I hate games that uses the registry to store saved progression. Now after win10 upgrade I have lost my progress in Hexcells plus
I've lost my Hexcells+ saves a couple of times now. Really, really annoying choice by the dev.
"We're listening to fans and we love their passion but not right now as we got to sell all these console copies and then hopefully the fans are so full of passion they'll buy it twice when the PC version is released at just the right amount of time to tempt them. Thrice even when we release the Definitive Edition we're 'considering' making 12 months or so afterwards".
I certainly think Juri's the best newcomer in SF4, and that even with her 'not in SF2' debuff she's got a good chance of making it into SFV. But equally I wouldn't be surprised if we got 10 SF2 veterans showing up.
The only character I'd hate too see would be El Fuerte, which would be grounds to abandon SFV completely.

Yeah,that happen ,but did you do only upgrade or also clean install of system ?
That or a cheap ploy to generate positive pre-release buzz (e.g. The Division).

Thank you very much, Dsyndrome!
Urgh that was horrible. "Hey if enough of you sign a petition we'll 'consider' a PC release from you know PC centric studio Massive who have been working on their engine and tools for 3 years already." Though to be fair I think Uplay itself is always going to be the Achilles Heel there.
Or 'aren't sure we can port it so we don't want to die if we can't', but yeah
I believe that games made with Unity uses the registry by default. It's mostly Unity's fault, but the devs should always change that
I did upgrade

Depends on what kind of Final Fantasy experience you're looking for.
Not sure if it helps, but I'll throw out this list of +/- for why I like/dislike each:
FF4, FF6-FF9:
+Most stories revolve around central, if predictable, plots that are mostly fantasy-based
+Classic turn based menu for fighting, if you like that sort of thing
+Large number of characters for your party, each with unique roles or abilities of some sort.
FFX:
+Sphere grid
+Great battle system
-Blitzball
-Most characters are unlikable to me. I only liked Lulu. Maybe Rikku. Couldn't stand Wakka, Yuna, etc.
-Religion based plot did not resonate with me
-Extremely linear. People complain about the first 20 or so hours of FF13 being linear, but 99% of FFX was linear by comparison and people seem to love that.
FF12:
+Interesting combat system in real time; including mechanics like bows or guns needing to hit flying enemies and the gambit system for controlling the AI party members was robust.
+/- Some cool character designs, though most of the dialogue and story wasn't appealing to me, so I don't recall their actually "personalities".
- Takes place in Ivalice, from FFT fame. I am not a fan of this world.
- Plot is a sub-story from a bigger political story about two kingdoms at war. It never becomes a standard FF type story with a real quest to save the world from some ultimate villain hell-bent on destroying it.
+/- While the map feels a hell of a lot more open than FFX, there wasn't anything really compelling to me that made me feel that I should explore and find everything/do everything.
- Crazy bullshit required to get certain items (and maybe more) that revolved around not opening certain chests and stuff.
- Characters, from a party standpoint, are pretty generic and there's nothing to really differentiate them from one another. There's no character specific abilities, really, and the way the job card system works, you can make anyone learn anything.
? Zodiac/International version is supposed to put a job system in place where it may address my above complaint, but I'm not a fan of FF games with jobs (which, coupled with the piss-poor english translation/localization work is why FFV is not mentioned above in the classic section)
FF13:
++++ Combat system is fantastic, if you take the time to learn it and care about getting good rankings on your battles, especially if you decide to tackle the trials/hunts/whatever the sidequests that open up mid to late in the game.
+ More likable character designs for me; while FFX had Lulu and maybe Rikku and FF12 had Fran, FF13 gave me 3 characters I liked the designs for (Fang, Lightning, Snow); some people dislike Hope a lot and bag on the writing for him, but I found Sazh and Vanille to be more annoying on just about every level.
- The plot is indeed a mess. It's hard to follow, for me, because I had a mental block at all the French type names thrown about (such as La'Cie)... but I still found it more compelling than X or XII because it was close to a classic FF plot instead of being a religious or political tale.
+Trophies or Achievements! (Probably my first FF game with them, silly I know, but I love me some trophy/achievement hunting; just finished 100%'ing Shovel Knight today.)
+ Return of a leveling system like that of the sphere grid, which was a + from FFX.
+/- No real "towns" to explore -- but I honestly didn't really miss that much -- talking to random NPCs that just spout generic lines and running in and out of houses mashing x/a on everything to find some hidden potions never really did much for me. In a way, it's "streamlined" so it's all about the combat once the game opens up.
+ If you end up liking it, it spawned two additional games with references and a common thread of Lightning or her sister Serah (I think that's how you spell it). FFXIII-2 is supposed to be a little closer to traditional FF games in terms of town exploration and such and what I saw of the beginning sections of Lightning Returns (FFXIII-3) makes me want to play that as well.
That's all you need to say, man. Gran fuckin' Pulse.
Fighting those Long Gui... dammmn, what a rush.
I'd recommend to keep the money and watch Spoony's review. All my frienda who played the game make the Excalibur face if someone brings it up.

