I stopped playing Final Fantasy after the awful XIII
Yes. Outlast is out on PS4 now. I recommend it. Play it with the lights off and headphones if possible.Quote:

That's basically the last one.

Haha I forgot about all that shit. Your point stands. I've been out of that franchise since X so I kinda forgot how ridiculous it had gotten. People do seem to like XII though.Quote:

I almost got out at X too- but I stayed in for XII which I never finished (hated the open world aspect... probably why I never finished Metal Gear Solid V too) and played XIII half way through before I got so stick and tied of all the footsteps clanking down hallways. I hear it actually gets better towards the 2nd half but I couldn't stand it anymore.
It's a weirdly unbalanced game: the first half is overly linear, and then when they go to another planet in the second half it becomes overly open.Quote:

The more realistic the graphics get in these games, the more the dudes in them look like tossers.Quote:

I hear that FFIX is amazing. They released it on iOS somewhat recently, with higher resolution character models and a fast-forward feature (the pace of the battles was a problem for some, I think). It's long been on my list of games that I intend to play eventually.Quote:

By the way, more details were disclosed about Resident Evil 7. The more I learn about this game, the more optimistic I become. The remastered Resident Evil remake selling well and P.T. becoming something of a phenomenon may have finally turned the tide away from hulking, musclebound heroes disintegrating boulders with a single punch, and all of the preposterousness that RE4 ushered into the series.
I can't believe it's coming out as soon as January 24th.
I've played:
FF II, IV, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII....
Out of all those I've beat VII, 3 times and put in about 500 hour into that game.
Beat Ruby and Emerald Weapon.
Literally farmed Golden Saucer to reach level 99.
Bread hours of chocobos to get Knights of the Round
And Got the Ultimate Weapon.
The only game I hold at a higher level is Half-Life 2.
Loved Resident Evil 4, but yes, this will be a nice change/return of pace.Quote:

I don't know much about Eve Online, but found this pretty fascinating. I guess in 2016 I shouldn't be so amazed, but when they started explaining how the gambling underground is influenced by faction wars, perceived strength of leaders, etc--it seems pretty wild to me.
You haven't played VI? I played it for the first time a couple years ago on my phone and the nostalgia is earned.Quote:

I've never played an MMO, but what I've gleaned about how extreme and complicated the immersion can become is...interesting and, obviously, troubling.Quote:

Samorost 3 (which, despite being a sequel, was still designed as a standalone experience):

Gone deep into Fallout 4. It's so easy to just sink hours into these games. The Sim City component of this one sucks and I don't know why I'm spending any effort on it but I am.
Gittes, those games to me are perfect for watching but not necessarily playing. I'm not a big puzzle/adventure guy so unfortunately the gameplay oftentimes becomes more frustrating than enjoyable, but the art direction and music makes them stand out in a major way. Haven't played Samorost, but Machinarium is pretty scrumptious and Botanicula is actually the only game I've finished from that developer.

If the movie Fantastic Planet were a game, I bet it would feel and look a lot like these others:
