2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality (lemmy.world)

Square Enix games (FInal Fantasy, Neir Automata, Sleeping Dogs. Tomb Raiders)

They are all... good - certainly not bad games But nothing makes them... great

Nier Automata

How dare you feel this way, you scruffy-looking Nerf-herder!

I am unhappy with your comment! But I respect it, so I hope you have a great day ahead.

I had to stop when the villians were monologuing right in the middle of a fight scene, in the most cliched way possible. And this was after some mid gameplay, with a clearly telegraphed rugpull plot point that seemed like it was going to be the centerpiece of the whole story.

For real - one of the best games, maybe all time. But Square Enix does churn out some meh games.

I’ve been frustrated with these Japanese games lately like FF and Yakuza because of the graphics. Japan likes to use an anime style on their character models, which I personally don’t think looks good but whatever. The issue I have is that you walk around in a yakuza or FF or resident evil game and half the characters and NPCs look very realistic and like real people, and the main characters and some NPCs look like anime characters, different bone structure and art style. It’s distracting. I frankly think you stick to anime style or realistic modern style, you can’t just swap between the styles at will within the one game.

Does final fantasy still have invisible enemies that just attack you and put you into battle mode? Cause I found that outdated and stopped playing the games, im done with turn based but especially done with games where you can’t even see the enemy till they just battle you
