I wouldn’t rank 8s writing as particularly amazing but I think it’s solid.

It might be easier to like 15 when you didn’t love the other games. I’m not trying to argue, but playing a “chunk” of any game is not playing them. I won’t waste your time with my 15 rantings. It does some things well, but most of it feels like a Frankensteins monster of a game...particularly in the writing…

There should be more comments here. Ex plus a was a treasure of mine growing up. It accidentally got priced for $11 at software etc about 4 months after released. Ended up getting a joystick and damn near mastering the game. The soundtrack is a guilty pleasure of mine to this day. 

Im guessing you don’t know much about emulation then? I’m not trying to talk down to you but let me be a bit more specific.

Thats true. If it were a success out of the gate, Don mattrick would have stayed in charge and everyone's favorite game exec would have never gotten his promotion. These are all of Phils initiatives. 

3 still looks shockingly good. 

Honestly their ps2 and PS1 emulator for ps3 were pretty damn accurate. Duckstation on PC is even more accurate. 95% of shit would just work without anything needed. They could just open it up and say play what you want but your experience may vary. They would only really need to play test stuff going on the psn store.…

What issues did you have just out of curiosity? I played about 12 hours and didn't notice anything and I'm a tickler for emulation on my PC. 

You may have typed it, but you sir are no halo fan if you need an explanation. 

I’m not sure you’re understanding the point. Phat PS3's had unacceptable failure rate as well. YLOD and RROD was all heat related because they didn’t do enough testing. Sony also had a rough time with their capacitor suppliers for a couple of years. At least with MS they extended their warranty’s.  Look, it’s just a…

Wonder how the Touryst will have Series X features? The game runs at 4k 60...so maybe a 120 mode? It’s an awesome game btw if you haven’t played it. Bought first on the switch. I wish the developer would have made Link’s Awakening. 

They are so dedicated to this real time stuff. I love DMC5, I just don't want it in my final fantasy. 

That might have been true pre 2012 but they've been pretty hands off with their developers. That's why everyone is agreeing to a takeover. Phil spenser is a great leader. We haven't really seen any games yet from all the mergers started three years ago. It takes time for all these things to come into focus. 

Congratulations on not reading and arguing against points I didn’t even make. I’m getting a series X because I DO expect 4k, it’s just that I don’t expect that from mobile chipsets that run on 8 watts. Switch is a mobile that can also play on your TV, not the other way around. Ps4 uses 150 watts when playing God of…

The difference is that Vagrant story had such an interesting art style. I hope they tweak it yet. But yeah this witcher 3/DMC battle style...man...I donno...

I got the GOT vibes too. But I’m afraid it’s because square thinks that what “westerners like” not because they want it. The art is hands down the least inspired of the series. So while I’m rooting for them I find it hard to get excited about this one. 

Yeah, you put it better than I did. FF isn't a system seller quality wise anyways. It just feels like a middle finger from the company I have given a ton of money too. 

I was just saying to my friend two days ago “Would it be cool if 16 looks like 9's art direction.” Boo....I’m disappointed. I don’t like the art style and console exclusive sucks.

I’m shocked they’re going back to this exclusive thing. As a LIFE long player since FF2, I have to say I’m wasn’t even very excited before they revealed it was exclusive. My PC can handle it but I’m feeling like I need to remind square why exclusives are generally bad (at least when it’s not first party).

They had a price goal to match and that goal kept them at 10 gigs versus 12 for the X. The series S would smoke the X in real game performance. The S’s 4 terflops is far more efficient than the Xs 6.
