    I (mostly) enjoyed Final Fantasy XVI but I am definitely on team "it does not feel like mainline Final Fantasy"

    I have very mixed feelings about Final Fantasy XVI. It’s a game that I loved at the outset when I played the demo the night before release, then liked for most of the first 10 hours or so, only to sou...

  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic FINAL FANTASY XVI | Prologue DEMO. on the Final Fantasy XVI board

    @kainhighwind09: To be fair this game spends a lot of time cutting away from your characters to various political scenes and it takes awhile before you fully understand how the world is set up (though...

    People keep saying this game is like Game of Thrones and it's not. If you want to see Square's take on Game of Thrones play The Diofield Chronicle, a game that I sort of liked from last year that's ...

    Anyone who can get today's game (415) from the first screenshot has my respect. I feel like these screenshot selections were much more difficult than most of the recent ones even if you know the gam...

    10 years gone. It doesn't feel that long but it is. I wonder what he would have made of the last decade of gaming. What games he would have loved. What games he would have championed like he did Co...

    @efesell: I have remembered the armor, but it makes sense you forgot it because A) the game is easy so it's not like you need an edge and B) the upgrades are all miniscule and never feel like anythin...

    @efesell: That seems like it's mostly how it works (though the thing you're talking about isn't actually for being locked into a sequence, it's for something that will change the world state) but it's...

    I have a lot of thoughts about this game, which I will write up in a separate post, but it is very weird in a lot of ways. The combat is decent but that's literally all there is to the gameplay, whi...

  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic What's the Greatest Video Game: Sparkle 2. on the Sparkle 2 board

    This is low, even for you. You reviewed Sparkle 2 without reviewing Sparkle 1 or even discussing it extensively! How are we supposed to believe that you can properly judge Sparkle 2 if you've (appar...

  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic Xbox Series X and Game Pass Pricing Will Go Up In Most Countries. on the General Discussion board

    I can't believe that Microsoft isn't raising the price of the Xbox Series X in Japan. Given the volume they sell there they are leaving literally tens of dollars on the table. TENS OF DOLLARS! I th...
