Despite its neat ideas, it’s rather difficult to recommend Final Fantasy XV.
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!
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.
I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.
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
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.
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)
Ah yes; FF XV.
The beginning of me coming to the realization the series was no longer for me.
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.
At least FF15 had RPG elements . 16 was just an action game from beginning to end.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.
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?
I disagree. I'd recommend it to people who are interested in open world RPGs who don't mind Japanese styled games.
His conclusion doesn't justify the score
I just finished this game yesterday, and it's easily a 9/10. Its in my top 5 for the entire series, and its the most ive felt invested in a FF game since 10. "Reviews" like this are a complete joke to me.
"The combat has a couple of other problems too. Like I said, the controls are counter-intuitive, and even once you get used to it it’s quite a messy system" Never heard anyone say this yet. I've gotten used to playing Episode Duscae controls and the full game controls, hell even if the controller scheme is "counter-intuitive" you always can try different ones. I have a friend who plays with the Type B controller scheme since he didn't like Type A's one, but not once have I heard or read that the combat system is messy until now. Jeez man, what a crap review.
Sounds fair to me & what this trash deserve, that's what every reviewer would give it if not for SE paying for good scores or if the people who did the review knew what FF means & what elements an FF require to have most of all in order to considered an FF, you can't even call that turd an FF, it's something else entirely, I doubt if even those who made it know wtf is it... I would call it a Skyrim-GTA-DMC-Bayonetta mixed thing that end up be an abomination like no other, things don't look very bright for the next FF if we take in account all the trash FF SE released the past 15 years, those guys are a lost cause.
At least DQ kept the formula a classic JRPG must have, that's a game that respect the fans of the genre & give them what they expect, that's the new day1 buy JRPG for fans of old school JRPG goodness, SE doesn't make new FF's anymore for FF fans or JRPG fans but for open world/hack n slash Western fans, they ruin the series all in the name of money & the funny thing is that it doesn't even work, but that's what happen when you sell out your core fans trying to attract a new audience, all will come back & hurt them even more in the end.
