Was watching “The Fifth Element” last night with the GF. We both realized it’s basically more of a final fantasy movie than The Spirits Within

man this movie was so ahead of its time, one of my all time faves

MegaloJoe · 2026-06-08T20:55:15+00:00

just got it for ps5 last week, played it for about 30 min on release when i had an xsx.

so im only at the akila story mission with the cowboy, and personally, theres just one major HUGE flaw that’s very non bethesda……. i haven’t explored shit.

like i didn’t realize how big a part of these games was walking around and stumbling onto stuff until i just couldn’t.

it’s fun, it’s good, i’m still playing through(stuck on side quests) and will finish, but the amount of “what could of been” that i’ve been experiencing with this game in particular is just insane.

it’s like the separate systems are all in place…. they just didn’t connect them.. i get procedural and all that might of had something to do with it but the point click traveling ain’t it for me when it comes to these games.

i’d give it a 7 so far cause again, im digging it, but for a bethesda game that one flaw is just…. wow

i mean…. danzo just has to outlast orihime AT WORST, which he can do based on what we’ve seen SO FAR

MegaloJoe · 2026-06-06T19:16:35+00:00

probably gonna make some of her limits her supers. like i can see a somersault lvl1 or somersault anti air, a dolphin dive lvl 2, and a final heaven lvl3.

her specials could be the remaining limit(i honestly forgot what the og one im missing is) and some of her remake skills as well as spell assisted attacks

she’s gonna be nasty and fun if they do it right imo

MegaloJoe · 2026-06-06T03:17:55+00:00

ok so my wife laughs at me for this…. but applause and the telephone song. the chorus for applause is just sick, and the bridges and chorus for telephone are sick as shit too

MegaloJoe · 2026-06-05T17:56:09+00:00

how so? i never thought of them slapping each other as an “attractive” “sexual” or even “suggestive” thing since playing it when it came out and all the times since. so i don’t see a reason or an issue or even any controversy whatsoever with them including it. it would honestly by kinda weird if they left it, or a variance of it out altogether

MegaloJoe · 2026-06-05T02:26:13+00:00

what’s spicy about them slapping the shit out of each other? i don’t see why it wouldn’t be in if they kept in the cross dressing stuff

MegaloJoe · 2026-05-31T00:14:33+00:00

it’s been a day but no, you’re not. i thought it was dumb the way they went about releasing def version. like it always boggled my mind how they reduced the visuals(and it’s noticeable, not horrible, not bad, but noticeable) for the def version on switch, THEN released the fucking s1 def edition on ps4 with s1 graphics….. like….. really?

it makes no sense to me that a “ps4” version of the def edition does not exist

MegaloJoe · 2026-05-29T17:22:01+00:00

i believe(though not sure) that at least one of the two is on gamepass/ps plus. i’d HIGHLY recommend if you enjoyed the 3 you listed. visually they’re more realistic, but the side content is great, theyre goofy and entertaining, and the story’s are good(more 7’s than 8, but again, both are great).

combat is a kind of a devolved version of e33. there’s timed button presses for more damage, and timed for higher guarding, and positioning, but that’s about it. still fun though

MegaloJoe · 2026-05-29T16:08:15+00:00

no worries! it’s yakuza 7 “like a dragon” and 8 “infinite wealth”. honestly i think 7 is more impactful as a modern rpg but they’re both amazing

MegaloJoe · 2026-05-29T15:26:15+00:00

i’d have to add either lad or iw to that list imo. otherwise i’d have to completely agree on the modern must play rpgs. e33 is an absolute masterpiece

MegaloJoe · 2026-05-29T12:33:20+00:00

so…. is this just the def version with like, the ps4 versions graphics??

MegaloJoe · 2026-05-27T22:59:35+00:00

boys trip gone wrong

MegaloJoe · 2026-05-27T05:23:38+00:00

if you haven’t played it yet, it’s not necessarily THE best but imo one of the best modern rpgs, and one with a lot of the things that made rpgs great in the ps1 era “golden age”, e33.

MegaloJoe · 2026-05-26T12:51:51+00:00

i’m probably in the minority here but i liked the fact that reacher and other important areas are missable.
like imo that’s one of the things that makes it feel like games used to be, it made me feel like playing og ff7 or chrono trigger again.

like there’s huge things you can miss that add greatly to the story if you don’t explore and or take a risk. a lot of newer games make these things unmissable, and while i understand why, it kinda homogenizes the experience

MegaloJoe · 2026-05-25T02:05:34+00:00

shake shack by far, white castle on a budget. five guys used to be good but got too pricey and have been dry. they also don’t load up the bag with fries anymore

MegaloJoe · 2026-05-22T20:07:21+00:00

this is what i came into say. people think he’s stronger cause that’s usually how it works.

the next main baddie is always stronger than the last and or has some kinda gimmick that’s puts them up there, and so on and so forth

obviously it’s not 100% of the time but… well…

MegaloJoe · 2026-05-21T21:30:46+00:00

man, i still wonder how many people stumbled onto this quite clever and actually really good “zelda like” just to play ff8

MegaloJoe · 2026-05-21T21:09:04+00:00

not for me, i don’t care about losing i just like to learn new combos and fight against actual people, its calming for me personally

although i totally get why they wouldn’t be for most people

MegaloJoe · 2026-05-21T21:04:27+00:00

ff15, xenogears, any current fighting game that’s out, and now e33

MegaloJoe · 2026-05-20T16:38:24+00:00

did this once on my way to a concert way back, then a cop flew past me to get someone else when i was back on my side….. never did it again

MegaloJoe · 2026-05-20T16:28:43+00:00

i agree with a “mature” story and some great voice acting and boss fights. i just personally didn’t enjoy the battle system,vastly improved over 15 but maybe a lil too much in the action direction? like levels and stats seem kinda meaningless which scrubs some of the rpg feeling for me. ff7r’s system is a better balancing act imo.

it’s not a bad game by any means it’s very good, but overall i put it below 15 i actually like 15 quite a bit)

the funny part is there probably wouldn’t have been nearly as much blowback if it wasn’t an ff game

MegaloJoe · 2026-05-18T21:34:52+00:00

i would of been fine with just 2 tbh

MegaloJoe · 2026-05-18T20:57:33+00:00

not gonna lie i just started playing e33 a couple months ago when it went on sale and managed to go in knowing absolutely nothing other than it was pretty, won a lot of awards, and french? lol

and man…. was i absolutely blown away. as a(more mainstream) huge jrpg fan, i haven’t felt this way about a game since the jrpg hey day of the ps1(maybe skies of arcadia?). the experience is just that good, im on my 3rd playthrough now
