force? Check. Him getting saved at the last minute by mysterious stranger and waking up in another place? Check. Nobody in the new place having heard of the city the protagonist's from (except as a bullshit legend for babies)? Check. Falling in love at first sight with the quiet priestess type character? Check. One of them will die valiantly? Check, according to Wikipedia. Plus, I had a hard time feeling bad for Tidus, an entitled, wildly successful, popular sports player, even if he had abandonment/daddy issues. Apparently he learns to not be such a whiny idiot over the course of the game, but I haven't hated a player character this much since I tried Radiata Stories.

Were the endgame battles in that game really unfairly hard or did I gently caress myself by doing my standard RPG thing of refusing to use anything but direct damage spells and autoattacks?

The best LOTR game is The War In the North, no fooling. That game is loads of fun to play with a buddy up until the dwarf unlocks the explosive crossbow ability and trivializes the content Also that Game of Thrones: The Roleplaying Game that came out in like 2012 is way better than it ever had a right to be.

The story of FF12 is miserable and while it at least makes sense so its better than FF13's story, its really bad. Its bad both in what the narrative is and how its presented

Looking back, the Legacy of Kain games are probably my favorite ongoing game story, and while I'm sad it never got a proper final entry, I'm glad it never got handed over to some no-name studio to gently caress it up.
