Final Fantasy 13-2

I would agree with that statement, wasn't the best but was by no means bad! And most definitely one of the most beautiful games i have ever played or seen!

 

What your talking about is an AI director. Basically it studies the players and tweaks things based on the current play-style to counter them. It also has quite a bit of randomization in there to make things unpredictable. I only know of two games that do this though and their implementations are very specific to their game type.

Games:
L4D
Alien Swarm

 

sort of but not really, at least not the way they are right now. They use the AI director to add to the tension and keep things fresh with the difficulty setting. I'm also not looking to suggest to add more pRNG to encounters, as that doesn't help address the feeling of being cheated when it blocks you. It's more about having a flexible ability/effect system that allows the AI to shift it around a little depending on how well the team reacts to it.

Also, implementation is technically outside of the scope so someone could implement an AI director to use my models but I would not be saying how to inside of it due to size constraints.

There's also other suggestions I have but they fall outside of the scope of the paper Hopefully I can get to chat with some good people at GDC this year and get industry feedback on it.

 

So is it at worth renting? FF13 that is.

 

Yes it is. Good luck finish it in the space of a rental, though (unless you're using GameFly)

 

yes, but there is so much extra shit that its rediculous, the storyline took a good decent chunk....if you rushed it with a guide you could easily blow through it in 3-4 days, but i grinded it out at a few spots to be safe and it pays off

 

Extra stuff...?

The only extra content it had was bounty missions.

 

<- Is a trophy whore. Getting all the ultimate weapons is no easy task.

 

Have to say the only thing i disliked about 13 was that to beat the achievement encounters you had to use a specific party, and that happened to be the exact opposite of the party i liked.

 

Best party was lightning, fang and hope......seriously that shit was OP


but getting ultimate weapons wasn't as fun as it was in previous games it just consumed a lot of grinding and upgrading it was BORING.

In FFX you raced a chocobo to unlike a piece of Tidus's stuff everything was different this one you got everyones by simply upgrading damn weapons lol.

 

Yeah I know they were OP but I fucking hate hope with a passion so I used lightning, sazh, and vanille.
