This has always been the rub in the debate over digital ownership — even when it’s a physical medium, we never truly own it forever. Those of us of a certain age knew this when we replaced our VHS with DVDs, and those who replaced DVDs with Blu-ray. It’s always been temporary.

Yeah, his visual style is often garish and ugly. It relies so heavily on green screen artificiality that it often ages before our eyes. Repeated melodramatic slo-mos doesn’t make a film beautiful

It was a book, too!

I was expecting Dash Rendar

I don’t tip Door Dash drivers

I’m sure it’ll be bought by someone(s) who will think, “if we cut quality, and increase prices, we can increase revenue! Why has no one ever thought of this? I must be a genius.”

Yep, she was the creative director and writer on the original Uncharted trilogy. She was also the director on Jak 3. And she directed and wrote the Soul Reaver series, after being a designer on the original Legacy of Kain.

Absolutely psyched for another Amy Hennig game. It’s been too long since she was last in charge of a project!

I don’t want to shit on the production values — yeah, the CGI around the suit looks a bit cheap, but they seem to have a lot of physical props on a real set, which I respect in this overly green-screen era. But the Vault Dweller’s make-up looks…

Me, reading the headline: “Well, at least the music is cool”

The core of art is human expression. Without the human, it’s just a waste of time.

That said, if you don’t try and adhere to what makes the original so beloved then you’re not going to make anyone happy.

The irony of my defense of FF16 is that I am, so far, actually preferring Rebirth. My enjoyment may or may not be nostalgia-driven. I also have to finish Rebirth first, as my estimation of FF16 decreased the further I got into the game. But at no point has it been apparent that the development of FF16 was ever “lazy.”

Anonymity on the internet lets people be their worst self.
