Ive finished Part One in exactly twenty hours. It felt like a meaty AAA RPG story, half a FF7/FF9 but there were some elements that are obviously awaiting the Part Two that really should have been left out until it was completed. For example there are locked chests scattered around the world which use 4 different…

Having finished the game I can say it would be almost impossible to play with a controller, its combat system which is one of its unique points is firmly designed for touch screens as you trace the line of your attacks and pinch them to alter their trajectory.

Lost Odyssey was interesting but I dont think a remaster would really add anything. I live in hope that one day their will be a remake of Legend of Dragoon however....

It looked like a tech demo of porting FF15 engine to the next gen.

YES Master of Magic was a great Civilisation game, far more replayability than Colonisation.

The graphics of the game looked better!

Usual Microsoft modus operandi after acquiring a game studio, have them release one more game, force them to work on a different property and genre you own and then shut them down after only a couple of years as the games youve forced them to make flop.

I hope a years delay will give them enough time to tally rework that menu interface, eughh!

SNL did a skit on it.

They must have had the source code for review and release as the publisher, you dont just let another company release a DLC for your game without looking at the source code and having your own copy.

Of all the Mass Effect games I enjoyed the Mako in the first one the most, it seemed to get worse with each iteration. I also really miss the original survey minigame though it was grindy.

Theres truth to that, I found the train continent content sparse (I presume there was originally planned to be more as you pass through a lot of fully modelled landscape while on the train) and the post timeskip content just bleak. The first continent was by far the best.

Considering theres now an active SEC investigation it is normal to restrict trade in stock that may be subject to criminal charges, usually its the market itself that freezes rather than the platforms but these apps are protecting their users from potentially unwitting criminal behaviour and themselves from fines.

It took the number one spot and held second place for many years, it also simultaneously held the top 6 entries of the Green 500 list of performance per watt.

I think Tactics Ogre was the superior game but FF Tactics gets all the fame.

The Cell wasnt salting the Earth, it was using the most powerful and cost efficient processor available (which was borne out with Cell becoming the basis for most supercomputers for quite a few years afterwards), though it meant coding was a lot harder as it was a new architecture.

I wouldnt put it past Microsoft to have done some salting of the earth, deliberately included incompatibilities in their compilers generation of native code to stop people easily running the Xbox software on their PC’s whilst still trying to make the code as common as possible to help developers.

They are not exploiting the software, the code of the game. They are exploiting the hardware, turning it off while saving so that the save data is corrupted by the hardware then loading that saved data and using that as the basis for their run.

Its not even modding the game, its corrupting the hardware to alter game data. Its no different than if I used a memory editor to change the room number so that I instantly warped to the last room in the game. Or how about If I patched the game so that selecting ‘Start New Game’ instantly played the end credits? Time…

As a PC gamer we are used to those kind of launch issues but the console manufacturers pride themselves on games working out of the box to an acceptable production standard as anything less harms the brand.
