Yeah the faces look like goddamn zombies. Its legitimately terrible.

There's nothing transphobic or whiny about this. These new avatars are genuinely hideous. The new models look like developer pre-alpha placeholders and/or like someone pushed "random" on Fallout's character creator.

Yeah Vampire Survivors is awesome. It started an entire subgenre for a reason.

He absolutely did it. One of the biggest injustices of our system ever.

Soulreaver, definitely.

And yes I am aware of the irony of sounding negative while complaining about people being negative. lol

Default sorting is Top, downvoted comments disappear to the very bottom of a thread. If its a thread with a lot of replies, it's going to disappear. It will stay down there unless you sort by controversial, posts are only "controversial" if they're also being upvoted somewhat and even that doesn't seem to make any sense. Dissenting opinions just get banished to the bottom of the page. Oh, god help you if you're using the official app, which is the only way to view Reddit on mobile anymore since their API changes nuked every third party app.

Another big issue is sometimes subreddits are run by moderators with agendas. Entire boards can be taken down in protests over whatever they're angry about this time. Automod bots can nuke your posts based on AI detecting sentences / words in your post and deciding it breaks an obscure subreddit rule without anyone even checking ("No posts asking X question, post them in the megathread to be ignored!"). Reddit is a cesspool outside a select handful of subs.

You sound negative

Bruh have you even browsed boards other than B8? We're pretty chill here but almost every game board on this site I've bothered browsing is just tons of trolling / doomposting. Or if they don't start that way, they devolve into pointless arguments that dominate the entire thread. Genuinely, I think THIS board might be one of the last relatively fine ones left. Really, both sites suck. I will say Reddit can be useful if all you're doing is lurking for info about certain things, often better than Googling for some obscure clickbait website with 90% ads.

Random game boards are always just cancerous AF on this site. 90% negativity all the time. Don't get me started on GameFAQs' wrestling boards, DBZ board, its all bickering and childish bullshit. At least on Reddit you can put people on blast and downvote their BS out of sight.

Issue with Reddit is that if you don't agree with the hivemind of whatever subreddit, you're going to be silenced.

Like, its slow but its certainly not ACTUAL TORTURE like the Cait Sith BS!

Aerith's section worse than Cait's???????????????????????????

Damn that's a hot (and wrong) take.

Super Mario World
Chrono Trigger
A Link to the Past
Final Fantasy VI

I'd be thrilled to find out I'm 100% going to make it to 72 years old. Hell yeah.

Horizon is pretty mid yeah. Definitely enjoyed Rebirth's open world more. Mostly.

Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 3
Mega Man 2
The Legend of Zelda

Reddit has a lot of toxic mobs and is generally worse but the unfiltered toxicity on some parts of GameFAQs are somethin else.

Zangan way too low damn.

The piano kinda sucks. It's cool, but it's definitely way too demanding. I got a C-Rank on a performance with literally zero misses. C'mon...

Better to oversimply everything and then just constantly make exceptions and backtrack yourself for the rest of your life

Or just... and hear me out, judge each game individually on it's merits rather than making assumptions!

Right, but people have been using "live service" as a blanket term and discounting them as automatically bad.

It's the worst kind of un-thinking that is running rampant these days.

Isn't every active MMO also a "live service" game? Any fighting game that exists primarily on its multiplayer servers?

I reached Cosmo Canyon and immediately it gives me what I want.

I love Red but always thought his voice was at odds with the character being comparatively young, but the change in his voice when he arrived in CC was so sweet

Oh I'm so glad to see someone agrees with me about this! It's funny because on Reddit its largely people complaining about this "change". Literally saw people use the words "character assassination". In regards to a character with no voiceover in the original game???

I fucking love this game. It's so fun. I can't wait for it to function properly months after launch.

lol the state of modern gaming.......

but seriously, the game is SO fun. love blowing up bugs.

9.5/10 for me, ending was confusing but I am intrigued AF as to how this is all going to wrap up in the third game, which ultimately is kind of the most important thing you can do with a middle part of a trilogy.

LOVE the entire cast now. Even Cait Sith, though Chapter 11's Cait Sith section was definitely the lowest of low points.

Minigames were hit or miss but mostly skippable. Fuck the Chocobo stealth sections though. Singlehandedly brought my opinion from 10 to 9.5.

Had zero technical or performance issues playing on a new PS5 slim, digital version of the game. No crashes, absolutely flawless even before this new patch?

I am beyond relieved this is reviewing well, even despite the obvious technical problems. I cannot wait to play, unlocks on PS5 in an hour and a half!!

Bigfoot
Nessie
El Chupacabra
The Hat Man

The problem isn't playing as other people. The problem is "here's a unique gimmick you'll never use again that is just annoying".

Chapter 11 is the worst example though. Most dogshit section of any game that I'd rate 10/10.

If youre not feeling the open world content, just skip it. There is no requirement to play it. Personally I enjoy it because its presented in such a convenient way with the ability to fast travel to any location and only a few things to do per tower, but the game really does just let you mainline it. At least up to where I am.

This is where I'm at now, a few days after my last post. You can mostly skip past it just like running directly to the next town on a JRPG's world map.

That said, some of these mandatory minigames / "play as another character with their unique gimmick" sections are ass. Chapter 11, looking at you.

The cynical part of me says yes but,

Banning it sets a dangerous precedent.

This is the real take.

Without a doubt it's got a slow start. I got used to and comfortable with the open world after getting the chocobo, but found myself a bit tired of the open world stuff once I got into the second region... ...at first. I grew to appreciate it a little bit more as I progressed and realized that it can all be done in bite-sized bits that you can always return to (barring a few sequences where you temporarily lose backtracking). They're good to knock out in short playsessions at a time. Some of the minigames are miss but a few are fine. Honestly, it's a lot like how JRPGs always used to be on Disc 3, just now it's from the very beginning.

I'd say it officially hits its stride when you get to Upper Junon. The main story starts to get quite a bit more interesting when you get there, and the game goes really, really hard on certain bits of plot. Every single party member is a bestboy/girl candidate this time around.

I was ho-hum about it all at first but without a doubt it picks up speed. I've not yet felt the need to grind which is a plus, combat gets much more satisfying the farther you get in, the more abilities you unlock, and the more materia slots you get. My hope is that if there's a part 3, the pace starts on the higher end of the bell curve now that what I assume is the formula going forward is established.

I think the best takeaway is that we don't have a "remake of FF7" so much as a new game following the story of the original game with a ton of reverence for it. I found myself grinning ear to ear on more than a few occasions after things did get going.

Some of these are really odd choices lol

To clarify, "this is going to keep happening and getting worse until laws get passed" and "It's just crazy how all ads were truthful until 2022." is more what I'm shaking my head about. Like, WHAT????

Yeah, absolutely, people have used AI-generated art to throw together some low effort advertisements. Here's the thing though, misleading advertisements are old AF, before generating became super easy and cheap, it was stock images, photoshop, etc.

Anyway, I didn't mean to touch a nerve, there? I get it, it's a hot button topic, but chill.

Jesus, you might be a little too emotional about this, dude.

I love of some of y'all think scams are a new thing, created specifically by AI art. Come on.

I hate this too. It's even worse if the game has a stamina system wherein the hero can't even jog for as long as my fat ass.

Yeah um, I know it's hip and cool to say "boo Nintendo" but this is, for once, kinda a situation where Nintendo hasn't really done anything wrong. Yuzu goofed hard and repeatedly. They put themselves in this situation.