Buy it for the +1
Save for FF XII
Size on disk: 62.28 GB. I need to finish it just so I can delete it.. was about 20 hours in when I got distracted. I enjoyed it well enough though.
I think you can easily delete movie with language that you didn't use.

I'd rather spend my money on a big sandwich than Final Fantasy anything post PS2.

Does Nuuvem sell a frame-rate fix for XIII-2 by any chance?
You know you'll never be able to pass up on Final Fantasy Amiibo's
But I like this song, I only like Crazy Chocobo for shock value and laughter!

What achievement did your issue occur with?
Okay, so FFXIII is a terrible FF game. The combat system requires you to pay attention and think tactically, and the UI is designed to let you restart any fight to reconfigure your party and try it again without a game over screen; FF games are supposed to be really easy, just put all your strongest people in and auto-attack while half-asleep. Also it's linear, where most of the game is a long corridor (figuratively) before opening up in the final chapter; FF games are supposed to be either linear but with an overworld map to make you think they're not linear, or linear but with a fast-travel menu called "airship." There aren't any towns; FF games are supposed to have a bunch of NPCs walking back and forth saying the same thing to add verisimilitude to what's basically a shop menu, rather than just buying stuff online like you do in FFXIII. Oh and the story is some kind of nonsense about the intersection of man and divine and those marginalized by prejudice and fear, but FF stories are supposed to be really serious stories about riding whales to the moon and fighting clowns who (literally) destroy the world by moving furniture.
So, yeah, FFXIII has no business being a FF game, since it's actually good.

The characters are shit, the story is shit, the combat is shit and insulting simplistic.
FF13 is a shit game and should only be purchased in the vain hope that one day, somehow, SE will make another game worth buying again and will decide to release it on steam. Which incidentally, Type 0 is not such a game, since it is incredibly mediocre in every way, but still a billion times better than FF13.

Eurogamer just posted a piece on scalebound, loved this part:
A Fish Aficionado
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Ha! I get the feeling Kamiya doesn't really ever want to talk to the press... or most of the folks who pester him on Twitter... or many folks at all if they dare to ask him questions. Dude is really cool and does offer up some great insight into titles he's worked on if he's asked a decent question.
Combat isn't simplistic at all for later area.
Dota is getting huge. There are even several really, really big pubstomps here in Denmark, which is... Highly unusual. I've yet to watch more than two matches though; I'm dumb like that. I wanna watch more though. But lazyness and all that.
dota2 hitting >530k viewers on twitch alone
I think a lot of that came from the fact that... Well, IW had always been the sole dev of CoD. It was before the days of seeing sequels and spin-offs done by different studios, and WaW was the first one for CoD.
This has become commonplace for big publishers now though, so... Yeah.
Although I did think World At War was a tad shite, though I loved the gore and mutilations, lol.
This is the game with the entire like, viking-esque family, right? Where there's like 4 or so (playable?) characters? If so, been waiting for some mo' gameplay. Tyvm.Sweet giveaway chummer. Now to jack into Modbot and save me some nuyen.
Also, here's 18 minutes of Eitr gameplay. Game looks so good.
