Remember: pirating Nintendo games is always morally correct.

You should try DQ 8 and 11.

A lot of the issues that people claimed to have with FF13 (the abandoment of illusion of choice, limited exploration, etc...) had their roots in FFX.  It just came to a head with XIII dialing it up to 11.

Also to note; Nintendo is able to keep doing this specialized hardware thing only BECAUSE they have so much internal talent and IPs to lean on. Without it, they would have failed as hard as any other Japanese publisher (and even WITH those internal advantages it got pretty dicey during the Wii-U period).

Yoshi-P described it in the NoClip doc on FF14 as SE having a mentality in the mid-2000s of hyper skilled swordsmith crafting exquisite products while the industry as a whole was automating a ton of that labor intensive work so they could focus on the rest of the product and save money.

This is interesting, because after reading the comments, all I can think with a lot of them is “you’re all right.” The Japanese gaming industry wasn’t ready to shift focus to multiple “similar” platforms simultaneously, they absolutely favored themselves over foreign ideas and people, and the change in what players…

you can’t only release for top end PCs, that’s where the issue with PC releases is.

Series X does have a limitation keeping some games from running on it: The Series S.

If you don’t want to try getting a game to run on the Series S (which is a lot weaker and has 37.5% less RAM) then you can’t make a Series X game, because MS requires they work on both.

Now SE is probably full of shit here, but that…

And it’ll take them at least 6 months to figure out how to get that raw PS5 power converted to something that’ll work on a lowly PC.

“Only the power of Sony’s wallet can run FF16 on the PS5 exclusively.”

Have we already found this generation’s “women are hard to animate”?

ok grandad

Hol’ up everyone!

The roller-coaster at the end of the universe. 

This is the quality content I want to see.

Man, this just cements my theory that the younger generations of video game meme culture are like... two steps away from basically recreating early-2000s Newgrounds while believing they’ve made something new.

This is why people will die on my doorstep before I let them in.

Sorry, not sorry. I’m not getting killed by some demon/ghost/hag.

Rainbow Connection would be #1 if it had not gotten robbed by that forgotten Norma Rae song.
