There was a time I would simply pick up a Square game just because it was Square.

Now I'm evenwaiting for the review scores of Final Fantasy games before buying.

Such are the standards since Enix merged with them.
The last good Square game I've played was Guardians of the Galaxy, that was a pleasant surprise. And I am not even a huge GOTG fan. It was just a well done, and good written title.

I heard that was really good, looking forward to playing that sometime down the line.
Yeah dude, it has hilarious humor. The bickering and constant shit talking between the characters is entertaining. Some people may find the dislogue a bit too frequent, but it didn't bother me that much because it was well voiced and funny.

Amy Hennig has had the worst luck with projects since she left Naughty Dog.

Ah well, there's still ff16, Stellar Blade and Spiderman 2 for ps5 this year.

Yeah, I feel bad for her. Also, didn't she get forced out to leave by Neil Druckmann at Naughty Dog? I don't believe she left by her own choice? I remember there was a lot of drama about that. Then EA fucked her over with the canceled Star Wars project and now forced to work on a cringe game with Square.

Nah, I think those stories were just made up hate by folks who got way too upset about tlou2 story.

That was fan fiction… she was not forced to left ND.

Edit - That was the real story about the IGN article:

lol i knew ACG wouldn't miss the opportunity to shit on this game. Half of the reviews say the combat is good, half of them say it's boring...sheesh, wonder who actually played the game and who cribbed their notes off of discord

I think it is a bit of both?
I found the combat in demo rater confusing and lagging (not responsible enough) but maybe with the time you can get used to it and even enjoy.

But even reaching the enjoy point I still knows the combat is that good… it is better than FFXV or The Witch 3’s combats if you compre at low level :D

ACG is xbot, so of course he do that.

Still bought. Something about this appeals to my personal taste. We'll see how it goes.

We only have assumptions and rumors about this, problably only FUD. In later interviews she said that wanted to do other kind of projects.

Amy Hennig has had the worst luck with projects since she left Naughty Dog.
Maybe in ND she was surrounded by super talented people who made her work shine, and in other teams it isn't the case.

Just admit it, you have a fetish for women that use words like cool, awesome and I rock, that tight fitting bracer also helps i bet :love:
