Twitter is better than Facebook TBH. Less personal, more open and direct. Still full of cancer though but I can send a message to Mark Raffalo or Kevin Smith if I wanted to. They might see it, they even might reply, they might block me for being an idiot. Plus I don't have my family, workplace and colleges linked and watching my every move. And yeah.. Live Journal XD That is some Anime Reality and Myspace era shit

This counts ?

Also, why do American possums look like road kill trash weasels? This is a possum. 

I only have 4 games so far. It's a pretty short list. Plus I use mobile so it's usually set to most recent

Stardew Valley, Happy Birthdays, Little Dragon's Cafe, Super Mario Odyssey, Yoshi's Crafted World, Undertale, Chocobo Dungeon, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, Mario Party, Bayonetta 2, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Skyrim, Dark Souls, Diablo 3 (last 3 are just good to have on hand held) Enter the Gungeon, Catails, Golf Story, etc

Finally caved and got a switch. Only got Let's Go Eevee, Smash, Diablo 3 and Happy Birthdays so far but Zelda, Dragon Cafe, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario Odyssey, Yoshi"s Crafted World are on the horizon. And Animal Cross/Pokemon Shield/Link's Awakening remake on launch day

I work 3 jobs, just bought a switch and am going to the gym a lot. I poke my head in here and there but cut me some slack. There's so many Smash characters to unlock ?

There's a Discord widget thing on the right side of the portal lol.

Oh, fair enough

Also, I too shudder at Epics Launcher..>_>

Discord..? Is there a Center Dissy? I mainly use it for DGB recording ?

Should probably pin this and the mobile game threads. I'm surprised there wasn't one already. They're pretty standard.

Here is a thread you can drop your screen names, IDs, etc for various platforms. We do have the ability to add these to our profiles already, but a comprehensive list would be better so we can all add each other on whatever. There is a separate thread for [Mobile Game IDs] so lets keep this thread for consoles and PC game client IDs

Yep, like the thread says, this is a place to drop your mobile game in-game names and IDs so if we frequent the same free to play garbage on our phones, at least we can help each other out. I felt this deserved it's own separate thread as Mobile Games have different IDs per game more often then not, that said, the other Game IDs thread can be found HERE. Whether it's a list, screen caps or whatever, drop dem IDs below ❤️

One can hope. Especially that the additional DQ11 content gets released on other platforms eventually, even if as paid DLC lol

Oh nice! I'll have to pick that up in the near future


@Kyle
Yeah I know what you mean. I do still play Record Keeper and Dissidia Opera Omnia. I deleted Brave Exvia and that other weird 3D one they put on steam (And still don't put Opera Omnia, a far better game on Steam -_- ) I have been meaning to play through Dimensions 1 and 2 but i'll leave that for a blind Let's Play I think. Played Star Ocean for a bit but the rates are garbage and I got shitty and haven't played in ages lol

SE have the most fucked up priorities TBH because even in their mobile division they fail constantly. Before Adventure of Mana was released (ONLY on smart phones and Vita despite being the prequel to the Secret of Mana 3D remake they made) they had Rise of Mana which looked great and I was hyped for, but much like many other games they made, FF: Before Crisis, Chaos Rings 1-3/O and several other games they just let them die and never release them on anything else.

I really hope the FTC rules against all these shitty micro-transations because i'm sick of devs releasing drip feed content trying to screw people out of money. I would rather play a f2p game that had paid DLC packs that contained new content or just pay for the game from the get go. All this penny stealing shit is so annoying and the second its no longer profitable they axe it and the games aren't playable anymore. Its bullshit.

Between the mobile division getting focus and their games division flailing, I think that SE is the next company that needs a huge upset to get things back on track. They own so damn many Enix, Taito, Eidos, etc IPs and do nothing with them. They've just clung to a few series and push them like crazy and still aren't satisfied. I think that first Tomb Raider retcon, which was a great game btw, shipped like 3 million units or something and Square called it a commercial failure. It's nuts.

