I kinda forgot about the warping and didn't find any additional weapons I should probably give it another runthrough

Josuke Higashikata posted:See, that's the kind of thing I want to see and the game should go a length to show you that you can do this and encourage it more actively. Given the kind of poo poo you can pull off in Lightning Returns, I wouldn't be surprised to see some harder parts of the game really reward that kind of play.

The demo's alright, but I could've done without young Noctis; only getting to play around with the actual mechanics during a single fight is lame.

So either this demo is awful at showing what the combat is actually like, or they've dumbed down the combat significantly since Episode Duscae. Hope it's the former! If I hadn't played the other demo then I don't think this one would have made me very interested in the game.

if the point of the demo was to kill hype with a really awful 20 fps romp with bad combat then they accomplished their goal with flying colors. I'm just gonna assume this was an old engine demo and combat will probably be better? can't see why they would dumb down what we saw a year ago.

well poo poo after being out of the FF world since IX (tried X wasn't my thing) I just went from zero to super fuckin hype at that environment trailer. like holy poo poo. it really looks like the ten years went towards building content rather than entirely being total project scrap/rebuilds

I run my PS4 at 720 (my tv is one of those cheap-rear end fake 1080 sets) and have an SSD in there, so at least one or both of those really held back on the framerate issue - I didn't notice anything aside from when messing with the blocks On the plus side, it's really pretty aside from the strong ailising, but on the downside it feels sluggish as hell. I may be spoiled by FFXIV's godly control scheme, but I'm frankly done with button mashing games. The ground targeting for the grenades are extremely hard to pull off, you really have to struggle with the reticle to get it to find the correct distance, and the marker of where it will actually hit places form way before function. The driving is also really bad, though you can hopefully chalk that up to it being toy cars. The turning radius seems like it's about 20 car lengths, the accelleration is worse than a first gen prius, and the controls need a lot of work. For example, if you want to do a 3 point turn, holding the brake/reverse button doesn't automatically turn into reverse even after a long time of just holding the button. Even if you're just moving at the slightest crawl, you need to hold the brake button until your fully stopped, then you let go of it, then you push and hold again to actually move in reverse, all while turning at a maybe 5 degree angle since that's the best it can muster. Sprinting is really meh, for the longest time I thought it wasn't actually doing anything at all until I finally noticed the animation difference, there's no real indicator or perceptible speed difference. After experimenting with the control it seems like it's a push button to trigger the sprint 'ability' and he keeps sprinting until the timer runs out then sprint is on a cooldown, but even now I'm not quite sure. Swordplay is at least decentish, switching weapons mid-combo at least seems to have good animations and boosts your damage, but the problem is that it's just so boring. I know ARPGs aren't really MMOs, but it really would work a lot better if you could split up your attacks with actual swordplay abilities like any class in FFXIV rather than just having a KH mash-for-single-combo system. Final fight was better, but it didn't really telegraph what attacks you were supposed to defend against, dodge rolling didn't work at all (did it stop being a thing post-kid?), and there was a sudden QTE that came out of absoultely nowhere in the middle of an attack. Sure, QTEs are fine for an ARPG, but the first one should have appeared during the kid tutorial section, not the first "real" fight, especially with such a short timer on the action

No framedrop during the first area even watching the summons so I was like "huh guess they're managing to hit that 30fps" and then well... I don't obsess over FPS but considering they said they were pushing to keep at 30FPS, it's kind of disappointing.

The car's name is Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang which, incidentally is also what the main characters do in it.

if they take more than 10 loving years to make what could be the first good FF game in like 15 loving years and then it plays worse than kingdom hearts 1 that weak rear end disney poo poo that's more than a decade old this might be the biggest loving waste of time in video game history if they gently caress this up which it seems like they are I dont care about your lame rear end phone game or louis vatton advertising or another lovely cgi movie or anime or any of that crap none of this matters if the game plays like poo poo

and dont say duke nukem forever either no one had any expectations for that so they couldve taken another 50 years and it wouldnt have mattered, it doesnt count if no one cares. they actually made a good world and likable characters here and if they waste those on some sub-KH garbage that would be a travesty.

Mr. Unlucky posted:they actually made a good world and likable characters here It's pretty hard to commit to either of these things without having played the game, honestly. The world might be visually stunning, it at least looks well designed in its centrepieces but if it's empty with little to do other than traverse it, it's not a good world. The characters might also be boring as gently caress outside what they've shown off so far (which is obviously parts they're proud of)

Platinum Demo is free but it's more a sandbox where you can test some poo poo with close to final mechanics/shine. Episode Duscae is outdated mechanics but a closer representation of what the full game will be and that's what was included with Type-0.

Nope, and I think the codes have expired even if you buy it new now. They really should release it to everyone, it's a heck of a lot better than the new one.

Sakurazuka posted:Nope, and I think the codes have expired even if you buy it new now. It's a better representation of the game but the combat in this one (once you get past the kid parts and all the poo poo that Square inexplicably hid/didn't explain for some reason) is way better. Not to mention the iron giant actually has a variety of attacks and can be fought without using a summon, which can't be said for the bosses in Duscae. I kinda feel like maybe later making an effort post explaining all the combat mechanics in the final battle of the demo, because it's actually really fun once you know how everything works and the demo just has the worst tutorial ever.

Not only that, but I am wondering if the combat complaints that people have are far less about the combat mechanics and far more about the control scheme/button layout. Assuming they are not already in the current version of the game, adding more layout options should definitely be something that SE can include between now and 9/30.

Not that it says it in the demo, but you can use R3 to lock on to the enemy with the reticle currently over it, and you will automatically throw it towards them. Speaking of which, I noticed it's less of a pain to lock onto things than it was in Duscae.

Well we don’t know that quite yet but director Hajime Tabata did clue us in on how many copies of the game need to be sold for it to be considered a success. Speaking with European press following Uncovered, Tabata said the game needs to sell upwards of 10 million units over its lifetime. This has nothing to do with profitability, however. http://www.novacrystallis.com/2016/04/final-fantasy-xv-needs-to-sell-10-million-units-to-be-a-success/
