Before I posted on this page it said that this page didn't exist so I'm assuming it's the problem where zdr posted in here at some point because there was some problem with his posts disappearing and screwing up post counts or something like that.

Elephant Ambush posted:Just craft magic grenades like someone else said. I'm almost certain that's what they were designed for. Seems like it. Magic is clunky and crap to use otherwise. Speaking of clunky, that is how I'd describe the combat. I'd even say it's quite bad. Your dodge is really garbage and doesn't give you any distance. The parry is also really bad as the game doesn't give you any indication of which enemy is attacking you, so you have to guess when to hit the button. I get more compelling combat from XIV. They should have made it more like a traditional 3rd person action game rather than whatever this is. I usually spam my warp strike in hopes I end up in a place where I can get an idea of what the hell is going on. I should probably play in that other combat mode since the default is really bad.

FF has had a real problem trying to find a middle ground between a classic RPG an an action game. They really just need to get like, Platinum to make their games from now on.

I'm in the ice caves getting this worthless royal arms weapon I'm never going to use and this is the most frustrating and infuriating loving area I've had to slog through in any game I've played in at least 10 years. Not only are the fights lovely because the camera is bad but because the things are so goddamn narrow you fall off the walk-ways and have to trek all the way through this poo poo. gently caress whoever designed this area. And why the flying gently caress do you automatically walk in these stupid dungeons? Analogue controls have been a thing for 20 years, if people want to walk, program it into the position of the stick.

I'm not glancing over your other gripes or anything, but you know you can just hold the evade button to automatically dodge, right? I didn't realize it at first either. FFXV's battle system is way more basic than it looks, when attacking or dodging you don't actually have to mash the button or time your presses or anything, you just hold it and the game just automatically does poo poo for you. The most influence you have is when to hit the button, or in the case of attacking, moving the left stick in different directions to do different chains of moves. As long as you have MP you can kind of just hold dodge and evade way more stuff than you'd think. Also nthing the "just use magic" advice. Just throw whatever you have into a giant heap to get the magic power as high as possible. Magic is literally an "I win this encounter" button for

That's what grinds my gear the most. I love old-school time or turn-based systems, I'm all over that poo poo. To get an RPG-action system working well is not an easy task, and certainly not one the FF15 team was qualified to meet. Also why I have no confidence in the FF7 remake.

Looking past all my bitching posted during the hair-tearing ice dungeon for a weapon I'm never going to use, the first thing I said about it being an open world game made by aliens who saw a youtube video of an open world game is probably the best description I can give the gameplay systems and overall design of this game. They even do the small details awkwardly. In Red Dead Redemption, you could press a button and greet anyone you meet. In this game, you can greet people who greet you but instead of it being a little thing that doesn't break the flow of your movement, you stop dead-cold in your tracks to wave and cannot move until the animation ends. It is the most bizarrely fascinating game I've played when I'm not fuming over the bad combat. Who thought that's how you do a simple greet in an open world with a nameless NPC you'll never know anything about? Combat is like-wise bizarre. It puts a strong emphasis on animation priority but its encounter design is to throw a bunch of poo poo at you without giving you any tell-tale signs that an enemy is going to attack you and it usually comes out of nowhere without giving you time to react. You hold down dodge to automatically dodge attacks, but they come so fast and without warning, you either have to hold it down forever and avoid the attacks or face-tank them, there is no dodging attacks and anything you dodge is pure coincidence. There's no timing to be had. Only against big enemies and one-on-one encounters can you, at least, get a sense of what is going on, even then everything I've encounter so far has at least a few attacks that have no tells to them. The tutorial is very misleading in this regard. You're fighting Gladious and if you dodge his attack, he stumbles a little bit and every swing has a wind-up. So you think it'd be like that through the entire game but it's the complete opposite of that. Then in exploration, it feels like someone saw Uncharted and decided to put these little transition areas. Like shimming across ledges, or squeezing through tight spaces or ducking under things. But they serve no purpose. They don't appear to hide loading times or separate the path from a combat arena or offer any kind of cinematic break in the gameplay. You do the thing and your entire team warps to the other side. Why are they here? Because Uncharted did this thing and it looked cool, despite it being out-of-place and is so awkward and slow that a normal pathway could sufficed. You can tell this game has been in development for 10 years because it has 10 years worth of spit-balled ideas that the director and/or design team saw in games at the time and put in their game. Then they left it in there because it was going to be more expensive to redo those things or because they had a massive ego and what they say is what the rest of the team does. Really, the main driving force for me right now is to see what other open world stuff they did wrong or weirdly. I heard Prompto's side-story is actually a pretty competent 3rd person shooter, so it'll be interesting to try that out and maybe multiplayer will try to salvage the combat since it seemed to replace the dodge with an actual blocking ability that may require timing.

You don't hit the button for a parry, you hold it down when the indicator pops up. I think someone already mentioned you hold dodge down to auto dodge, though this drains stamina. To dodge without losing stamina (and gain some if you bought the perk) you hit the dodge button directly before being attacked and blink through it. That said, yeah the combat is pretty clunky but I found it fun. My biggest issue is potion management for your team when in a tough battle, it really breaks the flow opening the menu constantly to top people up.

You're not supposed to face tank anything. You're supposed to hit and run. Almost every encounter should have someplace to Warp Strike to and from. Warp Strike to hit something, combo, use up your magic meter, then Warp Strike away to refill magic, repeat. Hit enemies from behind whenever possible to chain link combos and do extra damage. You also need to use your teammate abilities that use meter. I spammed the poo poo out of those and they helped a lot.

The Comrades multiplayer component launches on the 15th of this month. Apparently it's free if you have the season pass.

SE put out a youtube vid saying that FFXV pocket edition is available now, but it only shows as pre-register for me. Apparently some people were able to download it but it showed not compatible, might be a timed release issue so it may work later today. Going to be funny if the main story is told cleaner on the mobile chibi version of the game, it's supposedly being released in 10 chapters.

I heard good things about the beta. It's also supposed to have some World of Ruin story, I believe, so I'm going to be playing it anyway. It's only about 8GB, not too bad. PSN is being a ho, though.

You can get it via the pass or on its own, I believe.

Season Pass is 25 while Comrades is 20. Probably better to just get the season pass and get all those episodes with it.

From what I read you need a PS Plus or XBL Gold account to play online. Otherwise it has a full singleplayer component where you take AI partners into combat.

I don't play a lot of multiplayer games online but the hamster wheel seems real...obvious with Comrades. Since there's no real exploration and all the standard mechanics are introduced in the first 30 minutes, it seems like a pretty straightforward cycle of warp to zone, kill things, warp to hub, upgrade weapons/play dressup, unlock new hunts, repeat. Unless I'm missing something?
