everyone going with the combo of Witcher 3 and Wolfenstein as well I see?
my third game is Child of Light
Dark Souls II, Dead Rising 3, Watch Dogs.
Green stop stealing, you won already.
also implying that FF7 isn't good and worse than FF3? Not sure if serious post.
rotfl what? FF3 is one of the worst FF games. inb4 "but job system is g-gud" FF5 has a better one and, yeah, that's the only decent thing you got in FF3.

No. Only games that have a price for pre-order/purchase can be won.
You can always wait til the last day to see.
Thought I moved over to 4chan for a second there.

That never stopped us.
Arguably the greatest rts ever made... so yea I can recommend it. I think there's a deal on Amazon where you can get the game and the new expansion for $2.49.
Could someone confirm that?
So guys.
I've never played a Final Fantasy game but I've always been curious. Should I jump into FF7 or would I find it to be super archaic and a poor experience overall? Also, should I just jump into FFX HD on PS3 when that's on sale instead? I would have asked earlier when the flash sale started but I just woke up. Welp.

Grab FF7
The original PC releases of FFVII and VIII sported MIDI music. The re-release of the former was patched three months before the latter's released, however in true Squeenix fashion nobody thought it'd be a good idea to replace VIII's music ahead of its release (last December). VII's patch took 13 months to arrive, so with any luck VIII will be patched by ~next January!
I have Final Fantasy XI on there because I have an old endgame account that's level 75. It would be cool to go back to it for a little bit...
I want someone to tell me no. I feel like I should take Final Fantasy III off of this and wait for the Winter.
Screw it! I'm about to blow 50 bucks.

I'd recommend getting FFVII on PSN instead. The Steam version comes with all sorts of asterisks, like janky SquareEnix DRM and bad versions of the music.
It's not much, but here's a small quick giveaway:
ModBot said:Instructions for participants:
I am giving away a Steam key. To enter this giveaway, send a PM to ModBot with any subject line. In the body, copy and paste the entire line below containing the key.
Rules for this Giveaway:
- If you are a lurker you are not eligible for this giveaway. You need five or more posts in either the current Steam thread or the previous one to be eligible
- This giveaway is a LIGHTNING raffle. The winners will be selected by random draw 15 minutes after the draw was created. Any games not claimed after that point will be given away first come first serve.
- Do not trade keys you win off-site to enrich yourself. Don't try to claim games you have no interest in collecting or playing. Don't claim games to give them to friends off-site.

Hoard --MB-C52AF1893BA803C4- Taken by Speevy. 2 entrants total.
I'd say that if someone hasn't played a FF game, they're better off starting with FF6, since it doesn't bombard the player with low polygon 3D models.

The cards WILL disappear.
Hey, I have Summer Card No. 6
I am very new to Steam so I can't sell it on the marketplace. If anyone's interested I'd trade it for a permanent card.

yeah because criticizing/praising (bad) games that are available on steam isn't a common topic here. (or is it a common topic on 4chan? What, not even true)
also I like 2chan better.
It was a poor experience when it was released.
The only reason it's so popular is because it was most people's My First JRPG(tm).

My top 3 was Witcher 3, Wolfenstein, and Watch Dogs but I swaped out WD for Mordor.
I'll likely mix it up again before I stick.
It's a debate between "I can play it now" vs "Wait?!?!?!"

I liked playing it last December for the first time.

The Squeenix DRM is limited to a one-time activation unless you care about Squeenix's own achievement system, and again FF7's music has been patched.

Amnesia Collection worth it? Or just get the first Amnesia? I'm hearing bad things about A machine for pigs.
What happened?

Hmm FF7 was my first FF so I would say yes, it all comes down to if you're fine with turn based combat. If you are get it along with 8. At best you might like the story and characters.
With FF7, get the fan mods that alter the character models so they become more high res, etc.
FFX HD on sale would be good to get IMO, that one has a rather deep upgrade/level up system.

It's hilarious how many people on green just crafted one point to be eligible for the contest.
im one of them
I'm guessing he had to go first (i.e. send money ahead of getting the keys) and then the trader ran off. That or he received the keys only for them to disappear from his inventory because they were obtained fraudulently.

Excellent use of "rofl," much better than how a teenage girl with a flip phone would use it.
And yes, I believe Final Fantasy III is a much better game than VII.
Did you parents never teach you that different people might have different tastes and opinions than you?
DRM? Ew. Thanks for the heads up.
I hear this a lot, but like why is it so poor?

I just crafted 1 random badge (Counter Strike GO) just for the heck of it, didn't know it made me eligable for a free game lol.

don't need to craft for the contest i don't think - you just get an extra card if you do.
EDIT: oops im wrong...
I'm just crafting a badge per day. So 1 point or 10 points contributed each day.

Didn't know the music had been fixed.
Personally I think FFVII is more fun than FFX. Better music. More freedom (world map). Much better minigames. It's also easier than FFX, so I think it's a better game to start with. If you can stand the rough graphics you should give it a go.
PC version has these weird mouths though...
Yeah, that happened to me the first time I traded for keys as well. Trader ran off even though he had 100+ rep. Was discouraged from using the market for a while

A Machine for Pigs is a stripped down experience compared to the first one. Not that the first game was mechanic-heavy, but a lot of people seem to have a lot of hatred over "walking simulators" or any other derogatory name they have.
If you're not sure, just get the first and then buy the second if a lesser-gameplay echo would entertain you.
It took more than a year for Squeenix to get around to it (the re-release hit in August 2012 while the patch wasn't issued until September 2013), so the news flew under the radar.
