The combat in this game takes a great deal of strategy. First, you potion. Then, you potion. But THEN, when the enemy has you on the ropes, you potion.
I swear to god I used to know everything about Metal Gear like the back of my hand, and every Final Fantasy game I ever played was definitely easier to understand. For one thing, at that time they (FF)didn't have many sequels. Metal Gear was this whole franchise that would retcon thing's contantly for a good twist. Final Fantasy would release one self-contained, but elaborate narrative. The best policy in both cases was always to consider the source and the chronology of the information. If a more trustworthy character told you something later that conflicted with what the villain told you earlier, then what the villain told you was a lie. A lot of people seem to struggle with this basic rule.
@@futurestoryteller Nah, I'd definitely say Metal Gear is easier. Heck, the only thing that tops Final Fantasy in how outright confusing it can be is Kingdom Hearts. Even to this day, I don't understand a single thing about that franchise.
futurestoryteller I agree Like final fantasy VII is probably the biggest franchise of the Final Fantasy franchise and I still understand that easily Other games such as XIII and X have only 2 games in their franchises and the rest is one however mgs has side games, prequels and all sorts of stuff to make it confusing
@@6ixlxrd It's funny. At the basis of literally every Final Fantasy game is: "We're gonna save the world!" but then you have all this confusing, convoluted mumbo-jumbo like time traveling and primordial alien species and ancient-sentient-mecha-godzilla-like machine destroyer monsters and science experiments and talking cats and all this other stuff that usually gets told in one massive exposition dump I'd simply ignore as a child (because all I wanted was to play the game) and STILL can't really wrap my head around as an adult. Metal Gear is a walk in the park compared to that. And boy, don't even get me started on Kingdom Hearts. At least I can understand bits and pieces of each Final Fantasy game. Kingdom Hearts is...can't even think of a word to describe that mess, especially 3 (which is supposed to be the "real" 3 yet is not the "real" 3 at the same time because all those side games you thought weren't part of the main story were actually somehow part of the main story and everything that conflicts with that main story took place in an alternate dimension with alternate versions, some evil, of characters existing during a different alternate point in time that allows clones to time travel and SO much other bs I just gave up on).
I just know that in FFX he was very hard to kill (or hit, cant remember) and he escaped the battle almost always BUT if you managed to kill him he would drop something extremely worth.
The moments where they shut the hell up are genuinely some of the best parts. Not because I hate the characters, the exact opposite, I love all of them. But it makes them feel more real.
"They move and talk like real people rather than RPG characters". After completing KH3 and VII Remake, I could understand what Dunkey talks about. I can say for sure, FFXV has the best English voice acting in the FF franchise and KH combine. The antagonist's English voice actor is even better than the Japanese one. Also, if someone wants to buy it, I'd recommend the Royal Edition/ Windows Edition ones. This game is amazing!
@@dogoo5867 Cus that's the Japanese who always put weird effort sounds TERIYAAAAA. So the Eng dub needs to fill it in for the sound clip. But besides that the acting was super good
@Lovecraftian Face people complain a lot about the endless hallways. They are not that endless..... It doesn't take THAT long to get through that section, and even then at the MANY breaks you get within that section you are able to go back and do previous stuff in the open world. I really don't understand this criticism....
Yo IKR. I 100% this game and that ending was just heartbreaking. It was only a few days but the end credits included all the pictures you took starting from day 1 and it honestly felt like a year long journey. Shit got me sad man
“They get annoyed with each other, they get hungry, they get tired, and sometimes they just sit there in silence like real life” Do they stop to pee though?👀
+RagingUtai the storyline is only about 1/3rd of the content, the flying car is really useful for the post game which will take a lot of your time and has the best fights
The storyline is an unfinished mess with major characters routinely and inexplicably dropping dead offscreen, the flying car is used exactly once to get somewhere you can't normally get to, the mechanics for it are broken as hell, and landing it is as retarded as landing the plane in Top Gun for the NES.

Jesus, I know. I had all kinds of fantasies about Prompto and Gladio (*salacious slurp*) with all of their conversations. Gladio even tells Prompto to take his shirt off, and I'm like, whoa, I didn't know final fantasy had taken this route...
I think that's because you already have those kinds of ideas in your head so now you think that every time there are 2 or more guys together it's homoerotic...
