I know the thread is probably tired of Far Cry 5 chat but I gotta say something. I just spent some time wandering around the woods with my bear.

Nice to see inclusivity with AAA games.

I know the thread is probably tired of Far Cry 5 chat but I gotta say something. I just spent some time wandering around the woods with my bear. We came to a nice little spot and I fished for a bit while he swam around. This game is very calming for me. Walking around in nature feels perfect. I love how they crafted this environment. The ambient sounds, the animals, the fishing! It’s all real nice.

LGR tweeted something similar, like "Honestly just having a bunch of fun fishing with my dog". Sounds nice.

Good for us that they went and shoehorned a lovely FPS onto the decent life simulator. Where would we be as a society if we couldn't view every event through the perspective of FloatingGunHand?

Anyway, real answer: it depends what you're after and how..acclimatised you are to old games. FF7 is real cool but it has not aged gracefully. FF9 has a lot of whimsy but it's also pretty slow. FF10/10-2 is a solid pick though Tidus might annoy you. FF12 is polarizing but if you love a good grind and poking at systems to make minor improvements you might well enjoy it. FF14 is a MMO so probably not what you're after, but it is a good one. FF15 is a great bro-trip that has some odd developmental choices as the game goes on, but it's a fun sum-of-its parts kinda thing.

I guess there's Type-0 as well but I played like 10 minutes of the PSP version so I dunno. The girl with the flute owns.

I really had a good time with FF 15, and I’m looking forwards to finishing it off when I’m done with FC5 and Yakuza 6. It’s really fun, though it would be nice if it explained any of the nuances to the combat system at all.

Every Final Fantasy is simultaneously the best and worst of the series, except for FFX-2 which is obviously the greatest JRPG of all time.

It is! I didn’t care for FC3 or 4 much at all but I’m hooked on this game for the balance of batshit insane combat + super chill hunting and fishing with pets. I unlocked the ability to have two followers out at a time and I’m in heaven.

That would require the combat system to have any nuance to it in the first place

There’s stuff like moving the left stick to change up what kind of swings and combo you’re doing, and spells doing more damage in certain circumstances or even completely different things if you use treasure items while crafting them that isn’t explained at all.

The real problem is that none of that stuff is necessary. I competed the game by doing nothing but button mashing and flailing randomly about.

The combat system is the worst parts of overly obtuse and so insanely easy that you're not required to engage with the systems at all

It’s more that they did a terrible job rebalancing it and added the stupid job sickness thing that actively punishes you for using the systems the game is designed around

There's a section where you can enter in cheat codes to unlock extra little modes like a Mario kart where you shoot copies of your car as projectiles or have to hammer the X button to accelerate. You can find them all online at gamefaqs or somewhere.

How's Telltale Batman season 2? I thought the first was fairly good.

Only about an hour and a half from being able to play Nier and I am quite excited. It has been a while since I was anticipating a game!

Of course, I have a sneaking suspicion I will get home and find out it has not downloaded or is still in the middle. :D

After owning it for a year I finally got through the Valkyrie chapter, only to put it down and play Ys 8. I expect to beat this game on the PlayStation 6.
