Mmm, Assassin’s Mojito! Maybe the next game takes place in Cuba?

Its going to be Viking Odyssey with some new stuff. Hopefully very little of the ISU bs. 

Play the last two AC games... it’ll play like that. Saved you some wondering :P

I would second it. Hey they CGI Animation looks fun and really nice...but I wont give a fuck about it before I see real gameplay. 

Yeah, I’ve had this same thought having seen it a few days ago. I’ve played the original several times, so I know the beats really well. It started out with me going, “Oh this is great! It’s so friendly to people unfamiliar with the original that they can play this no problem!” and then time wraiths from The Flash…

You mention Rufus, so let me just take this opportunity to note how damn hot that dude is. He was always an annoying ugly twit with cheeto hair in the original, so seeing him as the biggest badassest sexiest motherfucker caught me completely off guard. Really enjoyed that particular boss battle too, very faithful but…

You had me at The Legend of Dragoon. I’m in.

There’s an old saying from Voltaire that reads something along the lines of “Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.”

Or a video game company can donate a big $0 and not be featured in this article. That’s also an option.

Let’s hope they all turn on each other, and then proceed to eat each other alive until the entire playerbase implodes.

100 % agree, I'd have ended it there with the credits and then have a small open world teaser area to showcase possibilities of the next games ( hopefully ) more open world and free vibes, and then ended at the Inn where everyone meets up after leaving midgar.  Nothing happens between midgar and the inn so you have…

It’s a stupid quandary to be in. If you don’t want to be tied to a past game, don’t make a remake. Make something distinct.

I would’ve been perfectly fine with the game being different from the get-go without having any of the hamfisted symbolism about “fate” and “destiny.” I certainly didn’t need PLOT GHOSTS to swoop in and arbitrarily stop certain new scenes but leave entirely different new scenes from occurring. The picking and choosing…

Haha! Good point! That’s true but I think these folks have a good track record! I frankly think that FFX is maybe the most coherent game in the series (though not my favorite) and Kitase was on that with Nojima as writer. So I’m willing to see where this leads.

I mean, the same two guys who crafted Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade created Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Sometimes older guys lose the creative thread of their past work.

The problem with what the way they executed this IMO is that the mandate to do things differently came at the expense of a well told story. Good storytelling should always be the first priority.

95% of the game is a very well told story, but they made a fanwanky hash out of the ending that doesn’t make much sense…

It’s funny because I’m basically King Whisper of Fate in wanting the game to not really be altered that much, and I was immensely satisfied with 95% of the title. All I would do is change three things
1) Remove Roche from existence and Total Recall my brain so I never have to acknowledge what I saw of him
2) Remove all…

I’ve been negative on this remake since it was announced, and I’ve basically shifted towards skipping it entirely as I’ve learned more about it. I was planning on buying it for cheap at one point prior to release, and then my interest plummeted when I heard about the new ending. At this point, I guess I’m waiting to…

I say this constantly, the ending and this project are now bound by the next game. This will either be legendary for elevating and re-invigorating a classic, or infamous for blowing a sure thing. 

The most you’ll need for Squats against Jules is 45.
