Words do matter. Especially when combined to form lessons in history and literature.

I remember thinking it ridiculous in 1984 when it’s shown that Big Brother has erased racist caricatures from video games.

So you’re dismissing everything else about the trailer because a very small part of it was an unintentional mistake that’s being rectified? Honestly, I think its great that the developer is taking this to heart and doing something about it because everything else about the game looks amazing. At some point, you have…

When we realized we have to put them in our living rooms. I don’t want to have to redo my decor to keep my new console from looking out of place. Be minimalist and melt into the background. Standing out is the last thing I need of a console - I have decorations for that.

It’s still possible, I just don’t expect them to announce PC port details at a PS5 event.

All donations are tax deductible you dunce. It’s structured that way to encourage and incentivize donating in the first place.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but give EA some credit.  Their approach actually has some teeth.

A bit early to say don't you think?

Lol what

Lol what

But . . . that’s literally the entire premise.

The additions were done because of -how- the story was changed and why. It’s a full game, it’s 40-45 hours of game with a narrative arc with a beginning, middle and end. Saying it isn’t a full game is like saying Fellowship of the Ring isn’t a full movie just because it doesn’t tell the whole story.

That Mario Kart analogy might be the worst analogy that I have ever heard or read.

It’s a full game. It’s 40-hour story, with (based on Kotaku’s review) a beginning, middle, and an end. That ending is a cliffhanger, but that’s true of a lot of games. Are you going to tell me that Halo 2 wasn’t a full game? Or Metroid Prime? Or any other game that ended on a cliffhanger that actually came out in the…

Did you really just say this is worse for the industry than crunch? Crunch has a demonstrable impact on the lives of the people making the game

Anyone who is a fan of FFVII knows what it is. Anyone who is not won’t know the difference; to them it will just be the first game in a series, same as any other.

It’s one quarter of the original, expanded to the length of the original. If that’s not for you, then great news, you don’t have to buy it, but it’s not like they’re trying to hide what it is or cheap out on the amount of content included.

This bullshit again.

That’s nice. Lol

I...don’t understand your stance here, honestly. This literally is only a talking point about this game because it’s a remake, it’s like saying that you shouldn’t buy Trails of Cold Steel because it’s part of a larger story. There’s a point to be made about the game not needing to be only Midgar, for sure, but…
