Final Fantasy 8 -- Triple Triad



For a suposedly RPG game, the game have boring rpg battle systems to be honest and disappointing story 2nd CD onwards. Such a shame though, the first part story (CD1) is so good. The battle system is fun short term but on the long run, it's just plain tedious and dreadful. I love the game because of the characters, junction management system (basically managing GForces) and definitely the mini-game Triple Triad carried the whole game. This is also after the superb FF7 game.

The card game is just too awesome, simple yet highly addictive. Great music too and just enough challenges. I'm not a fan of FF9's Triple Triad version - too complex and never understood how the card system works being too random.

Definitely the best card game of all time for me.

I enjoyed the bumper car mini game in the Over the Hedge game based off the movie. I played it quite a lot with my brother.

I also liked the mini game in Dragon Ball Z Infinite World where you had to catch Bubbles as Goku.

Ff8 was great you silly goose.

I liked the puzzleish game from ffx-2 as well. Don't remember the name.

The football game on Ape Escape was really addictive two player.

 

[Ibi Dreams]

FF8 is definitely good

That said, Triple Triad is VERY good. Shame the one in FF9 was so awful

 

[Vidyoyo]

FF8 sucked.

I hate that game. So boring, and the fact you have to play so bastard much of it for Wakka’s celestial weapon really annoys me.

I always tended to just score a goal then go and swim behind the goalkeeper as nobody would challenge you so you could just run down the clock.

This was a very good game so not what you're after, but one of the later Uncharteds had crash bandicoot as a mini game.

Only babies who can't techcopy hate blitzball.

I agree that FF8 is a great game but I also agree that if you dislike the game the Triple Triad game is hard to dislike. Very easy to play and fun!

 

[evil_geko]

Wtf, FF8 is a great and underrated FF game, I love it more than beloved (and imo overrated) FF7.

We don't bash FF8 here as it's brilliant

Super Monkey Ball was a great game in its own right but the minigames were superb. Monkey Soccer was a better pick-up-and-play football game than FIFA that year and I don't give a shit what you say.

Qwent in witcher 3 has to be up there as one of the best mini games, not that the main game was poor though.

 

[duffer]

Geometry Wars from Project Gotham Racing was the tits!

I even have the cards for real too. I loved Gwent!

 

[GhastlyHun]

I guess building settlements in FO4 was alright, if you're into that kind of thing. The main game definitely fits the thread description.

It'll be boring once you over power everyone else, but early on it's a very fun game where you train your roster.

It is a side game after all

The last game I expected this to be about was FF8. You don't have to gimp the battle system. God there's some fecking weirdos out there.

Blitzball ain't so bad as long as you have Jecht shot, but it was most tedious weapon. But I maxed out stats (all plus 4 nodes) & items (99 of everything and max of everything else) in X.

The feck you on about? Legit has a claim to be being the best out of all the Uncharted games. Go wash your fecking legs.

Just wanted to post the mini game. UC4 is awesome.

Well that’s no way to get EXP and level up Wedge.
