I’m getting serious Anthem vibes from this.

Somewhere Superman is like “And you insist that I’M the kill crazy one.”

That’s it? Seriously, this is IT? This is all they were able to do with all this tech at their disposal? God, this shitshow just keeps going

And your question was shit

And you are a terrible liar.

Good times

They need to find some way to justify overpriced GPUs, constantly updating drivers, replacing CPUs, and all other junk they have to deal out instead of, y'know, just buying a console once every five to six years

Because we’re still obsessed with the “graphics” argument.

Hmm, why do I get the same feeling that happened with Rare and Lionhead? Seriously, all the new 1st party purchases MS has made over the last couple years should be feeling PRETTY NERVOUS

At the very least they should stop using it as window dressing. Using the image to drum up hype for a game is pretty slimy

That’s a pretty accurate evaluation of the series post-VII. And that’s definitely one of the reasons the series REALLY started fumbling. I-VII, even putting aside quality, did radically different things with their stories ans settings. They always did something new with the series, shifting in narrative, theme, and…

Unfortunately there are TONS of games like FFVIII. There is nothing new about a sloppy plot hacked together from incompetent writers throwing every concept they have hoping to make something compelling out of it. There were tons of them before and there have been tons of them since. The only reason it stands out is…

I have never seen someone bend over backwards so hard trying to justify a plot this botched (and I’ve seen SnyderCut fans!).

The entirety of Rinoa’s existence is to be Squall’s girlfriend. Not exactly a well-aged story

I suppose it was “ambitious” in trying to center the game around some sort of epic love story, but it completely botches that. You want a love story that means something, where the lovers have stories outside of each other, where the other characters of the party have their own arcs and sub-plots, and has a narrative w…

Also, why are the other characters even there? Literally no one in the party has an arc and they’re mostly just there to endure Squall being an asshole 24-7

I seriously wonder what went down during the writing phase because not only is the romance (which the entire story hinges on) a complete bust but there really isn’t any sort of plot. Heck, there isn’t even a unifying theme to it. It also doesn’t help that literally no one besides Squall has an arc. Rinoa’s entire arc…

Now if only they would remaster Squall being a complete fuckhead and there being no story
