I’d be happy with official mod tools. Not forme, because I r dumb. But the modding community could effectively create new campaigns to last year’s. 

If you like FFT, Tactics Ogre: Reborn is a game I can’t recommend enough, even if you bounced off it first go round (I did with Let Us Cling Together on the PSP when it came out, for whatever reason). The production values, quality of life improvements, presentation, the newly orchestrated soundtrack make the remaster…

Mechanics aside (the endlessly rewarding job system, tightly focused battles, strong pacing), the thing none of the Final Fantasy Tactics imitators and spiritual successors match or even attempt is the tone: hard-bitten, cynical, but shot through with glimmers of hope, decency and a humanist core.

Tactics Ogre is a great game and probably the second best of ‘those games’ in my opinion. It loses out to FFT in the art department, with FFT having bigger and bolder sprites and better animations overall. The remake of TO has solved this to a degree, but FFT was also better balanced. In the original TO archers were…

I agree that Final Fantasy Tactics does feel a bit like a once-in-a-lifetime fluke, but I do remember Tactics Ogre also being pretty good, albeit slightly more frustrating than FFT.

There’s one weird historical trick for removing unrepresentative rulers from office...

Why would anyone pay money for cosmetics in a game where the character sprites are so small you can barely tell what color your pants are?

“I’m worried about the kids going to the bus stop. They’re gonna be walking down this road with these big trucks you saw going by, and people flying in and out to go to the car wash,”

The depressing visuals are key to the narrative, and they definitely do capture the mood.

Sean Miller in an interview:

A few days ago i commented on some guide article about how this website sure has changed and someone replied “elaborate”. And well... now this happened.

The internet and websites we frequent are just overall shittier than they were 10, even 5 years ago. More and more places disappearing, more and more consolidation with things being worse for the end user/customer. 

Waypoint shut down, All of Giant Bomb’s original folks moved on, now the last of the oldschool Kotaku writers leaves the site. I know that most of these folks have other projects ongoing, but it does seem like a lot of my old standard bookmarks aren’t what they used to be, for better or worse.

You need to change the title to: “Perseverence finds organic molecules on Mars.”

Weird. Normal people don’t want to buy a $50k car with 7% interest rates, tech that’s outdated faster than a modern smartphone, a business model that’s constantly pushing microservices, and tracks all your movements with no way to opt out or find out where that information is going?

Your first paragraph makes you sound like a heroin junkie who should have detoxed 20 years ago.

Yeeeeah, I’m not gonna lie, something about this article just seems... off. I’ll admit I’m not familiar with how an article is looked over/edited, but maybe Ashley or an editor is just having an off day?

I can guarantee you they will because I finally just bought an Amazon Warehouse PS5 (the God of War pack) for $399.

I can’t believe I’m having an opinion on Miranda Sings, but it certainly doesn’t seem like she wanted to fuck these kids, so grooming doesn’t seem apt. I will admit that dumping your emotional bullshit onto a bunch of teenagers is abusive, but “exploiting him for the free labor of posting on her social media accounts”…
