Wow, I just watched this for the first time yesterday. A fun movie - I really liked a lot of the effects and practical stuff!

Sam & Max Hit the Road! It’s awesome.

I’m looking forward to trying out FF9 next. Gonna take a bit of a break, as 45 hours of a FF game are enough for me for the next month or two. I’ve been going through all the mainline Zelda games as well, just reached Ocarina of Time. So I’ll be continuing that until I feel a hankering to go back to FF.

Played and beat Final Fantasy 8 for the first time. Bit of an unpopular opinion, but I enjoyed everything about it more than FF7 (which i also played for the first time a few months ago). As a long time JRPG player, the mechanics were really interesting and fresh. I liked the majority of characters more as well. Maybe it’s just the fact that I’m coming to these games 20+ years later and don’t have the nostalgia for them - I’m not sure. I can definitely see why people loved FF7, though I’m not one of them.

I’d love anybodies thoughts on this and their opinions on the two games!

Yea, I’m not going to give them any money. Fuck’em.

I’m currently going through every (mainline) Zelda game and replaying them. Took a bit of a break at Links Awakening, but I’d have to say my favourite 2D Zelda are Seasons/Ages, and my favourite 3D is Majora’s Mask.

Something about the worlds in those games that really draws me in.

I’ve only played FF7 for the first time recently. I’m in the process of playing FF8 right now and honestly, I care about the story and characters more in the latter. I don’t know if it’s an age thing, or having been spoiled for so long on FF7 plot beats but not FF8, or what. 8 seems to be striking more chords for me.

Neither of those use the 2e rules, which are quite different from Pathfinder 1e.

I’ve not tried it, but I’m sure if you can connect a PS5 controller, you can use your PS4 controller. Look it up and give it a shot!

They sold to Full Screen, who much later sold to WB. The problem with selling yourself to a larger, public company.

Unfortunate, you’ve missed a great crew that found great chemistry after the pandemic.

I’ll be house sitting for 2 weeks away from my normal stuff, so I’ll probably dip into game pass and play it then.

There is, but not available yet. Look up BG3 Deluxe Edition.

“As long as it’s only cosmetics” has moved the goalposts from where we used to be on the matter. I completely agree it’s bullshit.

The Tales Of series has been bullshit. Used to be fun collecting new costumes from hidden events and side quests. Now half of the interesting costumes are either DLC or different edition bonuses which you can later purchase as DLC.

I just finished OG Final Fantasy 7 for the first time. It has definitely aged, but it was quite fun and I can see why it’s held such high acclaim. The controls were frustrating sometimes and it obviously doesn’t look the best now, but I enjoyed my time with it. It’s actually the first FF I’ve been able to beat. I’ve tried a few of the previous pixel entries, couldn’t get through them.

I’ll probably take a break this month and play Persona 3 Reload next month.

I got a retroid pocket 3+ for Christmas. Loaded it up with JRPGs, but this list seems like some fun games to play when I finish one so I don’t burn out on that genre. Thanks a lot!

That’s just an excuse. WB choose when to activate the servers. They could have easily put them online for reviewers.

Surprised this hasn’t been said more in this thread, to be honest. All it seems to be is Breath of the Wild and Soulslikes.

I’ve tried 3 different Monster Hunter games, I’ve really tried to see what people enjoy about them. But the controls are so awful, the loop is tedious, and I could never find anything good to say about them. This series truly confuses me.

Pretty sure they’ve stated Zelda games will lean closer to the two recent entries going forward, so those of us who think like this really can only cross our fingers that something resembling previous Zelda titles returns.

It’s okay, don’t worry. They “don’t really think of [their] game as fitting with any particular label”.

Tldr, the games director never referred to it as a live service game (even though it has all the elements of one and takes a lot from other live service games).
