Ill never forget Drakengaurd 3. It's one of those games I'll return to since it's pretty high probability that one day we'll get to play it at 4k 60 on rcsp3. But oh man when I fired it up I was like, "did my PS3 not download the patch or something?" Clearly going to unreal wasn't the right move at that time. 

I hear what you’re saying. I’m not saying they’re trash, but are the AAA studio that does nothing but hit home runs like feel like they used to (yes I’m using a bit of hyperbole)? I don’t think they are personally. Square publishes good games but their in house stuff always feels like it needs more time to cook. The…

Buddy, if you’re gonna start touting all that awesome hardware, you better be talking about your rad RGB mods to go with it.

I’d say these takes are reality? Automata was good in spite of SE, not because of them. I mean they both just partnered for Babylon’s fall, which was clearly a game they wouldn’t have made had they not been asked to. I’ll be curious to see if they can fix that game.

As someone who actually bought the original nier on 360 when it came out, I can say yes, but I’ll be more specific.

At least with 12 you could jump between and I felt like since I “programmed” my people they behaved how I would want them to. Though the next game looks like DMC5...which I like a lot...but it’s not an rpg. I always hope for the best...

Ive been saying that for as long as you. Their games were such a golden standard pre PS3 era, everyone tried to copy what they made. No one tried to copy FF13 or 15. Nier was good on accident. Their Pc ports suck.

I had read something about that they had requirements of some sort, but I guess if you have a disclaimer it works. Aren't those dos games packaged with Dosbox just like GOG does? Dosbox is pretty rock solid. 

Right, of course there must be a smart balance. Maybe the SDKs for games don't become radically different from one version to the next. Thing is the certification wouldn't necessitate code changes, maybe you just submit something as the developer verifying full functionality? I donno. As always there's a better way to…

In a way they do. You can’t have your game listed if it doesn’t work on modern hardware. Obviously those changes that break things on windows happen at a much slower pace than the mobile platforms, but seeing as how I have a ton of stuff that doesn’t work on my android, I like knowing steam does a reasonable job of…

Its also crazy likely it has nothing to do with the war and their progress just isn't good enough. 

Sorry, I meant to say, all versions of FF9 have that issue. I agree that FF7 and 8 are fine. It’s apparently based on a mobile port that why it has some odd left over UI choices. It's frustrating because apparently they rebuilt the game which really created an opportunity for load speeds akin to SNES days. 

Sorry if I made you feel bad. I meant it as a joke because...you know Nomura. FF7R is gonna require 7 parts. He has the writing style of soap opera writers. “I wasn’t actually dead, I was in a coma.” I like the games, I like the dude, but having a start, a middle and an end is not his strength. 

They all have that loading issue I think. Since we're on the best this port up, the loading is atrocious when you enter a new area. I think I counted and the first battle in a new area takes about 20 seconds to load? But another overlooked but extremely annoying thing, the damage points in a battle display at 60 fps…

I hope you take this in the spirit it’s intended, but if I know KH, some of those things weren’t wrapped up afterall....

I think  you misunderstood what I meant. I mean it's like the companies don't care, but then the sales of the BC are good which makes them say let's do a remake. 

I find it so odd that very quickly after these games go BC on Xbox, they frequently announce their is a remake coming. I mean they could have decided two years before BC release that they'd do a remake. It's just kind of like why now?

I actually thought the FF8 port was solid. The FF9 port....that had some serious, serious issues. 

Yeah I don’t disagree. But you gotta wonder will Sony or MS want to cater to people like us and offer us a console option. Phil Spencer has talked about this in podcasts sounding like they will still offer consoles even when cloud becomes larger. Also regarding the Madden crowd, I wonder what that consumer does when…

I'm with you. I'm as expert of a PC user as they come and I still love the simplicity of a console.  You always have to tweak, and fiddle on PC even on the best circumstances.
