yeah, this looks really generic. I have new Bayonetta and GoW games to scratch my action game itch.  I don’t feel like this is very FF, and I don’t feel like they’ve done very well with their experiments in action gaming.  SiP came closest, but it wasn’t quite there (though maybe it could be a template for a future…

I’m ready for him to retire. The more I learn about him the less I like him. I won’t deny he’s a huge reason the game industry is as big as it is today and he’s done lots of good work, but he’s also made a lot of series worse and kept a lot of potentially great games from being made.

I kinda just want a turned based JRPG that looks really pretty. 

The thing is, it’s possible for Final Fantasy to take the real-time combat route and still feel like an FF game (looking at XII and VII:Remake here). But all the previews I’ve seen for XVI don’t strike me as Final Fantasy at all.

It is really making me wonder what the “soul” of Final Fantasy is. I suppose it doesn’t necessarily have to be turn-based combat, though that is my preference, but historically, it has been a game with epic, magical fantasy; world-changing events to deal with; an ensemble of characters we care about; excellent…

The action game thing is a shame, because it’s pretty much a deal breaker for me. I’m just not that interested in action games, especially not from Final Fantasy--I want an RPG. That said, I hope a lot of other people are able to enjoy it. It’s not like I can’t just replay the old ones, after all.

I imagine they have metrics to back up their design shifts, but I can’t help but wonder at their strategy here. One of the linked articles has Yoshida mentioning that fans are distancing themselves from the franchise as it’s gone on, which seems to coincide with its move away from traditional JRPG mechanics in favor…

Well it didn’t happen then either. He started in 1977, when he was 24. The author had a typo/mistake.

I’m honestly okay with Miyamoto retiring or stepping back more from operations at Nintendo. His influence on the company and its games is undeniable, but at some point, new talent has to be allowed to flourish.

The whole debacle with Star Fox Zero probably would have been avoided if he were more hands off as well. 

You misspelled Puddy and the Tick.

How many fewer people would have clicked this of the title would have been upfront and said “Dubai streaming service censors lesbian kiss scene”?. Well done on the click bait!

Wait, dude why are you talking on Fox News? no no no no no no

Actually, the disabled community has A LOT of beefs with Family Guy, and his character is a big one. Regardless of your feelings one way or another, I guarantee you that he’s been criticized and asked to apologize about the show quite a bit.

What, and let me emphasize, the FUCK

That looks nothing like a Karen haircut, what the hell are you on about

IRON MUSCLE

Revenue doesn’t seem to matter.  Every Marvel movie makes it to D+ in less than three months.  Is there a pool for dates?  I call April 15.

Grapplers are villains, this is well established FGC canon. 

Critics both want something fresh that will take things in a different direction and want the same tone of the first two Ant Man movies. Critics and people in-the-know are fairly well aware of where Marvel is going on it’s two biggest tracks: Kang and the Multiverse & Secret Wars, because the comic books are there as…

My theory is all the ants who went to see it were able to sneak past the ticket since they’re so small.
