I'M READY! THE STIFFY CAN DIG UP GRAVES! THE 10 YEARS WAIT! THE POWER WITHIN!!

DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEJA VUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

mikeslemonade3135d ago

nope that's GTAV and GTAVI will be even bigger.

indyman77773135d ago (Edited 3135d ago )

First of all congrats on a article for showing effort in their researching. This is no 'one paragraph' click bait.

While it may not be the biggest game, Obviously if your able to play a rpg through in 40 hours (as square admitted) it is not the largest, or even big enough to be called medium size, medium would be 80 hours just to make the cut. But still it's longer than most FPS.

But, I would agree with it being the largest action jrpg adversiment budget. And the most important action rpg push, since Dragon Quest the worlds tree woe, and the blight below (which is good and should have had more money behind it).

in fact if Square copies that action rpg's fighting fell, and cut down on the long constant swarmed feeling you get
it could go from being three bad demos to one awesome game! (it's possible because it is the same company square bought Enix years ago).

But I'm still going to wait on the reviews. Square is giving this game lot's of marketing dollars. It will at least sell good at the start.

bouzebbal3135d ago

I doubt it will be biggest of all time but it will definitely be a big release, one of the best in years.
I cannot wait I didn't buy a ff day one since ff12

Hoffmann3135d ago

It will be Duke Nukem Forever all over again lol.

Kurdishcurse3135d ago

cute and dilusional comment.

X-Alchemist3135d ago

hmm there is a chance this game could flop, after waiting a decade I sure hope it doesn't but if it does it'll probably be one of the biggest disappointments in gaming next to NMS

Ricegum3134d ago (Edited 3134d ago )

Next to NMS? So you're telling me you have never been disappointed with anything before? Duke Nukem? Rise:Son of Rome? Assassins Creed Unity? Recore? What about Resident Evil 6?!

There has been a lot of disappointment but you guys always point to NMS as if it's the only one lol. Trust me, there has been a lot worse 😂

CaptainCamper3135d ago

Is it even possible to deliver after people have been waiting a decade? :D

ShadowKnight3135d ago

Same way I feel about Kingdom Hearts 3 but I know they'll deliver

CrimsonPheonix3135d ago

What are you expecting other than a good video game?
As long as you don't go into it with unrealistic expectations. This game is not going to cure all illness, extend the human llfespan, or make you filthy rich. There will be those who are new to Final Fantasy who likely won't "get it"
and dismiss it for not being a garbage ADHD call of duty find something to shoot type of game, but for those of us whom are into discovering a world I'm sure an enjoyable experience will be had.

Ravenor3135d ago

That high horse, it's so high.

dead_pixels3135d ago

I'm hoping so, but that supposed 20-30 hour story has me on the fence.

CaptainCamper3135d ago

I'm sure I recall them saying it was a 40-50 hour main story. Was hoping for an 80 hour marathon with all the side content :(

lucied133135d ago

you are about correct the whole thing is around 80 (took me 78) and the story is about 20 hours with no skipping.

https://puu.sh/suPjJ/7dd83f...

Irishguy953135d ago (Edited 3135d ago )

Heard about that, i'm not to bothered though, as that is kinda like...skipping some stuff you shouldn't skip. Like... Royal arms...Dungeons(from people who already have it..say these are awesome)...And the side content in general. Seems like some good side content.

Its short AF for an FF main story for sure though. I've heard great things about it though, but also negative in terms of stuff that probably should be there but isn't. While the story has it tightly bound to make sense..like..still! It should be there.

indyman77773135d ago

A lot of times in final fantasy games you get 30 hours from a battle area, where you just practice fight and gain items. other times it is a arcade game. Or a secret dungeon to get a special summon (thats the one you should not skip). Or a side story (and for me that is the second thing you should not skip).

pasta_spice3135d ago

I'm not too worried about the length. I beat FF7 the first time in just over 30 hours and I didn't rush through it. Quality over quantity.

indyman77773135d ago

I hate people that lie try to impress with the. I beat a game that takes 40 hours to beat with a God mode unable to die code, they some how beat it in 29 hours. At least you said 30 hours.

Irishguy953134d ago

DOn't be redicukus indyman, my personal favorite of mine is mass effect 1, doing everything, in less than 10 hours, Mass effect 2 wasn't much longer either...maybe shorter even possibly 7 or 8 hours, that was before Mass effect 3 came out so I rushed throguh them ensuring I had everything perfect/all characters alive, I was shocked how quick. FF7 was 40 hours with doing a decent amount of side content. Mostly I would finish in 35-38 hours doing multiple side quests or hidden areas, such as ultimate weapon, omnislash, Yuffie sidequest, condor mountain etc. 30 definitely is feasible. If you take 40 hours without side content thats your fault.

PhoenixUp3135d ago

I got KO'd waiting an entire decade for this game. Somebody toss me a Phoenix Down

Gaming_Cousin3135d ago

I summon Phoenix. Rain down your healing powers master

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.

raWfodog50d ago (Edited 50d 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.

NettosGameRoom50d ago

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

Relientk7750d ago

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

Final Fantasy XV Datamine Reveals Hidden Chapter 14 Scene That Was Cut

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

DivineHand125185d 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.

Z501184d 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)

TheNamelessOne185d ago

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

Michiel1989184d 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.

Cacabunga184d ago

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

Michiel1989184d ago

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

Cacabunga184d ago (Edited 184d 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.

CrimsonWing69184d 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.

Becuzisaid184d 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.

CrimsonWing69184d 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.

gurp184d 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.

Petebloodyonion436d ago (Edited 436d 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.

SonyStyled436d 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?
