the PC PSX games were great too because there was some serious mod support. people put the PSX music back in and they also let you replace the awful low poly models with better models from the game.
And if you passed on FFVIII then you missed out on the best card game on the PC until gwent and hearthstone came out
I missed out on that one. It's on my bucket list but there's always been a reason to pass: first, it came out late in the PS2's cycle so I didn't have a means to play it as I had moved on, then it was that my BC 60 gig PS3 bit the dust, then it was that an HD release was coming soon maybe.
I'm a bad person
Having played 10 again when the HD remaster was released, i would agree with you to an extent. FFX was good/great on release but it hasn't held up well at all. I actually enjoyed FFX-2 more. I just wanted to punch Tidus in the face and his being shipped with Yuna seemed really forced
8 had really good systems in place that were easily exploitable if you knew what you were doing but i still enjoyed it. It was the weakest of the 3 PSX games but still better than like 90% of the JRPGs that hit on the PSX.
And you just have bad taste if you didn't love FF4 and FF6 lol

To counter, 10 was all the way mediocre, 8 was straight up garbage, and I never held any particularly high regard for the SNES games. I won't say they're bad, I only liked a few RPGs on the console. They just weren't among them.

For something to disappoint, it has to be anticipated in the first place!
Was announced this E3?

I'm not excited for Primal since I feel burnt out on FC games. I do however have an open mind towards The Division and Ghost Recon, we'll see how that goes.
Well, I still feel it got abit more free pass since it's SW. That's how I feel anyways or lets say it's recommended easily for players which I get because it's hectic arcad-y fun. I'd definitely recommend R6 if you can find it cheaper and I feel playing the game with one or two friends at the very least enhances the experience significantly.
Is Ghost Recon Wildlands a funny title for the bear game from the Sony press conference or an actual game?
Ooooh. I remember laughing about that but also having no idea what game they were talking about.

Not to mention how Jeff has now mentioned multiple times how crazy the sell for that game was.
I must have internalized it as the same game as Rainbox Six Houses at some point like I did with the Division and the Crew.

Its hard to keep track of Ubi games, after a certain point they all seem the same.
you missed my post earlier in this thread. I bought it as a kid and beat it. man, I was sad what it really was.

So does he find Mario or what? You can put it in spoiler tags for those that care

At the end of the Beastcast Vinny mentioned that he doesn't know what the GOTY videos are gonna look like yet. Guess they must not be doing much this year.
If he didn't wouldn't that break Mario canon?
How could he be in future games if he's still missing.

I dont know, maybe Mario is Missing exists at the end of the Mario timeline.
Jeff mentioned ECW basement promo-style, I wouldn't mind that. But yeah they'll undoubtedly be a lot less ambitious this year. We probably won't even get the big full-group QLs for games. Understandable, of course.
I hope it is, a really dark ending to a series in which Mario has always defeated evil at the end.

Why do people have the idea of "blaming"? IF they are saying something that is incorrect because they haven't played that much of it wouldn't someone want to correct them on the information? Personally, I'm fine with anybody shitting on any game as long as I am enjoying the game then that's the important part but when you do so, at the very least know what you're talking about first.
My guess is they probably played it alot more than Jeff so that's great. I'm currently listening to the Beastcast which from what's written is that they go deep in Siege so that's awesome.

I kind of admire Sentient for being a nightmare game that I think was made by people who had never seen an actual video game.
The "old and cynical Jeff hates everything" response is hardly new on here.

I've been following Jeff and crew ever since The Hotspot and On The Spot days so you won't see that from me that's for sure. However, Jeff didn't play as much of R6 so when he talked about it, he talked about it in a very limited manner. Having said that, he himself said he didn't play much of it so, yeah.
I know they are. I should paraphrase that I played a Genesis at a friends house back in the day before the release of the PS1. When PS1 released I got it abit later packed in was this Interactive Sampler pack volume 3.
No I didn't play Phantasy Star, I never was into JRPG's to be honest. I disliked turn based games and only loved them when it camesto Pokemon because I felt it made sense to give orders to your monster pet lol.

Wild. You post about disagreeing with Jeff on a game and you're the defense force/apologist all of a sudden. I could as easily claim y'all are just haters or the Jeff Defense Force. But no, let's just set up some strawmen about a "Ubisoft defense force" (wtf even, that never... whatever) and how it's the same old "Jeff hates games" argument (that no one here put forth wrt Siege, I just said it's not his type of game).
Lotta bad faith argumentation is what I'm seeing.
Like, how am I supposed to argue with this? The well is poisoned. You're posting your opinion as if it's fact and metacritic as if it's 100% proof and not argumentum ad populum. No one is "brooking no dissent", but the hate you're throwing around is 10 times more intense than anything anyone else was saying. I'm a ridiculous fanboy for daring to say I like a game and I think it deserves more credit than it gets from some corners because it's appealing to a very specific niche. That's all. I'm a reasonable guy, Death Metalist is a reasonable guy, everyone in this thread has been civil and reasonable... except the people who have NO CHILL accusing us of being fanboy apologist defense force. C'mon, y'all.

As someone who has largely ignored everything about R6S outside of E3 demos, this quick look sure makes this game seem not at all fun.
I suspect for a certain type of player with access to a group willing to communicate, it could be fun.
