  1. FF4 is brutal depending on the version. I know the 3D remake one I played was based on the JPN version which I couldn’t complete

     

    So if playing FF4 would be worth looking up which one to play, but that game is great. 
     

    Unpopular opinion but I didn’t really like FF6. I thought the game was overly silly and there’s one playable character where it’s all stealing enemy moves or something 

     

    I’m not saying the game is bad, but it didn’t grab me

  2. Goes to show what I know about the popularity of hero shooters. The trailer on the Marvel YT channel alone has 1.4mil views in under 24 hours, and I’ve seen a lot of people on Twitter say they think the trailer is good and excited for it

     

    I was trying to hedge my bets a little bit because I’ve never played a game in this genre. But I think the game looks quite good as well

     

    The idea of Marvel characters running around shooting each other sounds dumb, but having seen it they’ve got my interest. Not saying it looks amazing or my most anticipated game or anything, but it looks kinda good

  3. I think any trailer goes, as long as it’s one you think is good. 
     

    I think that Gears trailer was the trend setter for slow, sad versions of upbeat songs that Giant Bomb used to joke about all the time 

  4. One of the best things about us here at Xbox is your games go with you wherever you choose to play

     

    Except for Diablo 4

    No cloud nothing, no achievement nothing, no play anywhere nothing. 

     

    I knew there would be no achievements, but I was sort of hoping it would be a shared save on Xbox so I could have them pop over on console version

     

    I get this is technically a legacy Battle net game so not as simple for Diablo 4 to have all the same features as their other games. But it can't be impossible. Hopefully they fix it down the line as it feels like kind of a miss. 

  5. Different developer, game, everything, etc. But the last F2P Marvel game was Marvel Snap which is excellent. So it's not impossible.

     

    I think a bigger challenge for this game is selling a hero shooter in 2024 

  6. That MvC3 trailer is epic, actually. I haven't seen that before.

     

    I love the Mirror's Edge trailer and the song as well. There's lots of good GMV's for that on Youtube. The art style for that game is still brilliant. 

  7. One thing I actually really like is game trailers. Even though trailers are just marketing, I think there is a craft to it and when done well it's more than just a tool for hype. It's part of the experience of enjoying entertainment. 

     

    First one for me is SS4 Gogeta trailer for DBFZ

     

     

    This is super cool. Reason 1 is at the time this seemed like the end of FighterZ, so the music choice fits it not only because Gogeta is a GT character and so is the music, but because GT was meant to be the finale for DB and it seemed like so was this DLC for DBFZ. As an extra, the way the music gets louder in the mix towards to end really works for me. It's very well done.

     

    Second reason is they did some super cool stuff in this trailer between the 2 Gogeta's. The beam clash, the DR tech, the bits where one is punching the other into immediate edit of one kicking the other. Is really cool. You can tell this wasn't just shots slapped together, they really thought about it. 

     

    Thirdly, when Gogeta says "I got something real special for ya" that is he's OHKO super where if you get tagged with it, even at full health, you just die lol. But no one knew this until just before the character released so they actually managed to sneak the surprise in the trailer, without people knowing it, and saying look we have a surprise for ya.

     

    I love this trailer. I come back and watch this quite a lot. There's a few more I really like as well but thought I would see if others have suggestions before I just blast all the ones I like. 

  8. I'm not trying to act like I'm good at it or I'm regularly successful at it, but I think my favourite game right now is playing footsies. I love dash blocking, I love shimmying, I love just getting the distance right when the tip of the hit box catches the opponents feet. It's so satisfying and good feeling.

     

    When it works. Which is like 3/10 times. But, man, it's fun shit 

  9. In F2P MTX is more forgivable, though. They have to make money somehow. 
     

    As long as the game is actual F2P, players can hop in whenever, and all the paid for stuff is cosmetic, should be Ok

     

    Assuming the game is even fun to play, which not my game, I can’t tell 


  10. F2P PC only Overwatch style hero shooter with Marvel characters

     

    I have no idea about this genre at all,  it the trailer makes it look kind of OK? I didn’t hate what I was looking at, at least

  11. More speculation from me, but I think for some JPN companies like Sega and Square, MS are effectively paying for the Xbox version so they can help build/prove there’s an audience on the platform in hopes JPN companies will see there’s a significant audience on the platform being under served.

     

    I think MS are really trying to push that with these day 1 Atlus releases and Yakuza and Mana releases.

     

    I bet FF14 is too expensive for MS to pay for in the same way, but they’ve convinced Square to give it a go so future FF games come to Xbox 

  12. I’m not a big lover of the game but my issues with it weren’t really around dialogue or story. 
     

    There were some bits like when you visit a relative of a character that is quite boring but generally the story parts were the bits I liked about the game

     

    The dialogue didn’t really seem better or worse than standard JRPG stuff, but I do think the voice actors kind of suck. Aerith’s VA is not very good but I also think Barrett’s voice/ delivery vs he’s character and mannerisms don’t match. The voice is just never what I imagined Barrett would sound like.  
     

    I only played a tiny bit of FF16 but I do this it’s better than FF7R. Give me a week to finish Persona and forum playthrough? 👀 

  13. I bought P3 Reload but on PS5

     

    So I’m not helping 😁

     

    That’s the point in the service, though, right? When it comes to 3rd party games, honestly if these games didn’t go to GP I wouldn’t play them anyway. Too many games to buy stuff I’m not sure will be good 

  14. He’s too much of a whiner to take seriously.

     

    I think she’s going to be really hard to use, but if someone can crack it they’ll do really well on ranked. Her jealously mode is beastly, even when people are spamming buttons. It quickly became a case of, oh just keep away

     

    Tournament play could be different. Because every high level player will be good at neutral and ABA won’t have chance to get her game started

    A few previews for this were released yesterday. Not sure why, but none I can find are short or quick, and they’re all hour long with sit downs and interviews with Ken Levine with only clips of the game cut in to the video. 

     

    Levine is really interesting to listen talk about games, so I enjoyed this and would recommend. But if you just want the quick summary of what the game is. Well, it’s Bioshock again + rogue-lite story elements? 

     

     

    I said this before, but when Ken Levine basically abandoned he’s studio to start a new one and work on a whole new game, the talk was it was going to have super in-depth choice and consequence RPG systems and he really wanted to break that next level of having choices matter in games

     

    10 years later the result is more Bioshock

     

    On the one hand a bit underwhelmed that it’s still just Bioshock (from the looks of it), but I still really love the Bioshock games and it’s been a while since there’s been any kind of game like it, so I’m down for this. The little gameplay shown in the video does look cool as well