I loved the into to this game. Literally first minute the car breaks down and you have to push it while stand by me is coming on with the logo. My favourite opening to any game period.
Fast forward one year later and I *still* haven't done everything. I have over 300 hours logged in the main game alone - and together with all the DLC expansions (including a grindy online multiplayer component and a now-confirmed SECOND season pass) I'm afraid there's no end in sight. 'Endlessness' really is the best way to describe this game. Perfect name for the song used in the Omen trailer. I love FFXV, but damn if it hasn't caused my backlog to pile up obscenely and make me feel bad about holding off on everything I else I want to play.
That's what I've been saying. The characters feel like actual charecters. You relate to them and feel them. They are not one dimensional like XIII or expository messes like VIII. Noctis is not a generic stick in the mud. He actually have a good personality and does get sad but for giod reason and his friends are there to assist him. This game honestly benefited from not having Numura. Imagine the characters being like in KH. One personally and non stop exposition with no emotion. This game gets so much unnecessary hate. This is one of the best Final Fantasy games of all time.
I completely fucking agree and I've been looking for someone to say it as well as you did. Thank you. I really felt the emotion with this game, and that to me stuck. It was a beautiful game for what it did do well.
I just recently got into the game, maybe a week ago? And from my experience its not 100% perfect but I enjoy the characters and their bromance, inspired me enough to watch the anime that goes with the background of all 4, prompto does get on my nerves sometimes, "oh, hi there opening" × infinity, other than that I see myself playing this over and over again
I was very pleasantly surprised when Dunkey admitted that he liked this game. The fact that a man of his caliber actually finished this game speaks volumes.
"Beautiful Girls" is the debut single by reggae-influenced musician Sean Kingston from his eponymous debut; it was first released in 2007. The song samples Ben E. King's classic "Stand by Me" ^^
"It is revealed that Cloud is actually a cybernetic turtle from the future[..]" I only played a few hours of FF7, please tell me that's not a real Wikipedia article
I loved FF7 growing up, one of my top 10 games ever, if not top 5. But I honestly think it would be a bit hard to play through FF7 today..... It has aged so much.;
Actually, no, the game is quite bad. I don't believe dunkey finish the game, because otherwise he would had mention how this game has one of the more convoluted and bad plots of all final fantasy games.
Playing through the game again in 2021 on pc, royal edition with all dlcs for about $20: Excellent visuals Load times vastly improved Story a lot lot better Gameplay even better than it was before Ff15 in 2021 is one of the best AAA gaming experiences you can have
did the same, first bought and finished it on the ps4 and never bought nor tried any dlc's before, replayed it with the royal edition this month in pc and it was a fucking blast, new enemies, new perspective on every major characters and so much more content.
@@toridetherisingwind4135 It's called windows edition. All content included. But you need to buy one more dlc called episode ardyn. Because its released after game.
Digvijay Singh Persona 5 was emotional?If you like weeb shit with no originality and bad writing then yes, definitely. I am a Persona fan but I can't stand this unnecessary praise for P5 when it has awful characters( the most important part of any Persona game) and horrible pacing. P2 duology and P3Fes are infinitely better games in every way besides style and gameplay. Nier Automata is amazing but if you prefer P5 over Nier or even consider P5 to be in the same league as Nier Automata then I bet you didn't even fully appreciate or understood Nier Automata for its non-weeb elements.
Dev Not sure who you’re talking to but I wholeheartedly agree with you on what you said about P5. Way too much unnecessary praise and anime tropes, especially compared to 2 and 3
Dunkey: square is going in the right direction with this cant wait to see what they do with their other ips Spoiler For Kingdom hearts 3 Review Dunkey: its bad
More than two years later, here I come. I'm so glad dunkey didn't demolish it. I absolutely love every single Final Fantasy - because I have great childhood memories with them. I know they have their flaws, but I just ignore them for my own sake. I'm so sad about the ending and that they cancelled the DLCs... Really loved FF15. Read too much negative stuff about it. Thanks for the review dunkey!
Kishibe Rohan becaus the first game was going to be their final one as they were facing financial issues, but then it did really good and now he have like 30 of them
Kishibe Rohan The company who made final fantasy was about to go under, so they released their thought to be last game. It was a hit and they didn't go under.
