I’m just disappointed that I haven’t gotten to a point where he’s tried to get his hands on some support materia by asking “can I get some of the blue stuff?”

From a graphical standpoint? Sure. Beyond that, though, it didn’t exactly reinvent the wheel beyond stuff IV and VI had already done. From a gameplay standpoint, Materia and Magitek are damn near interchangeable concepts.

I love it in context of Wedge’s remarks about it being an act. I was a little bit of a drama kid in high school and I knew more than a couple of girls back then who didn’t grow out of that “heavy flirting because it’s dramatic” phase until much later.

Barret is the highlight of the reactor 5 run (Which I just finished last night) and I will brook no argument otherwise. His “singing what he’s doing” schtick is a phenomenal touch to his character and I absolutely lost it when he started “singing” the victory fanfare and talking about doing victory poses. J.J. Abrams…

He works so well for it and my wife and I chuckle every time he mentions Jessie by name.

I’m actually one of those who vocally did not care for the original (I’ve always been a IX>VIII>VII guy) in that I really think you needed to play it before any of the other PS era FF games to get the most out of it (It got dated fast, I think). That said, I’m a quarter to a third through this one and I’m really…

Yeah, this remake is doing a much, much better job of investing you in Tifa early on. I’m only just now getting to the Sector 5 slums and I’m dreading the point where I imagine I’ll have to choose who’s going to be in my party because I’ve been dying for Aerith’s magic acumen, but I also don’t want to pull Tifa or…

I was playing in front of my wife and kid and my wife nailed the voice in one. It’s actually the dude who played Badger on Breaking Bad. It added a whole new layer to “Let’s stop by Jessie’s place.”

I’m on board, for the time being, but really only because it’s free with T-Mobile for the first year. I’ve looked through the content and, honestly, this service does sound nice for me. I have a bit of a short attention span with TV and except for some rare things I follow, I just have a lot of trouble sitting and…

Saw a thing earlier that you can try, but it apparently produces a black screen.

I feel like there’s a super select crowd for this deal. I feel like now’s not the time to buy a PS4 with PS5 just around the corner, plus this is the 1080p console with the 4K out there too.

RE3 at least had a certain tension going for it, kind of like a precursor to 4. Like, you were experienced and you knew what to expect, for the most part (I don’t recall there being any “new” monsters in 3, other than Nemesis), but everything was always so edge-of-your-seat.

I mean, 4 holds up fantastically. And despite the tank controls, RE2 held up really well (I last played it maybe two years ago?).

Yeah, I loved CV when it came out (I think I was 16), but I haven’t played it in literally close to two decades and I don’t think I will anytime soon (Despite owning it for PS4).

Shining city on a fucking trash heap.

I’m still fucking devastated. Coming to Boston for the first time since I got into them and the world implodes.

The revolution will be televised, Fahey:

I care less about Dawson joining (Not to say I don’t like the casting) than I do about the fact that Ahsoka might be in it at all.

Cool. That has fuck all to do with what I noted, though. Hyper fast SSD aside, that’s not going to be able to keep up if sizes keep rising. I don’t give a damn what the XB is capable of (I’m realistically never buying a MS console again), I care about what this thing is going to look like three years from now when…

Oh yeah, I’m well familiar (Lapsed PC gamer, finally moved away from it in maybe 2018). That’s where I’m coming from on that stuff, though. Even with an SSD, games with huge file sizes (Especially when the data isn’t well optimized), it still takes ages to load. I have AC Odyssey for PC (Got it free from the Stadia…
