Did the people who hate this game actually get passed Chapter 2...

Did the people who hate this game actually get passed Chapter 2? I can understand the hate for the beginning parts of the game. It's pretty weak and slow, and overall a bad first impression of the game. Once you hit Chapter 3 things pick up, there's a lot more quests available, the world gets bigger and more diverse, and the scope of the game seems much larger.

I was worried Sup Forums was right when they were complaining about this game but after I hit Chapter 3 I realized they were wrong again.

>It gets better after X hours
The early parts of the game are the most important, bucko

That's the thing. If you have to stick witb a shit game for an extended period of time to start enjoying it, that doesn't make it a good game. That's more like Stockholm syndrome.

I agree with that sentiment, but the first two chapters don't take long to get through, especially if you avoid most of the side shit. And the start of the game isn't terrible, it's just mediocre, so it gives off the impression the entire experience might be mediocre, which I found isn't the case. I hate the whole "Just keep playing, after 20 hours it gets good!" But this example isn't quite that extreme. A couple hours of a mediocre experience and then the game opens up.

The problem is nobody wants to spend mpre then 20 minutes playing as a faggy looking boy band characters

>Did the people who hate this game actually get passed Chapter 2
Nope, the game's story doesn't even get that far.

people here just like being edgy contrarians

I beat the base game and I found it to be disappointing

you can see the drop in quality after chapter 9 where everything feels rushed as hell

>get passed

It's past, you illiterate fuck. Maybe you should finish the game before making retarded threads.

>world gets bigger
lmao

oh fuck off

This game fucking sucks, and it just gets worse. Game gets bigger my ass, it turns into a worse hallways than XIII.

well i liked it, so stay mad faggot

>but after I hit Chapter 3 I realized they were wrong again

Maybe finish the game before passing judgement, you easily entertained dolt.

Play XIV and its free trial up to level 35.

you mean after chapter 2 your characters stop being faggots, the combat and rewards becomes interesting and the setting stops being a bland faux-current world?

it's also WoW-clone trash gameplay

>it's another mustard finds shit game good episode

>trash gameplay

Well you're in an XV thread.

>it's also WoW-clone trash gameplay

compared to what XV got, this sounds like a step up

Typical XV fanboy posts. No arguments, just tears.

If you thought that felt rushed as hell you should see the new final chapter in the royal edition and let it show you how rushed as hell it really was.

They sacifisced soooo much for the most boring, flat, non interactive, only two distinct regions and comparable ugly open world.
No one forced them to make the worst open world since the entire fad started no one forced them to use a inhouse garbage dumb engine designed for small levels to use for a open world game.
Fuck me is se worthless, what could have been..
This could have been the game to dethrone ff7 but nope. There is nothing more annoying than having your favorite franchise basically hold hostage by a company like SE.

no tears because i'm enjoying something while you're just shitposting about it even though you hate it?

I still want the yakuza death and betrayal plot nomura version even if it takes another 10 years...

Pcfag here. Loving the game so far and I'm on chapter 6 right now.
Sup Forums is always wrong. Botw was amazing, xenoblade 2 was amazing and this one is amazing

>posts I don't agree with are shitposting wahh Sup Forums are such mean bullies

typical

>If you thought that felt rushed as hell you should see the new final chapter in the royal edition and let it show you how rushed as hell it really was.

How bad is it now?

I don't have $15 to waste on getting a boat, an ATV upgrade, basic button press battle "enhancement", and boss battles that still use the same crappy combat engine

If you can't enjoy a tale of camaraderie and and a boy struggling to live up to his father's legacy, well, you might just be gay.

>claiming people are wrong even though he hasn't even finished the fucking game yet

I fucking hate mustards so much.

it doesn't matter how much of the game you play because it never gets better, it only gets worse. The more you play it the more you realize how empty and superficial it is. No story, no towns, a bunch of shitty fetch quests... That is the game.

This.

Experience the nosedive before preaching your faggotry.

the game only gets worse, if they didn't like it before chapter 2 why would they like the horrid later chapters?

Theyre the most important because they determine player retention, not the quality of the game.

I dont even like FFXV, but if a game has a slow start but the rest of it is stellar, the bad 40 minutes dont somehow make the rest of the game awful.

that's still 10 times better than the combat in XV

why would you want ANY story from nomura? XV even had the same light and dark horseshit from the KH series. Nomura would have made the combat better than one button tabata but the story would be just as awful, if not even worse honestly

>reach literal peak of the game
>act like some sanctimonious retard

I can't wait for the damage control when you try to claim what comes next is good.

Instead of walking straight to the final boss cor and luna make a cameo to help the gang get through the daemon ridden insomnia.
Each bro has a moment to prove their worth and loyalty by giving a finishing blow to each new boss inside the palace instead of walking noctis to the throne room.
All of it was cool but again felt like it shouldve been there at the start.
Not worth the price, youtube it instead

>shitty MMO combat is better than having real control

Kinda wish we could get other cars though. I find this one fucking sexy.

Attached: 20180313035759_1.jpg (2560x1080, 665K)

in this case, yes it is. It's far better than XV. The fact that you made a post like that tells me you don't even play MMOs and just parrot shit jRPG fanboys spew

>real control
>hold O to attack
>entire gameplay mechanic (summons) is random
>giant PRESS THE BLOCK BUTTONS NOW prompts that can't be disabled even if you turn out the hud
>using items pauses combat

Amazing control you have there

>haha everyone is wrong but me - the guy who hasn't even finished the game yet

>giant PRESS THE BLOCK BUTTONS NOW prompts that can't be disabled even if you turn out the hud
I turned off the hud and now I have to see the enemy coming if I want to know when to parry

> by giving a finishing blow to each new boss inside the palace
so those new bosses are mandatory?