How are Blinded by Light, Saber's Edge and Test of the l'Cie not, in your words, 'rocking'? They're my favourite battle themes along with Man with the Machine Gun, Maybe I'm a Lion, and XII's boss theme.
This is definitely one of my favorite games I’m usually not the kind of person who finishes long games like this but I was so immersed in the gameplay and the story that i finished it and I love every second of it
I played the PC version just last year, which is the complete edition with plenty of well-added bosses in the main storyline. This version I played, was truly amazing.
I'm about 15 hours deep in the game and having an absolute blast. My only beefs are the story and the driving can sometimes be slow and annoying, especially the first time you move from the first hub area to the second.
Get a chocobo, if you train them enough they get faster than the car and can travel over any terrain. Plus it's a chocobo. You can dye 'em all kinds of crazy colors and give them medals and shit. And it's a Chocobo.
You can buy and sell stuff as if you were at a store while in the car so I found myself managing my inventory while on the way to a quest objective. The car can also be useful for taking a quick break such as going to take a leak or going to grab a snack.
I will say the story is kind of weak, especially when you get to the later chapters. Without saying too much, I'll just say there are points where key characters are inexplicably killed offscreen, and you routinely don't ever find out why it happened or what killed them.
SBaby shit idk about you guys but the story was literally never engaging for me. Like I got to chapter 2 and I just felt like it was a grind. Like the optional missions are shitty and I had more fun takin pics then I did doin the actual story.
The premise alone is amazing. The road trip parts are comfy as all hell. Makes me wish there was some multiplayer game with such detail where you could go on long road trips with other human players.
0:27 I just started playing MGSV the other day, and having never played any of the MGS games, I said this exactly. "Wow this story is like FF except it makes more sense"
This game just reminded me of how much I loved going on road trips with my friends across these massive stretches. Oh man, nostalgia never felt so damn good
I love this game to bits and is probably my favorite single player game of 2016 but I think it was overhyped, they could've done much more for the game, and the story isnt that confusing for me it's just too short for a FF game, I hope they update the game and add more story and intresting side quest. Over than that I really love the gameplay, exploration, bosses, characters, sidequest, and story
Even Noctis's Japanese voice actor confirmed on his twitter that the content in the released version was only 1/3 of the initial scripts, so much was cut off due to limited time :( However, this will totally be the first game i will ever buy for ps5 assuming i can afford the console itself
Mathew Fitchett 3 out of 5 is not bad. Although some people like me are enjoying this way too much to the point I'm not even continuing the story yet I'm still playing chapter 3 becuase the side quests and side activities are fun.
Aaron Usher umm, I think even just a single one of those games is close enough. I never finished one, but however far I got that story was just way way... way out there.
There is no actual lore in-between games, since they don't share the same continuum, but they do share common themes, character names, location names, spell names, as well as some creatures
GilPaulTO than you realise they stuck together to the very end to beat ardyn Lucia caelum, ending all of there lives for the wellbeing of the people... doesn't helping when the first credits cutscene shows an extreme amount of emotion from noctis and you come to the realisation his dad, king Regis and Luna knew he had to kill himself for the people, so he thought he was groomed to be king, but was actually groomed to be a sacrificial pig for his people to live without darkness...also doesn't help when the king of Lucia that killed him, was his father before he went to an astral plain to stop Ardyn and his darkness
@@GavinusMaximusMaster "It feels like they cut out the *'KING'* (key) moments from a much longer story" meaning the King too was cut out from the entire game, dunkey also did a cut edit to the king
I've watched this review like 4 times. Donkey is really good at talking about things and this is no exception. One thing to add is that square realized ch 13 or the ring chapter was garbage and made the ring heavily overpowered honestly it made it so much better
Dankley pretty much summed up how I feel about FFXV. It's is an amazing game with a beautiful story, but poorly executed with huge pieces missing, probably because of time constraint, money or maybe future DLC. I loved this game so much, which made the flaws I ran into even more painful. 3/5 is a perfect score for me too. Here's to hoping FFXV will be the starting foundation to future titles, they've hit something good here. Now they just need to refine it. Well, what are you waiting for? Go buy and play it! It's definitely worth your time. Edit: Also, it seems like a lot of people on FFXV's subreddit felt the same way. I want to stress this out as much as possible. This game is great, but also deeply flawed in some parts. Don't let some of the negative aspects shy you away from the game. Everyone who has anything meaningful to say regarding the flaws of this game will also let you know that they really enjoyed going through this. Why these flaws are so glaring is exactly because we enjoyed the game so much.
