1997 or 1998, easily:

1998 was the Year I Became Obsessed with Video Games. I’d played the family NES and played Genesis and SNES at friends’ houses, but to me, 2D sprite-based games just never felt “real” enough. All that changed when I got a PS1 for Christmas ‘97. Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil 2 blew me away. The PS1 also had…

I would die happy if they remastered FFVI in this style (especially if they also improved the combat).

That’s not it at all. The subreddit blew up from a few hundred thousand people to around 9 million in just over a week. Who do you think those 9 million were? Idiots, bandwagon folks, uninformed and clueless stock traders.... newbies to the scene, brought in by all the media attention, who never realized they were far…

Good riddance. I hate all type of rioters. These idiot at dc today, those idiots burning cars and local business months ago. 

Why would I feel lost and confused? A bunch of lunatics who can’t accept political defeat (which happens every cycle) throw a temper tantrum. Boo hoo. Doesn’t change my identity or threaten it in any way. They are morons, full stop, end of story.

Sorry, but I require a little more order in my New World

This is a hilarious example of over-compensation. Nooses and the wild west have a lot of relation. There’s no overt or covert racism in a cowboy character having a noose spray anymore than there is him having a wanted poster or any other wild west themed things. No one asked for this. No one asked for any of these…

Agreed. The narrative and main character in Fallen Order were honestly pathetic. There’s zero sense of urgency, for 80% of the game it’s just fuckwit and co traipsing around the galaxy looking for ponchos and paint jobs. They actually wrote an interesting character in the form of the Second Sister, but no, they…

This game was a huge disappointment to me. Lightsaber mods you can barely notice, spending 30 minutes to get to a previously unreachable area only to be rewarded with a poncho, and exploring ancient ruins were all door knobs are two ton brass balls.

And of course the actual webpage doesn’t get the editor. They want to push everyone to the app so they can prevent adblockers. That’s why leaving the webpage open eats up all your RAM in an hour.

Ya I did. I’ve also watched dozens of tech demos over the years so I know the ending of this story. Games will not look like this.

It was a corridor run. That game sucked but it was a pretty corridor run.

Ya but they’re likely be EXTREMELY limited gameplay experiences. Try rendering assets like that in an open world game. It ain’t happening.

I don’t usually do this... but *why* are you writing an article about the Borderlands movie if you want nothing to do with the Borderlands movie and don’t like the games? What’s the point of this take? What’s the value other than to troll?

The tight spaces stuff, if I recall correctly, is typically a trick used to hide loading times from players, which is how the game gets away with (almost) no loading times.

Tifa in the original was fine, but I rarely had her in my party. Tifa in this is an absolute joy to adventure with (although she needs more after battle quips other than needing a shower). Playing as Tifa actually gives the man rapidly swinging a 250lb sword a run for his money. What an absolute badass. Looking…

This is one of the reasons I’m looking forward to the PC version. Not only do I hope someone will mod in a camera mode, but I expect the game to look even more gorgeous thanks to higher end rigs with SSDs.

There is. It’s in the menu. You can set both field and battle camera distances.