I just hope whatever bullshit shady Konami-ish corporate influence disappears soon because I want more games that rule. That said, we're getting an FF7 remake with rumors of an FF8 remake, got a Mana remake and a prequel remake with Seiken Densetsu 3 to get a remake in the future. Tomb Raider got a sequel..I want new Xenogears, Chrono Trigger, etc and a god damn Lufia/Soul Blazer collection and Square to stop making Dragon Quest a soft Nintendo exclusive. I mean they remade Dragon Quest 1 - 3 for IOS and Android only? And then remade 4-6 for 3DS only and then only ported them to IOS/Android. Its super shitty considering that Dragon Quest gained traction again after 8 was released on PS2.. 

I dunno man.. I just hope Square sort their shit out. I know so many people that have just given up on them, but I hold hope for the series I love at least. Still, Fromsoft and Bamco are my favourite devs now. Souls and Tales haven't really deviated much and continue to produce better and better games ❤️

Also, people hadn't paid for the canceled DLC. There was no pre-order for it or anything. It was a new "season" and none of it is/was part of the original DLC season pass thing. I don't think the Windows version comes with the Ardyn DLC either now that I think about it.

 

Nope!

I would be a little more butthurt if I didn't now know Comrades is a permanent part of the Windows edition as that kinda makes up for it but it seems kinda shit to just cut the secondary season bass to sell alone off DLC. Like if they're not going to complete the other 3, there is really is no other season..Season passes piss me off anyways. I'd rather them charge $10-15 more and it just be ALL the DLC. Still with Comrades included it would have brought the seasons to 4 DLCs each which is pretty damn good.. or would have been if the last 3 ever got made

Yeah Square with the way they're going are going to be screwed when Nomura leaves or dies. Really they should have up and comers working with and under him as apprentices for the future of the company./ I always preferred his character designs to Amano's. In fact, when I finally get around to Let's Playing 6, I have it modded with 'A World Reborn' which fixes the ugly art, character sprites and a lot more. I considered doing a hybrid Nomura/Amano build but I have since resigned myself. I fucking hate shit shitty androgenous elf designs for even the manliest characters. They're fine for logos but not much else. Probably an unpopular opinion XD
 

Sorry to hear about your dad man. Been surrounded by a fair bit of death myself so I know how that can really shake you mentally and put strain on you for a long time.
Everything else (aside from being itchy) sound great though I'm trying to learn to drive through my anxiety too so don't feel to bad about being late. I'm a few years older than you my dude XD

There is never too many video games

Ultros IS the best XD

Yeah, I can agree with all of that. I really wouldn't have minded them push it back 2 years so they could actually complete it. Bailing right at the end when people had already paid for already announced DLC was truly poor form. Even with the director gone, he would have had plans and someone could have and should have taken over. It makes me worry for how they intend to make FF7RE episodic but there is a lot that worries me about that, using the battle system of FF15 being one of them (I wouldn't have minded something similar to FF12's TBH to pace up battles)

With the way the game has been butchered, you'd think with all the profits Square made on it, they'd want to patch it up as much as possible so it's at least remembered as complete in the history books. That said though, apparently, Windows Edition comes with Comrades permanently built in and just gets all the extra content and bosses free so i'll probably just replay it on Steam. At least then I can rock 4k and playing it from the beginning see all the new scenes in a more complete sense. Maybe knowing what I already know i'll pick up on things that weren't eluded to properly at launch or added in later.

I do genuinely like a lot of the story and characters. Like most characters actually. Prompto, Ignis, Gladiolus, Iris, Aranea, Noctis, Regis, Lunafreya, etc.. they were all great, though Gladiolus' hate boner for Noct in the later game got old fast. It was just launched half baked as a cash grab and suffered for that and it sucks. It does make me look forward to FF16 though and cross my fingers that the Agni's Philosophy 2012 tech demo becomes a full game ❤️