Yeah man, I think most people feel the same way. It's a solid, well made game. But falls short of being a great final fantasy. I think the story would be considered lack luster compared to any game though. So much missing from it.
Reminder that you have to pay extra to finish a product they never completed. Characters get randomly scared and you have to buy DLC to figure out what the fuck even happened. The game is literally incomplete without DLC and I'm tired of people sucking its dick with that in mind.

I liked the kingsglaive movie. I believe most of these bad reviews come from people who are disappointed that this part of the story wasn't in the actual game? I can understand the disappointment of these people, I would've also loved to see them in the game itself, but I would not downvote a good film for that reason.. Apart from that, I totally agree with the things dunkey was pointing out in his video.
Chadchol Meesaeng The only good games nowadays are the ones that developers actually give a crap about story and making the game feel complete FIRST, and then worry about the graphics. xD That's why some indie games and japanese games rule lately, because they do just that. I played Monster Hunter Stories (not yet released in the west) and it's probably the best RPG I have ever played to this day, with the richest and very cinematic story, a lot of content and character development, super enjoyable endgame and especially the last arc in the game is wonderful, the world map is ginormous and the story is very long. All-in-all, Monster Hunter Stories is an absolute masterpiece. Because it is an ACTUAL game in which the game company put a lot of effort into it and gave attention to all the little details, that this game feels a lot better to play than all those supposed crap-as-fuck AAA games that have beautiful graphics that draws all those dumb western kids in to cash-grab them, and then make them realize that the game has no core and they start whining about it..... lol However, not all western AAA games are like this of course, but I'm just saying what I see and notice. Game developers.. Your money should go on completing the game FIRST! And THEN you worry about the damn visuals!
Would have been one of my most favorite Final Fantasies...if the later half of the game wasn't so depressing. And, if you think about it, the bad guy kind of wins in the end.
Dude that song they used really hit me at the end of the game. FFX, FFXIII and this one made me cry like a baby. They always gotta do some flashbacks!! Then it hits you!!
This really sums up the game perfectly. The gameplay is fun and the chemistry between the main four characters is wonderful. I loved every single moment of them interacting, it always felt real between them as they laugh, fight and just exist in this world. However the story and the rest of the cast, along with that last section of gameplay, were absolutely horrible. I really feel like if they had just made it truly about the road trip instead of the grandiose story of fighting great evil it would of been a lot better.
I know there are lots of FFXV criticizes, but IMO this is a great game and I've enjoyed it so much. You can tell the ambitions and efforts SE wanted to put into this game, just not perfectly completed though, hope one day they will make a complete version of something like this, it's gonna be best RPG game once again
The combat in this game takes a great deal of strategy. First, you potion. Then, you potion. But THEN, when the enemy has you on the ropes, you potion.

'Endlessness' really is the best way to describe this game. Perfect name for the song used in the Omen trailer. I love FFXV, but damn if it hasn't caused my backlog to pile up obscenely and make me feel bad about holding off on everything I else I want to play.
Just got the game recently, and holy fuck can I not put it down, and who the fuck decided a hidden character had to cut onions at the end?
That's what I've been saying. The characters feel like actual charecters. You relate to them and feel them. They are not one dimensional like XIII or expository messes like VIII. Noctis is not a generic stick in the mud. He actually have a good personality and does get sad but for giod reason and his friends are there to assist him. This game honestly benefited from not having Numura. Imagine the characters being like in KH. One personally and non stop exposition with no emotion. This game gets so much unnecessary hate. This is one of the best Final Fantasy games of all time.
I agree
I completely fucking agree and I've been looking for someone to say it as well as you did. Thank you. I really felt the emotion with this game, and that to me stuck. It was a beautiful game for what it did do well.
