Sorry but if you are a good FF villain then you are shown to be the best villain in the actual game.

NovusTerminus2245d ago

Ardyn was great in the base game.

The game had a ton of problems, but I don't feel like Ardyn was one of them.

TheGamez1002243d ago

You guys are kidding right? Lol if he'd be one of the best, then it shouldve happened in the actual game. And even in the game, we barely knew anything about him. Of course his character would actually be good once it takes another 2 years for a paid dlc thats focused on him.

-Foxtrot2243d ago

He seemed alright but we knew nothing about him...hell even completing the game I'm still really uninformed about who he actually was, why what happened to him mattered, his so called revenge and the like.

Hardly no backstory

Wasn't featured in the game as much

Literally just appeared as the big bad near the end of the game as the Empire was thrown to the side, yet people called FF8 for this with Ultimecia

No development with our main heroes despite the odd "he comes and goes" moments

Him killing Luna had no effect like when Sephiroth killed Aerith, probably due with Luna having no development aswell

I could go on. He just was...there really.

pietro12122243d ago

Ardyn was one of the best things about FFXV, it's just too bad the story wasn't.

wwinterj2243d ago

Basically. While he was great in the base game this is indeed the content that should have been in the game from the start. Too much time has passed for me to jump back into the game at this point.

thepatientgamer2243d ago

Is the dlc worth the $10 or should I wait for the price drop

raWfodog2243d ago

I always wait for price drops :)

SoulClaw2243d ago

and that´s the reason why we don´t get more dlc, because of greedy idiots that can´t value the work of devs and think 9.99 is to much. from all episodes its the best one with the most fun gameplay and most cutscenes.

and you get a freakin awesome sword for noctis afterwards....it´s more then worth it and you should stop beeing such greedy mofucks - just sayin

Teflon022243d ago

yall are the reason I can't get my Luna DLC smh

pietro12122243d ago

SoulClaw and Teflon02
Yeah. that's not the reason at all.

Elda2243d ago

I'll get this this weekend.

Lexreborn22243d ago

After I’m done wife sekiro I’ll jump on this

Ricegum2243d ago

Your wife's name is Sekiro?

Lexreborn22242d ago

The way this game has been nagging me and I have been begging for more feels like it

Uglyday2243d ago

Square Enix is FF’s greatest villain. See ya on my App Store squenix.

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.

raWfodog11d ago (Edited 11d 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.

NettosGameRoom10d ago

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

Relientk7710d 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

DivineHand125145d 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.

Z501144d 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)

TheNamelessOne145d ago

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

Michiel1989144d 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.

Cacabunga144d ago

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

Michiel1989144d ago

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

Cacabunga144d ago (Edited 144d 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.

CrimsonWing69145d 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.

Becuzisaid144d 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.

CrimsonWing69144d 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.

gurp145d 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.

Petebloodyonion397d ago (Edited 397d 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.

SonyStyled397d 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?
