Stop pirating games you fags

No, because it's also $60. If it was $45 and it had no denuvo, I would.

You should pirate games with Denuvo on principle.

no :)

imagine being this cucked, holy shit

it's a shit game, you're not missing out on anything. it gets circlejerked here because it is (was) nintendo exclusive.
if you want to try it that much just wait 3 days for the crack

pirate?
its really easy anons, if the game has a price and DRM that convinces you, buy it, if it doesn't, pirate it
there are literally no consequences to pirating and you are free to support any developer you want when they actually put out a decent thing

Make more posts like this and I'll pirate MORE games. I pirate shit I already own. I pirate shit I fuckin' paid for.

I'm not 100% certain, but it wasn't a few months ago. It was actually A month ago. And it was on sale around Black Friday / Christmas.

''Aww, is someone mad because it's not Switch exclusive anymore?''

With ths board, you can never win. But seriously, it's a good game with an amazing soundtrack. But it's not worth 60 dollars/euros. And I bought it on day 1.

This was 1 of 2 Switch games I sold few days after purchase...

The first 2-3 hours are good thanks to the visuals, but it becomes boring with shit storylines, repetitive combat and nonsense design (I walked into a lvl 20 zone from a lvl 10 just because I made a wrong turn and got wiped out in the second turn of the combat).

It's 70$ in Russia, when regular AAA price is around 30$

Why are Switch exclusives leaving the system?

It's nice that you put 80+ hours length at top, like it's the most important segment of the game. if you are older than 30 and were growing up during the PS1 era, then you know that the majority of those RPGs were 30-40 hours long, and people had no problems with it. Now, games (not every, but a huge number of them) are long for absolutely no reason. Take Dragon Quest 11 - that is a perfect example of a game that is 3 times longer than it should be.
I have no complaint about all other things you mentioned becuase I agree with you. But you forgot to mention the important part, the story. It's not very good and characters don't interact with each other.

Game is pretty disappointing anyway.

Then stop giving me reasons to pirate them

Denuvo Anti-Tamper, more commonly known as Denuvo, is an anti-tamper technology and digital rights management (DRM) scheme developed by Austrian software company Denuvo Software Solutions GmbH, a subsidiary of Irdeto.

>But you forgot to mention the important part, the story. It's not very good and characters don't interact with each other.

No, Gameplay is the important part and it's the area where Octopath succeeds the most, clearly. The gameplay and its battle system, party customization and dozens of epic boss battles more than make up for any other flaw the game has.

t. never played the game

Length can varies depending on how you play the game. If you try to rush through the games and just want to complete it, of course it's going to be. Personally I grinded for about a few hours total and also spent hours exploring the world looking for items and summons for H'aanit. Pic related.

You probably think playing the first 10 hours of a 80+ hours long game then dropping it counts as "playing" the game you fucktard.

If it didn't have denuvo it would be immediately pirated and you'd be screaming "based fitgirl!" or some shit.

For one smartass, how do you explain the pic at even though the game is supposedly 40 hours long according to you?

I don't often post here let alone reply to such inane garbage, however I feel that it's worth mentioning that for anyone on the fence here, this game cannot boast having voice acting. If this has voice If this has voice acting, so do Pokemon games. 90% of the voice acting is someone saying "Hmmm...." Or in-battle attack lines (literally 1-2 per char), and 1 (maybe 2?) per char of when you win a fight / defeat an enemy. Extremely repetitive garbage. There are some stoey segments that are voice acted but at least 90% of dialogue is not. If you've played Battletech, it's llike that. Maybe a few words or a "No!" When the line is something like "No, I won't follow you into that tavern! Haven't you heard about the quality of the characters who frequent that place?!" - one word out of about 20 is voiced. Maybe. And just like fallout 1 and 2, most characters have no voice actingat all.

Underrated

I certainly remember most if not all cutscenes having the character speak full sentences and shit. Are we playing the same game?

It's the best thing about the game and it's 7/10 at best. That includes more standout tracks like the battle thene and town theme.

>cutscenes
This is the only voiced part. Cutscenes are usually voiced even in games with otherwise no voice acting.

No there are fully voiced conversations that transpire during the main quest only. Quality work too.

I don't have to explain anything about some fag who even admitted he wasted time grinding around.
The game is mediocre, it starts off with an interesting premise but constantly underdelivers in every single aspect of the games it tries to ape, it's another one of those games for people who don't really play or like JRPGs and don't know any better than mediocrity, or simply can't deal with something that isn't deliberately mediocre.

>Cutscenes are usually voiced even in games with otherwise no voice acting
Not true, you haven't played many games. Voice acting is production values and raises the price whether you care about it or not. I personally don't give a flying fuck about voices, especially in a game like Octopath but I still don't think that it's fair to be so entitled to voices that you disregard them when considering the game's price.

All of this is bullshit. I'm currently 50 hours in and haven't done a single chapter 4 yet. Also missed plenty of optional stuff so far.
The systems are very well done and you can figure out many diverse strategies for all of the challenges provided. Not sure what you'd consider a better JRPG since I play lots of such games and most pale in comparison.

