I just got to the part of the story where




———————-SPOILER————————




Cid’s daughter comes to the “hideaway” and she’s the first character to really bring much levity into the game. Not that there’s absolutely none in the first half, but it’s... sparse.

It’s bad optics if your internationally-marketed blank check-budgeted fantasy world of magical humans is populated like a West Virginia renaissance faire.

I had this same thought. I was actually pretty excited for that feature in BFV....and was equally disappointed when they canned it. It’s implemented so well in Battlebit, you can even drag enemy bodies!

I love Jimi Hendrix’s rendition. The Vietnam War was at its height, and you could hear explosions in his guitar riffs. The best anti-war Star Spangled Banner ever. Made my hair stand on end.

As always, again, Leto’s inclusion ruins everything.

I agree very strongly with this. I’m a lifelong Zelda fan and I have lived long enough to have played them all. I agree that the timeline was a marketing gimmick to appeal to people that don’t fully understand the true spirit of the series. I have finished TOTK, I have finished every other Zelda game. I never have…

Look, I’ve spent the last 25 years wrecking my left thumb stretching it out into an uncomfortable position on the left DualShock/Sense stick, I am not about to change my ways, I said GOOD DAY!

My dude, I came here to say the exact same thing and I’m honestly kinda glad you did it first because I’m fighting off a cold and just don’t have the energy for it today.

I hate how relevant this statement is for me. Granted, Tron is barely a franchise in terms of movies, but watching Disney continue to squander the potential of this world across most media platforms just crushes me.

I am baffled at the studios that keep giving Jared Leto lead roles.

This is such a weird-ass project. So you’re Disney, and thirteen years ago you release Tron: Legacy, and it’s a pretty good movie. Its story was nothing new, but the production design and soundtrack is still chef’s kiss. The movie doesn’t exactly light the box office on fire, so they’re apprehensive to make a sequel, b…

some employees signed a petition saying the event was offensive to their Christian religion.

I ghosted some really good friends in college when I had untreated depression, anxiety, and (likely) a binge drinking disorder. I had trouble expressing my emotions when I was upset with one of them. I never learned how to be properly mad or resolve conflict.

This is found in other facets of older FF title as well; simply having a large cast of characters under your control breathes a certain life into them.

Any idiot can cut costs. REAL execs work to increase a company’s value, not strip it.

This is something we’ve seen a lot of over they decades. It’s hitting entertainment pretty hard right now, which is why we’re noticing. It hit retail stores hard a few years ago, now it’s TV and movie’s turn.

I’ve said it before, Zaslav is doing exactly what the CEO of Sears did. A legacy company being acquired by a lesser cheaper company, whose CEO stripped it for as much money as he could while selling of assets and flooding it with cheap crap. The whole goal is lining his pockets in the near term.

I am way less annoyed by FFXVI becoming an action game than I am about so many people asserting that Final Fantasy games have always been about reinvention. Maybe that’s true in terms of setting & narrative (and I would argue you’d have to really stretch the idea of what narrative “reinvention” means in an anthology…

DLSS is better than FSR in terms of both performance and image quality. When given a choice, I’d use DLSS. The 4000 series also supports frame generation which provides a huge performance boost and can make even the most poorly optimized game (e.g. Jedi Survivor) run at a locked 60 FPS.

How sure are we that that’s even the reason? What was the last DCEU movie to make real money? BvS? The ones from the post-pandemic era have been busts. Gunn’s suicide squad made like 200M, Birds of Prey around the same. Black Adam cracked 300M. Shazam made 133 M worldwide, HUGE bust.
