*clicks the star button about 20 times* damn you, stop unchecking, I’m trying to give this post all of the stars!

Wow, anyone that thinks this should be hit with a fungo bat.

Yes, but Dany torching King’s Landing will make a lot more sense in the books. The problem isn’t the action, it’s the lack of getting there naratively (and I blame the shortened seasons, and yes, downturn in writing quality, but moreso the breakneck pacing) for this.

Yeah, I agree. My issue with that game was that I saw on the loading screens of ME2 for my entire playthru that “your decisions in this game may have dire ramifications in ME3!”

*chef kiss*

It really is. Anytime I get upset about the ending of something I compare it to that. It’s the gold standard of shitty endings (Brown standard?).

OMG, yes. We’ve already veered into trainwreck-meme territory. This would be hilarious. 

At this point, my money is on the final shot being an old Samwell Tarley closing the book he’s writing and then standing up and walking away with his archmaester chain. 

Yes, THIS!

It’s not as bad at BG in that it doesn’t directly and literally retcon half the series in a nonsensical way, but it does completely screw the pooch. I’d put it at about 1.5 Losts just due to the length of the seasons and the 18 month holdover. Seriously, I waited almost 2 years for this crap?

“...Jason Schreier, who wrote back in 2012 that the actual reason the scene made so many players cry was the way Aeris’ theme softly began to play as she fell.”

My uncle works at Nintendo and says that’s exclusive to the Switch version. 

Letme preface this with the admission that I’m white as anything, and while I do my best to be open minded and treat everyone with respect regardless of their race, sexual orientation, faith, etc, I also admit that sometimes I don’t see things with the same lense or same life experience (which frankly, is bull. Good…

I know the gameplay is very different and that has a lot of people up in arms, but that trailer FEELS like FFVII. Like, the voices sound right, the characters look right, the environment looked right, there were so easily identifiable enemies (Aps!). I’m excited. 

Oh don’t be ridiculous, that will never happen.

And now I’m sad about that all over again. 

Jesse was one of my first gaming crushes early in that game. Was gutted when you lose her so soon. So this is delicious icing on the cake of awesome that is this trailer.

On the one hand, I’m not a big fan of the over the top neon LEDs everywhere look. I’m just a little too subdued for that.

Ha, I believe it. I stopped playing it quite some time ago, before the 2nd jump in endgame weapons among other things (I know they added something after Ancient Legendaries), so another giant spike certainly sounds believable. 

I picked it up way back when it first came out and it didn’t grab me as much as I expected it to (I generally love turn base strat games like Fire Emblem, FF Tactics, etc). Ended up putting it down a dozen or so hours in because I got something else — IIRC I think I got a few games for xmas, and never went back to it.…
