I hate this.

Final Fantasy XV What the fuck even was that?

Final Fantasy XV I think I'm in chapter 10 now. I know, I know, but guys, this game is great. I mean, yeah the story is non-sensical and convoluted and it's pretty hard to care about anything because it's so up its own ass. BUT THE BROMANCE!!! It's great. I mean, yeah, it tries to be an action RPG and it's not really strong in the action respects and yeah, it loses a lot of what Final Fantasy is suppose to be with the lack of traditional classes and magic. Also sometimes the game just feels strangely rushed. There's weird sections where major things happen but it's like... none of the characters really cared? Or they decide to do something but it's never really explained. It's like the game feels a little rushed. But I don't care. I'm loving this stupid world it's created.

on the Switch!

Ok good to confirm, thanks! The Switch version is on sale and that could push me over the edge but I think I'll hold off. I can understand the PS4 version not having it since it came out first, but the PC version came out with it, and then the Switch version came out afterwards without it. That's so Square Enix it hurts.

@Mister Jack don't leave me hanging!

HYPE

I guess I'm playing Final Fantasy games now?? Anyways, played about 9 hours of this when it first came out but wasn't feeling it. Now after FFXII and Persona 5 last year, I feel my appreciation for JRPGs is better these days.

On Switch? PS4? I thought someone said fast forward is PC only??

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age Man, I still have no idea what this game is about. But I really like being able to choose my characters jobs and the license system. Once the second license board opens up, you can pick what combination of jobs your characters have, it's great. The Hunts were my favourite part, I wish more Final Fantasy games had them. Music wise it's kind of ho-hum, nowhere near as good as FF13. Ivalice is an interesting fantasy world, I like the middle eastern influences a lot of the cities have. Story wise, it's not as incomprehensible as FF13 but it's also hard to give a fuck about anything when Vaan is pushed into the middle of everything as the main character... even when Baltheir openly refers to himself as the main character. He would have been better but I'm if the opinion that Basch or Ashe would be better. I also want to mention how great the English localization is, especially for 2006. It's spot on. I have to say, almost without exception, every character in this game dresses stupidly. I have to say playing at 4x speed is great, when you turn it back to normal speed it's incredibly sluggish, I can't imagine playing that on the PS2. I've read that FFX remastered does not have the fast forward feature, too bad. Also too bad this never got a direct sequel. Yes, yes, I know there's a DS sequel but it's a tactical RPG or something and it's also on the DS. In a world full of unnecessary Final Fantasy sequels, I feel this one actually deserves one. Most importantly... were Baltheir and Fran banging?

Vouchers:

Yeah I had never seen it before, I don't remember hearing much about it when it came out and didn't know much about it. I assumed it was kind of like a Fast and Furious movie. Nope! It was bad ass. Don't really know how you get sequels out of it, but I'll give them a try eventually.

Well....... at least it's over now.

John Wick Damn, this might shock you guys, but this movie is actually pretty cool. But the rest of the movie is pretty action packed. I could do without the licensed music though.

A lot of people have an issue with Dany going crazy. I actually think Dany going crazy and burning a city of innocent children and families is something that should have happened. But they way they portrayed it definitely didn't feel earned. She went crazy why?? Because Jon didn't want to bang? Give me a fucking break. My main gripe is with Jamie fucking Lannister. This dude just spent 8 seasons growing as a person. In season 3 (?) we learn no, he's not just some ruthless Kingslayer, he killed King Aerys because Aerys was about to burn down King's Landing. Jamie scarified his own reputation, potentially his life, to save the people. Then years later, he leaves behind his sister lover, who's pregnant with his nephew/niece/child to go fight for the living and save the world. And they have the nerve to make Jamie say he's never cared about the people? Give me a fucking break. They've taken this dude who pushed 8 year old lil Bran out a window without giving it a second thought into someone who is compassionate and carrying. Someone who won the heart of Brienne of Tarth, one of the most honourable people in the entire Seven Kingdoms. And you're going to tell me, nah bro, he's going to go support Cersei and comfort her and give his life for her. Give me a fucking break. It's hack writing. It's great from a production standpoint. The destruction of King's Landing, for a television show, absolutely amazing. Most of the acting is pretty great. In fact, Emilia Clarke, who I've never felt was a particularly strong actor, her scene on Drogon when she decides to burn the city... great!! Arya's whole sequence is awesome (and I hope they release the full 12 minute take at some point). The Hound vs The Mountain was a little silly in concept but was executed well. What I'm trying to say is there's a lot of good stuff in this show. But the writing, the plotting, however you want to describe it, was an embarrassment. A lot of things have happened in this season that would be fine for most standard television shows. But when seasons 1 - 4 contain a world that is so meticulously crafted, and you end with.... this. It's very obvious and very hard to watch.

Yikes. Everything up to The Bells was ok. Arya and Sandor's chat was great. Everything else. Oh god.

You guys... please don't make fun of me... but... I am playing, and enjoying, Final Fantasy XII. I know, I know. But it's actually, really cool! It reminds me of a single player MMO.

This fucking show

Where did she come from? Clearly she tapped into the speed force, did you not see that long hair White Walker's hair rustle?!?! I guess, as far as the TV show goes, Azor Ahai, The Prince that was Promised, The Long Night, all that stuff, didn't matter. Or maybe Arya is? If they can justify it, I'm ok with that being the case. It just didn't feel earned. Bran didn't do anything. What's his point??? So episode 4 must be wrapping up the north, preparing for Cersei. Episode 5 will be the Battle for King's Landing. Episode 6 will be the aftermath and wrapping everything up??
