Final Fantasy X has some cringe moments, but overall I think it's one of the better told stories in the series. It's on my Mount Rushmore of FF games.
Isn't that the one with Blitzball? I quite liked it when it came out but the memory limitations and constant loading drove me nuts trying to play on PC. Perhaps there is a mod to fix that I dunno. Thought the ending was a little hokey but whatever.

Tried multiple times to get into 13, just could not. and the sequel could not get into either. Didn't play any of the MMO's. I liked 15 and 16. Weirdly 16 is what I was playing when I had my seizure that was my unknown brain tumor saying 'hello'. heh.

Spec Ops was always a weird one for me. People talk about how dark it is and are all like "you're not the hero" and it's supposed to be some critique of both the US and video games about war, but nothing in it affected me at all. At least not in the way the devs were intending it, anyway. Personally I think they are the ones who don't really understand war. I still liked the game a lot at the time and always recommended it to people, but I suspect if I tried to replay it now (still have it on Steam from way back then) the past decade of dealing with SJW/Woke faggotry would sour me even more on the game's message.
Nah I replayed it and it was fine. It’s more about PTSD than anything else.

FF8 was fine. FF10 was really good. FF9 is underrated. I'd say any "best" FF must be turn based. Once it got into action combat it started to decline.

when i played spec ops i got to the part where you
had to control the...drone or whatever that shot the white phosphorus. i saw a group that i thought was obviously not enemy combatants... and didn't shoot it. then it gave me a game over/start over screen because i didn't melt civilians and i groaned and rolled my eyes

Hmm well I dunno. Music pacing just everything was great with it. You definitely are not the good guys.

Anyone mess with this yet?



I tried it out, lots of potential. Its fun but a little janky, plays like an early 2k shooter, which isn't a had thing. Not many players though.

It is fun but if it doesn't get more players its doa.

Pretty nice moratorium on Highguard. I didn't know the numbers were that bad. Like 500 players on Steam within a week.

"Our diverse micro-transaction cartoon slop just happened to get a million dollars of free advertising, please assume this is normal."
"We tested our own cartoon slop on ourselves and loved it because we're so awesome. It only failed because reviewers made money bashing it for no reason."
"It only failed because people are filthy casuals."
"It only failed because it's a crowded market."
"We shipped out this slop after 2 years of 'work' when we knew it wasn't close to being ready, why didn't people lap up our unfinished slop and ask for seconds ?"
"Don't worry, we learned nothing from the whole failed endeavor."
"I just got fired from my diverse cartoon slop that bombed, contact me if you're looking for a HIGH LEVEL or SENIOR art fag. BTW I prefer remote work so I can waste time doing nothing without you noticing."

FFX is my favorite game (though E33 I think has tied it now, since they give me very similar vibes in a way). I give it a replay once every year or two still. I love damn near everything about it (except the fucking blitzball and some of those fucking ultimate weapon sigils). I do wish I could find a difficulty mod I liked.

Highguard didn’t flop because it was “woke”, it flopped because it had a boring game play loop, generic ass character designs, was built as an “e-sport” style game that wasnt casual friendly, and people were mad it was the final review at the game awards as opposed to a game they cared about