Soooo you're going to completely ignore my argument & evidence suggesting that you vastly underestimated the game's length? Ok retard

>you could at least say something about it.
I already did, you want me to go into details, I can, but I'd rather talk about what I liked rather than what I disliked.
I liked the path actions even though they were rendered pointless by the fact that you could access all of them whenever you wanted, which means there's no actual commitment to them and all of those supposed unique actions end up being just common tools locked behind a clunky system.
I liked the multiple MC premise before it turned out that it didn't matter and the cast was just that, just eight characters, the same exact mistake Legend of Legacy did, but even there Legend of Legacy still had more commitment to your MC of choice.
I liked the down to earth stories of most characters, it did make the world feel more believable...until they turned out to be all connected to a generic big bad, but they were still pleasant for most of them.
I liked the idea of a relevant weakness system, until I found out that all the weaknesses were arbitrary and the game didn't follow any real logical system behind them, it's better than most Squareshit in that regard, but barely.
I liked the amount of freedom of progression you have, it was perhaps the only thing the game did flawlessly in theory, were it not for the fact that you have random encounters
>Inb4 you have passives for reducing those
Doesn't mean shit, random encounters were bad back then and they're bad now, especially for a game like Octopath.

It's an incredibly flawed game that doesn't go above mediocre unless, and only unless you don't play many JRPGs to begin with, and if that's the case I can understand getting your mind blown, but the game isn't anything special to anyone who does.

This entire chunk is just you saying you didn't like it without saying why.
Was it the fact that they didn't interact outside of party chat?
Was it the general story?
Or was it a specific character?

Saying something is arbitrary doesn't mean it is you retard. Most of the enemies outside of bosses with shifting weaknesses have set and logical weaknesses like bird or flying enemies always being weak to spears or bows.

60 buckaroos is a steep fucking price for a port, but it is as close to a throwback to the good old days we can possibly get.

The story breaks my immersion.
Like in Primrose's chapter 3 when she gets stabbed after the boss battle. The game expects you to believe she's alone even though a boss fight just happened. It really takes me out of the story because it's so jarring.
Or in Olberic's chapter 4, the guards charging a toll for entry is supposed to be this huge deal even though I'd been to that city several times before that chapter and never had to pay a toll. The world is not cohesive

you have been in every single Octopath thread in recent memory. Same excuses every time. Why do you persist in threads for a game that you obviously do not like? Do you hate yourself?

Older than you.
>This entire chunk is just you saying you didn't like it without saying why.
Because there's no commitment to any of them, I thought I made it clear?
Especially for a game that starts with the premise of multiple characters you can select, which ends up having no impact on anything outside of where you start the game from.
Having just eight playable characters on top of it all is pretty damn disappointing, if the game did lock your main character so that you'd only see their story and could only use their path ability it would be a bit better, but as it is, it's piss poor.
>undeads are weak to light. Clothies are weak to swords. Birds are weak to bows.
Yeah, meanwhile pirates are weak to bows and lightning while other humans like the retainers somehow aren't, a river bug is weak to spears while a slayer bug somehow isn't despite being both bugs, Omar is weak to spears (and daggers) despite wearing heavy armor while a faggot in a dress like Werner is somehow weak to Axes of all things (and also daggers).
There's zero logic and very little consistency outside of the weakness system itself making little sense.

>Because there's no commitment to any of them, I thought I made it clear?
Which means absolutely nothing.

>pirates are weak to bows and lightning while other humans like the retainers somehow aren't
you can't be this dumb for your supposed age. Think about it, pirates and lightning.

This is without going into other games with multiple characters where not only the choice does matter, you also get to play around with someone other than the MCs you didn't choose.

You should be feeling bad for all the Octo-fans who now knows they will never get a sequel because SE clearly hates this game with a passion.

Says the person who can't stick to a single story.
Tell us how it's a bad thing. You have the choice of playing one or all of the stories so there should be no problem.

Hell do you even own the game?
Do you even have a switch.

Eh, the game sold admit 1.5m so chances of a sequel are high all things considered.

I pity the faggots who played this instead of XB2 on Switch.

It's not even a great game, it's mediocre.

Combat is fucking bad compared to bravely default, a straight downgrade.

Is this just because it's not on ps4?

thanks, will try those.

>you've never played
I did

>Says the person who can't stick to a single story.
The point isn't sticking to a single story, the point is that there's literally no reason to and the game isn't built for that either, which also makes the initial choice of a main character at the beginning absolutely pointless since it has no real effect on how the game plays out outside of again, the starting point on the map, which is why I said there's no commitment to your choices, coupled with the fact that your Path actions aren't locked either (and outside of Tressa and Therion's have not much use either).
If you weren't that worried about all the blood you're leaking from your asshole and bothered reading a simple post chain you'd have got this simple complaint minutes ago.

What makes it all the more disappointing is that not even Legend of Legacy fucked up this bad on that point, at least there the game is built up around the protagonist you choose and makes you stick up with them for real.

Then why can't you ever talk about it?
Not to mention you've never posted any proof.

You sound legitimately autistic. No, I don't give a fuck about making my numbers go up. All JRPGS besides maybe the Tales games have objectively shit gameplay, the draw is the story and the world and if that sucks there is literally no reason to play one.
