Well so far I've always held Japanese games to higher standards so this one is no different. It's final fantasy xv...yeah I'm buying it day 1.

PaleMoonDeath3240d ago

Almost everyone will, these whiny sods just enjoy whining, they buy every game they moan about anyway :P

NukaCola3240d ago

As long as worlds of Final Fantasy doesn't get delayed I don't give a crap about this one. I'll play it when I play it if I decide to buy day 1 or year 2, whatever

Gitgud3240d ago

you disgust me. you'd rather that chibi shit instead of the real stuff?!

wonderfulmonkeyman3239d ago

Your graphics elitism is the most disgusting thing in here.
Who cares if its art style isn't chav fodder realism? Won't make it a bad game.

NapalmSanctuary3239d ago (Edited 3239d ago )

WoFF looks like a mockery of the old school games and fans. If they wanted to go more for an FF9 look where character's physical proportions were actually part of the "fantasy" aspect of the game as opposed to this cutesy bullshit, that would have been effing awesome. There is real charm in that, unlike what ive seen of either WoFF or FFXV.

Gitgud3239d ago

@wonder elitism? jesus, pls stop throwing this tripe at me son. nothing is going to change the fact that WOFF looks like bull, gotta be a real fucking nutter too like that over FFXV unless you're under 12 which I'm assuming you're not.

Kyosuke_Sanada3240d ago (Edited 3240d ago )

If it truly runs great at launch without the need of a day one patch, I can wait a month or so

andrewsquall3240d ago

And the 2 very things that you just mentioned are highly likely NOT going to happen in November. But will you buy it regardless?

Kyosuke_Sanada3240d ago

If it needs patching, Ill wait another month or so for them to iron out the kinks. I'm never in a rush to buy a video unless it feels the developers really pushed above and beyond for my money.

NapalmSanctuary3239d ago

I gotta wait for a used copy anyway so IDGAF.

Koor3239d ago

I'll bet you, even if they had a launch date in 2017, there would still be a day 1 patch.

FallenAngel19843240d ago

A two month delay isn't all that concerning. Just a few touch ups here and there and no day one patches.

I'd be more alarmed if they delayed it by half a year because they were so displeased by the current state of their product.

S-Word3240d ago

No. It will be just as mediocre as FF13.

Gitgud3240d ago

how is it mediocre? tell me my son, because i dunno any game like FFXV and this game is certainly above average

Koor3239d ago

FF13 wasn't mediocre, it was pure shit.
If you watch the 52m video and / or played the duscae demo, you'd know this game can be GOTY.

Six Times When Games Turned Into A Horror Game

Ever play a game a game only to discover at some point it transforms into a horror game? No? Well Netto's Game Room shares six games that do just that!

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog54d ago (Edited 54d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

NettosGameRoom53d ago

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk7753d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.

always liked 15, but the development was shch a shitshow. it could have been so much more.

but Tabata did a good job with what he had regardless

DivineHand125188d ago

Ff15 was a missed opportunity from square as they transitioned from turn based to real time.

One of the issues is that it was 30 fps. The combat mechanics required precision dodges to activate Noctis teleport ability and it was difficult to do at 30 fps. I am glad they rectified that in FF16. The story and flow also felt like it went through a chopshop similar to how some live service games end up when they are trying to meet a deadline. Those extra episodes they sold as dlc should have been in the maingame.

FF15 is one of the weaker entries in the series.

Z501188d ago

Dodges don't activate the teleport ability. Teleport was R1 + O. Dodge was just the O button. Explain the Black Hood (the item that automatically Dodges for you)

TheNamelessOne188d ago

Ah yes; FF XV.
The beginning of me coming to the realization the series was no longer for me.

Michiel1989188d ago

16 was a lot better, I think 15 was just a big mess with how development went and all. The music though, one of the best in the series, probably the only reason I finished the game.

Cacabunga188d ago

At least FF15 had RPG elements . 16 was just an action game from beginning to end.

Michiel1989188d ago

I rather have a good action game than a bad rpg with 2 button combat

Cacabunga187d ago (Edited 187d ago )

Then call it something else then FF. I got scammed with FF16. Nothing of what i expected it to be.
Even the action is bad in it, especially after the demo section where absolutely nothing happens until the very end.

FF15 isnt a great game but it has some variety at least.

CrimsonWing69188d ago

That initial trailer with the Leviathan fight was the game I wish we got. The actual retail release was watchdogged to all Hell and while there’s enjoyment to be had in the game, it’s such an incomplete product and so many elements feel so slapped together without any cohesion.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I loved fishing, cooking, and the first third of the game, but I much rather they made a story that didn’t feel barely there and the the last third of the game didn’t feel so rushed and unfinished.

Becuzisaid187d ago

Every time a party member left for a period of time screamed future paid dlc. It was horrible.

Imagine Dagger and Steiner making the party go to sleep in Lindblum in FF9 disc 1 and then taking off to Alexandria by foot themselves, but then never playing their side of the adventure in disc 2 when they smuggle her through the South Gate in pickles, take the cable car and fight the Waltz, head to Treno and start the quest to find Supersoft. They just eventually reunite with the main party in the future without explanation of what went on in their adventure.

Or Sephiroth's backstory in the famous Kalm flashback being added as a dlc pack. Same goes for Vincent, Cid, or Yuffie for that matter.

Oh and anything to do with Jenova, the Ancients, Aerith, her mom and Gast, shoved into a 2 hour CG movie or 5 hour anime ministries that's considered required viewing for anything in the main game to make sense or have characters actually be interesting.

I enjoyed FF15 at the time, and finished it, but it's bright spots are marred by a bad development cycle and a worse marketing scheme.

CrimsonWing69187d ago

What’s sad is when I watched a vid on the entire story (that wasn’t properly told in the actual game)!it was really solid and could’ve been one of the most epic stories in any FF. I think a lot of the compilation and cross-media stuff really f*cked it all up.

gurp188d ago

FFXV was underrated in my opinion
I have played all of the final fantasy games, and I loved this game
turn based to me takes too long, I like active battle
the extra dlc and chapters should have been included in the original release, but it is nice that they fixed the game later

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion440d ago (Edited 440d ago )

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.

SonyStyled440d ago

Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?
