What are you currently playing? v.12 (True Face Edition)

[Jose Beehive]

They keep rumoring 9 being remade. And several people have mentioned doing it turn based if they were involved.

I would be pretty surprised if we got a full on 7 like remake of any mainline FF and it was turn based though. Square really seems to have their heads up their asses about big budget turn based stuff.

Really hope E33 has changed that thinking for them, but highly doubt it .. they fuckin did that QTE turn based shit first too!

I'm actually fine with this. There is plenty of turn based stuff out there for people who want that. I like the way FF is constantly experimenting with new stuff. Sometimes it sucks and sometimes it's amazing. I thought the combat in FF15 was horrible, 16 was great and the FF7R series has been my favorite so far.

I'm just worried they will make Dragon Quest 12 action combat.

Leave us one!

I agree with that DQ needs to be left a lone and I think they will do that.

Into Yakuza Kiwami 3 now and enjoying it.

I played the original on PS3 and the remastered version on PS4/PC... It's one of my favorite games... And...I don't understand all the whining about the Kiwami version.

It looks good, it plays good and I don't mind the changes.

The changes make it feel like I'm playing a new game, though the story is the sameish, for my money.

If you want to play the original, play it or the remaster.

If you're whining that they will pull the Yakuza 3 remaster down...

It's a 6 year old remaster of a 15 year old game that's been sold for $20 or under forever.... Anyone who hasn't bought it by now only cares because some reddit complained about recasting or whatever in Kiwami

From what I understand the main complaint was a major change to the story in the game. I don't want to spoil it but you'll know when it happens. I'll be honest I don't see the point in them making the change they did. I wont play it again so I don't really care much but I just don't see the point in doing it. It's like when a TV producer gets a book\game IP and instead of just bringing that story to TV so that you can satisfy the current fans and possibly get new ones. They make changes to it that make you go why?

It has to do with the fact the dude sexually assaulted a girl in a club and faced no punishment, even left her with ptsd. Contrast this with another actor testing positive for cocaine and being imprisoned which led to halting sales of Judgement and having the actor removed. Have no clue why they couldn’t do the same with the yakuza 3 actor. I should add that I think if any actor should stay it was the one snorting coke because at the very least he did damage to himself and not another. But then again Japan had some weird double standards

Once I wrap up RE9 and Nioh 3 I think im going to play a JRPG. Having trouble deciding between Ys X Proud Nordics and Monster Hunter Stories 3. Has anyone played Ys X?

I'm pretty pissed about the whole proud Nordic deal, but ys X was great.

I know what the changes are and it doesn't bother me.

Except this is more like a movie being remade. Then everybody being mad it isn't the same movie as before.

It was never going to be.

Also, there's nothing to be mad about. People could just not play it. There's a remaster.

That's a cultural Japanese thing, the drugs being treated so severely and the SA not

I don't agree with it but a guy I've never heard of caught up in such a scandal (he admitted to something but was never convicted I believe) was not going to stop me from playing a remake of one of my favorites.

I'm not one of those hypocrites who thinks disagreement with someone involved in a game means I whine about it then pirate it hoping for a mod, so I purchased it.

Resident Evil 4 remake 7/10

I may have liked this one more had I not played the amazing Silent Hill 2 remake just prior. I can't help but compare the two, and this just feels like a generic horror game compared to SH. I think they could have added a few tweaks to make it better, although that may have pissed off fans of the original. For example, I was almost always disappointed with the new weapons i bought and ended up just fully upgrading the starter pistol and using that for 90% of the game. Not sure if that's normal or not. There seems to be some hit registration issues with certain guns. It's also basically just one long escort mission. It's still a really good game and definitely worth a playthrough. It just didn't impress me like SH2 did.

Picked up Doom: Dark Ages for $23, so im probably gonna play that next.
