These are the most egregious examples, but I didn't include them because I never played the original versions of either. But, yeah, these are the biggest red flags to me. I really don't understand the perceived market for them. Part of the problem with the "modern gamer" is that they need to be more discerning with…

That's fair. You are definitely entitled to your opinion. Graphical upgrades are not really something I care about so I don't mind it. I just have started to value my time and money more as I'm growing older, and I'd like for people to consider this as they buy remakes that will continue to be thrown at us. Do I…

But why was a rerelease important? Do you have a copy of the game on Wii? Why not just replay that instead?

Were the graphics such a detriment that it should not have just been released on PSN instead? Was it worth the (I'm assuming) extra effort to update all the graphics? FF12 is a bubble case for me, again because of the Zodiac edition. As for saying it came out 10 years ago, the PS2 had a very long shelf life.…

Yeah, I know, but ehhhh. I still think it's too recent of a game to merit a remake. But then again, I went apeshit over the Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix HD Remake that just has extra bosses not released outside of Japan. So I'm just a big ol' hypocrite.

I can't wait for the next Suikoden game to just be 108 different pachinko machines.

My issue is that I need to plan playing older games around the release of newer games. I believe I unthinkingly started Skies right before Trails in the Sky: SC came out and I pretty much had to play that after years of waiting.

Someday I will quit randomly starting other really long RPGs and I will sit myself down and finish Skies of Arcadia. Someday.

To me, the Twilight Princess remake was just Nintendo's quick fix to apologize for not having Zelda WiiU out yet. The Wind Waker remake is tough for me because I am not a huge fan of the original game, and I'm not sure the new visual style is enough of a justification for a remake. The Twilight Princess remake,…

This isn't technically an announcement but a lack of an announcement. I would love for not one single company to announce an HD remake of any of their games. I get that remakes are a safe way to almost guarantee profit, but, at this point, I feel like we're constantly getting inundated with remake announcements. Is it…

I could not agree more. And the story really has potential. I love the Law and Chaos heroes standing in alcoves across from each other in the Cathedral, upset that the other one won't see eye to eye with them. It really feels like you're on the fringe getting glimpses at a good story but you can't quite get there,…

Thanks for this. I've been salivating over the Legend of Zelda shoes for a while now so I was finally able to purchase them!

I'm pretty close to finishing Shin Megami Tensei, I think, and the strain is really starting to show in this last part of the game. At this point, I'm escaping from every battle unless I know I can take out enemies in one turn without using any MP. Fighting demons gives very little EXP anymore and it doesn't feel…

Snake! This is Big Boss. Turn off your Pachinko Machine immediately!

Since it's Wednesday, I'm going to take a second to rant about The Challenge to nobody in particular. So far this season there have been 4 episodes total, and over 4 hours of television we have seen 2.5 Challenges and ONE elimination. Not only that, we've seen one team removed for medical reasons and one team quit…

I played through SMTIV with an Agility/Luck build and really enjoyed it. Most of the time I could rely on MC to destroy almost everything with Mahama(on)/Mamudo(on) and just use my remaining demons as cleanup. That way, I didn't really have to worry about making sure my demons were exactly what I needed to get me…

Rose is the WOOOOOOOOOORST

I'm finally feeling the bullshit factor we all know and love when it comes to SMT games in Shin Megami Tensei. It had been pretty smooth sailing for a while but I finally got to a dungeon full of demons that enjoy causing the Panic status and I had no way to heal it. Items don't work, and I also could not find a demon…

I've been really disappointed in the back half of this season of The Flash. It felt like none of the emotional moments were really earned, and plot was happening for plot's sake, characters be damned. The first half of this episode also felt like filler because they needed an excuse for Barry to not immediately jump…

Yeah I tried playing it earlier this year and just could not get into the combat. It's very strange.
