Final Fantasy XV?

[TaraJo]

Ok. Got a Gamestop giftcard for Christmas, so I went and got FF XV (and Rock Band, since I had a little money left over). So far, I've realized two things:

1) It's really irritating that whenever you get new games nowadays, you have to wait for a bunch of junk to upload before you can even play it. I still remember the good ol' days when I could slip a brand new PS2 game into the console and play it without having to wait for any updates.

2) I've gotten so damn used to using the analog stick to move my cursor around that using the directional pad feels really weird. I mean, even the PS4 menu uses the analog, but once I start this game, it's out. Ugh.

Anyway, I suppose I should watch Kingsglaive. I might find a less-than-authorized method of doing so or I might just shell out the money. I can afford to spend a little money.

Why not ask the master reviewer?

Two problems here:
1)  He doesn't seem to be a fan of Final Fantasy games in general.  I can get that, but I AM a fan of those games, so my feelings about it aren't going to be exactly like his.
2)  Critics and players don't always have the same feelings about games.  Or movies.  Or TV shows.  Or, really, anything.  That's why I want to hear what other players think as opposed to what a critic thinks.

If it has emotional cutscenes that make me cry, and that great Japanese orchestral scoring, then I'll like it no matter what.  I'm positive.

If it has a punk rock soundtrack and too much, "Yo dude. . . we gotta get in this care, bruh" then I might lose interest pretty fast.
