Is that the perception outside of Canada? Because it really doesn't ring at all true.
Generic hero/villain trailer about nothing
People on Reddit are actually hyped as hell for this game. I mean, to each their own, but it's rough.

Modern-looking FF games are such trash.
nice to hear
in related twitter news, Adam Baldwin deleted his account because he's upset that twitter is actually punishing users for harassment. yay

Cute CG. The rest seems dumb af. Like the general outline of a story a grade schooler would write.
My literary snobbishness is coming out. I must refrain.

It was just a wanna-be Frenchies joke. I have know perception of people from Quebec at all, I only know they speak French in a country where people mostly speak English.
Nah, it's all warranted. It's seemed to me like they used words from a hat to plaster up in between the scenes.

<brb gotta pick up my smart watch for the summons maybe>
Final Fantasy XV™ - September 30 (I know it's for Kingsglaive but I'm treating is as being under the XV umbrella marketing campaign)
I'm sick to death of trailers separating one small sentence into 5-6 supers. It's fucking dumb and it makes the entire sentence sound stupid
Edit : Grenadier, you understand me at a spiritual level.

The blatant, obscene and senseless Audi product placement made me groan IRL.
I wish I could read Audi and Squeenix's marketing docs regarding their target.

It was so out of place. I thought it was just going to be a car modeled after the R8, but once I saw the four rings I groaned too. Ugh.

"You're hired!"
I don't know exactly when it happened but I cannot abide turn based JRPG anymore.
I used to love games like this but I just can't do it anymore
I don't want to say I've outgrown them because that would make me sound even more like a judgmental bastard but there was certainly a cutoff point where that gameplay stopped appealing to me.

Final Fantasy XV-2 - Finish the fight

I take turn based RPGs over what FF15 is doing. ¯\_(ツ

I'm trying to think of how many jrpg's I've ever even played.
Evolution for Dreamcast was my first
Grandia II
Skies of Arcadia
Tales of Symphonia for Gamecube
Chrono Trigger for DS and mostly while I was in the bathroom at my old job.
That's about it. I've played maybe 2 hours of FF7 on ps3, but the resolution made that fairly difficult to get into.
I don't really like japanese things.

JRPGs still appeal to me mechanics wise.
But writing wise they're mostly all complete juvenile trash even by video game writing standards. They're all mainly simple and trite stories encapsulated by ~mature~ and ~adult~ trappings to lend them any shred of legitimacy. This was all great when I was 15. Now it's mostly annoying. And I'm not even saying that a simple or mindless story is always a bad thing. I'm just saying that they can't even pull that off well for the most part. Save us Persona 5.

Are you saying that JRPGs are the YA gaming equivalent? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

#NotAllYA #JustMostOfIt
The Magicians is an example of good YA. Although I wouldn't really consider it YA. And ultimately YA is nothing more than a marketing label anyway. Got a teenage protagonist? Congrats, your book is now YA.
I gotta see more of P5 before it being Perfectsona 3 good or Pandersona 4 meh.
Edit: Give me P3 Golden/Platinum or whatever with full party control and tweaked visuals XOXO
Your little brother is older than I am. By a few months but still older.
Those indie games where you do nothing but walk around and Telltale games are the YA equivalent. They were interesting at first but now everyone's doing them and they're starting to lose their charm.
I still need to buy Persona 3 and 4 on the PSN store before I even look at 5.

Until occasionally one comes along and outdoes the progenitor of the trend.
The Red Rising trilogy wouldn't exist were it not for The Hunger Games making YA dystopian sci-fi modish, and yet the RR trilogy utterly surpasses THG in every conceivable way from world building, to characters, to plot, to prose, to general level of entertainment. Thanks, Hunger Games. You were good for something after all.
I think labeling "walking simulators" as a distinct genre is dumb. its a subset of adventure games (only semi related to current discussion)
you got:
ones with convoluted puzzles
ones that the actual gameplay is primarily through dialogue
ones where you're mostly interacting with the environment
QTE fests
though a lot of adventure games fit two of those categories (firewatch = dialogue + environment, until dawn = dialogue + QTE)
Young Adult I'd presume

That's how it goes. Someone brings the genre to light, then someone else makes a better one, then people make several clones of that better one and the genre implodes, then it happens all over again. It's a pretty accurate description of the FPS genre.
WW II era to Modern era, and now we're in future era. Eventually we'll have to go to space.
YA has gone from paranormal romance to dystopian future.

Still great.
Well, I have heard rumblings the next CoD will be set in space. It's happening.
And the next YA trend is going to be paranormal romance in a dystopian sci-fi setting.

It's just the way our culture is set up. If you're from a small town you say hi to everyone you see. Otherwise you mostly just reserve it for people you know or people you're stuck in a room with/have to talk to. When you don't say hi, people take it as you dismissing their presence. If you want, you can do what I do and wear earbuds virtually everywhere you go regardless of whether or not they're actually playing any music. That way when you don't say hi you can play it off and say "sorry I had my earbuds in" but most people will see that you have them in and leave you alone initially.
I'd rather have a dystopian romance in a paranormal setting. Actually no, I don't. I take that back.

Sometimes if it's right when I get in to work, the act of opening my mouth to say hi seems like so much of an annoying task that I get ornery about it. I see you fuckers every day. I don't particularly care about you which is why I don't have drinks with you after work. I just want coffee. Leave me be you trollish twat.
I don't have any friends.
the primary offender for me is family members. I see them often enough that its abnormal to not see them so why do I need to acknowledge their presence multiple times a day?
oh and the really weird one is needing to go find them just to greet them.
thats exactly how i feel
Then just give a small "hey"
#Team Anti-Social
*doesn't offer hi five because that's weird*
I already do that. I just don't remember to do that all the time though because I don't think of it because it makes zero sense. If I could understand it then maybe I would be compelled to

I say 'hi' to people I make eye-contact with on my way to my desk in the morning.
Only the first one is awkward because my mouth is dry from not talking since being left alone in the house and me arriving at work to croak at the person at the front desk.
Ribbit.
I enjoyed FFIII on the GameBoy, but found the plot very non-sensical along with many of the mechanics. Don't think I've played one since, though I remember friends having FF7 on whatever console that came out on and then seeing whatever one first had the stupid sword/revolver combo with flower petals fucking everywhere.

I'm really looking forward to FF XV.
But hey, I ADORE the XIII trilogy and Lightning is one of my favorite protags. I have multiple Lightning figs
Are/were you a fan of FF before XIII though?
I don't think there is anything blatantly wrong with the XIII trilogy unless you bring the story writing into it, but it's a direct departure from traditional Final Fantasy games.
One really annoying thing. on another forum I post on theres this guy who says hi to me when I start posting. he gets all mad if i dont' respond to him but if i do respond to him he doesn't continue talking to me. its really weird. (he does it to everyone that he doesn't hate btw)
