What about the SNES version? The shadow effects aren’t there, and the levels have distant backgrounds.

“Nuke Cait Sith.”

:(

5. Sure, why not.

4. Iffy on this. I liked how the original ended ambiguously; explaining it/tying it in to Advent Children would take away from its majesty. I’m hoping that none of the Compilation content is referenced, truthfully; keep Final Fantasy VII standalone.

3. Sure, why not.

2. Sure, why not.

1. Oh please no,…

Rare Replay is definitely far more attractive than Nintendo’s current approach to their back catalog. In my personal opinion, I don’t think it’s cool to charge $10 for games that are almost twenty years old and virtually everyone who is even slightly interested in video games has played. In an ideal world, they would…

I don’t see how “Scalebound’s pet can join in the combat and be awesome” makes it look “better” than the Last Guardian when that game is aiming for an entirely different experience (one that doesn’t focus on combat/killing things) than Scalebound’s.

As for my opinion of Scalebound itself, do I think it looks cool?…

Oh goodness. It’s either this or the Biscuits and Gravy chips.

Good news is a good start to a good Friday!

As far as the show floor went, Nintendo’s booth was by far the one I kept returning to the most. Aside from that:

Best swag: Nintendo

Except no, because online isn’t always an option (i.e. playing on a projector or a television at a public place such as your local bar, or couch multiplayer with your friends).

A). This is a catoblepas, and its appearance more or less matches the classical description of the legendary creature,

B). the catoblepas has appeared in past Final Fantasy games, and

C). it’s silly knocking developers for being creative and coming up with new monster designs (which the catoblepas isn’t, but Pliny the…

It seems that a lot of the opinions here are *entirely* dependent on being framed within the context of two things;

A). the hardware specs of current Android-running smartphones, not those of a home console device, and

B). a poorly-managed app store that rewards shovelware and allows gems to slip through the cracks…

“Mobile is where the future of gaming lies.”

Well, he’s not wrong, for better or worse.

As a fan of Castlevania, Goemon and other classics, I do think it’s unfortunate that old companies such as Konami are moving away from “meaty” games. However, I do detest the “they’re not making hardcore/’real’ games” attitude fans…

“There are so many reasons arcades aren’t a thing anymore, but for my money, I stopped showing up when the boxes attached to my TV were giving me the same experience. Consoles were cheaper, more convenient.”

Playing games on consoles at home will never offer the same social experience that playing games in a public…

Honestly, if people are supporting Hatred simply because they have strong feelings about censorship, then I don’t think they are very principled at all. I’d say the disgust that any rational person would have at the fact the game was apparently made with little more than the juvenile intent of being edgy for the sake…

Those pesky plumbers better watch out!

Final Fantasy VII really does have the most polished and thematically rich narrative in the series. I know it’s always that someone needs to jump into a conversation about VII and scream “VI WAS BETTER,” but I think people like that are driven by nostalgia just as much as they criticize VII fans for being so. VI was…

I don’t think the question is whether or not we “can” divorce personality from political viewpoints, but whether or not we “should.”

I won’t go into what I like and/or dislike about President Obama or what crazy right-wingers say about him, but I will say that views affect people, especially when those views are held…

That’s like saying “it’s too bad that you denigrate this hypothetical white supremacist KKK member’s ‘actual’ personality by the views they hold; they’re a very friendly person who you can chill out and have a beer with.” I’ve met people who are complete jackasses in terms of personality but have morally sound…

Bomb threats are deplorable regardless of how awful the individuals they target are. No one deserves to be the victim of senseless violence, and no one should wish such senseless violence on other individuals.

I’m confused; maybe I misread the article, but wasn’t male pregnancy via abduction already a feature in the series since the Sims 2?
