Dio Brando 5,810 Posted March 4, 2018 Been a while since I felt like posting anything here but no one I know on Facebook had the game so might as well post this here My firetrucking God this game is such a disappointment.I was geniunely excited for Dissidia NT back when it was announced up until the closed beta.And playing through full game it looks like not much was improved there. The offline content is even less than the PSP duology and the way you progress in story mode is the stupidest thing I've ever seen in a fighting game campaign(you can only progress through using Memoria points which you get by either playing online or grinding your ass off in Gauntlet mode) As for the online,it was improved a bit compared to the closed beta but not by much and it's a faaaaar cry from the online of some other online arena fighters like Pokken Tournament.It takes forever for the game to match you with your other teammates and the opposing team and 6 times out of ten the game will simply say firetruck you we'll match you with dumb CPUs on your team(and you'll never with CPU teammates against a human controlled team) and sometimes you won't even fight online at all it'll be an all CPU match.It's really firetrucking bad.And whenever the game matches you with other humans,the connection ranges from passable with some lag to OH MY GOD AM I PLAYING BRAWL AGAIN.And even with passable connection the input lag can screw you over Also no local vs mode of any sort which is dumb considering that freakin DBZ Tenkaichi AND the Naruto Storm games had it with Tenkaichi using a split screen for it.Yes it's a 3v3 but it's also an arena fighter where you'll need to practice combos and familiarize yourself with the overly spacious stages(which is another gripe I have with the game).Also,and I hope someone proves me wrong on this,there is no voice chat of any sort in-game.Sure you can do party chat from within the Ps4 but you can't chat with randoms and the worst part is that even if there is an option to chat,there is no option to stick with a party like say Overwatch if you happen to find good players unless you add them to your friendlist. Ugh I should've bought Dragon Ball Fighter Z when I had the chance and I'm so fed up with Square Enix at this point I loved the Dissidia duology so much and spend close to 80 hours on each back in the day and I was geniunely excited for NT.But the signs were there since the closed beta but I tried to preserve the little faith I had that the issues would be fixed It's hilarious that they want this game to have a legit competitive scene yet never bothered to to refine the competitive elements of it but that's a topic for another day cuz I'm so done with this game 10 Clouded Sun, etagtyw, Kaweebo and 7 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clouded Sun 1,232 Posted March 4, 2018 I agree, I tried getting hyped for it since the Arcade announcement... I haven't bought the game and don't see myself buying it in the future (if I wanna play FF characters in fighting games, I'll just stick to Tekken and Smash where they did it right). The combat looks so slow and everything is just so far away and small. And no local multiplayer kills the game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hawk222 152 Posted March 4, 2018 I don't even have a PS+ subscription, so I can't play online. Even if I could, I'm not sure I'd have much fun with it. You have to grind individual characters to max level just to unlock all of their HP attacks, and that's just stupid to me because I want to try everything, not level-grind every character. People will say that you just use who you're good with, but why do I have to start from scratch to find a new character I might be good with? I almost feel like they shouldn't have included the offline modes if the majority of the game is centered around online play. 1 Dio Brando reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaweebo 3,617 Posted March 4, 2018 I foolishly pre-ordered it and, yeah, it sucks pretty bad. The story isn’t all that interesting, either. Honestly, they should have just remade the PSP games for the PS4 and been done with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hero of Winds 2,576 Posted March 4, 2018 Okay...So I played the original PSP titles and they were great and all, but did nobody seriously follow the arcade game that's been out in Japan for 3 years? I know it was talked about a lot here, but people can easily miss it. I knew what I was getting into with Dissidia NT and I never once hoped it would be like the PSP titles. What we got was what I expected, as I knew about the Arcade game. Pretty sad this is getting the short end of the stick here because it was highly successful in the arcades in Japan and everyone was begging for it to be put on the PS4.

Pretty sad this is getting the short end of the stick here because it was highly successful in the arcades in Japan and everyone was begging for it to be put on the PS4. Here is the thing,watching the game and actually playing it are totally two different things and even then there were problems with the gameplay back then Secondly,just because you're porting an arcade game doesn't mean the game has the excuse to be bare bones.....it's why arcade fighters like Blazblue and Tekken add additional modes when they jump from arcades to consoles This game doesn't even have practice mode or local multiplayer even when other arena fighters had it I don't even have a PS+ subscription, so I can't play online. Even if I could, I'm not sure I'd have much fun with it.

I almost feel like they shouldn't have included the offline modes if the majority of the game is centered around online play. And you can only use ONE HP attack at a time which is dumb and massively limit the potential for combos Sure I might want Meteo on Cloud for ranged options when I can't get close but I can't tell you how many times I set up a wall combo into Cross slash.......only to realize I don't have cross slash on me cuz my muscle memory is so used to the originals when I had more than one HP attack Edited March 5, 2018 by Dio Brando 1 hawk222 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Axtwyt 500 Posted March 5, 2018 It's really bad that the $60 console game is worse than the Free-to-play mobile game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted March 29, 2018 You know, I really wanted to get NT, but everything I've read about people saying how bad it is really discouraged me from getting it! I've been a fan of the Dissidia franchise since the first one released, and Duodecim forever became my favorite! I logged like 500+ hours into Duodecim, it was that fun and addicting! But the thing here is that NT seems to have even less content that either of the two installments, ya know? And that saddens me greatly, especially since Dissidia is such fun to play! I can only hope that further down along the line, Square releases a complete edition of the game with any new modes that would be integrated into the game, along with all the characters and whatnot, ya know? Oh, and I hope that a one vs. one mode is integrated as well, and then I'll buy the game, ya know? In the meantime, I'll enjoy myself with Opera Omnia, which is damn good! 1 Dio Brando reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted April 1, 2018 I should give Opera Omnia a chance as that looked legitimately exciting despite my dislike for mobile gaming I'm not a fan of mobile gaming myself. The only mobile games I have are on my iPad, and those are Kingdom Rush and it's sequel, which is Frontiers, Kingdom Hearts Union X and Dissida Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia! I'm more of a console and handheld gamer myself, but those four mobile games are ones I thoroughly enjoy! But back to Opera Omnia, I find you will enjoy that game deeply! It incorporates old school, turn based FF gameplay, but with a twist! You got bravery breaks and wall crushes, and those elements play into the turn based system and give the game a mix of old school FF with that modern Dissidia touch! The story is pretty cool, and there's tons of references to the journeys the characters have gone through in their respective games, and omg, the character roster is amazing, with more being added every month! I think that this Dissidia will easily get past 100 characters! I'm sure you'd take a liking to the game! It even has normal FF enemies like Goblins, Flans and the like in addition to the staple Manikins that the Dissidia series is known for! So yeah, I think you'll dig Opera Omnia!
