Why? Anybody who’s played it knows it only has a passing resemblance to Pokémon. Once you play the game, you realize how different it is in its mechanics and story from pokemon.

Nintendo doesn’t own the idea of monster taming. The idea predates their company by quite a bit actually.

Yes there absolutely was, probably actually before windows 95. But even in 95 there were a lot of crappy ascii art games bcz there wasn’t anything better technologically, so nobody would actually call it crappy.

What’s your point? The game isnt my cup of tea. That’s all I was saying. If you like it, thats fine.

Same, I could play it if it was like nes pixel art even. But this looks like it was developed on windows 95 when only ascii art was available.

And the constant text updating you on what is around you bcz the graphics are so primitive.

Based on the description I thought it would be really interesting. But after watching a YouTube video, I was like, eehhhhh, not for me.

Why would you phrase workers rights that way? Its like people have been brainwashed into thinking anything good for everyone, we have to come up with a word for it to make it sound awful…its propaganda 101, and you’ve either bought into it, or youre a bad actor. Either way, fuck off.

This is literally what the CHIP act was for… these fucking clowns.

I mean, its not a terrible game. I just really wish they would have stuck to the original story. If you havent played the original, thats probably a good thing when playing the remake bcz then you don’t have a comparison.

God I hate this timeline. I feel like we just cant catch a break…the entire world is on-fire, and instead of facing that headon, we are ignoring it and focusing on trivial issues to hide our incompetence.

The collapse is coming because we chose this. Just to be clear, a collapse was not inevitable, we decided we wanted that instead of a habitable world for our grandchildren.

Yeah, depending on where you say this people will absolutely rail you for it. I dont understand why people are accepting of this crap.

Final Fantasy Remake Part 1

They changed the story and introduced Whispers to the game, something about Fate trying to drive the story the way its supposed to be. Then they made Sephiroth the final boss of what is now known to be a trilogy (bcz money)…

My absolute favorite game got ruined bcz they decided they needed to “shake the game up”. And now part 2 “Rebirth” is some multiverse bullshit.

I hate everything about this corporate BS they turned the remake into. But, I have to live with it bcz its not my game.

Best I could do is buy rebirth used from game stop so Square Enix didnt get any of my money.

Instead, I play the original from time to time, and I have to try to block out the remake changes they have made.

The franchise was so successful, that Square Enix made idiotic spinoffs and added characters to iconic scenes who weren’t there. They’ve just completely ruined the original game with how much they’ve milked the franchise. Its tragic to me, and not many people care that much.

I really wanted a remake that made the changes that were necessary to play to a modern audience, clear up the confusing story points more fleshed out so they were direct, and maybe changed up a boss or two. Basically I wanted the same thing they did with Resident Evil 4 remake, but instead we got a garbage trilogy.

I hope Nintendo dies a slow painful death…wishful thinking, but maybe with their shit policies it will eventually catch up to them. Not today I guess…

Wow, I might actually have to stop using itch.io, is nowhere safe from the craziest anymore? I dont even make NSFW games, but bending the knee to dickheads over some overtly religious bullshit isnt gonna work for me.

What the fuck are you even talking about? I cant tell if youre defending this shit, or having some weird view where you think youre against it. Either way, eww.

Don’t even joke about that Bloodborne 2 will never be made. People have lost all hope on that front. Giving people hope, any at all is just cruel.

Yeah, I hated the multiverse thing. I do think they did a better job of showing that cloud is having a mental breakdown. The fact that he could see Aerith when nobody else could really made the mental breakdown stuff so much more clear than it was in the original. I’ll be playing the final game, but I didnt give Square Enix my money on part 2, gotta voice my displeasure of the unnecessary story changes somehow. We’ll see how bad they flub the last one and if its actually worth buying from Square directly, or if I’ll find a used copy months after release again.

I didnt like part 1 bcz it had so many story changes. The whisps really made me irrationally angry. The forced story changes into the game for no reason. Im not even bothered by the extra fluff about the side characters that wasn’t in the original. But there are so many fundamental story changes, and then you meet Sephiroth as the final boss?! There’s nowhere to go from there, you’ve revealed the big bad guy already, and not in a logical flowing progression like you should. I do get the linearity of the first one tho. That did make the game easier to get through.

Im kinda of surprised you dont like rebirth. I thought part 1 fell kind of flat, and I hated the story changes. But, the second one is at least entertaining in its own right even if sometimes the story changes suck.

Focusing on the important issues…

It absolutely is. I’m not denying that.

Yes, but the game industry has faced severe layoffs the last couple years while profits soar ever higher and higher and executives get bigger boats. So it’s relevant.

Play them in order, you get more story out of it that way. I promise it will be worth it! BoTW is a master piece, and somehow they topped it with ToTK

Well, turns out people need to feed their families, keep a roof over their heads, and games are hard. 300k isn’t a lot of money to actually keep the lights on at a studio. Also keep in mind, depending on the tools you use, you could end up giving a portion of your game sales to the engine dev, then on top of that you have steam who wants a 30% cut for selling your game on their store. That’s maybe 50-55% left after all that depending on other bills and sales to fund anything after profits are left over.

Its beautiful <3

Why are people still on Facebook anyway?

Since when is flying on a monster patentable. What a bunch of bullshit. Nintendo has really used up the last of any good will the company had. I will not be giving them a dime from here on out.

Yeah, I read up on it a bit after making this comment. Kinda crazy that they were able to get Unreal graphics to render as the so called “front-end”. Definitely can’t do that out of the box.

That doesn’t make any sense.

Edit: you can downvote me all you want. That’s not how game engines work.

Can we stop flooding the game sub with these posts? I’m tired of seeing them.

Now i want to try the game

Pretty sure you can drop the ‘until I forgot’ part.

Oh no… anyways.

Windows 11 deserves to die in a dumpster fire.

How do you suppose you have a live conversation on lemmy? And don’t say make a post, and then talk in the post. Lemmy is not set up for the type of communities we want, otherwise people would already be using it for that.

What exactly would you be breaking up? Steam isn’t a mishmash of companies…

If it was weekly I wouldnt mind. It’s every day…

I wish you would forget. I’m tired of down voting these stupid posts.

The weird multiverse story changes to ff7 remake are hot garbage that nobody asked for.

Turns out pushing out really high quality games, and then pushing out crap makes people not wanna buy the crap. Your name only carries you so far. But, the executives responsible for this shit will just close up the studio, run away with a golden parachute to the next company they’re planning on ruining.

How does that work exactly? You can’t retroactively sue someone over a patent before it was granted… in fact, once you realize the mechanic was already out there, and patent shouldn’t be granted at all.
