They literally knew all of this when they decided to port their game to iOS. They did not have to make this product. They chose to make a product for a system which had rules of which they were fully aware. You don’t get to do that and then complain that you don’t like the rules.

I love the Fallout series, but I certainly don’t feel like living it

Imagine how sad one’s life must be to review-bomb some game on Metacritic, esp. over some perceived “SJW”-ness or something.

Turns out that one was a joke. Their profile is also BLM stuff.

This is the T-800s D3 in the game:

No one forced him to sign the contract. He agreed to the timing and then failed to meet it. Then he got an extension that was even longer than he asked for and STILL didn’t hit the deadline. And then bad-mouthed the people who tried to cover for it. 

What a mess? It’s a clusterfuck, for sure, but it’s not really a mess.

It is important to understand that there is a difference between music mixed for inclusion in the game and music mixed for inclusion in the OST. Several people have noted this difference when looking at the waveforms but have misunderstood why there is a difference. When a track looks “bricked” or like a bar, where…

It’s important to note at this point that not only were we disappointed to not deliver the OST with the launch of the CE, we needed to be mindful of consumer protection laws in many countries that allow customers to demand a full refund for a product if a product is not delivered on or about its announced…

Listen, obviously we don’t know the full story or who is really to blame, but I’m kind of inclined to believe Marty on this, and it seems like Mick had something of a breakdown.

I totally get not being happy with how your work is being presented, but if you can’t meet deadlines and someone else has to finish your work, …

So Mick went full “auteur syndrome”, burnt every bridge he could find because he thought he could get away with it because he deemed himself that essential to the product, and then threw a social media hissy-fit because the dozens of people who also were vital to the project didn’t want to put up with his bullshit…

And then the fight is followed by Rufas, who is fittingly the cheapest boss in the game.

Such an amazing fight. In addition to what was listed above, I also enjoyed that this fight really forces you to keep track of all three party members to a level that wasn’t required before. All the stage hazards and various projectiles mean that you need to keep Aerith out of harm’s way, whereas in most fights your…

That seems like a rather unnecessarily convoluted way to justify changes “in-universe” when just changing them without the meta-commentary (like they did with the new Wall Market) would have sufficed.

Thats what I’ve been gathering. Sephiroth wants Cloud to save her because if he does then Aerith can’t commute with the livestream to help Holy stop Meteor.

It could be 7 seconds, I guess? But that would make more sense if this was a vision of Sephiroth he had right before the impalement happens! My guess is that he’s just saying there’s 7 seconds left to decide if this is the path Cloud wants to choose? But again, I have no idea what he’s going on about so whatever.

Exactly - Nomura falls into that same creative trap over and over, he can’t help but compromise the setting and tone to pursue some unnecessary flashy meta wankery. All of his projects for more than ten years now undermine themselves by losing sight of the main plot in favour of chasing some half-baked, ham-handed,…

it was such a whiplash going from a a rescue mission to suddenly fighting against the embodiment of fate to save the world. Maybe it’s just me, but it felt a little too soon for the stakes to be so high.

Yeah, I’ve had this same thought having seen it a few days ago. I’ve played the original several times, so I know the beats really well. It started out with me going, “Oh this is great! It’s so friendly to people unfamiliar with the original that they can play this no problem!” and then time wraiths from The Flash…
