Your dream. My chaos.
CRank: 5Score: 84850

We see Link swinging his sword around in multiple ways, effortlessly, in sync with the music. Finishing his move set by jumping off a hill and into a green valley, which then leads to the sky where the game's title appears.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

And then we all take our first breath.

This topic again eh. Well, to answer the question. My wallet hurts.

Now, what one calls a true "JRPG" and how one refers to its "revival" "return" or so forth, is entirely opinion based. In the state of mind most people have, it's negativity central. So even if things are going great, people will still point and ask if it is "great."

It's kind of exhausting. Especially considering there's clearly a good...

Hm. Well that's why I love the option for Jap voice/eng sub.

However I've found that in recent games, the voice acting has been pretty great. Though there are times, such as with Tales of Zesteria, where I'm going back and forth, trying to decide if I want that emotional impact through the voice, or, the ability to watch everything unfold without having to read.

So if the voice's annoy me in Nier: Automata, I'll just switch it up.

Could use some work (more things to do, less fetch quests) but the actual gameplay is fantastic. The dialogue, movement, so forth.

Tales is a nice, consistent, experience.

Why thank you :)

I can apply that moving forward.

Remove. Personal. Opinion. When giving a critical review. The personal bias or anything of that nature should be left at the end if at all and shouldn't mess with the score.

As for general articles, single page - information worth reading - written well - personal spin.

I don't understand why this matters? Isn't it up to the game to let you know how the character comes off as? Otherwise its moot? As in. It's shown/explained/hinted at strongly in the actual game.

Them making a public statement about it just looks like a PR move for attention + word of mouth. That. Or I'm just finding myself annoyed with these articles that are making a big deal about it.

Like yeah, awesome, there's an LGBT character. B...

As someone who loved the game, I agree with you on the criticism of its flaws. The story is what suffers the most, painfully, and impossible to ignore.

Although they plan to add in additional cutscenes, I just don't see them delivering the final product that many of us expected on release day. And I agree, I'm sort of past needing more "bro" time. I love the dynamic between them, but it seems very, cut-out-paste-in for the 3 "episodes" featuring...

Oh. Believe me. I noticed. I've spent more $ on RPGs in the ps4's life span so far than I did during the entire PS3 lifespan. Easily.

And I'm not complaining one bit *smiles* it's nice to get lost in all these worlds, both western style and Japanese influenced.

And there's a lot more coming in the next few months!

Uh, no, no it's not. The only thing that's changed is now a console is more than just a device used for gaming (now people use it for Netflix and so forth). Exclusives still matter, and ultimately become the reason why many people choose one console over another.

For example, if an Xbox user is switching to PS and asks what games he/she should play? The list is long, because it's a list they didn't have access too.

Now reverse that, and th...

You might be waiting awhile. Since theirs rumors that they will be adding additional content that comes after the season pass. It's going to be a game that's updated + adds new content over a long period of time.

But if you're that patient, yeah. Might as well.

Gotta hand it to them. They don't lowball.

I have played previous installments and I did enjoy the turn based mechanics. And when I crave that gameplay, I can go back to it.

Ff15 is a warhorse that does a lot of things different. If you already know you won't like the game mechanics, I don't see how you can possibly overcome that small minded notion.

This isn't a button masher. If anything you're doing fast paced strategy while fighting. It's a hybrid. And while I don't t...

Quick Answer: Yes, in some regards, No, in others.

Yes: In terms of forming a bond between main characters.
Yes: In terms of graphics, quality of cut scenes (the few that there are)
Yes: Gameplay mechanics, combat feels incredibly fun
Yes: Dungeons, good good.
Yes: post game content (it's a nice thing, gives a reason to play after the end)
Yes: Creative additions (fishing, and especially the photo collage - tied into needing ...

I'm shocked. I for sure thought they were aiming for an E rating.

*grin*

This'll be a fun game! I'm pumped.

I avoid anything with their name attached. It's broken promises backed with broken games.

Masked by cool concepts.

I was thinking that actually. 7.5 at best for its current form. (7.7 in my mind lol)

If the story was delivered better, I'd say it would then entire the 8-9.5 realm.

Have to admit. This is a well written piece that explains the score properly.

"FFXV felt more like the movie adaptation of that novel; hints of the emotional arcs and amazing world building were there but never fully realized, leaving players with fast-paced action between the important plot points."

Well said.

Personally, I'd give the game a higher score, but how we rate something is always different. For a great game, ...
