We wore out a third party PS1 controller on Tony Hawk 2

Yepppppp

I've been playing exclusively in Jappo, can't do the English voice acting

Final Fantasy VII Remake. Beat it once, did most of the post-game stuff except for two things, now playing Hard Mode.

Upon replay, Chapter 1 might be one of the GOAT video game intro sequences

Aight, done everything except the final VR and Simulator fights, I'ma do those last and start Hard Mode. Gonna do it as a no-skip playthrough to re-watch the story and maybe slow down a little to take in background character conversations. If I can't end up beating it than no biggie/saves me some frustration with the final two fights I'm saving for last

A pretty good spoilercast, holy shit @ some of this x_x :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| I don't like the sound of that

FInished off a bunch of post-game stuff today

Oye, I'm not competitive about it or anything, I just like seeing what people have done and/or are doing atm

Sent. I trophy-stalk and see what people on my friends list have done when I start new games

@Psycho666Soldier What's your PSN?

1. Lester Black 2. Nia Jax 3. Braun 4. Droo 5. Bayley 6. New Day B1. Women's B2. No B3. No B4. Not Revealed B5. No

I think this is my 5th or 6th time playing through Chapter 9 :|

End game stuff 8.7/10, 1 full point off for the Boss Battle Stagger thing and .3 for some of the filler/remake changes not working as well, especially near the endgame. 10/10 graphics and music tho Now for endgame materia training and then Hard Mode

Does that mirroring also include loving the SHIT out of the motorcycle minigame, hoping there's more of it shoehorned into the future released and/or and even wanting a standalone release based on it?

I think OG Shinra HQ has a firm leg up on the new one.

Not only that, but there's rumours that apparently they're going to also release the Series S, a cheaper/lower-powered version of the Series X to replace the One S/One X so Grandma won't have a meltdown at Wal-Mart when she goes to pick up the new XBox for her grandson and is faced with a wall that reads "XBox One X, Xbox One S, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S" all in the same display.

Scorn looks like it took all the spooky parts of Alien movies and made it worse, NOPE Chorvs/Chorus looks cool as fuck Nintendo Direct-style is the perfect way to use a celeb/athlete, no live-crowd awkwardness >The Medium >"Hi, we're working with a dude best known for Silent Hill" NOPE >Scarlet Nexus Looks like what little I know of Control mixed with anime bullshit, so it looks cool as fuck >Yakuza YOSHHHH, making sure to make a point that "we have Japanese games too, guys, honest" I dunno if it'll carve out a better spot for Xbox this generation, but the Smart Delivery/forwards-and-backwards compatible thing is probs the coolest pro-consumer thing Xbox has spearheaded and it's about time something like that exists.

Despite sounding like a bitch, I am actually enjoying my time with the game I think they got the big stuff mostly right and there's a lot of small things that create aggravations that with a slight tweak or two would be done right. And there's just kind of no escaping that they took a 5-6 hour segment of the original game and jammed it full of extension filler and anime filler to bump it up to 30-40ish (I really liked some of it), so on the one hand it really fleshes out that part of the game and the characters involved and on the other, the main story is metered out as a reward for navigating all that padding.

I'd be down for a Chapter 14 style game.

Fucking graphicssssss man, just hit the I feel like they'll keep the linearity going more than they won't.

There is a Classic Mode that actually does let you play that way I think. Also I'm playing on Normal Mode so those little battle system aggravations are probably more pronounced than on Classic and Easy mode

It's mostly super linear the way XIII was, but has nice little hub areas you can sidequest in like XIII-2 did, and has implemented and expanded LR's battle system, which was action-RPGish, it still used ATB bars that you had to save up but you can maneuver around the battlefield while doing shit. It's mostly a good thing but with some frustrations. There's times where you can see some treasure chest or something but the game forces you to walk in another direction to see a cutscene first and they botched the stagger system in boss battles mightily Staggering = you hit enemies and a bar fills up, if you hit them with their weaknesses it fills up faster, if it fills up all the way they're "staggered", they fall over and you can beat on them for a limited time without them doing anything until they recover. A major gripe I have with the game is that during most boss battles I've encountered so far, there's at least one point in each battle (usually around the 50% health point) where the boss takes a new form or changes tactics and drains the accumulated stagger bar to zero, which is aggravating as shit.

This game is Final Fantasy XIII-4, which means the Final Fantasy XIII series is either heavily underrated/ahead of its time or Final Fantasy 7 fanboys will slurp up anything with FF7 in it that they would otherwise proclaim to hate

I had that happen to me on the first fight with Reno. I did like a sliver of damage and lost out on a lot more. It's dumb as fuck, why teach us the skills to use this battle system and then remove it when we most need to take advantage of it? If the bosses die too quickly, just add more HP like the XIII games did
