Oh that is such crap; dislike the combat system of 16 if you want, but there is no lack of passion in that game.

“They just have the absolute most insane expectations. They could have shipped through to literally half the PS5 global install base and still been disappointed.”

This. Absolutely this. The eternal “arrow must always go higher” mentality that forces astronomical goals is such a damn cancer that even games that are…

Wait, so are you telling me that when you change a mainline game of a storied franchise from the genre it helped build into a pretty but otherwise mediocre action game, fans who didn’t preorder aren’t interested? 

This ain’t a unique take, but it is the correct one.

At some point, you have to ask yourself about your own expectations for games (i.e. things we play to kill time for fun). We are entering into an environment socially now where everyone wants every single thing addressed according to their liking or articles get written like this. Had the devs/writers stopped to “more…

But then the top executives would each have to take home a slightly smaller bonus! Have you considered what a hardship that would be for them?

The only headlines I want to read about Elon:

I hope we also get this:

Underworld - I find it less bad than aggressively mediocre. I would not be surprised if anyone unfamiliar with the movie would scroll past it and assume that it was just a quick attempt to cash in on the Matrix, but with vampires. I haven’t seen it in years, but IIRC the hybrid werewolf-vampire creature at the end…

I’m really not a fan of influencer culture.

“Got it! Mobile remaster with terrible graphics.”

Based on comments here and elsewhere I feel as if I’m in the minority, but I am one of the few that absolutely loved this game and it’s overriding message. Yes, Kojima loves the sound of his own voice and smell of his own farts, but the central theme of the game is accurate and true.

A successful remake of a popular game that *largely* recreates the original as close to 1:1 as possible. Updated graphics, updated gameplay, maybe some tweaks here or there or shifting some levels around but most crucially does NOT alter the original story in any significant manner?

Like most things in late-stage C-word, ghost kitchens have had a horrible impact on the restaurant industry and only provided an extra mechanism through which major brands can take advantage of additional resources to further squeeze out smaller local businesses while pretending to be small businesses themselves.

Dude has the most unsettling and uncomfortable smile I’ve ever seen. He’s like a cryptid. 

Really don’t understand who this device is for.

You’d think the article would explain it but for those of us non-Redditors apparently Spez is his Reddit username. 

Mods are being caught trying to disrupt the hate by deleting pixels 

I think the main problem is that you have a weird looking game (every trailer looks bizarre to the general audience rather than gamers) that is also an RTS. something that is widely considered a negative on consoles due to controllers simply not having good attributes for RTS control. Outside of Starcraft N64, Brutal…

I probably put a good 2k hours into the original FFT, but do we really need another version on top of the several that already exist?
