@el-shmiablo Nice, give it a couple of years you'll be able to pay your mortgage off.

@themarcv
Hopefully the rumor of a Marvel Vs Capcom collection turn out to be true (X-Men COA -MvC2)
-
I'm genuinely surprised Square Enix hasn't done more with Dissida as a brand, there's been 2 fighting games (one 1v1, one 3v3, both Arena style) and a smartphone game (a damn good one from what I hear), but where's like the Dissida Warrior's game, the 2.5D fighter, or hell even the GASS type game (which for some reason I feel Avengers is a precursor to) It's a unified brand that pulls on one of the strongest IPs out there and it's only had 3 entries.
Also after seeing the sales success of the new Hyrule Warriors, I think Nintendo will probably let Koei Tecmo do more Warriors games with thier IPs, or even just Smash Warriors.

@paulmci27 That mortgage will continue to go unpaid. Never selling this badboi. Basically my favorite game of all time, occasionally switching with Super Mario RPG.

Now that I was watching EZA's reaction to TLoUPII State of Play and heard them saying ''This wasn't part of the Summer Game Fest right?":
Summer Game Fest was such a letdown with lot of whatever streams and so few hype things. One of the few times I got excited was that awesome UE5 demo I guess.
I prefer 3 days with a lot of packed excitement than whole summer with lot of boring streams. Hope we can see the return of E3 this summer instead of this mediocre attempt.

Johnny Silverhand is a dumb dumb dumb dumb name

Final Fantasy XIII is a good game.
-
@e_zed_eh_intern Bring it to switch so I can finally play it
-
@naltmank I'll see what I can do.
-
Since I was talking about this game earlier in another post I'll bring this up. The Final Fantasy 15 combat system is more fun than 7 Remakes. Warp Strike 4 life baby.
-
@paulmci27 I played a fair bit of XV and loved it and the combat was great but I never really felt like I had complete control. I have yet to play Remake.
This actually leads into another take I have had for some time: I feel like Final Fantasy should decide what it wants to be in terms of gameplay. ATB has always separated it from traditional turn-based games and made for some really interesting systems like 12 and 13 but since Lightning Returns, I feel like they have gone for games that look like action games but are bogged down by trying to still include menus in combat.
Warp Strike is so sick though.
-
@e_zed_eh_intern The Remake combat is great & is alot better thought out than 15. Its a great compromise between Action & Turn based. Just not a fun in my eyes.
-
While I liked remakes combat i do feel it's missing a few things to make it truly great.
-
@e_zed_eh_intern Completely, 100% agree. It's honestly what made me love FF again after playing a godawful one got my to swear off Final Fantasy for nearly a decade.
Speaking of, FFX is a terrible game.
-
@el-shmiablo Obviously Titus must be such a complex nuanced character it's beyond you're comprehension.

Speaking of, FFX is a terrible game.FFX is perfect for a lazy gamer like me, take as much time as I want during combat, no stress.
I loved taking on the Dark Aeons and the Monster Arena
Blitz Ball was pretty fun but goes against my lazy nature
Biggest complain you can't skip cutscenesI'm not a fan of hybrid combat, either make it like DMC style combat or go full turn based
My own hot take: People place too much weight on Story and Characters in Video Games (Non Visual Novels)
-
The only thing I personally hate about FFX that I can remember off the top of my head is The Highwood, getting all the Ultimate Weapons, and the Macarena joke they sneaked into the English version.

This got my upvote. Would have given a thousand more if I could have.

You could always vote/ unvote till you're happy.

To be brutally honest I'm afraid Life is Strange: True Colours might be going through all too familiar motions. The trailer just made me think "here we go again", which is making me believe the series is going to jump the shark. I didn't think Tell Me Why did anything remotely interesting besides what Life is Strange already did-and the less said about Twin Mirror the better-though at least with Twin Mirror there's an interesting spin on the familiar formula even if it was a failure.