I feel like with better guidance, the game could have been steered in a better way. Everything was too abrupt or not abrupt enough. Even Ignis being blinded was like a random mistake at the end of the game and now your bud is permanently blind and everyone hates you for it. So much stuff like that just missed the mark. It could have been executed better and more dramatically and maybe not had friendly AI switch from happy go lucky voice lines to pure disdain forever from there on lol. I fucking hated that whole no weapons jump scare part too. Completely shitty. It would have been fine but if they cut it by 2/3rds of the time it took to complete. It was too long with too many similar corridors with too many shitty magitech knights. It was cool seeing them up close but 15 minutes in that shit was tiresome. An hour and a half later I was completely over it and for it all to end with randomly being trapped in a crystal with all your tired and injured buddies just left there with demons approaching was whack. 

I loved the first half so much..What happened? It's a shame they never made the events of the Platinum demo part of the actual game too. I feel like these days Square blows half the budget on pretty androgynous main characters and markets them like crazy without having much cool stuff to back them up.  They did it with 13 as well. There were toys, apparel, statues everywhere at launch and everyone that liked it, they liked it just because, but then a ways into the game many gave up. I had two friends who bought the collectors edition just give half of it away and they hate the game now. I don't mind it, like 15 it had its flaws (and I scored a free CE hardcover guide) but they need to market the story, not the characters. The story needs to matter. It's why FF7, 8 and 9 were great. 10 started to get rocking with a lot of "just because" shit. Like Tidus being the dream of Bahamut from 1000 years ago sucked into the past by sin, a creature that exists because yu yevon wants to maintain a cycle of death and feed off the dead and in the end after everything is set right Tidus high fives his dad and stops existing and FUCKING WHAT?! 12 had it going back to meaningful story then 13 came along and retconned their story twice til hardly anyone cared. Square need to cut that shit out lol

Fuck I could rant about this shit forever XD

Hey dude, it's been awhile. What happened to your spork avatar? ?

I was wondering if we wanted to do that here or keep that at the Center.  If we do it here, well, it is going to have to be a LOT more relaxed than it has been in the past.

 

HI!

 

Well if people aren't being cunts to each other, and we aren't, i'd say it would be a lot more chilled.  Plus there are different people here and at The Center. We should do it here too because I cbf going over to the old west to get a fix but if it were here I probably would ?

Sup Hojo! ❤️

Does Old School not Mafia?

Hahaha! I realize that when I am writing about this I come off as snarky as possible and I am doing it on purpose because I find it hilarious. Something about that level of passionate butthurt is fun to write and retarded to read back to one's self. To be honest I really just wish they took the KingsGlaive movie, the anime, that shitty Beat Em Up game and just make it a two-part game with the amalgamation of the aforementioned being something of a prequel to Noctic's tale. Noctis dying to save the world would go from being anti-climactic to crazy climactic if we had all the necessary back story to build up to the moment. Instead we got snipits and after thoughts and I know I wasn't the only one going "Um, what? WHAT?!"

For as much as I bitch about 15, I like as much as I hate. I look back on a lot of it fondly and genuinely will be playing it again soon. I bought the Windows version awhile ago. Sucks that Comrades got axed though apparently, it might come to PC later down the line after the kinks are worked out (though I won't hold my breath) Just Ardyn.. In the beginning I liked him, at the end I hated him and now there is a DLC and I might as well play it since I own it already and I hope it makes me neutral or even pro-Ardyn. It's fine he didn't give a shit if Noctis knew anything but as the player playing as Noctis, I wanted to know why he was acting like a god damn spaz.  That's what foreshadowing and end game villainous speeches are for and it's fine that he broke the mold on that but it shouldn't be up to movies and DLC released years after the fact to help me understand the motives of such an important character. At least give me scenes from the perspectives of other characters having flashbacks or something.

