All Things Video Games & Game Reviews Part II

[Gonzo]

Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.

Anyway, just a quick rundown.

Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.

Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.

Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.

Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing.

Just passed it then I'm pretty sure. You take either the elevator or the stairs to that part of the building

I don’t know much about the extended lore but definitely remember all the Tifa or Aerith debates from nerds over the years.

Jessie was a cutie in this one, once you get past the fact that she’s likely batshit insane. Upper class theater girl turned eco-terrorist. There’s no way that doesn’t end with her slashing your tires or hucking the Buster Sword off one of the plates.

Man, I’ve been skipping most of the dialog. I’m sure the plot points are interesting but the conversations are shit.

Yeah, the dialogue isn’t great. I blame the Japanese.

I’m about over Aerith and Tifa trying to be cute and Cloud having a stick up his ass. At one point in Remake, Aerith tries to give Cloud a high five and he did not know how to react. Like, dude, you don’t know what a ****ing high five is? Lol.

I slept on it so I’ve come to terms with it now, but I learned they don’t transfer legit right after grinding in Corneo’s Colloseum for like 3 hours leveling up my materia. I was so pissed.

I do have Intergrade so I’ll just do that once I finish the main story.

I’ve burned through this one.

Like a dipshit I caved when they reduced the PS Plus price recently so I’ve got all of their free games to play now that I’ve been waiting on. I’m excited to get to Ghost of Tsushima next.

I've been avoiding this thread because I'm afraid of spoilers but I'm 110 hours into the game and I'm just getting to the Temple. I've basically done almost everything I can up to this point. Finished Queen's Blood, Dominated the Chocobo Races, got all the Pirate relics.

I still hate Chadley with a passion but I can't just let some things go.

I'm pretty much at that spot and been taking a long break. Minigame fatigue is real.

I started Intergrade, but only to the point that I was able to save. Rebirth just needs to see a save file for Intergrade for the Ramuh summon materia. It does not need to see a completion or anything. Eventually I will actually play it all the way through.

Agreed. I wish the mini games were truly optional. I absolutely hated the Fort Condor mini game and wish it never existed. While I don't have to complete them, it's beneficial for me to do it which is why I wish it were different. I gave up trying to get the highest score in that stupid pirate shooting gallery in Costa Del Sol. Thankfully I can get the top prize later in the game vs trying to get it through that mini game.

I still don't understand the Gears and Gambits mini-games for the Cosmic Canyon proto-relics. I had to use the internet to cheat, which I almost never do, and that's how I found out there were preset skill layouts and that helped immensely. I have no idea how I won the game but I did win them.

Welp I finally bought a PS5, I know I'm years behind.

Yep. Most of it's "optional" but you're putting yourself at a massive disadvantage in pretty much every aspect if you don't do it.

Also, a bit disappointed at the lack of a few tracks. Plenty of entirely new tracks but I was hankering for a couple more remixes of Fight On. Especially an offshoot of the Airbuster version. That song ****ing slaps hard.

I beat Final Fantasy. 124 hours. The end is pretty epic.

You realize there's 16 of them, right?

I beat Final Fantasy 38 years ago...
