  • I’m kind of in a different boat with this. I’m paying for quality, not quantity. Especially since I don’t have as much free time as I did 20 years ago.

    So if I can play through a phenomenal story within a couple months over a 20 hour game (which usually takes me 30 hours) at the height of the hype when people are still talking about it, I love it. Give me efficient storytelling.

    In fact, if it’s something longer, it kind makes me rethink it whether I want to pay full price. Why rush?





  • Yeah, Halo Infinite just skips everything that Halo 5 set up. Everything Promethean is over. There are no more Spartan companions (whether any are still alive or not is kind of up in the air). Humans are on the brink of extinction. The whole game is just telling you that’s the new reality. Not really a lot of plot, just world building.



  • I liked the FF8 remaster. The field models are just field models. It’s not like they look like the FMV cutscene character models on the original either. They’re just so distorted that you have to imagine the FMV characters.

    Editing out Siren’s bush was a sin though.

    Edit: Oh, and getting rid of vibration. I had forgot about that until just now. That was 100% the worst part of the remaster. I hope they’re fixing that, because otherwise what’s the point in the demaster?

    Edit 2: Also losing omnidirectional movement since it’s based on the PC port. Same reason there’s no vibration.
