You could say that about almost any product. Heck, you could say that about jobs as well. Don’t want to work in the coal Mines in the 1800s and get paid in company credits, don’t work at the coal mine.
It doesn’t work so well when everybody is doing the same thing and forcing it on people. Regulation exists for a reason.
Fallout 3 and 4 ended up being really great games after Bethesda got ahold of the IP. Can’t say the next one will be that way considering Microsoft got their hands on the studio reins.
I never played 1 or 2, and from the gameplay I have seen they’re very different games. And since they’re much older, I don’t have the nostalgia factor making me want to go back to them, so the graphics and game play are a bit of a turn off for me.
I don’t think I would have noticed the differences honestly if it weren’t a side by side comparison. I do think sometimes the original looks better. Just depends on the shot, the upgrade models look better sometimes, and othertimes not. One thing I did find a little odd is they changed the shape of Tidus’ face in the HD remaster.
This legitimately made me sad when I heard they might lose this satellite. It’s the farthest humans have ever sent anything beyond Earth, and it might always be the case. The science data coming back from this is invaluable.
I’m glad they do, a lot of the missions I work around have been flying for 20 years when their original mission duration was supposed to be 5 years. The science they do is fantastic.
I bought Hogwarts Legacy against my better judgement, and the game had one of the worst main stories I’ve ever played. Honestly exploring the world was more fun than the story, and you can only do so much exploring.
It’s a crossword puzzle, but using patterns. Regular expressions will match whatever pattern you give it. For example, you could say, match any word that doesn’t have an o or an e in it. That’s what this is, except a bunch of them.
Nah, I’ve been using regular expressions for like a decade now and i still have to look up how to use them when I need too. They’re super convoluted to understand.
I don’t feel that way about ffVVI at all. The story was fantastic. My only complaint was that some of the fights just felt like the eikons were damage sponges.
I thought the fighting was really fun in ff16. I’m not familiar with DMC though. All a matter of taste I suppose. Second point is fair, I happen to own a ps5, so I was able to play it right away, didn’t even realize it was an exclusive.
Nice of you to insult my intelligence right out the gate. I’m surprised you’re monitoring the thread so closely that you replied to me even though I didn’t reply to your comment (which I didn’t realize until you pointed it out)
I understand they want closure and to prevent this from happening again, but suing a video game publisher bcz of depictions of guns is a bit of a reach.
There’s research to back this up, video games do not cause violence.
As I've gotten older as a player, I have found myself dropping some eras of gaming that I used to be nostalgic for. One of them is the 8-bit era, the NES days. I have played some of the best that system had to offer and I will never say that system didn't have any good games....
I was a bit young when nes, and snes came out. I am still quiet fond of super mario world 2. But my favorite consoles, hands down are N64, PS1, and PS2. They were really just figuring out open world gaming back then, and they hadn’t yet figured our how to make every game constantly online, and/or gaming as a service.
I will say though, a lot of the old games I used to love don’t hold up as well playing them as an adult. They are either super hard, or have weird camera and controls, especially 007 GoldenEye for N64.
Another one that turned out to be tedious and hard is Zelda Ocarina of Time, which really surprised me. I thought the game was the greatest game ever as a kid.

Nah, we treat it like sports teams, that goes for pretty much everyone. Maybe one side more than the other, but make no mistake, both parties treat it like sports teams.
I never said which way I would vote. I completely agree that one side has gone full fascist. That doesn’t mean we don’t treat it like sports. It just so happens right now we have a state of politics in the U.S. right now where if you vote third party you’re basically throwing away your vote making it more likely the Republicans win the elections.
That doesn’t detract from my point, or make it invalid. We really need ranked choice voting, and then maybe we could stop treating it like sports teams.
I highly doubt they used those cables maliciously knowing they’d go out right when the warranty expired. It was probably a cost thing, and they later realized (too late to fix it) during production sometime that the cables were a warranty issue.
Engineers don’t do thing maliciously with their designs. They pick things based on cost, and probably even raised the cable length as a risk/concern during the design and testing phase, and were overruled by the bean counters.
I’m fine not having this conversation anymore. I just gave a perspective from an engineer. No need to continue shitting on me. I’m not even defending the practice.
Maybe they can stop changing the story of beloved remakes. That might help too. I didn’t buy rebirth, and I won’t buy it unless it’s used. The only way I can voice my disapproval of what they’ve done with the ff7 remake and the bait and switch they did with part 1 is to not give them my money.
I was fine with the change from turn based combat. I fully expected that even with them trying to hook in newer fans of the series with modern mechanics.
But there really was no reason to change the story. It was obvious they did it as a business decision when they turned the first 5 hours of the game into 40 hours of fluff.
I wasn’t even upset with the story additions for the extra character. It was kinda nice even to get some background on the characters before we leave Midgar without them.
It’s the fundamental changes to the story that really bothered me, that they made for really no reason.
That’s why it’s called an opinion. I think the story pacing is garbage compared to the original. Introducing Sephiroth into the beginning of the game made zero sense, and then fighting him as one of the bosses really took away from the mystery of what made the original reveal of him as the real villain all that much better.
And the whispers were an absolute stupid choice to put into the game.
