I’m surprised they confirmed the PS5 in the trailer. Usually if a console is hosting the reveal trailer, they keep that ambiguous, but just won’t put exclusive.

Also, that would have been a huge deal about a year ago when everyone assumed these unrevealed games would be xbox exclusive.

I don’t play sports games. But I’m surprised that they don’t shut them down as soon as the next entry comes out.

Omegamanthethird, 10 days ago

Makes sense. They want to make PS launch exclusives feel like exclusives as much as possible. The longer the delay the better (for them).

Omegamanthethird, 18 days ago

Isn’t Octopath Traveler basically that? I didn’t play it, but that’s what it looked like.

Also, did anyone play Final Fantasy Dimensions 1 and 2? They were literally that.

Also, Dungeon Encounters was a ton of fun. But it’s essentially no story, pure turn based combat.

I literally saw Animal Well for the first time on the sale page on PSN just before it launched. I thought about buying it because it looked good.

Meanwhile, I saw a ridiculous amount of hype for XVI every time news or a trailer dropped for it. The demo convinced me to pick it up, and I’m so glad I did. It sucks because it’s the first mainline single player game since XII (or maybe X) that lives up to the brand.

Omegamanthethird, 18 days ago

I’ve only ever played a demo for DMC and I hated it. But I loved XVI’s combat, which actually evolves quite a bit as you get more abilities.

Seems more like someone taking a picture of the food, and then leaving without trying it. They still appreciate the food, just not the part that makes it great.

Omegamanthethird, 28 days ago

I do not include XI or XIV. Also, I still haven’t beaten II, IV, or VI. But I’ve beaten the rest and some of the spin-offs.

Omegamanthethird, 28 days ago

I already bought the Pixel Remaster version. Maybe I’ll start it after next month’s FFV Four Job Fiesta challenge.

After XV, FFXVI FAR exceeded my expectations. I’d definitely put it as a top 5 Final Fantasy game, personally.

Omegamanthethird, 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago)

It’s definitely among the best and most powerful narratives I’ve played through. Up there with Last of Us 1 and 2 (although I’d put it solidly 3rd, behind those two).

The game had so many moments where I said “this seems like it should be a big deal”. It turns out the moment was tied to the movie/show/DLC.

I like xbox controllers for first person shooters and playstation controllers for just about everything. Some games more intensely than others.

I’m also going to take into consideration that Sony reversed course along with the fact that they tried this to begin with.

Same with trying to shut down the PS3 and Vita stores and reversing that.

Omegamanthethird, 1 month ago

Dang, I played a lot of THPS2, THPS4, and THUG. I always hear those mentioned, but not so much THPS3. Is it that good?

Omegamanthethird, 1 month ago

There are a lot of console exclusives that I like. I think an argument can be made that companies like Sony and Microsoft can add funding and support to make games better, sacrificing profits for console value.

With Xbox failing for another console, putting out half-baked products, and buying IPs instead of creating new ones, I’m worried that Sony will just start maximizing profits.

Episodic gaming as a format was the groundbreaking feature. It was supposed to be the future of gaming.

Omegamanthethird, 1 month ago

That’s a lot more gorey than I’d expect out of a Funko game.

Omegamanthethird, 1 month ago

Generally these decisions are made by the publishers. That just so happens to be Sony sometimes.

Omegamanthethird, 1 month ago

Oh shit. I didn’t notice the graffiti. Is OP complaining about racist shit getting taken out?

Omegamanthethird, 1 month ago

Isn’t the problem with Bungie that they made Destiny too unoptimized. If they had everything in the game it would be too big?

Arby’s had a better Morrowind anniversary celebration.

I agree. Hell, older games could be put on digital stores right now. The PS3 had a ton of PS1 emulated classics, and even then there were a bunch left off for unknown (or licensing) reason.

Omegamanthethird, 2 months ago

I’m a long-term fan. This game brought back a lot of good will for me. Between Dissidia NT, FFVII, and FFXV I was losing a lot of interest in the future of Final Fantasy. I’m glad they could strike some kind of balance with younger fans too.

