> Who gets the friend group?

Congrats to MonoArtan for the and i guess Zack for taking ownership of said win! And we got 3 members in the won column this week!!! Keep up the good work!!! And Zack I see you suggested I go to hell...well jokes on you 2020 is hell!!!

On the flipside, the internet as we know it couldn’t exist is companies were held responsible for the actions of private individuals using their services.

The Irony Fairy rolled a natural 20 this morning.

Give it time.

There are for sure degrees though. Nintendo uses Chinese manufacturing like everyone else but they aren’t a literal arm of an oppressive government.

“That said, it’s often hard to distinguish between legitimate concerns with Tencent and racist or anti-Communist sentiments among right-leaning players.”

Ya know how everybody wanted an Assassin’s Creed set in Japan? Here it is.

I prefer the coloring in the original. There are more earthy and rusty tones, especially on the character models.

This comment in an article about Ghost of Tsushima kinda illustrates why they might reticent about delving into PS5 too much. Sony still has PS4 games to sell; MS, not so much with Xbox One.

(While we’re asking, can we have a 3rd Birthday remaster, too, please?)

Worth pointing out, Zacks’ death scene is in the original FF7 as well*. If you return to the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim during disc3, and there may be other conditions I’m forgetting, you get a whole cutscenes that covers his and Cloud’s escape from the basement lab, return to Midgar, and Zack being mowed down, in…

But then I wouldn’t have been reminded that I have Xenogears and Suikoden II...

I’ll just leave this here, a bit of forced perspective with the oil barrel bathtub> smokestacks, coupled with a loooot of impressive set dressing.

OP made a great joke referencing game dialogue, and you just shut them down 😢

Jenova fight was pretty great. Enjoyed the music evolving over time the further along you got. But one thing...

I get it when people say they don’t like it, or that it’s not what they wanted. Like, leading up to this point, people really thought they were getting something they had been hoping for for like, 15 years. And it turns out to be something other than that. It’s 15 years of expectations. Even if they just did the thing…

Except we knew even LESS about Sephiroth at this point in the original game, and Zack was introduced with exactly zero explanation there as well. The original game was “newbie unfriendly” in literally exactly the same way.
