French reference jeuxvideo.com gave WFF an 18/20, apparently it's very good.

Part of the reason its in bin is because atm I have shit internet and cant download .. now I am reading its on PS4/Vita, well that's not for me.

Why couldn't it be a more descent time like 20:00?

Because 20h00 today is the 27th, not the 28th
Anyone took a look at World of Final Fantasy ?

may try the demo but footage looks a bit too cutesy for me which is a shame as i like the mashup idea....one to pick up cheap, i think....just fucking give me ff15 already...jeez...

just finished the main story of rise of the tomb raider - more of the post-uncharted same so fine by me, though one wonders how many times these games can tread basically the same storyline...but who ever played tomb raider for the story? ive grown resigned to the fact i will never get lost or confused as in tr3 or enjoy puzzles like st francis' folly any more so this as a platforming adventure is fine by me....as with the first, have sold on now and will pick up cheap in the future to wade through all the stuff ive missed...just going to pootle on the dlc, looking forward to the baba yaga one...

unsure what's next, may be star ocean or the bioshock collection...or one of the dozens of psn games ive accumulated....or even the world of ff demo....

Thing is that it was advertised to release the 27th and in the UK it does release the 27th, at 23:00.

Got what in email? The game? Why/how? And why did you throw it in the bin?

tuco wrote:Because the world is fucked up. I mean what would happen if they release it at 20:00? Seriously. I am willing to be convinced that something would happen despite I think nothing would. Nothing.

People would not have to either, wait up until the midlle of the night to try it, or wait until the next afternoon, on a workday.

I was refering to the game itself, never heard of any email or marketing campaign.

Its like UncertainSloth assumed. Instead of writing .. I got an email from Square Enix that free demo is available .. I wrote .. got it in email. I assume, possibly wrongly, that those who read and reply to what I write are like UncertainSloth. /shrugs

Really like the game.
They greatly improved the combat system.

The only hitch up so far is that, on pc, one of the combo's requires you to press the maps button and dash button at the same time.
And while all other multiple-key combos so far work fine, if I try that combo, it just opens the map while dashing forward.

Pretty much just playing WoW.

Legion has got me grasped firmly by the balls and won't let me go. Best WoW ever.

Playing Divinity Original Sin with the wife. Enjoying it but it's stupidly hard even on the "Classic" difficulty. It varies hugely in difficulty and the structure of the questing is a bit crazy.

Two different side quests gave me the same reward, access to the library. The library gave me access to play scripts for another quest with a troop of players, completing this side quest was important in a third side quest to steal a talking head. Completing that quest then gives a summon spell for a follower who is part of another side quest (or main quest, I'm really not sure at this point)

I've yet to play Divinity OS but, I really should, given how much I enjoyed Divine Divinity. The original was not a forgiving game in its own right and its open structure meant you could easily wander into areas with tough mobs before you were ready and they'd just destroy you.

The guards do warn you that certain areas are above your skill level. However, as the whole game is open from the start you can circumvent and sequence break. We've been kerb stomped a couple of times and came back later. Using the environment and the mechanics to your advantage is vital.

i enjoyed original sin but it does get ridiculously hard very early on...love the original &, despite its foibles, divinity 2...

finished all the dlc for rottr this morning....some nice touches in croft manor dlc and enjoyed the cold darkness/baba yaga ones...

just reminded myself i need to finish inquisition and its dlc....buggeration, so many games and such little free time...

Stumbled upon a reference to Russell's Teapot while playing Stellaris.

Despite the many issues I have with the new Civilisation 6, it does have excellent music by Christopher Tin:

Tell us about the issues. I'm a Civ fan wondering whether to splash the cash.

I've been wondering whether it's worth getting all XXXX about Civ 6, so dish the dirt, please.
