I'm loving the Skyrim remaster. The melee combat is atrocious but the combat is still a lot of fun using archery imho.

 

[CiG]

I don't really see atrocious, basic maybe. Clunky and simplistic, but atrocious? Nah.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I feel like I'm swinging blindly at enemies. I guess it'd be better in third person?

FFXV in 5 hours.

I can't wait to get off work and pick it up, it's been ages since a FF game actually got me excited. Re-watched Kingsglaive last night to whet my palette.

I genuinely cannot fathom why you people are excited for this game.

You aren't trying hard enough then.

You aren't trying hard enough then.

Given the trajectory the FF series has gone, it's downright impossible for me to be excited for any installments. X-2 was the last straw for me.

 

[-CC-]

So you didn't like X? I'm super stoked for 15, but I have to wait til the PC release.

Oh, X was fine (mostly). X-2 was when I said, "Fuck this series."

XII was pretty good, but I love the Tactics games so maybe I'm just sugarcoating it due to the world it's set in.

The XIII games killed my enthusiasm so absolutely that I'm willing to give XV a chance out of sheer hope. Plus, exploring such a lush FF world in this way appeals to my sense of adventure and summons the size of kaijus is awesome.

 

[CiG]

Also, as much as I like FFX, it was linear as shit so I have trouble understanding how you see that game as the last one worth playing and then look at FFXV and say, it doesn't look like it's even up to the standard of X.

You'll have to let me know what the game's like CIG. I'm a huge fan of the series but my interest has died out lately. 13 was such a monumental disappointment and 15 has been in production for so fucking long that that it's been hard to keep interest.

Will do, I'll be playing it tonight.

I totally understand by the way, that's basically me also. But my brother is more psyched to play it than me so he's kinda fueled my interest along the way. XIII just made me actually despise the company, then the constant date changing of XV's release pissed me off too.

But after watching some trailers with gameplay, seeing the movie and watching the anime short series, I see that they're really trying to make up with the fans, or at least that's what it feels like to me.

Final Fantasy hasn't been good since IX.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

XII >>>>> IX

watched some of ffxv on twitch, looks weak. non-turn based rpgs just aren't my thing anyways

Even this isn't?

 

[rms]

havent heard of it, new?

 

[Talos of Atmora]

No, it came out back in 2012. The Dark Arisen expansion came out for it in 2013. It's pretty good though. Also, the combat for it kicks FFXV's ass by a country mile.

 

[Phylactery]

I've heard that the combat in Dragon's Dogma is good. I've never played it.

I'm also quite worried about how well Square Enix will pull off the whole open world concept with none turn based battle. It's a more common thing in Western RPGs.
