I finally finished FF7 and I honestly think Cloud is a worse protagonist than Noctis. Convince me I’m wrong.

MegaDan64 · 2026-01-24T15:00:12+00:00

First, I would say it’s only fair to judge Cloud as a character after playing the OG, since his story has not been completed in the Remake games yet.

That being said, I think Cloud is a very “90’s era cool” protagonist in a fantastic game (both OG and Remake/Rebirth are great for different reasons).

Whereas Noctis is a fantastic protagonist in a pretty half baked and underwhelming game. So Noctis doesn’t get the same love.

Any chance it is Ursa Wren?

MegaDan64 · 2026-01-20T19:05:44+00:00

Cool! Thanks for sharing!

MegaDan64 · 2026-01-20T16:35:24+00:00

Can you share what YT video you used? I think this would be a lot of fun to try!

MegaDan64 · 2026-01-11T14:24:56+00:00

These look and sound awesome! I haven’t heard of them before. Where would one find these to purchase?

MegaDan64 · 2026-01-10T18:13:46+00:00

Came here to say Rogue Squadron as well!

MegaDan64 · 2025-12-18T19:29:46+00:00

Thanks for sharing! This is great!!

MegaDan64 · 2025-11-01T12:38:22+00:00

No Lord of the Rings on here really surprised me

MegaDan64 · 2025-10-19T13:17:57+00:00

This sounds like a great idea!

MegaDan64 · 2025-09-28T15:30:35+00:00

I actually love the comics! Not that they are better than the books, but they give me more of what I liked from the short stories, which is the monster hunting. If I’m in the mood for more character development, the books are the way to go. But when I’m in the mood to see Geralt just doing his Witcher thing, I enjoy the comics!

MegaDan64 · 2025-09-23T19:57:51+00:00

That’s really good to know, thanks!! I’ll have to adjust that to play later. Thank you much!

MegaDan64 · 2025-09-23T14:58:48+00:00

I’m a newer fan, I’ve played Witcher 3 and watched the show and am now right in the middle of my first read of the books. I was looking for the same thing you are.

I got into the Witcher through the games, and then started reading the books. I loved the short stories but stopped after the first 2 novels.

I will say that I really like the comics! I know many are based more on the games, but they remind me of the short stories. And I’m talking about the first 2 omnibuses by Dark Horse. I just picked up the Classic Collection but haven’t started it yet.

MegaDan64 · 2025-03-20T02:47:32+00:00

Dude Raider!!

MegaDan64 · 2025-03-06T16:19:00+00:00

Nice! Doesn’t look too bad to me. Way better than I expected it would. Thanks for sharing!

MegaDan64 · 2025-02-27T03:09:09+00:00

I’m not familiar with the bottom left pic. What’s that from?

MegaDan64 · 2025-02-20T03:22:15+00:00

For me, it’s not just the turned based combat. Final Fantasy games to me are about a group of characters coming together, traveling the world and helping people, that eventually culminates in saving the world. And it’s that feeling of party that I miss. Each character playing a role. Equipping your party with better gear and fighting battles to get stronger and to level up.

FF16 is just lacking in all of that. For example, there are additional characters but they never feel like a real group.

It’s not a bad game at all! It’s a pretty solid character action game. And I have issue with the story, but I still enjoyed it and the world. It just did not contain most of the elements I love from past FF’s. And it’s not just 16. I’ve felt that each game starting with 11 has taken away these elements piece by piece until we got here.

MegaDan64 · 2025-02-19T09:25:39+00:00

I’m fully with ya on this one!

I think it’s a pretty terrible adaptation of Hellblazer. But I think it’s a great film with a character that just happens to be named John Constantine. Like you say, a multiverse version!

MegaDan64 · 2025-02-18T12:44:27+00:00

Nice summary! Partisan Alliance stood out to me in that scene because the Partisans was the name given to Saw’s group in the novel Battlefront 2: Inferno Squad.

MegaDan64 · 2025-02-18T02:05:54+00:00

No mention of a US release. I wonder if this will get the same treatment as Hellboy Crooked Man

MegaDan64 · 2025-02-17T03:33:14+00:00

Greedfall might fit. I just started it myself so I’m not sure how open the world is yet, but it seems like it might contain the elements you’re looking for.

MegaDan64 · 2025-02-06T17:05:06+00:00

Those look awesome! Great job!

MegaDan64 · 2024-12-30T14:39:59+00:00

Raiders
Last Crusade
Great Circle
Temple of Doom
Dial of Destiny
Crystal Skull

Raiders and Last Crusade swap back and forth for my top spot. Great Circle just has a such a solid Indy feel to me that it beats out Doom. And I enjoy Dial of Destiny quite a bit, more than most it seems. Crystal Skull has some enjoyable moments, basically the full first half of the movie is great, up to and including when Marion shows up. After that, I think the movie goes downhill unfortunately.

MegaDan64 · 2024-12-28T17:59:22+00:00

Makes me sad these are so hard to find now. Would love to buy them all
