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.

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.

2XKO is a bad name but "lol this is the worst ever" is mad hyperbole.

We live in a world where games are titled "UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[cl-r]"

Remake was awesome. If you want a turn-based RPG, play one of those.

Like, I seriously can't comprehend why people think it's fair criticism to bemoan a game for being a different genre from another game in the same series. Yes even if those games share the same name.

Mega Man 2 (Entire OST?)

I feel like the first three are objectively correct, I am not sure about the 4th slot but Mega Man 2's entire OST feels iconic enough to where its the answer maybe? The other three games just have songs that are basically drilled into the brains of anyone that's even approached a video game.

lol accurate

Hot take, both were good but had their faults.

I want them to just focus on Gen 10. It's clear that splitting the focus between multiple games is just making them all worse, so they should just go all in on making one game the best it can be.

Honestly, Scarlet/Violet showed us they can make a good game with the team they have, they just have to give it more time. The game feels like it needed an extra year to cook. It would've been fantastic with more quality control.

No

Because those things don't have to be mutually exclusive? Especially since, like you said, they already released all those games before? They have more than one team working on more than one game.

The ideal scenario is Generation 10 has more time to cook, so they need to release games in between, right?

I actually agree that Brawl was a step forward from Melee in perhaps every regard except competitive level gameplay. I certainly had more fun with it, anyway.

Man, if you don't want another Let's Go, don't buy it. Simple. I hate that people have this mindset, "thing exists and that makes me angry." Like, I'm pretty sure Pokemon has more than one team working on all of its various media.

Anyway, Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee was enjoyable enough for a lighthearted playthrough and an easy way to pick up mons to transfer over to different games. I had a good time with it, and we could definitely use a break from main generation games.

Honestly, I'm 100% down for Smash Ultimate DX and just continue Smash Ultimate with another fighter's pass and plenty of fixes. This is the ONE type of game where something like that is not only acceptable, it'd be welcome.

Not good, but Iconic.

I do legitimately love Oath in Felghana though. Very fun game.
