Makes you wonder if this will scare Sony into not doing day and date with PC on some titles if purely signing up to PSN is too much for some of these people to handle š
This was so overblown aside from people in proper affected countries (so Iām not including them in this)
Yes pushing back on actual problems is good.
But this? No way complain when the game is broken or something not this!
these people better be off the grid and not sign up for anything, no game pass, no apps⦠nothing otherwise they are complaining about very little.
The game has some polarising nature to it.
Like the story and characters had potential but are very weak, and after 40+ hours of basically walk-sprinting everywhere and fighting the same enemy types it can get dull for some.
Yeah fast travel is too expensive, but I get that they want people to travel more so they really should make the sprint not drain stamina outside of combat this may help with that without breaking their vision.
Watching your character get winded constantly is frustrating.
It feels like the devs wanted you to be immersed by the world and not the characters actually in it really which unfortunately had the opposite effect on me but for others itās perfect for them.
The game is still fun but not a masterpiece to me by any stretch.
The only MT that bothers me is the the port crystal one as limited fast travel options is a slight hang up for me combined with the expensive ferrystones and limited port crystals getting around the map is a bit of a slog (so charging for extra seems a bit scummy), but fine if thatās their vision whatever that mechanic is just not for me personally.
The performance on the other hand is rough, itās just not stable enough.
Is it unplayable? No you can get through it fine enough
Do we deserve better for a full price AAA game? hell yes!
Knowingly releasing it in that state is bad, and should be called out.
Well this further validates my reason to wait and not buy at launch. I knew they would pull BS like this, and I doubt this is the end. Iām waiting for the fes edition years later
While I understand what he is trying to say butā¦no. After the first couple times exploring the map it gets old fast for me. And as much as I enjoyed Dogma dark risen, traveling and lack of fast travel spots made it a bit of a slog when you saw your quest on the furthest side of the map and you have to get there on footā¦
Seems like a surprising but fine placing, I got to the end of act 3 and couldnāt play anymore.
Iām definitely not one of those people fawning over it.
Itās very good but the combat⦠I hated it Iād try to avoid it any way I could.
The characters are great, the main story was very meh (the side quests were great though) so for me a mixed bag.
I donāt play many Ubisoft games so whatās the difference between Ubisoft tropes and an open world like Horizon they both seem to have a similar approach imo no?
Iām genuinely curious about everyoneās opinion as my only Ubisoft open world game I played was fc6 and found it enjoyable.
@The_Pixel_King in my opinion from what I remember of persona 3 it has the best story, and darker imo.
But yeah itās not complete, they remade the base version and not the āroyalā version so I definitely hope by the time you get around to purchasing it the that edition will have been announced š¤š¾
@RubyCarbuncle I never had that issue myself so may be a limited few, but that would have been patch by now as there has been many updates I wouldnāt worry.
If thatās the only thing stopping you, go play! have fun with it!
@Papa_Godzilla
Woah woah I just said it was decentā¦itās not great, excellent or ground breaking in anyway imo so I agree with you.
It was 1 part predictable, and 1 part half baked and rushed (in particular ultima)
But to give credit to voice acting again the voice cast did great with what they had to work with š
Itās a roller coaster action game (very set piece focused) there is definitely an audience for that stuff (plus the story is decent, and the voice acting and some tracks are excellent with high production values)
But yeah if final fantasy to you is a party of interesting characters, rpg mechanics, nice side quests and a world to explore with mini gamesā¦then nope this may not be quite the right fit for you as things will feel missing(as it was for me).
As its focus was clearly story and the action combat system.
But I can see why it is liked.
Hopefully they add more rpg elements otherwise Iāll give this a miss, just adding another summon is not enough really for me.
As more Clive isnāt an interest for me, Iād be way more interested in Jill, Cid or Benedikta back story. Buuuuut Iām not their target audience anymore so⦠meh whatever make them money I guess ššš
Ff16 should be in best action game not best rpg
As itās rpg elements are terrible and shallow BUT it clearly targets towards more action/adventure which it does well.
@Grimwood I hated the demo too, the only reason I gave it a shot was because of word of mouth and Iām enjoying it. The demo didnāt do it any favours for me
@roe if it helps they only nerfed three bosses I believe, and the one Iām on now the nerf is welcome because it only nerfed the first phase which had way too much health for a two phase fight.
I would have preferred just respec change and buffs to weapon types (like the slower weapons) but I guess these changes are easier to do fast.
In my opinion it's a 75 -80 at best, good but definitely not exceptional.
The combat is way to slow and dull at times (why can't I speed up enemy turns to X2 speed especially when I'm fighting massive mobs, watching each one move is so boring)
16 hours in and level 5 and the moment to moment gameplay and exploring doesn't feel appealing enough(maybe because I played monk and none of the armour I can wear and the clothes I can wear so far look bad)
It's selling point is its dialogue/choices and the character graphics look good.
With a lot of exclaimed games I can see the appeal even if it's not for me.(even ff16 and I hate that game) But this game I can't understand the widespread 10/10 praise I dont see it I don't understand why people are in love with it.
I really tried, but I just couldnāt bring myself to play anymore maybe Iāll get back to it later, but right now it seems like a chore getting through it.
I like BG3 fine but I donāt find it mind blowing, aside from the dialogue options and characters which are good. I find the actual playing of the game clunky and monotonous.
@Constable_What yup thatās what happened to me, I was expecting a JRPG and got an action/adventure game with a couple rpg elements, so I was disappointed for sure.
I lost steam on the game, fun spend 95 hours in it.
But had enough for now.
I may try rogue later as I was a barb main for my first playthrough, but right now Iām replaying older games (After an potentially unhealthy amount of rage at a certain SE game, replaying old stuff is nice)
Not a fan of mechs or AC type games in general (I think ZoE was the closest I ever came to completing one), but I know fans were waiting for this for ages.
