So ATR after Sony's conference on Monday
Will XV be able to rebound after how bad Platinum Demo was?
>>340495471
I've avoided most FFXV info. I figured I'd go in cold.
A friend recommended I play the Platinum demo because it is content not in the final game, so I gave it a go.
Who the fuck thought this would convince people to buy the game? It was so boring, so slow, so shitty.
I'll try FFXV, but I might wait til it gets cheap if this demo accurately represents it's pace and gameplay.
>>340495471
But the demo was good.
>>340495750
In what possible way could you call this snoozefest good?
>>340495471
it will never rebound on /v/ because the fanbase is retarded.
>this combat suxxx
>graphics are badd
>fps drops in the deemooo
>xv-kun shilling
>dead on arrival autist
>retards can't even invest 40 minutes into the iron giant fight to learn the mechanics or even find the hidden weapons
it's already doomed to sell 7 million copies and get shat on until the next FF.
>Platinum demo
>Bad
Yeah, okay.
>>340495471
Why did they decide to make some cancerous growth coming out of carbuncle's head?
>>340495931
Do the hidden weapons make the combat good?
Because the combat isn't good, in this demo. Its slow, boring, and appears incredibly limited. I would dearly like for you to show otherwise or explain what mechanics I'm missing.
>>340495850
It was just a tech demo. It was only meant to show off what they could do.
>>340496126
>I would dearly like for you to show otherwise
Like i said, retards can't invest 40 minutes into a game so they need handholding and big help menus and giant arrows pointing them where to go.
Fuck you, i won't show you shit, you can hate the game all you want.
When i was 5 nobody explained to me how to play fucking Mario bros and nobody told me wha shroom or the star do.
You try shit out and you learn, the game gives you feedback.
You start out slow then you master the combat and you can do crazy shit.
Am I alone in thinking the combat was better in Episode Duscae?
The way it is now feels kinda...overly simplified
>>340496313
Yeah true but it was really alarming how badly it ran.
>>340496423
In that demo there was no need to start out slow or to master anything, you could just hold one button and fight's over. In the older games you're talking about you actually had to get creative and master the mechanics, in this you don't, that's the problem. That's nice if there's crazy shit there just for the sake of it if you want to put the effort into discovering it, but if the game doesn't require you to learn it then it's just fluff. Which is boring.
>>340496313
>It was good
>tell me how it was good
>it was just a tech demo!
So how was it good, though
>>340496423
>dumb people don't know the combat
>please explain the combat because it didn't seem fun
>fuck you you are too dumb
Great answer, asshole. I don't hate the game, what I played of it felt boring. If it secretly isn't boring and the demo can't show that to me, I don't see how I'm at fault. The game knows how it works, or should be showing me the tools I have.
>>340495735
It's not representative and you know it, don't try to be edgy.
>>340496572
It really isn't the fact that is more complex and hard to master IS why people can't get into it.
Platinum was such a shit demo, not even explaining how the fuck the game works in actual combat. Anyways 3/4 of the game is just retarded O holding because of the child section.
They fucked up, but the game is shaping to be something exceptionnal, no matter how much shit it gets until.
>>340496572
I definitely liked ED and hated PD
I wish weapon skills were still on triangle. I think they are replacing it with the abilities from the skill tree.
>3 months till launch
>oh yeah guys we are doing a skill tree
>>340496819
What game are you talking about ?
You just played a shitty stand alone demo with framepacing and inputlag problems, not the game.
>>340496929
Did you not read my post? It is the only exposure I have had to XV. If it isn't representative they shouldn't have released it, because it is the only impression I have of the game.
In what way is it not representative? Does the combat change drastically with multiple characters? I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm just saying this was my guess experience with the game and it made me worried about it.
>>340497106
Is this where we are at, now?
>>340495471
But the platinum demo was good
Platinum Demo fucked up by having you as as kid the whole way, and not backed up by your team. The combat, if you try fucking around against the Iron Giant in rematches to figure out the array of moves you have with each weapon (and finding the extra weapons hidden up the side of the building), the PD's combat was pretty good.
If they were to update Duscae with PD's combat and most of its changes (and fucking explaining the combat mechanics), then make it available to all, it would be one hell of a sales pitch.
>>340497106
If you want to say the full game will be better that's fine, I'd hope it would be, although frankly I'm not holding my breath. But OP said the demo was bad, which I'd have to agree with.
>>340497443
How many moves does each weapon have?
I tried to tap attack to do combos and was devastated when I could hold attack to the same effect.
So what did they not explain? I'm seriously interested here.
>one more final tomorrow and then e3 and games to look forward to
>>340498281
directionals can change your attacks
for airstep sword is purely for dodge
you use big sword for damage
>>340498431
Why can't we have nice things on /v/? I want sound
>>340498431
>all that clipping
goty
>>340499290
>tfw I'm in this
I'm honored
>>340499290
I don't get this shit. I always heard about him in XV threads but I never thought it was actually a sole person, just lots of fanboys or something.
Man I just can't get hyped for XV at all. I dunno if it's burnout from getting burned so bad by XIII or just the game itself not doing anything to appeal to me personally but I just can't buy into it at all.
>>340502090
It simply looks bad. They haven't showed anything hype worthy since the initial reveal.
>>340495471
>pd was bad meme
Is that why it has a 5 star rating on PSN? Other than performance hiccups because it was unoptimized and made in under 2 months there wasn't anything wrong with it. Combat was an improvement in everyway over ED and what we saw in trailers for things intentionally left out of PD only further warranted it as a solid foundation demo.
