How are you people not recommending FF7?

Overrated, and besides, there's a remake coming out so it's better to wait for that.
 
This is bullshit, i wanted to buy my sister Civ V complete as a Christmas gift, but i can't ecause i get an info that the game is "personalized" for my account and can't be purchased as a gift. What. The. Fuck?
 
Ive never played any final fantasy game. What game should i play as a showcase of what ff makes so great?

I only have a ff3 on ds still sealed, but meanwhile its too expensive to open and play it lol.

I enjoyed some of the nintendo rpg like etrian odyssey, strange journey and dragon quest on ds. Lost Odyssey on 360 was also great.

So where can i start?

Many are saying FFX. It's different from case to case but me it made me not touch the series for many years. I would start with FFVII (even if it looks like low poly lego) or FFIX.


The decision has been made.
 
VA-11 HALL-A is 15% off at 12 dollars USD. Would suggest it for anyone looking for a neat visual novel/adventure game with a novel interaction mechanic, tons of atmosphere, and really good character-centric writing.

Caveat that they still haven't put up Mac versions of the prologue/demo. :/ But yeah, I've heard great things about it.
 
Think im going to stop here though might pick a couple of cheap extras up over the next week or so. Pretty excited to play FFIX though im tempted to switch that out for FFX

Man it looks like everyone figured out the best percent to discount their game at and it sure ain't the 75% of old Steam sales of yore.
 
hmm, thanks to the Steam sale I could convert a large chunk of my collection from PS3 physical to PC digital for about $58. On one hand, if I was going to replay them then I'd want to do it on PC with the higher resolution & frame rates, plus this would get me one step closer to eventually retiring my PS3, but on the other hand I have my save datas on PS3 and I'm probably not going to replay most of these anyway. I'll probably just keep my ps3 discs but has anyone else recently done this?
 
So, I'm planning to gift a game to a friend who likes open world games. I was thinking on GTA V of course, but then I realized Watch_Dogs 2 is a lot more recent, and I've heard a lot of good things about it, unlike the first one, and it seems to have an small discount. Which one would you recommend, guys? Thanks!

Bumpy, this thread moves fast :P
 
Looking for good local co-op party games.

Already have all the jackbox stuff and gangbeasts, lovers in a dangerous spacetime, and a coupe other things. Any suggestions? Looking at overcooked. What else?

Towerfall is great if you like Gang Beasts for the gameplay and not just the ragdoll stuff -- there's also an 8 player version on itch.io if you'd prefer that.
 
I want to get Rayman Legends, but I just noticed that the game doesn't seem to fully support controllers. Am I better off getting the Wii U of PS4 versions for a bit more cash?
 
Is Assassin's Creed Rogue and Liberation good? Want to get black flag since it's the last fun AC I can remember but the silver bundle for all 3 is only $10 more on Uplay. And is there any really important dlc that I should get that isnt included (legacy assassin outfits and such)?

Another good buy to me is the Age of Empires collection which includes 2 and 3.
 
Real Talk: All Final Fantasy games are average at best and rely more on spectacle and fireworks than good plots and character development.

for good JRPGs with actual characters and stories check out Dragon Quest
 
Is this something that is supposed to happen?

Activision frequently gives up licenses, and when they do it's typically at the end of the year. But there's no specific reason to believe the Transformers license is expiring this year and the only real evidence they'll drop it is that the last few games haven't performed well. There is a new Transformers movie next year I think, so who knows.
