I cannot imagine what the threads were like when the game came out. does anyone have back links? I can only imagine the cope. this is the shittiest aping of the worst god of war games. I wish I bought strangers in paradise.
about 70% of the threads were about fucking the twink and the other 30% were about how bad the game was
>>726066526>>fight 3 japanese faggots>cutsceneyou just described yakuzashit>I wish I bought strangers in paradise.funny how all the retards who shill this garbage didn't buy it
The boss fights were good. Shame about everything in between.
The least ambitious Final Fantasy...
>>726066526The story falls apart the moment Cid dies.>>726066920Crisis core story is ass and pretty much checks every single prequel sin there is.
This isn't even a good copypasta to post nonstop faggot.>>726067029I felt like all the main story stuff was good but the side content that they stuffed inbetween the main story was a real slog.
I remember just having a moment of sentience in this mindless slog while I listened to yet another boring NPC telling me to go fetch five Slime cores or whatever the fuck while he explained what an alembic was that what I was experiencing was actually intended to be somewhat entertaining or interesting on some level. This game is so fucking boring, lifeless and unimaginative that the very idea that it could even be intended to be anything else feels ridiculous when you compare that idea against what you're experiencing.
Square-Enix needs to hire better writers..Seriously what was up with Ultimas blatant Sanbreque favoritism? Oh and there's the Olivier thing that apparently didn't matter whatsoever...
like I've seen the illusion of choice argument made for those telltale visual novels this is like a fucking illusion of gameplay for a movie game. it's like the gook executives took all the worst notes from god of war 2018 because it was normie core crack. im sitting here just pressing square triangle X4 for the burst blast thing and then R1 teledogde thing spam cooldowns face slam them at half stagger burst mode or whatever at stagger and burn all the specials. do I at least get more move slots later in the game? why the fuck did they include a jump button? what the fuck did they think they were doing?
>>726066526>I wish I bought strangers in paradise.Stranger of Paradise is the anti-FFXVI, which means it's good. While XVI is polished and feels like it's ticking off boxes of what makes a 'good game' by modern AAA standards, but in the process just turns out a slog of a game that feels like it was designed by a bunch of trend-chasing businessmen, Stranger of Paradise is a game that has a much better grasp of what's fun and makes as honest effort to take FF mechanics and translate them to action combat in a way that XVI doesn't, and it results in a much more fun and engaging game even though it is clearly lower budget, janky and lacking XVI's polish.
>>726066526Just like ffxiv then
>>726067756>Final Fantasy XVI took significant inspiration from God of War, particularly the 2018 God of War game. The game's director, Hiroshi Takai, admitted that the structure of Final Fantasy XVI, including its hub-based progression system, was influenced by God of War. This hub, named Hideaway, functions similarly to the Norse realm hubs in God of War, offering players access to side quests, shops, and a "hunt board" for tracking special missions. The developers have also acknowledged that the 2018 God of War was a direct inspiration for the game's overall structure.what the fuck is this fucking bullshit? why is square enix so god damn incompetent
