How much money did SEGA and Haxman shill out for critics to give it scores it doesn't deserve?
the game is 6 at best, and that's being generous.
What? No, it's a 10 at best, it's a 10 point scale, so 10 is the de facto "best".

If you're familiar with sonic it's a 9. Otherwise it could easily be a 7. It doesn't fix any of the series flaws, but rather paints over them lovingly.
>Sonic Mania is the highest rated Sonic game on Metacritic in the last 15 years
What the fuck went so wrong that a ragtag group of fan game developers managed to outclass professional game developers?

What the fuck, Platinum? This is still bullshit. Is it going to be picked up again or what?
>Scalebound was supposed to be Platinums magnum opus and Microsoft's next big franchise
>Nier Automata was their side project which Sony didn't pay a cent for it's original exclusivity because Japanese people don't play on Xbox and only got on PC bevause enough people asked for it
>Scalebound got canned and Nier Automata sold and scored well enough to “save” Platinum
Kinda funny when you think about it

I wasn't even aware it was out.
we already did this 6 years ago when sr3 came out.
I want this to be god but it looks so mediocre. Dumbass Iga should have just made a 2D game for the 3DS. It would have been done like a year ago.
>>387290148
Mechanically it's exactly like what everyone wanted from the game.
Aesthetically it is up in the air.
Personally I dig the doll house Stage play feel of the art direction.
>>387290148
2D is easier to start but is infinitely harder to finish. Drawing all these assets, adjusting their lighting and polishing them all by hand is a fucking nightmare especially if you want the resolution to be good. I would agree with >>387290272, mechanics are good but art needs polishing. They came a long way from initial screenshots so I hope they just don't rush it and polish it enough even if it means more delays. They also have a fuckton of other promised shit that I would be fine with being patched in later on but idk about kicktrarter policy toward it.

Is FF8 worth playing? Why is there a stigma attached to this game? What is considered "bad" about it?
I am playing through FF7 for the first time and aside from the dated look of it, it still has alot of charm and some amazing music for the time. For the record I was 9 when FF7 was released and did not understand the mechanics of turn based rpgs. I did buy FF8 when it came out, but being a dumbass kid, I still couldnt figure out how to play RPGs. I do remember some amazing cutscenes though and would like to play it through once I beat 7.
Yes.Just don't expect a coherent story. It's got a nice setting and the mechanics are fun. Also the card game is goat.
Honestly when it comes to FF even if the game is objectively bad the story is at least unique. With the shit fest that is 8 at least the story is weird/unique enough that people still argue whether squall is dead, Rinoa is the sorceress or etc...
The story becomes very weird after Disc 1, and the characters and dialogue may be weird from time to time, but that may be because teenagers are actually behaving like teenagers, something every storyteller ever, especially in Japan, seems to have forgotten.
The combat mechanics make it easy to break the game, especially if you invest in the card game. You raise your stats by equipping GF (the summonable monsters) with the corresponding stat junction ability. Said abilities allow you to junction magic to those stats. Strong, well stocked magic makes it better.
By using refinement abilities (again through GFs), you can easily mod cards and loot to gain access to -ga tier spells, making every fight ever a breeze.
The game never tells you, but monsters scale with your level, and they gain much better stats than you do, so abusing the junction system is expected to give you an edge.
Anyone else importing?

Not a fucking chance. They can either localize it or I won't buy it.