Omegamanthethird, 1 month ago

The Eikon abilities get more expansive as you go on. Eventually, most of my combat was using the abilities as they charged, which kind of made it more turn based oddly enough.

I don’t know which ones you reached, but the first Eikon’s ability set was the worst in my opinion. Although I thought it was a good introductory set.

I would rip my CDs to my PS3 and used it all the time. I used CDs on my PS1 and PS2 all the time too.

I definitely got the urge to play Fallout 3 again.

With my 1Up arcade machine.

You asked why it attracts them. Which is escapism. Not everyone looks for escapism for the same reason. And it explains why GTA VI has so much outrage around it.

Omegamanthethird, 2 months ago

I’d be interested if it was cheaper or could double as a PSP/Vita.

Omegamanthethird, 2 months ago

It would have been without the proprietary memory card that never went cheap. I still need to mod my PSTV to make it usable.

Omegamanthethird, 2 months ago

The memory sticks for downloading games. I think the biggest was a 64 GB one that was like $200. But this was well after micro SD cards became super cheap and games were bigger than they were on the PSP.

While I did put some time into a new game last year, I like my comfort games that I’ve played a million times before.

Omegamanthethird, 2 months ago

There’s also the SNL effect. Everyone remembers the great games like Mario. Nobody remembers World Games.

Omegamanthethird, 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

Actually, OP very explicitly said to ignore bugs and was only talking about gameplay. Which is why they talk about extreme replayability being the requirement on old games.

I just realized you were talking about who i responded to, not OP. But still, they weren’t only talking about bugginess.

The basic mechanics of a game (eg. Mario) better be fun, and those first couple of levels better be fun, because that’s what you’ll be doing a lot. It’s similar to how the swinging in Spider-Man better be fun because you’ll be doing it a lot. But the it also has more complex fighting, side content, and a story. You can mess up a lot more while there’s still enough to keep it entertaining.

But people don’t remember the majority of games that were not very good. World Games was just a game that came to mind on the NES as being not very fun, but more importantly forgotten.

Omegamanthethird, 2 months ago

I have never heard anyone talk about that game, ever. But I remembered hating it as a kid. But social media wasn’t a thing back then. So I don’t know if it was talked about elsewhere.

If that was a well received game, I guess it speaks volumes about the rest of the NES library.

I’m finally getting into Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origins. I had a blast with the demo with friends but didn’t play through the full game until now.

Omegamanthethird, 2 months ago

I didn’t get into Final Fantasy until 8. So I’ve always known she dies. It didn’t do anything for me when she did.

However, I did feel like her death was a surprisingly long way into the game despite being disc 1.

Omegamanthethird, 2 months ago

Leaving Midgar is barely the beginning of disc 1 of the original game. Cosmo Canyon, the Gold Saucer, Corel Prison, Rocket Town and a lot more are all disc 1.

I have way too many games to play. My backlog is seriously ridiculous.

Although, it’s hard to imagine a PS5 pro being capable of improving the PS5 in any meaningfully way. The biggest upgrade from the PS4 was the SSD.

Omegamanthethird, 2 months ago

I don’t know if you mean the One S or the Series S. But either way, I’ve had every Playstation and Xbox generation. The Xbox UI is atrocious.

Omegamanthethird, 2 months ago

Did you play Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart? It really felt like they made that game to show off how smooth transitions can be on the PS5.

Omegamanthethird, 2 months ago

It’s a great game. Fantastic story. I’m glad Xbox users will get to play it.

Omegamanthethird, 2 months ago

Being one of my favorite games of all time, it’s always good to see Morrowind get recognition.

Omegamanthethird, 2 months ago

That’s what I had heard. I would have gotten one for a reasonable price. Or if it had PSP/Vita capabilities baked in. I ended up just getting a backbone for my phone and using remote play instead.

Omegamanthethird, 2 months ago

One complaint I’ve heard about Rogue Legacy is how the cost of stat progression increases. To the point that, for some, they find it difficult to make enough during a run to get upgrades.

The problem is that they tried to rely on increasing their stats to get better. Instead they should have tried the more difficult challenges and just gotten better.

I realized after starting a new game just how much better I was than the first time I played.