I truly wish Ravus and Aranea had more of a role in game and were subordinants to Ardyn because in some way his plan appealed to their motivations. Half my problem is the "just because" mentality that has seemed to be prevalent in Final Fantasy games since 13.  I care and want to know why shit happens and for it to matter. To be honest, all this talking about it will probably make me go and play Episode Ardyn now. Also I didn't know Ignis' DLC changed the ending. I thought it would just be about him discovering a new recipe a hundred more times and in a way.. I hoped it would be I will always remember how good the first half of 15 felt. It was too care free sure but it was great while it lasted having a huge open world like that to enjoy. They should have milked it for a lot longer. I think then it wouldn't have felt so abrupt. And maybe cut out 3 of the shorter chapters and just have them as 1 chapter. That shit felt like artifical "See our game is long" bullshit.

And yeah same, I missed it too ❤️ Hardly anyone knows as much about FF than you do and for as much of a dick I am about things I do think about things from your perspective. I have weird biases and sometimes I feed them on purpose XD Like Ardyns hat..I hated it. He car was sweet though. It shouldn't have anything to do with his character yet I think about both those things every time I see his smug ass face knowing that behind it is a guy who gave up a long time ago yet still has enough motivation to take over the world he no longer wishes to save and..and.. i'm ranting again.  All I know is Arenea is bae and I would have loved a girl power team up set before Luna gets shivved.

I like Ardyn more then I like Seymour but I like him far less then I like Vayne. And I fucking love Kuja and I don't know why, I just do XD And Jecht. Why do I like Jecht? I feel like I should dislike him more then I do. I like him WAY MORE then I like Tidus XD Give me a FF10-3 with young Braska, Auron and Jecht. I would play that shit

The place wouldn't feel like home without Nick. Welcome back

Its opposite zombie rules. Stay in the cities. Never leave the cities.

I dunno, even without Jenova Sephiroth is good at killing and stabbing people. He mops the floor with most places he visited. Attributing his success only to Jenova is like attributing Ardyn's success only to the daemons trapped within him.

Nevertheless, Noctic dying in the end makes the story of 15 and Ardyn even more unlikable. You're repeatedly told you're being groomed to be a king but in reality, you're being groomed to die as the last of your line. Your friends, fiance, father.. they all die because Ardyn has a hate boner from years ago when he was supposed to take over as king and is essentially having a super drawn out temper tantrum. Sure its one of those shitty moments in animes where the villain puts the protagonist in a situation where he knows the same pain as he does, but like in the vast majority of those stories, the hero answers back with "Yeah, but i'm not a cunt tho" and kills him. Most of the shit Ardyn is whining about Noctis is totally ignorant to. Ardyn giving a summary here and there doesn't mean Noctis learns anything. All he learns is "Wait, so i'm not going to be a king and I have to die to defeat this asshole who killed everyone I cared about ensuring no 'good' ending? Well everything is fucked anyway" *suicides* There is nothing great or deep about that. It's pompous bullshit. Frankly I would have appreciated it more if Ardyn was more vocal about his disdain because it was a classic 'sins of the father' moment and really, I would have preferred senseless killing from someone who stopped caring than someone gathering up all their salt and crushing people who have little to no clue over why he's mad with it. It's fine for us as the player and maybe the DLC will make it feel less shitty, but i've already finished the game so they're going to be doing patchwork on a sunken ship already.

there was a lot I liked about FF15 but the many things I didn't like, I still don't like. Ardyn is one of them. Cool you like him for legit reasons, but as it stands I don't. You'd think being granted immortality that he'd set his sights a little higher than killing his brother's descendants or grooming a child to be like him only to kill him rending it all pointless once he understands and is killed or, sacrifices himself and ends the lineage altogether. No one gets to play king anymore. Waah! Fucking stupid.

I would have rathered have the beginning section just have a shit tonne of hunts and the game end at Leviathan. Have Ardyn kill Luna and then in a rage Noct kill Ardyn and then have to rationalize all the killing to himself but his bros not die. I mean in the normal ending it's like cool, the endless night is gone. Maybe the remnants of humanity gets to live..but we'll never know. Oh well! lol 

I will likely play through this again sometime soon but I doubt i'll be changing my mind on much unlike when I replayed FF8, 9 and 10. Its a story about immortal butthurt and killing teenagers because waah. Dumb.
