I'm well into Stormblood now and I can't help but notice the pacing issues with the MSQ. It switches from so good to kind of dull a few times youtu.be/blcRGu0Eg8w

Alright coming back to my #gamedev network with some open roles. Full remote, and official job posting will be coming next week. This is not in game dev sadly but the work is impactful.

I have 4 open reqs, looking to fill with full-stack engineers, mobile experience is a huge plus.

When it comes to Hades II vs the original I much prefer the boss fights of the first Hades. The HUB in the original was also more interesting to me.

Combat for Hades II seems to have a bit more going for it though

Final Fantasy 16 finished! I have thoughts…

I own a switch 2, I own Smash Ultimate as a virtual cart.

I’m at my parents and can’t play my game because it’s β€œloaded” on my old Switch which I left at home and its battery is dead. What an absolute stupid system.

Yes. This game has the hottest cast of men in any FF game imo.

At least it’s better than FF13, the only Final fantasy game I dropped and have had 0 interest in picking up again

I’m getting close to the end of FF16. I’m conflicted with this game, it’s a good game that toes the line of being a bit too bland but also interesting enough to see what’s next.

Like the combat seems to be just spam attack, dump 6 special attacks, repeat.

I feel like Wilds didn’t leave any meaningful emotional impact on me. Outside of the final scene of the hunter’s badass line, nothing else stuck with me

I didn’t ask which is better, just which one do you prefer more :)

After playing AC2 I spent the better half of an afternoon reading into the historic period of that game’s era. It was fascinating

Went into Dispatch knowing absolutely nothing about it and I'm just blown away. What an amazing game that's so well crafted!
