i’ve never been into these games, so i didn’t follow the pre release or anything or have any info on this game. i just randomly watched an IGN review of the new game, and to me it looked pretty cool. scrolled down and it’s like 20k dislikes to 4k likes or some shit, all the comments are complaining. i noticed the cast of characters looks ‘diverse’, is this actually a bad game or are gamers just crying because not everyone is a white guy?

      in that the game is now full blown hack and slash rpg.

      They always find a way to fuck up what what supposed to be good rpg. LITERALLY JUST GO BACK TO DA1 YOU SORRY FUCKERS 🤮 🤮 🤮

      Also FF16 is fully hack&slash? I suppose it is still better than completely unplayable mess of combat in PC version of FF13 but regardless, welp, i guess FF only had 12 games for me (well 11, since one is mmo).

        With how popular BG3 was, I can see them going turn based next. If EA doesn’t kill the studio, that is.

          If they need BG3 to confirm the literal first thing that always was the base of crpg, they need to unfuck their heads. In fackt, unfucking the excessive action elements from rpg is way way way fucking overdue.

          Also remember how this same studio killed Mass Effect in order to make a fucking Anthem of all things? Sure it was on EA but i don’t expect anything at this point. Note how 2023 was the best year for crpg’s since early 2000’s and it had basically just 3 good titles, one of which very niche.

        I think the hybrid system of FF7 Remake/Rebirth is my favorite combat system of all time. I can see how people wouldn’t like it, but i think it’s great, to the pont where I was kind of disappointed when I played the 16 demo.
