You do you, homie.
I agree, but also disagree.
In what way are they being anti-consumer? What fuckery are they committing? Is it anti-consumer that you can't buy NES games at Toys R Us anymore? Is it anti-consumer to take down an online store that isn't worth the server space to keep up? As the IP holders, they aren't obligated to allow you access to anything. They sold games for systems, and when people tired of those systems, they stopped making the games for them in favor of ne...
FF7R is a controversial pick for "good remake". It completely re-writes the continuity, creating essentially fanfiction from characters and locations we're familiar with, and has some of the worst voice acting in recent memory. We were supposed to get the FF7 remake during the PS3 era. People still wanted to play a turn based JRPG then. It would have been a slam dunk too if not for the poor adoption rate of the PS3. Fast forward 15 years later and it barely resembles FF7 in bot...
Maybe in the 80s, but in the 2020s, you'd be hard pressed to find a more affordable hobby. Even participating in sports or performing music is expensive.
It's called hyperbole. You used it yourself when you reacted to a headline by saying it was filled with "such anger and vitriol".
In all fairness, if Roblox was doing its job properly, that game shouldn't have been able to be published.
Accountability from the parents is just as important as accountability from the devs/publisher. Kids will always find a way to get at games like roblox, minecraft, and fortnite.
David Jaffe is a boomer who doesn't understand games.
There's a scary amount of parents that need to read your comment.
I know too many people that literally give their toddlers a tablet with internet access and no parental controls and leave the room, simply because they don't care/know any better.
We're so deeply entrenched in remake/reboot culture, that people apparently don't recognize when they're playing an original game because it wears its influences on its sleeve.
Maybe if you ask Capcom really nice, they'll get the announcer to really shout "RESIDENT EVIL......4!!!!!!!" so you remember you're playing a remake.
Halo 2 must never die!
Stop regurgitating corporate buzzwords. It makes you sound like a bot, or worse, a Sony plant. Who tf cares about synergy between their different portfolios to maximize profitability?
I respectfully doubt it. Naughty Dog wouldn't put hundreds of people through the paces of remastering a remastered game because Druckmann wanted our playthroughs to be visually contiguous. One wonders why they felt compelled to make this statement on today of all days, and not, you know, when they were marketing the PS5 re-release.
More like, capitalist enterprise re-releases game a 2nd time in order to make money off of people who have never heard about the game until the show was announced. Don't get it twisted, artistic vision is not why games get published.
Therefore, they'll be releasing a new Castlevania pachinko machine only in Japan, to satisfy the global desire for a new Castlevania platformer.
As if Square Enix is this obscure publisher with rare games that no one has access to anymore.
Worse case scenario: you don't want to emulate, so you find a copy of Chrono Cross for $20 and a PS1 for $20.
PS1 emulation is essentially perfect. Maybe not frame perfect in the same way that hardware emulation can deliver, but you can't tell the difference. You can run epsxe or duckstation on a potato PC.
It does seem like you either love the entire 13 trilogy, or you hate it, or you were like me, and couldn't play an hour of FF13 without being bored to tears.
That being said, I enjoyed bashing my head against the wall playing XV, so who even knows what's good anymore?
If you can't jump, I don't want to play.
I gave FFXV all of me. Rather enjoyed it too. But I can't go back. If you make a new FF, it better evolve on the movement and traversability of the game world. I couldn't even play FF7R because it felt like I was playing a bad version of a 25 year old game with matching gameplay.
At this point, given the state of Square Enix, and the state of FF as a franchise, I'm not going to be playing 16 any...
I don't think anyone is concerned about spoilers. There aren't really any spoilers in RE4 anyway. It's a pretty straightforward narrative.
The problem is retailers breaking street dates and dishonest people working at Capcom.
You bought a steam deck, spending somewhere in the neighborhood of $500 give or take a hundred or so depending on the model, then you use it to play current pirated games. Makes sense.
