I just restarted Ys Origin! I love that game.

The original Resident Evil 4 was, I believe, the first to change up the format from the fixed camera, among other things it shook up. RE4 and RE4R are very similar games, while the remakes of RE2 and RE3 are pretty different from their originals.

It’s weird that a game can be made after initially being backed by fans and then absolutely slated by those same fans, but I guess the world works in mysterious ways.

How is this weird at all? People hopped on it because they wanted more Megaman by a major creator and contributor to many Megaman games. Turns out, with only one cog in the Megaman machine, a great game does not make.

Perhaps you should have started with that source, then. I just pointed out your other source meant nill.

As for the rest, I haven't downvoted you at all, but my guess on what your personality was like seems to be correct with all the choice buzzwords you spout. Not really a good look for the crusade you're trying to expose, friend.

Your "ousting of Hennig" is hilariously weak, since your sources only source has since backtracked its reports and apologised.

The rest of your comment just reeks too much of buzzwords that I can barely comprehend it, though I tried.

So why is it most viewed? What is it about the preview or marketing that is getting eyes on it? I've never heard of it, save for the banner I keep seeing on the app, but it didn't seem that interesting so I scrolled by.

They had a trailer for Witcher 4 come out recently.

So instead, they just... CGI'd dwarves? How is that any better?

I remember seeing promo or set photos of actual people that still didn't seem much better.

Edit: Ah, this was the image.

Honestly, too much. I'm going to be running a Pathfinder 2e campaign for the first time, so that'll be something.

But I received Into The Odd and The Yellow King RPG for Christmas, so I'd love to run some one-shots in those next year!

I don't think it was very challenging, but the game played without trying to collect everything is around 30 hours, which doesn't seem short to me.

I'm just going to post this comment to this thread as well, since this is newer. Classic shifting of blame and no one taking responsibility for scummy actions.

Fun fact: Funko's current CEO is the ex-president of Wizards of the Coast!

Why is this relevant? Well, under her leadership, WotC sent pinkerton agents to someone's home to threaten them because they got some Magic the Gathering cards early. She said things like Dungeons & Dragons players were under-monetised, pushing to make the Table Top game more like a microtransaction-filled video game, and helped with the OGL scandal.

The OGL, for anyone unfamiliar, was an Open Gaming License WotC had for years with D&D 3rd party creators. It allowed certain things to be created using D&D mechanics and lore by anyone that followed its guidelines and allowances. A couple years ago, WotC tried to change that so they would make more money off of people trying to create things for D&D - to profit off of indie creators passionate about the game. There was a huge backlash, and they eventually went back on this decision.

All this to say, you can see what kind of leader the current Funko CEO is, and what's happening with itch isn't surprising to me.

It's an "active pursuit" which sounds like they have nothing yet. So I doubt it will even be 2 years.

I really love the original movie - it's one of my comfort movies, and ever since this was announced I thought a lot of the magic would be gone. The watercolour backgrounds just really work with the setting.

Stitch just looks like a CGI creature in a real world. I have a hard time believing that thing that I'm seeing exists in that environment, and that's sorta what I figured would happen when they announced this.

I think it might be my favourite of the Ys series, to be honest. So simple and fun.

The latter two are a much more broad and prevalent issue in the gaming industry overall. No need for the whataboutism.

What? All it's saying is not to call 911 for that kind of thing.

Chrono Trigger and both Golden Sun games back to back. I do all of those every few years. Love'em to death.

I'm looking forward to trying out FF9 next. Gonna take a bit of a break, as 45 hours of a FF game are enough for me for the next month or two. I've been going through all the mainline Zelda games as well, just reached Ocarina of Time. So I'll be continuing that until I feel a hankering to go back to FF.

Played and beat Final Fantasy 8 for the first time. Bit of an unpopular opinion, but I enjoyed everything about it more than FF7 (which i also played for the first time a few months ago). As a long time JRPG player, the mechanics were really interesting and fresh. I liked the majority of characters more as well. Maybe it's just the fact that I'm coming to these games 20+ years later and don't have the nostalgia for them - I'm not sure. I can definitely see why people loved FF7, though I'm not one of them.

I'd love anybodies thoughts on this and their opinions on the two games!

Yea, I'm not going to give them any money. Fuck'em.
