When I play on console, it's because there isn't another option. I don't consider PC a valid option for FF16 at this time. GOWR had a targeted 60FPS mode and I think that was the newest AAA game I played on console. IIRC, RE4's Frate mode was solid as well on console. I prefer pc too but mainly because I will always "own" the content in my steam library and if I want to play 15 years from now I can without needing to repurchase or dig up some old hardware. PC games are cheaper too. The extra fps & better graphics is an added bonus. The only games I wont ever buy on console are shooters because fuck them sticks. It's a bummer that you feel that way because you are missing out on some gems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, I haven't missed anything really. I'm honestly not interested in most modern games I only got two games on my PS5, DeS remake and GOWR. A remake and a sequel. I talk a lot about wanting new games, but I guess I should change that to "make new games that I want" lol. Oh, and I have replayed Mass Effect on the PS5. So 3 remasters, 1 remake, and a cross-gen sequel. Haven't even played that many AAA games on PC either now that I think about it. Going all the way back to Sekiro, the only AAA games I have played at launch on PC since Sekiro are: CP2077, DOOM Eternal (10/10 btw), Elden Ring, RE2, and RE4. I did play MHW for the first time in 2020 and I bought Tales of Arise a while back but haven't played it. If you count expansions as new games then Endwalker is in that list as well. It's part of the reason why I am so, uh, passionate, about games that I want to be good. I rarely hold out hope. I'd rather be a negative Nancy expecting the worst than be hopeful that the game is amazing. The more negative I am before a game comes out the more likely I am to feel positive toward a game when it releases even if everything I said turned out to be true.

Well, that was a "fun" read. It is good to see how the comments under his responses are, well, not that dumb shit lol. You guys really don't need to defend SE even IF Max did get it wrong. It's like they just ignored that he played parts of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 This made me laugh. I hope the game runs at a full 60 as well of course, but that guy can't know for sure and it's clear that even Max has at least some doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 And for those saying you won't be able to notice, unless you are blind as a bat this will be 100% noticeable. Even @best3444 who can't see frame rate correctly would be able to tell. One of the most jarring things for me is when you play a game, like Destiny, and the game runs 4k 60fps and above then you get to a cut scene and it's runs at like 720p 30fps, it just sucks you out of the game. Now imagine that but every battle you get into, which is more frequent than a cut scene. SE goofed and this will be their Redfall. I'm sorry Gary that you got bamboozled into getting a PS5 for this game instead of waiting for the unannounced PC version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Yeah I heard it again and it seemed mostly good. Just a couple of people in the trailer gave me Xenoblade 2 vibes and it wasn't good in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I don't want to make that other thread the official thread so I'm posting this here. FF16 Boss battle gameplay featuring a boss named Liquid Flame. It's not quite Living Liquid. I'll put the video in spoilers so you don't have to see it. If you played FF14 you notice a similar pattern. Spoiler Man, that is some major particle vomit. And that precision dodge mechanic/animation that happens every time will get annoying very quickly. Can't say I like fire hurting fire either. Fight overall reminds more of, well, not DMC from what little I have seen of DMC5. Maybe more like KH or GoW+GoWR. I mean, sure, that kind of makes it like DMC, but I really feel more like I'm watching an anime version of GoWR than DMC. Which, again, sounds like DMC but whatever. Or like Code Vein but with more jumping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because ever since FFXV when they switched to active battles, they keep the other systems the same. So you're hacking away like an action game, where an enemy should have some hit stun, react and go down fairly easily but the game is like a Final Fantasy game that you mash on the enemy that has no reaction and soaks up the damage till you deplete some huge life bar.

Yeah I know about stagger, it works fine in FF13, & 7 Remake (Xenoblade 2 had a similar system aslo), but it works in those games because they aren't pure action games,. They don't require you to be on your toes and have nearly perfect reactions for such an extended period of time. DMC3 is probably my favorite action game and boss battles are like 3 minutes max and almost every action game I can think of falls relatively in line with that. Maybe it works great, all the previews have been gushing about it, so I'm still hyped until I have a reason not to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Having played most of the FFs at this point, I am happy with the choice of a singular protagonist. I feel video game stories are best when the focus is mostly on one character. I mean, this is the most common thing in gaming, but FF has a split focus on the party members often enough that I can say it isn't what I prefer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
