daaaaaaayum!

all Knurek wants is an audio cue when achievements are unlocked

Special K also lets you change where the cheevo pop-up shows, takes a screenshot where you unlock one and gives you info on cheevo rarity (both global and friendlist).
But yea, sound bite on unlock is the main one.

The developer of the Dungeon Dice Monsters (fan)remake hasn't posted anything in the last 15 Months. I suppose the project is dead.
Oh well, wish a commercial indiedev would pick up the idea and make a non-licensed version of it at some point.

I've played Final Fantasy IV, VII, X, X-2, XII, XIII, and XIII-2. The only ones I finished were VII and XIII. I would have finished X but my disc was damaged and the game crashed every time I got to a certain part near the end... but I was very close to finishing it(ie: I was on Sin).

My issue is that I keep trying to like JRPGs but I actually hate them.

I don't hate JRPGs, but I don't really like how a lot of modern ones are seemingly nothing but either interactive shounen anime or ecchi. Granted you can say that most of cRPGs are high fantasy inspired by Tolkien as well, but at least they usually have more depth to both story and gameplay and far fewer in numbers.

I really dig that forum with its members but that revisionist history bs about ffxiii is so great can fuck off. It's crap. It was crap. It will never be something else than crap.

If you really think it's good I have to remember never to take your advice on games. Play some good games! Play some good final fantasies! And no, xv is not one of the good ones.

 

[sprinkles]

Man I really want to hop back into Kiwami 2, but....
....so after two weeks of leveling a Priest on WoW Classic which will be wiped anyways in 3 months' time, what finally broke my resurfaced addiction? Hacking my yet untouched Playstation Classic with the Bleemsync OTG update and then playing 6 hours straight of Front Mission 3.

FFXIII is good, though ...

 

[Knurek]

It's a travesty we didn't get two best games in the Front Mission series (not officially at least)

 

[Ge0force]

but i have ... FFXIII is the best one!

I'm surprised seeing so much love for FF13 here. I've only played the first two games of the trilogy, but I didn't like the combat, story and linear skill tree at all. I prefer turn-based combat and more freedom in RPG's.

 

[Li Kao]

FF13 is fun

Which reminds me I got the best version on Xbox One X when it released. And that I don’t have an Xbox One X anymore. insert salty emoji
Come to think of it I wonder why the community never did something equivalent to what MS did. Maybe not rework the cinematics but at least put the ones from PS3 on the PC version.

 

[Tizoc]

FFXIII is good, though ...

FF13 is a mediocre (at beast) game with an interesting combat system, which is about the only reason I go back to it from time to time. It's combat system is like comfort food.
I'll just be nice and say; stop being a lazy dork and play the other games :V

 

[SRossi]

FFXIII is good, though ...

No. Seriously, no.

There's so much heresy in this thread I'm afraid we should request exterminatus.

 

[Tizoc]

I am dealing with it. Now you need to deal with the fact that FF13 isn't as good as you delude yourselves to be :V

if it's not as good then why is it the only one i finished, hmmm?!

CHECK MATE, ATHEISTS!!!

 

[Ascheroth]

Yeah, I wouldn't call FF 13 anything close to great.
Looks and sounds fantastic though.

It's like a 6 with 13-2 and LR being 7.5s?
They're all interesting experiences in their own ways though.

 

[Rosenkrantz]

The only way anyone can finish FFXIII is if they're sleepwalking through it!

CHANGE MY MIND!!!

 

[texhnolyze]

You people finishing FFXIII while neglecting the other FFs are just pure blasphemy.

 

[Parsnip]

I ended up disliking 13 quite a bit by the end, but 13-2 I actually liked.

Haven't played Lightning Returns too much yet.

 

[MonthOLDpickle]

I've never finished nor really played any FF, even when it was new.

Becauae you are too much of a lazy arse to experie ce the other games and finish them.
Your ineptitude is something we've accepted to deal with, it's ok pats lashman on head like a poor puppy

 

[Spamlynguist]

I've only played little bit of the FFIII remake on my DS, but never got too far into it.

Spoiler

I also have FFVII and FFXII but I have yet to play them...

[curi0usBystander]

I didn't dislike FFXIII but I didn't like it either. The game looked fine and the less micromanaged combat seemed and interesting idea. But that's all i really remember about the game.

 

[Tizoc]

AC Origins is CPU bound right? Because I set gfx options to highest and am only using like 50% of my GPU's VRAM but the FPS stays under 40 @_@

EDIT: Note to self, disbale FPS counter on Uplay next time.

 

[Ascheroth]

I've played 1, 2, 10, 10-2, 12, 13, 13-2 and LR.
Finished all but 1, 10-2 and 12 out of those.
My favourite is 10 and I have a soft spot for 2 as well, I found the progression really interesting.

[beep boop]

Does anyone know a good Japanese adventure game (not VN or hybrid, pure adventure game)? I remember playing Glass Rose a couple of years ago, and while it's a terrible game, it has a distinctive feel to it that is very different from the Western made games. Would be interesting to try more of it.

If you have a (3)DS or Wii I'd recommend any of the games by Cing. On (3)DS, you could try Another Code/Trace Memory or Hotel Dusk. On Wii, there's Another Code R/Trace Memory R, the sequel to the DS game.

edit: oh lmao, Glass Rose was actually made by Cing. So perhaps you've played these already

 

[nofuckinidea]

Only FF I played was VI (on the SNES Classic)

 

[Frecklestein]

Whats up, nerds. Possibly looking to update my 1050 laptop. What is a sizable boost for me at this point? pre-built if possible.

 

[Le Pertti]

Ff6 and ff7 for me as the ones I really liked . Last one I played(except 15) was 8.XD

[BO7AMMOOD]

I guess I'm doing it wrong, I finished a game today. RUINER. I had a pretty bad initial experience with it, and it does have some fairly pointless quirks, but switching to a controller and just focusing on the main quest sorted it out. It's a solid game, I feel like it's a bit of polish away from a great one, but it nails the aesthetic something fierce.

I just bought Katana ZERO on sale (what's with these deadly action games and their capital letters?) so that'll probably be my next quick romp.

Yeah Ruiner is really good. That fast paced gameplay and soundtrack combination was really enjoyable. Quite the trippy ending as well. Reminded me a little of Hotline Miami but that one was in a league of its own!

Hope deserves to be bullied though.

Yeah, I've played Cing games on 3DS, I didn't mention them because I thought that they're more of hybrid type

I think I also should mention Shadow of Destiny which is quite decent if short,

 

[DeejayDoom]

XIII can be a lot of things, but oh boy, the OST is godly.

Laptop or pc? For laptips, the current rtx lappys dont offer much of a worthwheil umprovement so best to wait til 2020 for the new nvidia cards.

Fuck yeah let's do this.

IX is too high in your list (atrocious pacing)

VI and IV are too low.
The former is a fantastic overall package, the latter has the best character progression in the series.

And I hate VIII with a passion.

 

[ZKenir]

IX is too high in your list (atrocious pacing)

IX is my favourite

 

[Durante]

IX is my favourite

But do you think it has good pacing?

[Alexandros]

If you had to recommend ONE Final Fantasy title to someone (me) who has played only VII and VIII, which would it be?

VI is a classic!
