Currently playing Remake and this is irking me I'm so grateful they added a fast forward button, I'm spam tapping it during cutscenes

I had more fun in the 30 mins I played ff7 og than the entirety of remake

Finished my playthrough of Remake after nearly 50 hours but a lot of that time was spent in menus rearranging materia because I would constantly swap materia between characters. Didn't enjoy the game as much as everyone else did, not surprising to hear that the Midgard section was like 6 hours in the og and was stretched to a 30+ hours game here. Game actually feels padded with filler and like you're still waiting for it to kick off when you're already halfway. It also wastes so much time, cutscenes are so slow They constantly take 12 seconds to accomplish what could've been done in 5, it really irritated me

Will probably do those new combat challenges because combat is by far the best part of this game. Will check out Intermission too. Would give this a 7/10, maybe even a 6.5

I gotta stop watching the new info. They’re doing so much to the story and it’s beautiful

TGS demo shows a lot. Surprised they showed so much from the opening

Very cool

New sephiroth voice is good

Vincent's combat looks sick

I want the OLD ONE!!!!!!

Japanese dub's got the Advent Children voices so

games on sale on steam

More games to add to the backlog

I hate the marketing thats being done for this game by Square Enix man holy s***

I hate this s*** in modern gaming so much. So many options for everything, games stop being games and simply a tailor made product to give you that 1 hour of endorphin and not challenge you whatsoever. How can you be proud of your creation when you don't even believe in its main gameplay loop. When will this medium start loving itself

ff and persona are plagued with people who “love the series” but don’t actually play the games for whatever reason

i guess they’re trying to capture this crowd?

Of course they are but how sad it is. Castrating your vision of your creation to cater to people who don't really care about it that much

Come on man that's crazy might as well just let the game play itself whats the point

The story mode difficulty is already totally fine for people who dont necesseraly want a big challenge but apparently that's not enough

Why cater to people who seemingly dont want to play the game

That "It was contempt for the medium all along" tweet is a f***ing all timer, 90% of modern gaming (and art in general honestly) discussion can be summarized with that sentence

Doing this s*** for the ff7 remake series is crazy too like those are some very hand holdy games man i like remake and love rebirth but it made me feel like a baby at so many points because of how obvious everything is

The funniest s*** is they never even stopped to think about fixing the potentially boring grinding "issue" with some gameplay innovations and instead went for the easy solution to the problem they created themselves. Why put a level up system if you think people may find it boring? Why not try to challenge that system by changing how leveling works or by making battles more engaging for the average player?

Options are good when they're gameplay options, because at least its diegetic and actively thought out in the gameplay loop, not a god mode outside of the game's rules.

Where the real game directors at, do we really need kojima to make a jrpg

Hideki kamiya go make a jrpg show these fools how to make combat fun enough to actively WANT to grind

“I do feel apologetic toward anyone who feels there’s just too much to overcome in my games,” Miyazaki said in a recent interview with the New Yorker. “I just want as many players as possible to experience the joy that comes from overcoming hardship.”

“We are always looking to improve, but, in our games specifically, hardship is what gives meaning to the experience. So, it's not something we're willing to abandon at the moment. It's our identity.”
