I’ve seen a lot of positive praise and sentiment for XVI even from longtime fans and I find that worrying. I finished the game and thought it was a solid 5/10 at best and was happy for it to be over. The game felt closer to Genshin Impact than it did Final Fantasy....
I'm about 10 hours in, it's enjoyable, but it sounds like the game is missing the depth and stats of older FF games.
I always loved over leveling in previous FF games, getting the best gear and stats, but I feel like that's missing here, the combat is a bit too involved/intense to find grinding for levels fun.
I still plan to finish it since I'm enjoying the story, but will be more hesitant on getting future FF games if this is the direction they're going.
I finally broke down and got a PS5 to play FF16, put about 5 hours in so far and enjoying it.
Will have to check out some other PS exclusive games in the near future too (if anyone has any recommendations apart from God of War, feel free to suggest!)
I’ve been eyeballing this thing for years and finally decided it was time. Sold a bunch of old anime stuff I wasn’t into anymore and got something awesome....

Out of the new cards in July's set, I think Legion is going to be the most fun to play with! There's going to be some great plays, imagine playing no cards and then Legion into the Bar With No Name on the last turn 😂

I really enjoyed The Outwaters, but felt the low budget ($15,000) kept it from being great. I don't think the majority people with like it due to the slow pacing and frustrating editing, but if you're ok with that it helps amp up the atmosphere and the feeling of it being a found footage film.
Following months of audition tapes and in-person screen tests, Warner Bros and DC Studios have their new Clark Kent and Lois Lane. David Corenswet has been set to play Superman while Rachel Brosnahan are on board to play Lois Lane in James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy.
They seem fine picks, not mind blowing, but I assume they have something if James Gunn has picked them. At least this news distracts from The Flash failing at the box office.
I've been wanting to get a PS5 for a while, I ended up getting God of War Ragnarok on PS4 as a hold out, but with this and Spider-man 2 coming up soon, I think I'm going to have to get one before the end of the year,
FF16 looks fantastic, I hated the idea of mainline FF games heading away from the turn based RPG gaming, but it looks like it's not been a bad thing.
We're getting towards the mid-point of the year, and (unless I've missed it) I can't seem to find a thread for discussing what our favourite games of the year have been....
While I'm not done with it, I think Diablo 4 takes the crown so far due to the amount of time and enjoyment I've had with it, really well done game that even after the hype blew away my expectations.
Glad they're not getting thrown under the bus, hopefully they can move onto a game they want to make with the team they now have, sounds like they had a real bad go of things during the production of Redfall.

Redfall developer Arkane currently safe, Microsoft says (www.eurogamer.net)
Good to hear. Arcane has made some stellar titles over the years. It would be incredibly reactionary to shutter the studio for Redfall.
Which is the first PC game that blew your mind?
For me it was definitely DOOM 2! Miles ahead of anything else I had played before.