>>340496819
Thats just blatantly wrong on every level. Holding down O with the strongest weapon equipped just results in you dying.
>>340502236
Just no.
>>340504689
And that's just gonna be a common enemy, I can't wait until you get slapped in the face by some big bad boss and hit a halt. God I still haven't killed the fucking behemoth either.
>>340504841
It's true though. Both demos fucking suck and every single trailer just shows a terrible story in the making.
>>340505085
No it isn't, both demos were great and every trailer shows one of the most interesting FF world and stories to date.
>>340495471
>It takes two E3s to release a game these days
Fucking shit.
>>340505178
Fuck off XV-kun.
>>340505191
>december 2014 to february 2017
we all know that feel bro
>>340505085
It's already been made clear you are the type of autist that legitimately spouts "hold le circle to win xD?!", so why do you think anyone is going to take you seriously when that was already proven wrong here >>340504689
>>340505085
The story is going to be expansive and very large considering they've poured money into an anime and movie as well. You don't know what you're talking about.
>>340505215
Ebin meme, how about backing up statements with facts instead of desperately calling everyone who says anything against you as XV-kun?
>>340496121
You mean the jewel he had on his head since fucking forever?
Gee I dunno.
>>340505215
>XV-kun
This should be an auto ban. Shitposters like you are just using this to instantly dismiss anyone and everyone who isn't straight up shitting on the game.
>>340505782
haha yeah I agree
>>340505842
Yeah why would anyone who isn't NeithOF, a P5 fag or Tposefag care enough to screencap that? Thanks for letting your agenda be known.
>>340506174
HOOKED ME A LIVE ONE
IT'S A REAL XV-KUN
OH BOY
>>340505842
What's that supposed to prove? If you've been in XV threads long enough you notice those shitposters alongside XV-kun too.
>>340506358
>no mention of banning XV-kun along with them
What's that supposed to prove? if you've been in XV threads long enough you notice XV-kun alongside those shitposters too.
>>340506224
Why did you avoid the question? Doing exactly what meme spouters do just calling everyone the same person.
>>340506224
You're a fucking retard.
>>340506397
? The fuck are you even trying to say? So what if that post didn't mention XV-Kun? Those other people are common shitposters in XV threads too.
>>340496841
The visuals were beautiful, that little animal is adorable and the soundtrack is really good so far.
I loved the switches that change time and the giant at the beginning looked really cool
Combat is fun but they need to improve it and make it more diverse because ffxv is going to be a long game and that shit will get dull fast but it's a great starting place.
The enemies were really forgettable and the main characters look generic as fuck.
All in all I really enjoyed the demo and I'll probably buy it soon after release, I'm not super hyped though.
>>340506584
? The fuck are you even trying to say? XV-kun is THE biggest shitposter.
>>340506224
He has a point though.
>>340506654
So we aren't allowed to bring attention to the other shitposters in XV threads? Someone in that thread already asked for XV-kun be banned so it wasn't necessary to mention it again.
>>340506818
You're trying too hard XV-kun
>>340505782
Nah. XV-kun is a specific person. It's not just that he's some random fan expressing his excitement, it's that he's the same fucking asshole posting the same shit and arguing with the same made up people in any thread.
After a while
>Eat shit Kagari/Tposefag/(Noun)-kun you got btfo with (Post) Tabata literally said the game will be (X), just read (random interview with questionable relevance) and kill yourself.
gets pretty old.
>>340507491
I don't get it, just prove him wrong and move on? That is if he is actually wrong
>>340507491
I wouldn't mind the faggot if he just stayed in his containment threads but spamming KH/Witcher/Persona/other FF threads takes this shit too far.
>>340507663
Fuck off XV-kun.
>>340507491
And yet autists spout and call everyone they see who isn't directly shitting on XV as XV-kun.
Case in point right here >>340506987
stealth is such a tricky concept you know, when you tell the player, "don't get caught" you remove the element of stealth entirely, so we can't just design a game around telling the player not to be seen, we want him to feel like he is being elusive, not given the illusion of stealth
that's why we sat down and really started to look at french impressionism and tons of messages in them c'est une pipe was a huge inspiration for us at kojipro
>>340507491
Tposefag is very real, as real as XV-kun. He started around 2014 and always does the same shit after every new trailer.
If you were a regular here you'd know that.
Platinum Demo was shite. FF has turned into a simple hack and slash.
I hope this isn't indicative of FF7R.
>>340506224
He brought up good point though you retard
>>340497135
I wouldn't say it's not representative, it just does a bad job of showing the gameplay off since the only enemy you get to fight is a big, slow moving target and it doesn't explain anything beyond the basic controls.
>>340495471
dunno, both demos made whole game for me completely irrelevant. Gameplay itself is way too damn boring, mostly thanks to battle and equipment system.
Locations were cool, that's about it.
General opinons was that the demo was fine so it will be fine
pretend its turn based and do it in real time
think about it dont just hack it
use range and dagger hit defend dive back magic
issue party commands
>>340496970
There were no abilities in Platinum as far as I saw. If you held the left stick down while attacking with the broadsword, Noctis would perform Tempest from the Duscae demo but besides that, I saw none of the others. And the manual switching of weapons is kind of clunky, I preferred the Duscae setup where you chose the weapons for aerial combat, initial strike, barrage, etc from the menu.
>>340496708
>>340496109
>design a game full of cute boys to appeal to fujoshi
>fill it with action-based gameplay instead of menu-driven
Yeah this is a great idea Square, fucking bravo, can't wait to watch my boyfriend play the game for me
