I might play the remake of VII if it ever gets released.</div></blockquote><p> I'm kind of in the same boat right now, though I remained a fan of the series a lot later than you did. I was a HUGE Final Fantasy fan growing up. It was my favorite series for sure, starting with playing IV on the SNES when my dad's friend picked it up at a flea market for like $5. VI might still be my favorite game ever, and I stayed with it through the end of the PS2 era, though I never did finish VIII. XII blew my mind for the first 20-30 hours probably only to really fall apart at the end. I bought XIII not long after it came out and played it for probably 15-20 hours before getting bored with it. That's when I started playing Dragon Age: Origins, and I've basically never looked back. I don't know if the quality of their games has dropped or if my tastes have just changed as I've gotten older, but games like Mass Effect/Dragon Age/Witcher are what really capture my attention these days.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 <p>Those games have the grand whammy of gameplay/graphics/narrative. Imo that form of presentation is best to deliver an epic to a casual audience. There are very few people who didn't like the mentioned games (barring those who disliked the ending). I hated DA2 as it came across as a very lazy effort from the devs, and quite frankly I stopped playing DA3 early as I felt it played too much like an MMO in terms of generic missions/gameplay. DA1 was GotY for me but then again... that was a dry year for games imho.</p><p> </p><p> My gaming history didn't allow me to play FF that early. I had to play them through emulators around 2k1 or more recently. I always ended up with the underdog consoles [GENESIS - N64 - GC - X360 - XOne] but I was glad to have them nontheless. This generation (Xone) is the first time I really regret having taken this console, or a console at all for that matter. Aside from a GC I had everything else at one point late in the era (PS2, DC, XBOX), but no time or cash to get all the good games.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kn23m Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 <p>Maybe someone here is interested in <strong>GRID Autosport Drag Pack DLC</strong> (Steam code)? I guess not for full price, but at least for a half price? If yes, then PM me!</p><p> </p><p> <strong>P.S.</strong> You will need <strong>GRID Autosport</strong> to activate this DLC in Steam.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 <p>A adventure horror game, Cayne, is free since yesterday on GOG. It's supposedly quite good and quite short, so excellent for someone who's in need of an evening of entertainment. They made it free to promote their other, more lenghty game: Stasis.</p><p> </p><p> Finally finished Witcher III main and wasn't disappointed about the ending, unlike some people I saw complaining on some boards. It was fine. The expansion is great so far.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hive Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 <p>Finished Batman: Arkham Knight to conclude the series. Or, rather, I finished the main story - I couldn't be bothered finishing the Riddler arch and was fed up with the Batmobile stuff. I must say, it was the by fear weakest entry of the bunch. The Batmobile missions were a fun gimmick for a short while, but was featured waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too heavily in the game. To the point where it became a giant pain in the buttocks.</p><p> </p><p> The story itself was interesting at times and had some great elements, but ultimately didn't pan out too well in my opinion. Arkham Knight was a breath of fresh air and intrigued me greatly - but once it became obvious who it was, they dragged out the reveal for way too long. And while I absolutely love the voice of John Noble, he didn't feel right to me as Scarecrow.</p><p> </p><p> Overall, still a fun (but too long) game - but without the memorable moments of the other games in the series. Even Origins was a far better game in almost every aspect.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I skipped Origins, but I think AK was great, mainly for immersion's sake. I almost didn't do any of the sidequests as they seemed uninteresting, but the main story - though bland and cliché - was fair enough. But mainly the gfx and atmosphere was great, and that made for an enjoyable ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But mainly the gfx and atmosphere was great, and that made for an enjoyable ride. I agree on the graphics and atmosphere. But the Batmobile parts nearly ruined it for me... It had the weakest sidequests of the entire series though. The best one was probably the Mad Hatter sidequest, which was a DLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackman Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Well, that's sidequests for ya. They're kinda obsolete... for most people. I agree the batmobile missions were boring too. Not as boring as the dreaded Miko missions from ME, but if you played the game in one sitting (I advise against that) it could get really boring.

Blackman Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 If you want better gfx, try ProWrestlingX. Today i heard Adam was actually on the dev team. Anybody that can confirm this? Could this mean Cverse support. How awesome would that be... I backed it after the announcement but the version I played was VERY limited. But apparently its improved atm.

Blackman Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Where did you hear that? Sorry Adam, it was a wrong assumption (and wishful thinking) from my part. On their blog, they posted this: Welcome (back) to the PC master race, Fire Pro! The Pro Wrestling X crew, Mat Dickie, Adam Ryland, and Dave Horn’s Chikara Action Arcade Wrestling team have all been waiting for you to come join the party! As it's rude to talk in someone else's name, I assumed you at least had some contact or were developing the game together. Now that I've googled a little, they just mentioned all the players in the indy wrestling games field. Nothing inherently wrong with that.

Adam Ryland Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Yeah, that's a bit off, especially as I can't stand the Fire Pro games and had never even heard of this Pro Wrestling X game before now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moon_lit_tears Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 <p>I love Recettear. I have found a glitch though that sucks. </p><p> </p><p> If I alt tab about and back in the buy sell screen is white with a box to show the price but not the buyer or item. I have to leave the game and go back in to fix it.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
