Is the new Tales coming out one of the good ones or one of the bad ones?Real hurthling! posted:the last hour is a masterwork I did find it harder than the others. Especially early on. Even later with a ton of powers I needed to get cheesy at times. I had one fight in an alley against several of the tougher enemies so I just kept zipping up a pipe and dive bombing from the roof it took me to, over and over.

Started playing the campaign in Titanfall 2. It's good, but like Poochie, every time I'm not in a titan I'm thinking, where's my titan.

Minidust posted:The stingiest game in regard to trophies that I've personally played was The Swapper. I actually beat it without getting a single trophy. Now that I look them up they are simply labeled in Roman numerals I through X with no description. Probably some pretentious indie nonsense. They're just for accessing the hidden terminals as far as I can remember, I got like one in the first five minutes.

Did world of final fantasy ever get patched to run descent on a PS4 pro? It's on sale this week at Best Buy but not sure it's worth buying.

Would FF15 be a good first FF? Is the battle system easy enough for someone who plays Dragon Quest VIII?

Real hurthling! posted:the last hour is a masterwork I haven't even touched First Light since SS turned me off from the series. It wasn't challenging, moreso poorly designed and wonky. They went with the cheap "multiply the enemies and increase their power" to up dofficulty rather than creating different and unique challenges. It was a game I begrudgingly finished even though I was tired of playing about midway through. I dunno, I put it in the category of the later AC or Batman Arkham games, repetitive gameplay and low skill mini quests to waste time on. It seems they can do 2 or 3 decent games before dropping the ball and I feel like I'm wasting time without quality storyline and/or gameplay as a reward. Wow, rant over. I didn't even know how much that game made me mad until Insaw your comment. I just scroll by First Light in my library every couple months and say "na".

Housh posted:Would FF15 be a good first FF? Is the battle system easy enough for someone who plays Dragon Quest VIII? The combat isn't turn based and is a little clunky. It has more open world elements than previous FF games, and not really representative of previous FF games as far as gameplay goes. However, I like it so far and would rank it pretty high among the others. As far as combat goes, FF10 and older are more like DQ8. So if you want a good RPG to play, go with FF15. If you want your first FF game to be a quintessential FF game, then I'd start with 7, 6, 9 or 4, and the only one on the PS4 is the FF7 port. The FF10 remake is on the PS4 as well and is a decent game, though I wasn't as big of a fan of it as others were. So, FF15 is a fine first FF game, just don't expect it to be like the others.

That actually sounds very appealing. I liked Witcher 3 because I could just turn down the difficultly and spam attacks to enjoy the story. I'll pick up FF15 on sale for sure.

You can do that in FF15 too, also you can turn on wait mode which pauses combat whenever you're not moving so you can choose targets more easily.

you can literally make yourself invincible in ff15 before even starting the game. play the platinum demo first to get carbuncle, then play on easy and it'll pop up to revive and buff you if you die.

FF15 never gets impossible, the worst it gets is tedious. When you buy 99 phoenix downs and your group gauge charges while you use them. So even if everyone in the party gets wiped in a single hit, you can just revive them and by the time your done you can unleash a group attack. (Overwhelm works well here) of course you could theoretically run out of items, and it doesn't work on certain end game dungeons. but for the game and hunts it just makes it boring as a punishment.

You'll likely enjoy the galavanting around with the boy band aspects of it and the free form exploratory nature, as well as the active combat. The story is not the high point, but I found the rest of the game to be terribly fun, enough to sink in about 150 hours doing absolutely everything.

Fair warning, even as someone who can shut their brain down and just roll with a bad plot, the ff15 story really pushes that to it's limits. It's not even that the story itself is bad, but how it's told is amazingly poo poo. I loved the stupid game but I would never recommend it to someone on the basis of it's plot.

As someone who loved SSX3 and really liked the new SSX (2012?) and other entries in the series, is STEEP any good? E: thanks beanpole, that was a good review. Bums me out, cause it has good bones but looks like it needed a few more months in the oven to iron out some of its annoyances.

So how good is Dragon Age Inquisition compared to Witcher 3, which I have on my laptop?

Grouchio posted:So how good is Dragon Age Inquisition compared to Witcher 3, which I have on my laptop? And there we are. As a serious answer I know virtually everybody will tell you DAI is total garbo but somehow I stuck with it longer than TW3, which I dropped no less than three times by the time I reached the second map. The combat in Witcher 3 always felt totally terrible to me, and I think it's because Souls games are my faves and it can't compare - but it doesn't really try to. But, I can't get past the way it almost feels like the same sort of thing. DAI, however, plays completely differently while having a vaguely similar structure, so I could stick it out longer and kind of wish I'd finished it.

Grouchio posted:So how good is Dragon Age Inquisition compared to Witcher 3, which I have on my laptop? I played both fairly close together and came away thinking that Witcher 3 pretty much did everything Dragon Age Inquisition was trying to do a whole lot better. Bioware wanted to make their typical RPG fare while also cashing in on the open world craze but couldn't execute it very well. The result is a bad Bioware RPG and a terrible open world game that's a slog to play. Honestly The Witcher 3 isn't all that fun to play either but it has some decent storytelling particularly in the early game.

They should've included the post game dungeons in FF15 trophies. The no-item dungeon and the Pitioss dungeon were one of the only challenging things in the game.

man nurse posted:In what world are we living where Inquisition is considered a bad game One where severe repetition in both the quests and combat is considered dull? I've been checking out Stories: Path of Destinies and it's a surprisingly interesting game. I wasn't expecting much: anthropomorphic hero goes on a quest to save the day, some hack-and-slash gameplay, nothing special. What I got was an involved combat system reminiscent of the recent Batman titles, a groundhog-day-style storyline, and some actual mature-ish plot (as in, you get shanked in the back or frozen for billions of years only to have an expanding sun incinerate you, and a plot by an insane emperor to annihilate the world in a dark ceremony, among other things). I'm impressed, and plan to play as much of the game as I can to find out all the different plotlines. One caveat is that it can be problematic how often you visit the same levels again and again (due to the nature of the game), but the enemies consistently get stronger and more varied, and there's different stuff to explore.

Like if so, that means there's nothing stopping you from doing a ton of content in easy mode and post game content and get over leveled and kill the final boss in normal mode?
