It’s more comfy in the pants despite the thickness.
Think about how much a thin but big phone sticks out when placed on a cylinder. This has less surface area that’s touching your leg so you barely feel it.
Doom scrolling can still happen on this phone like but it does make certain stuff just make me want to wait till I’m at a computer to do it instead, like shopping and whatnot. So I find that a plus, somewhat.
His opinion on astro bot being purely self fellatio keeps rubbing me the wrong way. Like he saw cameos and feels like that’s the only thing the game has to offer. He never talks about the other merits the game has. Even in him saying it’s his 5th best this year it’s still just a “in spite of all the cameos, it’s still fun”, like he has no idea why it’s fun.
OG FFVII is full of minigames. I don’t think rebirth has more than the OG, also it’s like half of the game not a third (the last disc is just the final dungeon, and the second disc is not as long as the first).
When the OG does a minigame it’s often a one and done thing. Rebirth madness it feel like more because you can go back and do more of each minigame with increasing difficulties etc.
I think subsystems just lend very well to JRPGs because they’re often trying to create a world, and adding such to their games makes their worlds feel more full. I also think the Japanese do their game development different to the west most of the time. Since a lot of these minigames are made because developers have finished the parts of the main game they were working on so they mess around trying to make something new and fun that might be able to be tacked on as an extra.
I’d much rather buy a full game from the get go and have everything available with no time limit on when i need to buy it.
There is no FOMO if you can leave it for years, actually get the game with all dlc cheaper second hand for a couple of quid and still finding a thriving community online that isn’t focused on completing timed challenges for various currencies to get cosmetics you like the look of before they disappear from the store or the deal for the cheaper price runs out.
I’m not playing it at the moment but the most recent one i was actively subscribed to was ffxi. I find that now when I want to pay an MMO I stray away from the wow likes (if i want that style it’s xiv for me though). I like the older ones that use more archaic combat systems because they’re often very unique on a genre where everything now feels very similar.
Also here’s an obligatory “I miss Wildstar”
As a mantis main there’s plenty of times where self healing is just not sufficient at all. All i get is a gaming over time too so remember can easily over power it. And to heal myself I either need to heal or big someone else or big myself which I can only do so often due to to the rate of life orb regen. It is not that hard to kill me if you focus on killing me or separate me from everyone else.
Strange. I really think the fact it’s a hybrid gives it a lot of depth it otherwise wouldn’t have on either end of the spectrum. Remake itself does feel very bare bones compared to rebirth now though. Maybe you’d have more fun out of that.
The only real complaint I have with remakes combat is fighting airborne enemies with characters without ranged. Which rebirth (and intermission) fixes completely
I hard disagree on it being half assed completely. It’s a really good fresh take on party combat in real time that isn’t just ai fighting alongside you whilst also being able to take a breather for actual tactical choices.
I would not want this game to have been action only line kh. Even though I love kh, but that would not have been ff7. And if they just went full turn based then I don’t think It’s have liked it as much. To be they’ve really pioneered a new and really good way of doing combat in an rpg. I want more of this.
Also you describing this combat system as kh-lite makes me feel like you haven’t spent that much time with either these games or kh. They couldn’t be any more different.
I’m not discrediting valve for all the good they’ve done but they’re not holier then thou. And it’s not like I pick epic over steam. I buy on steam way more due to convenience, but I have to also be smart with money at times and just buy where it’s cheapest and take as much free stuff as I can get.
Also “dividing” the pc market is not a bad thing. Why would you want one company with a monopoly? They should have competition, it’s how we get good customer focused values in the products and services we use.
I’m pretty certain it’s latter of my comment. Don’t know what FUD means though