I just recently got into the game, maybe a week ago? And from my experience its not 100% perfect but I enjoy the characters and their bromance, inspired me enough to watch the anime that goes with the background of all 4, prompto does get on my nerves sometimes, "oh, hi there opening" × infinity, other than that I see myself playing this over and over again
This game is a bit emotional ,atleast for me.
Definitely not one of the best, but still pretty good after the patches
I was very pleasantly surprised when Dunkey admitted that he liked this game. The fact that a man of his caliber actually finished this game speaks volumes.
"Stand by Me" at the end? profound
Justin Sanservino thank you
they play it at the beginning of the game
jedisquidward it was in the trailer
I originally thought it was an acoustic version of "Beautiful Girl", lol.
"Beautiful Girls" is the debut single by reggae-influenced musician Sean Kingston from his eponymous debut; it was first released in 2007. The song samples Ben E. King's classic "Stand by Me" ^^
"It is revealed that Cloud is actually a cybernetic turtle from the future[..]"
I only played a few hours of FF7, please tell me that's not a real Wikipedia article
First off, go play FF7, it's a masterpiece.
Secondly, not a turtle.
And finally, go play FF7, you fucking heathen.
Fourthly, go watch dunkey's FF7 video.
Andrew Turner i think that's where he got the cybernetic turtle thing.
I think he was looking for the mystic mungus.
Ikelos *mungis
I loved FF7 growing up, one of my top 10 games ever, if not top 5. But I honestly think it would be a bit hard to play through FF7 today..... It has aged so much.;
So what he's actually saying
It has a little something for everyone 9.2/10
No
@@Roland_Duson Yes.
No. It is sexist garbage from a terrible company. One of the worst games of allll time. 1/10 don't play
Wtf where this came from boy?
@@EduardoFerreira-bw2fs It's beyond trash
The fact that he didn't utterly destroy it means its probably a damn good game.
Meow Nya Yes it is
Actually, no, the game is quite bad. I don't believe dunkey finish the game, because otherwise he would had mention how this game has one of the more convoluted and bad plots of all final fantasy games.
Yeah story is not that good as the other Final Fantasys. It's still a really fun Game in my opinion. I enjoyed the 100 hours I put in it.
Jose Dorda He said DEEPLY FLAWED and he spoke on the end game sooooooo he did finish
yo he literally showed the flying car that you have to beat the game to get, are you blind?
stillnot as good as super mario bros 2
game of the year for 25 years and still running
what about witcher ? or the lifewrecking gameplay of mgs (especially mgsV)
The joke has missed someone, i repeat
THE JOKE HAS MISSED SOMEONE
Michael, it's time to go home. Time to go back to GameXplain and comment on their videos instead.
SHIT
Mission failed, well get em next time.
Michael Aiyedun no no no. Super mario brothers 2 baby or nothin
So technically he liked it?
orig4mi I see and there isn't a problem, was genuinely curious to know if he enjoyed it or not.
Chocobo outta 10 is enjoyment territory
its a 3/5
yes.

"Even for all of its numerous shortcomings, I enjoyed this game."
Playing through the game again in 2021 on pc, royal edition with all dlcs for about $20:
Excellent visuals
Load times vastly improved
Story a lot lot better
Gameplay even better than it was before
Ff15 in 2021 is one of the best AAA gaming experiences you can have
did the same, first bought and finished it on the ps4 and never bought nor tried any dlc's before, replayed it with the royal edition this month in pc and it was a fucking blast, new enemies, new perspective on every major characters and so much more content.
Sounds like fun, thanks for the tip!
The game has dlcs? How are the story ads do they play after somehow?
Is that the version available on steam or nah?
@@toridetherisingwind4135 It's called windows edition. All content included. But you need to buy one more dlc called episode ardyn. Because its released after game.
I actually loved this game & found it had more likable characters than any of the other ones.
I ugly cried at the end.
The ending though.. come on man. Never had a game that has made me that emotional in my lifetime lol
Pro0wnz Nier automata was way more emotional honestly . Even persona 5 . This story was all over the place
Digvijay Singh this games ending was much more emotionally impactful. I still cried in both of those games but they didn’t scar me like FFXV did
Digvijay Singh
Persona 5 was emotional?If you like weeb shit with no originality and bad writing then yes, definitely. I am a Persona fan but I can't stand this unnecessary praise for P5 when it has awful characters( the most important part of any Persona game) and horrible pacing. P2 duology and P3Fes are infinitely better games in every way besides style and gameplay.
