Wow eshop deals are always bullshit on the weekend. Clue 50% off? Come on why does Clue cost $35 to begin with. Why does Clue have a DLC season pass?!

Mario+rapids combat gameplay is pretty fun but the overworld "puzzle" sections are terribly boring.

ColdPie posted:10 and 12 are my favorites FFs. If you're interested in 12, get it imo. I'll keep an eye on it. It won't be played for at least a year, more likely two, so I won't buy it, even if it's on sale and just get it at some point (at this rate I can expect to finish FF7 by June and with any luck finish FF8 before the school year begins, because after that my free time will plummet).

FF12 has bizarre pacing, 95% of all the important plot happens in the last 5% of the game. Right up until the last act you'll be thinking "okay so when does the story really get started?" It's good though, Balthier and Fran are two of the coolest party members in any RPG

Right up until the last act you'll be thinking "okay so when does the story really get started?" Playing through 6 and 7 has made me realize that while the story is often just ok (particularly 7) the characters and their arcs tend to steal the show, so that's ok. As long as the characters are good I'll be satisfied.

To be fair, a lot of those old games are still really good Modern games are good too but a lot of modern games assume that complex = good I wish social hidden role type games would take off as something people play online but it's like pulling teeth to get people to communicate in games at all so it's never gonna happen

Duels of the Planeswalkers was great, I actually did the last couple threads for that before Wizards shuttered the whole franchise Letting you play with busted cards without microtransactions was clearly too much fun

Granted it's still all better than the 2.X slog (or is that finally shortened?) but it wasn't as good as Heavensward. On the upside, Stormblood being whatever just made Shadowbringers that much better since I blew through 4.2 when Shadowbringers came out since SB is when I finally took a much needed break.

Sakurazuka posted:It took me about a month starting from scratch to get to the end of Shadowbringers. Playing approx 12 hours a day lol It took me literally 1 year to get from creating my character to finishing Shadowbringers. Shb is worth it and one of the best FF stories ever for sure but it is a very very long journey to get there. I think my playtime was 300 hours - I don’t know of any single player FF that I ever played that long and usually 60 hours gets you the whole story and the rest is bonus endgame stuff.

Weedle posted:i like some old board games but clue and monopoly blow rear end. sorry owns though The 'great' thing about Monopoly is that it's designed to be complete arse. It's luck based, takes hours to play properly, there are properties that have better ROI than others, you can basically get yourself in an unwinnable position through no fault of your own, etc, etc. It's so so so so bad, and it's mind boggling how long it has endured and why there are 10 trillion different copies of the drat thing. If people want actual genuine recommendations of what to play with your family/friends swing by the Board Game Thread in TG Describe the type of game you'd like to play/theme, and you'll get an earnest recommendation of an actual good game to play. gently caress Monopoly.

TFW you make your board game bad on purpose to prove a point about capitalism, and then a capitalist plays it and says "this is good as gently caress" and makes a trillion dollars from it after screwing you out of the rights

chinatown is the best monopoly-like game because all the stuff that’s super boring and takes forever is abstracted down to a process of card/tile distribution that takes like one minute per round and the rest of the game is negotiating with other players to trade property
