Final Fantasy 15 PC Features Free Half-Life Content For A Limited Time

@lonesamurai1: I don't disagree, but it depends of the theme, Bethesda selling point is the sandbox mechanics, so the more mods for them, the better. Now Witcher is more about the story, the literal role of the witcher and etc... So if CDPR give the community enough tools to drastically change the game, the main point (character driven focus) will ended up lost in the process. FFXV tried to reach a (coward) middle-ground between sandbox and a compelling story, it failed at both. And the mods will be just naturally limited by the game lack of personality.

@gleencross: I don't know the sales figures, but it does feel as if Square Enix is pushing this game as if it's a game that has been one of the most successful in it's history, when the story and characters were largely forgettable. The game wanted to be a giant open world game but I was to explore and complete the world in about 2 weeks time and that's only play a few hours a day. They keep pushing out new content as episodes where I feel like I need to replay the main story just to remember it and understand how this extra content fits in. Also, sales numbers don't always equate excitement for the game or characters. I just think they're going to keep pushing out content as if this is an MMORPG, when it has a weak foundation and they should be sketching a new better story for the next game.

@lonesamurai1: How does that Kool-aid taste? Grape, or Cherry?

@lonesamurai1: Fair, but it doesn't matter if they are building this from the ground up, the core of the product is still defective. Did you played this game before? I did, my friend has a PS4 and I experimented the first couple of hours... And it's terrible. You need extra material do understand wth is going on regarding the plot, there's some slight performance dips, the characters have no charisma whatsoever, the combat was streamlined to the point of button mashing, etc.. It is really not that good. You know what the PC version will ultimately become: this game is the new crysis. People will use this game for benchmarking, that's the sad reality. They had the PC development in mind and etc.. yes, that's why this will become the new crysis. From one of the greatest franchises in the industry, diminished to a benchmark tool. And you still think this is worth your time and money? Well... good luck. I played this franchise for almost 15 years, I don't think they deserve another chance.

@gleencross: I don't, even with references, even if it's 'related' it's unique enough to be considered it's own thing. I think The Portal series hold on it's own more than HL at this point, simply because as of yet it's unsurpassed, even if I prefer games like Talos Principle or Antichamber I know they're not as 'wholesome' as Portal. Some people below though thought I was attacking their beloved franchise, I wasn't. I simply moved on.

@lonewolf1044: There is no denying it. I just moved on from HL and so did the industry.

@dostunuz: You can't though, actually, you can't do a single thing other than being grumpy.

@dostunuz: Don't worry, I can like your comment to make up for it.

@edussz: It's not like there are any Half Life games to promote.

@gleencross: I will agree that Persona is still good, but in my opinion that's because they stick to the tried and true turn based gameplay that SMT games are known for. The characters and story for P5 were really good too. But I do think FF6-FF10 would still be great if released today on DS. Same thing for Chrono Trigger. Radiant Historia is more modern, has a lot of the same cliches, and is a great game. If anything, these days, Random Sandbox Open World RPG #93 is way more cliche and that's basically what they did with the series with FF15.

@lion2447: They will probably have DLC materia for summons from other games or things like that. Outfits for characters from other FF games is almost a given I'm sure since like all RPGs do that these days, and that breaks immersion for me. They will probably have like a gunblade model for Cloud's sword, maybe Tidus style sword, etc.

@tsunami2311: Dragonquest 11 is turn based so it should be good and you should definitely buy it to show square enix with money what you want since it's all they will really understand (I know I will). Final fantasy 7 remake however I won't be buying and recommend that fans of the original do the same. They are changing almost everything about FF7, the combat will be different, the story will be changed, and even how the game will release will be different (over time in episodic format)

@tsunami2311: oh yeah, I just want FFVII with updated graphics and everything else stay the same... is that too much to ask??

@tsunami2311: I member!

@Barighm: Making a whole game is tough... You can see by the amount of time that is taking Black Mesa to come out. But at this point I'd be happy playing a HL3 side scrolled...

@Barighm: Mod teams can't come up with original content, all they do are remakes and perhaps spiritual continuations.

The big thing here everyone is gasping at is the story. Sure it's easy to make a game where a guy smacks monsters with a crowbar, but it will probably be all different than what Valve would make.

Of course the "leaked" HL3 script could maybe push someone to try creating it pretty soon