Nier Automata is amazing but if you prefer P5 over Nier or even consider P5 to be in the same league as Nier Automata then I bet you didn't even fully appreciate or understood Nier Automata for its non-weeb elements.
you haven't play enough games, Hope in this 2 years you have develop a better taste
Dev Not sure who you’re talking to but I wholeheartedly agree with you on what you said about P5. Way too much unnecessary praise and anime tropes, especially compared to 2 and 3
Dunkey: square is going in the right direction with this cant wait to see what they do with their other ips
Spoiler For Kingdom hearts 3 Review
Dunkey: its bad
Wdum? Kingdom hearts 3 was awesome
He was talking about the story and not the gameplay
@@ameeshb2038 even then it's bad
Turtlezworld Dude it was pretty bad man
:(
More than two years later, here I come. I'm so glad dunkey didn't demolish it. I absolutely love every single Final Fantasy - because I have great childhood memories with them. I know they have their flaws, but I just ignore them for my own sake. I'm so sad about the ending and that they cancelled the DLCs... Really loved FF15. Read too much negative stuff about it.
Thanks for the review dunkey!
In conclusion,
Backstreet's back alright
"See that giant mountain over there? That's actually a big-ass turtle."
I just bought this game because of those two sentences.
then you will be disapointed.
MrGutoloko1 being this quirky has its flaws
the game so far is meh
sorry
I still don't get why Steinfeld didn't just stay in the basement.
he didn't lock the cuffs
Lol I can’t believe you chose a picture of a chocobo for the ending.
you didn't??!!!
I chose a picture of noctis' ass
@@JohnDoe-on1bd a man of culture

I used a damn cup noodle lmao
How is it called Final Fantasy if theres like fifteen of them?
Kishibe Rohan Because they're the confusing versions of Metal Gear Solid
Kishibe Rohan Don't you have some dust to be biting?
Kishibe Rohan becaus the first game was going to be their final one as they were facing financial issues, but then it did really good and now he have like 30 of them
***** no
Kishibe Rohan The company who made final fantasy was about to go under, so they released their thought to be last game. It was a hit and they didn't go under.
Put 180 hours in FFXV and despite the flaws in the game, I absolutely loved the game to bits.
It isn't a masterpiece, but it's amazing.
But it's a mastapiece
na it's not the ending was really really bad appart from that it has some bugs and the last dungeon is a crap, as DCAMM720 says it is amazing tho
The ending was great
Pop the champaign!
How are Blinded by Light, Saber's Edge and Test of the l'Cie not, in your words, 'rocking'? They're my favourite battle themes along with Man with the Machine Gun, Maybe I'm a Lion, and XII's boss theme.
This is definitely one of my favorite games I’m usually not the kind of person who finishes long games like this but I was so immersed in the gameplay and the story that i finished it and I love every second of it
thank you for putting that song in the end and making me sad
I watch this on repeat to hear him say "big ass turtle"
2:34 wow it looks like a slice of toasted whole grain bread, with a thick cut of ham, cheese an egg and lettuce, delicious
fantastic spaghetti
HowToDoge Something tells me that’s my spaghetti. I can’t put my finger on it though
im gonna fix that spaghetti!
CRAZY DIAMOND
I played the PC version just last year, which is the complete edition with plenty of well-added bosses in the main storyline. This version I played, was truly amazing.
well he gave it a 3/5 so tat means it'an amazing game
killedmysociallife the same rating he gave for star wars battlefront
Dynamite Cow he gave battlefront a 2/5
RagingUtai Dunkey's ratings are much different than the average person's ratings
He has also explained it.
RagingUtai 3/5 for dunkey means that you should try this game, it was fun and great.
I'm about 15 hours deep in the game and having an absolute blast. My only beefs are the story and the driving can sometimes be slow and annoying, especially the first time you move from the first hub area to the second.
Get a chocobo, if you train them enough they get faster than the car and can travel over any terrain. Plus it's a chocobo. You can dye 'em all kinds of crazy colors and give them medals and shit. And it's a Chocobo.
