Thought I'd share this doozy. Found this from the Giant Bomb FB group and... and I just didn't want to be alone with this. My heart hurt.

Rumors are part of human interactions. We're curious beings and we want to know every facet of every detail of anything we care deeply for. If you want rumors to stop, you need to stop interacting with other humans.

A good litmus test to see if you even have the tolerance to play the "older" FF's is Final Fantasy 9. If you can't deal with 9's combat and random encounters, then perhaps going further back is just not for you. After that..... 3, 4, 6, 7 or 8.

Ah this is actually a really interesting answer.

I actually bought a couple of friends of mine this game as a gift when they just recently bought an Xbox after being out of the gaming loop since the N64. They're both in their 40's. They like board games and stuff like Cards Against Humanity so I figured it'd be fun. Hadn't played it personally but of course I've seen it here on Giant Bomb.

They are OBSESSED with the game. They are blown away by the ease of it, the smart phone integration, and how it combines that board game feeling with their console. They were playing other stuff but for a while now their Xbox has just become a Jackbox machine. You make good points about that in your post but just thought I would provide a real example. These are two guys that can play videogames but for example, struggle with GTA V's controls some and in general the "two stick" set up for many games. But they are blown away by how easy Jack Box is and how much it feels like taking that board game/party game idea forward with technology.

Exactly what I mean. The amount of enjoyment go gained from a game made you keep going back. A lot of the Big Games are usually fun for a single playthrough and not much else. A lot of the CONTENT in those games are mostly fluff and there to make it seems big. Jackbox is simple to pick up and play. Everyone knows how to use a controller and press a single button. Everyone knows how to use their cell phone. Jackbox Party Pack is an EVERYONE game. And that where the money has been, and always be, at. It's a trendsetter.

Do the Duders have persona's associated with them? I've always wondered what persona's would go best with which GB staff member. Jeff or Dan would definitely go well with Kanji's Persona.

I think the JackBox Party pack, as weird of a choice as it is, really shows off what's been going on this generation and is definitely a game (bundle of games) that could have occurred in the previous generation. It taps in so well with the streaming phenomenon, into multiple devices interacting with one another, getting people together with super simple design. It's not something people will think of when they think this gen, but it has to be an important part of gaming history, even though it'll be overshadowed by other, "bigger" releases.

Rocket League is another game that only could have gotten it's fanfare because current gen. Being free on PS+ really help put that game on the map. And to have it be soooo good? That's so crazy. The polish is nuts.

Finally, just Nintendo being it's own thing. HD Mario Kart? Awesome. Smash game with DLC? They did it very well (for the most part). SUPER MARIO MAKER?! How else would that game have come to existence without the WiiU? Smart move. Nintendo is just showing how much of a craft games are to them.

@moregrammarplz: Yeah, that's completely fair. From all I've heard of Rising Thunder, it seemed interesting but had to prove a lot. All I got to say to this is, I miss Clover Studios, so I feel you on that.
