Downloading both now as I type, cannot wait to try out the improvements in Duscae 2.0 :D

Lionalliance4012d ago

the FFXV update is downloading very slowly, anyone got that problem?

WizzroSupreme4012d ago

I'm gonna have to try this agin.

Jubez1874012d ago (Edited 4012d ago )

Don't get too excited for the FFXV. It's the same stupid stuff to be honest. The battles are still unorganized chaos. The game still doesn't know what you're ACTUALLY trying to do when you press a button. The camera is a bit better, but there's still no need for 2 lock-ons (why is R1 a toggle? Is this 1995?). You don't know the health of the enemies so you can't actually tactically pick targets. You can't switch from attacking to blocking like in a well-made action game or action RPG. You still have 0 attachment to your party members, they might as well be enemies honestly.

Still a no-buy for me, unfortunately.

vikingland14012d ago

It's unfinished, a demo actually so I will cut them some slack. But if they tweak it where you say it's messed up that would be good too.

Eiyuuou4012d ago

I've never seen an organised battle (in an action game/ARPG) that contain 10 or more enemies. Chaos is pretty much a given at that point.

I find that the game does know what I'm trying to do when I press a button. I attack --> I see enemy attacking --> immediatly press L1+O (akward butting mapping though)--> perfectly dodged.

The Camera has been improved by a great deal. It is now faster and way more responsive. I have noticed that it can be a little glitchy and shaky, especially during the Chain Links (or whatever it's called). Also, it zooms out quite a bit in battle to give a better view. A nice addition.

The lock-on actually has tracking this time. You have the soft lock-on where you can still switch targets when you use the right analog stick, and the hard lock-on (R3) which doesn't allow that.

You actually do know the health of your opponent since they have a nice little health bar above their heads when they have taken damage and are nearby. If you want to see each enemies health individually in numbers, press the touchpad.

I take it you mean dodging instead of blocking? Since blocking isn't really an option here (parry is though). You can interrupt pretty much all of your attacks mid animation with the dodge roll. The automatic dodge is another story though. It'd be way too OP if you coulduse that during your attack animations.

0 attachment? That's like your opinion man. I've got some attachment already to this band of merry men, despite the fact that there's pretty much 0 story in the demo.

This is just my personal view on the demo and stuff. Everyone, feel free to share your own views on it.

Jubez1874011d ago

Well yes, chaos is a given with 10 or more enemies. But why does there have to be so many? It's just clutter and unnecessary. The health bars showing up when you hit them doesn't help knowing who to attack, and yea the tactical menu doesn't serve for much tactics. Have they ever even played a Dragon Age game? You can't even pan the camera around, mark targets, give orders, nothing.

For attachment, I yea I like them OUTSIDE of combat. But during combat, they feel like extensions of Noctics, not like they're own characters. The game drills it into your head story wise that Noctis is leagues stronger than everyone else (which is a meh plot point to begin with) but they didn't have to do it in battle.

At least in KH games, yea Sora is a God, but Donald and Goofy still had some identity (ie Donald is a Mage).

averagejoe264011d ago

What? They already said you'll be able to switch from attacking to blocking.

I can see the enemy health just fine. Maybe it's your ps4.

Have you even been keeping up with the game? They've already addressed most of your concerns and said they will be fixed.

This is an early build of the game and you're ripping it apart.

Typical ignorance.

ShockUltraslash4012d ago

Here is a Youtube video. They made changes to the combat.

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.

raWfodog391d ago (Edited 391d 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.

NettosGameRoom390d ago

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

Relientk77390d 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

A new datamine of game files from Final Fantasy XV has revealed a cut scene from Chapter 14 that didn't make it into the final release.

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

DivineHand125525d 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.

Z501525d 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)

TheNamelessOne525d ago

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

Michiel1989525d 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.

Cacabunga525d ago

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

Michiel1989525d ago

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

Cacabunga524d ago (Edited 524d 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.

CrimsonWing69525d 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.

Becuzisaid524d 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.

CrimsonWing69524d 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.

gurp525d 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.

Petebloodyonion777d ago (Edited 777d 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.

SonyStyled777d 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?