True? Thanks, it's at level 5 right now but I've been using it more than the car recently because [ S T O R Y S P O I L E R S ]
You can buy and sell stuff as if you were at a store while in the car so I found myself managing my inventory while on the way to a quest objective. The car can also be useful for taking a quick break such as going to take a leak or going to grab a snack.
I will say the story is kind of weak, especially when you get to the later chapters. Without saying too much, I'll just say there are points where key characters are inexplicably killed offscreen, and you routinely don't ever find out why it happened or what killed them.
SBaby shit idk about you guys but the story was literally never engaging for me. Like I got to chapter 2 and I just felt like it was a grind. Like the optional missions are shitty and I had more fun takin pics then I did doin the actual story.
The premise alone is amazing. The road trip parts are comfy as all hell. Makes me wish there was some multiplayer game with such detail where you could go on long road trips with other human players.
you want a multiplayer game...where you sit in a car?
^ Dude, people play eurotruck simulator which is exclusively driving around in a truck. I'm sure a game like that might actually be successful lol
Me and my friends used to drive around and act like we were going on a road trip in gta online pepehands
Hell yeah I'd love that
@@oOBlindyOo Can't fight crazy monsters in real life
It is revealed that Cloud is actually a cybernetic turtle from the future searching for the mystic mungis.
sure
0:27 I just started playing MGSV the other day, and having never played any of the MGS games, I said this exactly. "Wow this story is like FF except it makes more sense"
This game just reminded me of how much I loved going on road trips with my friends across these massive stretches. Oh man, nostalgia never felt so damn good
I love this game to bits and is probably my favorite single player game of 2016 but I think it was overhyped, they could've done much more for the game, and the story isnt that confusing for me it's just too short for a FF game, I hope they update the game and add more story and intresting side quest.
Over than that I really love the gameplay, exploration, bosses, characters, sidequest, and story
Even Noctis's Japanese voice actor confirmed on his twitter that the content in the released version was only 1/3 of the initial scripts, so much was cut off due to limited time :(
However, this will totally be the first game i will ever buy for ps5 assuming i can afford the console itself
If you have ps plus you get it for Free on ps5

I weigh more towards games like Zelda and Skyrim.
yeah lol, all the rest were so hard with the turn based, so glad they ditched that crap
Mathew Fitchett 3 out of 5 is not bad. Although some people like me are enjoying this way too much to the point I'm not even continuing the story yet I'm still playing chapter 3 becuase the side quests and side activities are fun.
The worst part of this comment section is seeing how many people don't know "Stand By Me".
I do know it... through a Bollywood song lol
@@aamil360 Ra one . Am I right?
They also must not have beaten the game.
this is one of dunk’s most impressively entertaining and succinct videos for sure
Final Fantasy's Lore sounds like some shit from Scientology
Note that he did combine the story of like five games, though they all are actually pretty weird...
Aaron Usher umm, I think even just a single one of those games is close enough. I never finished one, but however far I got that story was just way way... way out there.
the first final fantasy was supposed to be very scientific
Scientology is a sci Fi novel though.
There is no actual lore in-between games, since they don't share the same continuum, but they do share common themes, character names, location names, spell names, as well as some creatures

GilPaulTO than you realise they stuck together to the very end to beat ardyn Lucia caelum, ending all of there lives for the wellbeing of the people... doesn't helping when the first credits cutscene shows an extreme amount of emotion from noctis and you come to the realisation his dad, king Regis and Luna knew he had to kill himself for the people, so he thought he was groomed to be king, but was actually groomed to be a sacrificial pig for his people to live without darkness...also doesn't help when the king of Lucia that killed him, was his father before he went to an astral plain to stop Ardyn and his darkness
I will NEVER understand why I like this game so much the amount of hours I spent JUST WALKING and for some reason I love it

I've watched this review like 4 times. Donkey is really good at talking about things and this is no exception. One thing to add is that square realized ch 13 or the ring chapter was garbage and made the ring heavily overpowered honestly it made it so much better
Dankley pretty much summed up how I feel about FFXV.
It's is an amazing game with a beautiful story, but poorly executed with huge pieces missing, probably because of time constraint, money or maybe future DLC.
I loved this game so much, which made the flaws I ran into even more painful.
3/5 is a perfect score for me too. Here's to hoping FFXV will be the starting foundation to future titles, they've hit something good here. Now they just need to refine it.
