Marvel’s obsession with committing genocide over and over again is more than a bit unsettling at this point. With how often its come up its seeming like the message that Marvel is trying to send is less ‘genocide bad’ more ‘minorities aren’t allowed nice things and if you start to get happy we’ll kill you all off’.

But since it IS a Final Fantasy game, SPACE, or ALIENS must be involved somehow in the game’s last 10%. The sudden wacko shift to cosmic fantasy is a series staple!

I have bounced off FF12 hard several times over the past 18 years. But the people who like it REALLY like it.

I hate how many of the things I’ve liked over the years turning into complete garbage in the name of pumping stockholder value by any means necessary

In regards to the right place to find an answer to something, thats 100% sure. Trash Websites have gotten so good at SEO that it’s ruined things like google.

Owls have very small brains. Their eyes take most of their skull’s space. All in all, they’re not really smart, even for a bird.

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).

I was very hyped for this when they were talking about the classics catalog before they made the change because I thought it meant all the Final Fantasy games, Breath of Fires, etc. What they ended up giving for RPGs in the classics is a bit disappointing.

Agreed. Japan-centric genres (e.g. platformers, fighting games, JRPGs) in the 80's and 90's became less popular as western-centric genres (e.g. shooters and WRPGs) became more popular in the 2000's. Japanese developers initially struggled to adapt but have since developed a better understanding of western…

I always just figured it wasn’t a drop in quality from Japanese developers, but audiences starting to prefer the open worlds and agency provided by titles like Oblivion, Elder Scrolls, the Witcher, and etc. This was probably the period where the term JRPG was most relevant because there were significant mechanical…

By that definition, there’s no “democratization” here at all. There is animation software out there that is completely free, and plenty of free tutorials on how to use it. The only thing stopping you from creating animation is refusing to put the time into it.  Everything you need is already cheap & accessible.

You’re right, but that’s also sadly the crux of their problem: they want to prove the benefits of their tech by showing a style already recognized as distinct, but they have to do that because they aren’t artists who can create a distinct style themselves, and no sane, already recognized artist will risk letting an AI…

Overtly defining AI-generated images as “plagiarism” seems like a slippery slope that could lead to any art provably influenced by another person’s art as plagiarism.

I don’t know if I’ve ever been on a journey like this in video games, or ever will again.

Official announcement includes Legend of Dragoon in the Classics Collection. Hell yeah. I never got a chance to play that back in the day.

Besides Kratos having died a few times already, the other reason it would’ve sucked is that you know the story Atreus lived through would have been one hell of a good game we missed out on.

The “infinite update” mentality is exactly why we don’t have things like Stardew Valley 2 or Terraria 2. I’ve said this before and most people slam me for it and say I should just play the new content for those games. But the reality is I don’t want to. I beat Terraria four times. I don’t want to play that game…

I was wondering to myself “oh, how bad can it be that it sparked this much of an uproar?” Well, after watching, I definitely see that it’s a very dull trailer (especially when compared to their usually incredible trailer work), but I still don’t get it. People in the League community will get mad about anything.

It’s just dehumanizing “sheeple” or Holden Caulfield’s “phonies” repackaged for the 21st century. The NPC term is very online but the narcissism isn’t.

You could make this list 100 games long and still be leaving good games off.
