Yeah, Final Fantasy IX was horrible, and so was X, and XI, and XII, all of them suck

I’d like to note I’ve been playing on a Ryzen 9 9950X/Radeon 7900 XTX on Linux, and it’s been going pretty well! With a couple of tweaks, it looks and runs great. Seems like they’ve turned it around a whole lot since launch.

Persona 3 Reload < Mario Party Jamboree is an unhinged take, but aight

VI could be split into a P1/P2 for its two main parts. I’d like to see a greatly expanded second half, as I felt that was one of the weaker parts of the game.

It’s not minimal at all. Forbidden West load times on PS5 are radically shorter than PS4. Final Fantasy XVI’s transition from world map to area is a second-long black screen. It’s a world of difference from last generation. Nearly two minutes, to a quarter of that, is not mininal. Loading time improvements quickly add up.

PS5 versions of PS4 games consistently look and perform far better. Again, the jump between Forbidden West on PS4 and PS5 is night and day. I’ve seen both versions, and I’ve seen plenty of footage. They’re easily distingushable. The PS5 is literally the PS4 Pro’s graphics at a locked 60FPS.

Yes, the PS5 is disappointing–but stop fucking lying.

What if they made a good game after the PS2 era /s

Finally, a game I can actually look forward to playing.

This is a complete tonal change. Absolutely agree that it’s worse looking.

We already know of this. It’s an MMO.

I don’t care if it’s free, take that shit out the game

Wow, that’s… crunchy.

Yeah, but it’s Ahoy, so it’s much cooler

I would buy an Xbox if it was essentially a Steam Deck with no screen, but better hardware. Then again, it wouldn’t support Linux, so…

A really, really bad one, at that.

Ever? Maybe within the Final Fantasy series (VI, IX, X, XII and XVI are all much better, even IV, V, and XV by some standards), but ever?

I have a set of Hifiman HE1000s. A little overkill, but damn, Tetris Effect is so fun to play with these headphones.

On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, the Koss KSC75 are a favourite since they’re compact, comfy, and sound great. Also, $20. Can’t go wrong. Great for pretty much anything with a headphone jack, like the portable audio players that everyone has in their pocket nowadays, haha! Yeah.

Or Startpage. Mojeek. Searx. Qwant. The lot…

It may also be for aesthetics. Some people like 30FPS for a more cinematic appearance, while some prefer 60FPS, or even 120FPS. Choices are good.

Yes, we Final Fantasy XII fans exist. There’s like, two of us. This is great!

Tetris Effect: Connected

That’s bizarrely specific but cool

I’ve been supporting Wikipedia with a monthly $5 donation. By now, ~$150 in total! I want to support all kinds of great projects, but I don’t have an infinite amount of money to share between everything that exists 😔

I might switch to a monthly donation to The Internet Archive just because of how crucial its existence is.

That’s cool and all, and I’m a huge fan of LEGO games and Horizon, but, eh?

For me, XVI is the most narratively impressive game I’ve ever played.

Finally someone else gets it

I really like the DualSense, Xbox Duke and Wii U gamepad. Two oddballs. The Wii U gamepad is nice and large, and the Duke is… nice and large.

Vengeance is basically a huge DLC from what I understand. It also has new QoL features. Great for people like me who have more modern consoles than the Switch, and want to get into the series for the first time.

Too busy advertising Foamstars 😔😔😔

I thought everyone forgot this existed. Apparently not.

Yeah, I have Nestle marked as “die before using their products”.

Honestly, Horizon’s devs are stellar. Fantastic games, fantastic optimisation, this example of future-proofing, especially the memorials they added for team members that passed, all add up to a developer I respect a lot. Shame that not everyone is like this.

400 hour game across maybe 5 discs sounds reasonable enough

If I can play Final Fantasy XVI at a stable 60FPS, then I’m happy.

Cyberpunk 2077 on floppy disk is actually pretty funny

Why would it be Epic exclusive? It’s not even made in Unreal Engine.

My (obviously factual) list:

1. XVI (Cancelled immediately)
2. XII (Double cancelled)
3. IX (Redemption)
4. XV (Nvm ultra-cancelled)
5. VI
6. X
7. V
8. VII (Crucifixion)
9. IV
10. III
11. II
12. I
13. VIII (Goated OST)

Never played XIII. I do have a Japanese PS3 copy, and I intend to play that when I have some knowledge of the language. Good practice.

Pokémon Legends VII Remake

I just bought a PS5 because I’ve never had a PlayStation. It’s great that it’s basically a PS4 as well, but they’re really failing to get new customers.

Wold <<<<<<<<<<3333333333

But an Okami remake would be nice, too. So would not releasing patches of games with DRM.