Well, what are you waiting for? Go buy and play it! It's definitely worth your time.
Edit: Also, it seems like a lot of people on FFXV's subreddit felt the same way. I want to stress this out as much as possible. This game is great, but also deeply flawed in some parts. Don't let some of the negative aspects shy you away from the game. Everyone who has anything meaningful to say regarding the flaws of this game will also let you know that they really enjoyed going through this. Why these flaws are so glaring is exactly because we enjoyed the game so much.
Yeah man, I think most people feel the same way. It's a solid, well made game. But falls short of being a great final fantasy.
I think the story would be considered lack luster compared to any game though. So much missing from it.
Looks like they're fixing the story (it will be free of course). Guess its good they're listening to feedback
TheNameCannotBeFound u
Reminder that you have to pay extra to finish a product they never completed. Characters get randomly scared and you have to buy DLC to figure out what the fuck even happened.
The game is literally incomplete without DLC and I'm tired of people sucking its dick with that in mind.
Dunkey choosing the chocobo picture for his final photograph at the end of the game is a hilarious detail that I fear goes unnoticed
nah we noticed lol
mad outro. that's the good stuff.
its blu WHAFS THE SONG!?!?!

1/8 Ferocious he has a video on it. I think it's just called "I'm done with league of legends"
Ruben Olguin I personally thought Dunkey's best videos have nothing to do with League
I liked the kingsglaive movie. I believe most of these bad reviews come from people who are disappointed that this part of the story wasn't in the actual game? I can understand the disappointment of these people, I would've also loved to see them in the game itself, but I would not downvote a good film for that reason..
Apart from that, I totally agree with the things dunkey was pointing out in his video.

Chadchol Meesaeng The only good games nowadays are the ones that developers actually give a crap about story and making the game feel complete FIRST, and then worry about the graphics. xD That's why some indie games and japanese games rule lately, because they do just that. I played Monster Hunter Stories (not yet released in the west) and it's probably the best RPG I have ever played to this day, with the richest and very cinematic story, a lot of content and character development, super enjoyable endgame and especially the last arc in the game is wonderful, the world map is ginormous and the story is very long.
All-in-all, Monster Hunter Stories is an absolute masterpiece. Because it is an ACTUAL game in which the game company put a lot of effort into it and gave attention to all the little details, that this game feels a lot better to play than all those supposed crap-as-fuck AAA games that have beautiful graphics that draws all those dumb western kids in to cash-grab them, and then make them realize that the game has no core and they start whining about it..... lol
However, not all western AAA games are like this of course, but I'm just saying what I see and notice.
Game developers.. Your money should go on completing the game FIRST! And THEN you worry about the damn visuals!
Thanks for pointing things out in very specific details. But I just mock dunkey's favorite sentence. That's all.
Anyway I'm agree with you 100% :D
Super Mario Bros 2?
it's obviously knack 4 babee
Great throw back to Game trailers retrospectives. AKA the best TH-cam content ever made
Would have been one of my most favorite Final Fantasies...if the later half of the game wasn't so depressing. And, if you think about it, the bad guy kind of wins in the end.
Josh Blount there was no way for him to lose, either outcome would have been a win for him.
Bad guy and good guy both lose
The ending broke me ngl, that final talk around the campfire hurt my soul
You made me remember that I had no idea what was going on in Final Fantasy VII.
Dude that song they used really hit me at the end of the game. FFX, FFXIII and this one made me cry like a baby. They always gotta do some flashbacks!! Then it hits you!!

This really sums up the game perfectly. The gameplay is fun and the chemistry between the main four characters is wonderful. I loved every single moment of them interacting, it always felt real between them as they laugh, fight and just exist in this world. However the story and the rest of the cast, along with that last section of gameplay, were absolutely horrible. I really feel like if they had just made it truly about the road trip instead of the grandiose story of fighting great evil it would of been a lot better.
I liked this game. Definitely worth checking out for the characters and gameplay

I know there are lots of FFXV criticizes, but IMO this is a great game and I've enjoyed it so much. You can tell the ambitions and efforts SE wanted to put into this game, just not perfectly completed though, hope one day they will make a complete version of something like this, it's gonna be best RPG game once again
