Conan plays FFXV

[Noctis Caelum]

They give him a chance to play the game and they make him play the part where he has to push a car through a desert.

Talk about tedious padding. And that's a part they hope to highlight? This game is a mess.

Call him just a comedian and discredit him all you want. He's played plenty of other games before, but this is the first one I can remember where he calls it out of being smurfing ridiculous.

Heaven forbid they don't start him at the beginning of the game. They should have started him at a high octane fight, right? :/

This is the first JRPG that he has played for his Clueless Gamer segment. I think that's a huge victory for the game by itself.

And... yeah, if you don't know what Clueless Gamer even means... well. Okee dokee.

Yes. Like I said, feel free to wave away any of his criticism on the basis that he's just a comedian who doesn't play video games. But I still stand by what I said. They had a chance to present to viewers how this game will be fun and exciting.

We watched four guys push a broken down car through a desert, go wedding dress shopping, and run away from a fight that if you want to complete it will take 72 hours of real time play. It looks and sounds tedious and boring.

Do you think he'd like it more if they forced him to play the beginning part of Final Fantasy VII, and the part where Cloud cross dresses? Would you hate the game if Conan called FFVII a weird troutty game?

If you find XV boring because of the things he said and the set pieces that he played through, that's your prerogative. Doesn't mean anybody else that is highly interested in this game and can take criticism would be daunted by Conan's opinion. Jesus, we saw Square Enix members laughing their asses off as he was shouting at them. And here we have people actually trying to throw trout at the wall about this game, and hoping that it sticks.

He even said that he had played this game more than any other he had played and had no understanding of what was going on, any motivation to do it, and no sense of accomplishment. You can attribute that to the abbreviated play time if you want, but I think that pretty much sums up the exact same feeling a lot of players had with FF 13.

The problem everybody had with FFXIII was that it was too linear and didn't open up until around the 30 hour mark. Something that couldn't be more different with XV. Do you even understand ANYTHING that you're trying to talk about? Wowzers.
