Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.
Anyway, just a quick rundown.
Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.
Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.
Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.
Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing. [Reply]

You are probably right. Just sucks feeling like I would need a PC to overcome this. Would just be better if they stopped buying up developers and having them make console exclusive titles. [Reply]

That's Microsofts gameplan because Sony is killing them in console sales. [Reply]

Oh I am well aware of that and it sucks for gamers. I could see people just using a PC before buying an XBox so the gain for Microsoft could be minimal. [Reply]

It isn't so much that, it's that if Sony wants shit like COD or Bethesda games on the playstation Microsoft gets a cut. [Reply]

I’m balls deep into it as well, feels like a lot of button mashing for a FF game but I’m really digging how they made it all flow so smoothly. It seems a little easyish compared to prior versions but not sure, I do like the ability to retry with the boss having decreased life compared to the starting point. Makes it easier for a story mode but less strategic than the old versions. Strategy seems pretty basic however I haven’t gotten too deep into customization except for weapons. [Reply]

The game gave me some rings at the beginning of the game so I just equipped them immediately and moved on with the game without reading what they were. So then I got another item and when I went to see what it was I realized that the 3 rings were for basically super easy mode. One auto combos, another auto evades and another one auto heals. So I got rid of those and the battles added more difficulty. There's also a gameplay setting that changes from Story mode (easy mode) to action mode (more difficult) as well. There are so many settings.
I like that you can reset your abilities at any time. I pretty much have my build down now and I'm not changing that much. [Reply]

Yeah, I’m in the harder mode and haven’t used those rings just because the intro talked about what they did. I’m happy with the current difficulty. Had some really good close boss/hunt battles so far. [Reply]

Did you get to the S tier bounties yet? Those are tough. [Reply]

Yeah, those items/settings were in the demo. Gave me a good opportunity to mess around with different options. [Reply]
Beat FF16 a while ago. Unfortunately the game peaks well before the credits roll. For quite a while it was at a 9.5 out of 10. Ended up about an 8 or so. Still a contender for game of the year I bet but not the runaway I thought it'd be. [Reply]

It is kinda funny to see Sony complaining about Microsoft exclusives, since Sony is one of the worst at it. [Reply]
