How so? Is basically a QTE fest envolved on a linear boring dungeon. Is literally "Press X and something awesome happens"
Reviewers got a copy two weeks ago. That is more than enough time to beat the story and a lot of the side content.

Can't see how the game can get under 80 Meta.
It's a good game, no GOTY but a good game

I had never seen a trailer or a teaser of this game lol. I just avoid all that crap.
What chapter are you on?

Imo it did =/
I didnt see anything like that (summons) in any other rpg...
Combat is just as good as games like DMC and it is still a RPG
TW3 has bad side quests too, even main story ones =(
But yeah, the number of summons is a big letdown, it's easy to see that the game was rushed and that the plot was changed from water to wine =/
But I still find the summons epic

AFAIK, only some weapons can point warp so that alone makes it so that I need at least a heavy and light weapon to switch mid-battle.
Also, is this bit still in the game? Put it in spoilers if you have to.
Yoooooo. I've never seen this. That looks awesome!
Except it was more like 25-30 hours to get some kind of freedom only to be forced to move in narrow corridors again for the last few chapters.
Even if i liked FF XIII at the time, it was so restrictive you had to wait so much to develop the characters the way you wanted. Stuff like level cap every chapter meaning the game wanted you to have a certain level for the boss, limitations on roles, limitations on movement, limited interactivity, all improved on by FF XV make me say FF XV is a big step forward for the series, even considering its flaws.

That's a minigame, inside one of the most awesome and epic setpieces in the series. The sole comparisson hurts my soul.
(and that guy is terribad, how can you lose that minigame)

I'm still expecting the game to go off a cliff at some point, because 10 hours in and I'm still loving it so I don't know where it goes wrong. 
I'm still in the open world bit so maybe it's later.

Witcher 3's combat is nowhere near as good as FFXV's. What am I reading?
No it's not, stop.
You are reading what you want to see, because no one said that.

With 8 I will agree but with 7 as a philosophy major I couldn't disagree more. There is some amazing things in the ffvii story. Hell in my metaphysics class I wrote a 50 page paper dealing with things from ffvii. It might not seem deep on a surface level buy Holy crap that game is deep if you really start to analyze it.

The game must be a cake walk for you by now.
Lol, no. Not even close.
If only the combat in FFXV was half as responsive as those games.....
Of course.
Pro HQ doesn't have these pretty reflections (yet).
It has to be base PS4 or Pro Low Quality mode.Relaxed Muscle

The joke here about XIII, is that it never gets amazing...
At least one doesn't open until night.
Well, the comparison here is
the setpieces in the game very, very much correspond to how minigames were handled in old titles, except at least they tie into the same control scheme as the battle system, even if a lot of them aren't particularly interesting combat encounters, or ones you can't lose

C'mon there is no summon at all except some scripted moments and maybe lucky in some battles.Imo it did =/

That is not how summon is supposed to be even if you have 2-3 summon in the whole game.
FFXV removed summons in a way a never expected a game in the franchise could do that... it is shameful.
I still think it is a good game but a fall for the franchise.
PS. Did you ever played DMC??? The combat in FFXV is a hell of unresponsive compared with it.
I'm not talking about the dungeon entrances but the tombs in the dungeons.
I just spent two hours+ in a super hard level 50 dungeon. Jesus Christ that sewer dungeon is beyond brutal. That midboss was harder than the actual boss! Just constant status inflictments.

Dude u just don't understand the epicness of summons ok?
Also Asura's Wrath has still to be topped by any game ever that's how much it revolutionized life itself.
Damn, final main quest is level

I'm having a great time.... But...
Tabata needs to rebalance the game. The normal mode is too easy. I can't believe there's even an easier mode.

Yeah, VII's phenomenal in this regard.

Ever since The Order 1886 I don't trust early gaf impressions at all.
Really, the most important part of the game is the fact that most of the consumables are stupid shit like energy drinks and fruit punch that's given magical properties because of Noctis' powers. It's literally never said in game unless you look at the descriptions and I love it.

Sadly the world wasn't ready and we're punished to witness Asura's glory chained down by Naruto. In a free market the audience gets the games they deserve x_X...
I like the combat because it tries to be it's own thing and it (somewhat) works. It's just a bit cheap at times, with things like the block prompt appearing waaaay too late.
Strike/blindside links are pretty much QTEs, but I love them. They would be much better if the characters didn't keep clipping everywhere while doing so, though.
Also, I'm either not getting it or life regen is a bit weird. If I only have a small portion of my HP left with no grey portion remaining, does that mean I'm stuck with only that until the end of the combat? Because the "gets revived with 100 HP > gets hit > 0 HP > gets revived with 100 HP" cycle is frustrating.

Is there a reason I don't have the third royal sword? I have the first through fifth otherwise
I have come to realize that the reason it seems like GAF (and the internet) is full of people who hate everything is because people who are actually enjoying shit....are too busy enjoying life to whine on the internet.
Its far too easy to go online and go "this shit sucks" than it is to go "this shit is great". The former tends to lead to more of a back and forth than the latter in which unless its a gush session the response tends to be more mild.
This is why the most active threads are the ones where people are arguing over dumb shit.

I'm allergic to this
Yes. It's normal.