>Not worth the price, youtube it instead
just like every other thing of DLC in this game. I haven't seen a single DLC worth buying in this game.

i did play ff14 for like 1 hour and it was literally just a WoW clone

it's bad at the beginning and terrible at the end
and those are the moments people remember the most

I'm in chapter 14 and I have no fucking idea how the combat actually works, I'm playing it like I would play dark souls with roll timings and shit but it's obviously a different beast entirely

yes it's a wow clone, a game that has combat better than XV

>Did the people who hate this game actually get passed Chapter 2

The hate comes from people who have finished the initial game. Finish it before making stupid threads like this.

>click on enemy
>watch animation until it dies
so much better

don't worry, the developers didn't know how the combat worked either

>its a good game once its available on PC
every time

The game was shit on ps4, and its shit now, fuck off and stop trying to justify your buyers remorse

don't forget
>wait 2-3 literal seconds between each of your attacks

as opposed to holding O for the entire game and watching an animation?

By the way autoattacks don't do shit passed level 5

>hold button on enemy until it dies

not an improvement

I remember when mustards were claiming XIII was great.

I guess I'm an Edgy contrarian because I don't like combat made by the guy who wanted it simple, barebones and non expansive because he doesn't like pushing buttons.

Thats more of an insult to WoW than anything since WoW quests are infinitely more fun than the shit I had to bare through in this game.

Looks like OP's buyer remorse is already setting in.

kek at that pic

Yeah the bosses are mandatory. You're also forced to switch to the right bro to end the fight to give the deathblow.

It was dissapointing as i expected the fight to be with all the 13 rulers as optional superbosses but instead you get just 3 who were pushovers

>inb4 OP claims he pirated it

luna doesn't have anywhere near enough tiddy to do that

>free trial up to level 35.
too bad the game has absolutely nothing going for it before the level cap

>You're also forced to switch to the right bro to end the fight to give the deathblow.

how does one switch in battle? I played XV before that patch was thrown in

FFX2-like sequel with all the girls as playable and no edgy shit when

>the more they add - the worse it gets

I hear even character switching did nothing for people as Ignis was the only useful guy.

Yeah I was having fun through chapter 3-9 till they went
>whoops we forgot about our alloted corridor gameplay, here's 5 hours of a boring """"""horror"""""" slogfest followed by absolute retardation of the story

i finished the game on ps4 when it released. its a complete piece of shit.

Strap in.

Uh except we get the complete version now hahahaha

>we

kys

>FFX2-like sequel with all the girls as playable and no edgy shit when

hopefully it gives Luna some character

>all these pckeks haven't even finished it yet

just couldn't wait could you

Where is he?

>INcomplete piece of shit
ftfy

FFXV is a game of peaks and valleys, it has some good moments but some really fucking stupid moments.

I wouldn't call it a bad game really, but its easily one of my least favorite final fantasy games. Compared to some of the garbage that comes out of japan most of the time though, its still solid ultimately.

Same as you. I've been playing XV non stop for 4 days.
Also DD and Nioh we're shit, I'll never listen to Sup Forums again.

>"""complete""" version
maybe in 2 years
the royal edition is just a "this is what we have so far" update

The game is fine until you take the boat. You're then stuck in a corridor until the end. But you can talk to the magic dog that will send you back to before the boat :^)

Why does this scene look familiar?

I actually liked the game up until arriving in Niflheim, that's where it became absolutely abhorrent.

reminds me of Beserk

Imagine having taste this fucking reddit

there is nothing complete about the game, all it is is several crap thrown at it in the hopes some of it sticks and the fans shut up.

Can't wait until these fuckin' idiots reach the hallway segment.

Imagine forming your own opinions based on your own experiences.
Show us how far you made it into the game, faggot.

You are right op, all of them faggots. And if you didn't get the ultimate blade in chapter 3 then so are you. The game is solid 8/10 after chapter 3 but I only played at release so I have no idea what's the game like now

Oh yea, that's what that scene is.

I've finished all 3. Your taste is just fucking awful if you hold this game above Dragons Dogma and Nioh.

Sorry pc bro but there will be 3 more dlc till 2019

>we're shit

Retarded opinion discarded.

platted FFXV and nioh, agree on DD being shit, though.

Actually finish the game before letting loose your inferiority complex.

>Episode Ardyn
>Episode Aranea
>some other fan service episode, maybe about Noctis inside the crystal
It's just fan service from here on out, all the missing story in the main game has been explained already.

Its L1+L2
Char switching feels wierd as the entire combat is balanced around Noctis' playstyle. char equipment is mostly useless since for example prompto gets his own loadout when you switch to him. He cant use his machinery but he suddenly gets an smg and an rpg.
Gladio plays like a bootleg souls game, Iggy has crazy solo dps and aoe, and prompto is just broken with his special doing easy 30k damage even early game

it's like mgsv
it can be fun for like 50 hours before you reach the point in the game where it ruins everything

>no Episode Dino
end me

You'll soon understand the hate for the later parts of the game. You shot your load making this thread.

>Gladio plays like a bootleg souls game

Lords of the Fallen? because that game was crap
