  I find that FF16 (which might now be my favorite FF just for the moments and music) is a game of very high highs and very low lows, scored with an insanely incredible soundtrack that keeps me listening and remembering all the best moments over and over again.

  I find looking back on those moments as so much fun really helps me overlook the plethora of issues the game has, the relatively boring exploration and side quests, the lack of party members etc. Those are all damning for many people but I find the game strangely refreshing, and I found the combat simple but enjoyable. I honestly think the story is serviceable, but Ben Starr really brings incredible life to Clive, better than the character deserved honestly.

  All in all, I’ll never forget FF16. so for that reason alone it is one of my favorite FF games.

  For me Disco Elysium is definitely my favorite of all time if we count it.

  If we don’t for some reason, then Hi-Fi Rush is an absolute joy of a game and I’ve loved every second of it. Very obviously a labor of love and far more gamified than Disco Elysium.

  Owlcat in general, despite their buggy releases, make absolutely ambitious and exciting games that are terrifically well written. Wrath of the Righteous is my favorite CRPG out there, and Rogue Trader is close to that as well.

  Not OP, but I also just finished the game. I had a lot of fun, IMO it’s a solid 8/10. It’s not the greatest RPG but it’s got decent writing, fun choices and mostly interesting characters. The exploration is fun, but with the way gearing and loot works it gets stale (luckily for me, that only happened near the end of the game).

  Hope the game does well cause it’s probably the most "finished’ an obsidian game has ever been.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do gamers encourage this kind of behavior?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah this is the sad reality of weeb culture. These are the guys who try to brigade something because a character’s boobs aren’t big enough (see: Tifa in FF7 remake) and are completely, utterly serious. And they don’t understand why none of us can muster even a modicum of respect for their opinions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite 1000+ hour games?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the $20 bucks a year price, right? If so, maybe I’ll give it a look when I’m a bit more solvent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite 1000+ hour games?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to do this so bad because I see cup of the day stuff and think “man that sounds fun” and then I remember it is a subscription (as far as I understand) and I lose interest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not that old, but I’ve been playing some Far Cry 5 recently since it went on decent sale for 14 bucks on steam and I was bored.

  I remember being amazed at how good far cry 3 had been all those years ago, and I know that pretty much every far cry since has been a similar game with a different skin and some updated mechanics.

  The whole “home grown USA cult” does hit a bit more interesting these days, but I honestly keep finding myself shaking my head because it feels like reality is somehow more ridiculous than this far cry game in that essence.

  Game is fine, I am enjoying doing the same shooting over and over as a little mental break . I feel like this game is a real missed opportunity not having a set, voiced protagonist. Choosing your blank, voiceless murder machine makes every cutscene awkward because everyone is just talking at you instead of having actual dialogue or growth.

  A lot of this games charm comes from the jank. But the magic system is absolute fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-reckoning, do you remember the original one?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This game has tons of issues but I freaking love it. Played it again recently and finished the whole thing. It’s great. Don’t feel obligated to do EVERY quest, just faction questlines and the main quest. It’s a lot of fun.

  However then new DLC they added with remastered is fucking terrible. It fucks up so much lore, is incredibly lazy, and just looks like it was made on a true shoestring budget. Not worth playing at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here are the patents Nintendo and the Pokémon Company are suing Palworld about, according to Pocketpair⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know about the legality of if either, but it seems so broken for them to have submitted these patent applications AFTER the game released, getting them accepted a few months later. That’s fucking stupid, right?
