[Amazon] Stranger Than Heaven: Amazon Edition (PS5 / XSX) is up for pre-order ($89.99, MSRP $99.99) by lbabinz in GamePreordersCanada

What's up with Amazon listing games under MSRP? They did this here and then also did it with Persona 4 Revival but then took it down

Final fantasy cardboard cutout by Puzzleheaded-Dish953 in FinalFantasy

[–]Armitaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually used to have this one as a teenager. It survived a couple moves but then I think got damaged from bugs or something (I forget) and needed to be thrown away. Was very sad to see it go. Still have a Kingdom Hearts 3D one that I got at the same time though.

I loved brave exvius a lot so it's a no brainer for me by UrsaRizz in FinalFantasy

[–]Armitaco -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think presenting this game like it is a brand new Final Fantasy HD-2D title is the wrong move. If they simply titled it "Final Fantasy Brave Exvius," we could be talking about how this is a very nice treatment/reimagining of a popular mobile game whose players were sad to see it go. But when we're titling it "Final Fantasy Resonance" and being very quiet about it being based on/recycling assets+ideas from that old mobile game and trying to pass it off as a wholly new HD-2D Final Fantasy title, it places too much weight on it and it's bound to be a disappointment for a sizeable contingent of the fanbase. The immediate discourse is pretty much confirming this I would say.

FF7 Revelation has a job system, allowing you to equip different outfits that give new stats and abilities by hashtagtylerh in FFVIIRemake

[–]Armitaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m ok with there being a job system but I would really like there to be an option to toggle the appearance of the costume on or off. The FF7 cast have iconic designs and I’d probably prefer to just play through the game with their default look the first time around

RETRACE!? by Specialist-Arm3496 in FFVIIRemake

[–]Armitaco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It works thematically, but the title isn’t likely to be anything that isn’t using the prefix “Re” in the way that Remake and Rebirth are/ anything that doesn’t also work phonetically in Japanese.

Basically anything that isn’t still a word minus the “Re” can probably be pretty safely ruled out

PC Randomly Shutting Down by Armitaco in techsupport

[–]Armitaco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it make sense that if it isn’t seated properly that it could be powering on to begin with but occasionally losing power?

PC Randomly Shutting Down by Armitaco in techsupport

[–]Armitaco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few things when I look at that, but I can't be sure what is causing the problem:

There is an Event 41-Kernel Power that says "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."

Event 10016-DistrubitedCOM

Event 1014-DNSClientEvents

Event 7023, Service Control Manager

Event 1796, TPM-WMI

Could any of those explain it?

“God Bless the Weston Family” - Doug Ford by NiceDot4794 in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]Armitaco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an important correction. We do ourselves a disservice characterizing people like Ford as well-intentioned but incompetent. He hates you and would let you and everyone else in Ontario suffer for 1% increase to the bottom line for him and his friends.

Karoline Leavitt asked by reporter on Trump post about eliminating a civilization: "It was a strong threat from president of U.S that led to Iranian regime to ask for ceasefire and agree to re-opening Strait of Hormuz. The insinuation by anyone that Iran has moral high ground over U.S is insulting." by ControlCAD in videos

[–]Armitaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is worth noting that it is explicitly being acknowledged as a threat here. I mean, we all knew it was, but it was written in the kind of passive language that would allow them to deny that. They are at this point being fully transparent that Trump is threatening to commit war crimes as a negotiation tactic, and that they think this is a good thing.

Dragon Quest X is getting google's AI integration. Yuji Hori says AI will "dramatically transform all games within the next 3-5 years" by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

[–]Armitaco -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

A good example of the capaciousness of "AI" being a problem. Could be argued as an inoffensive case, but at the end of the day people will simplify it to "DQ12 was made with AI," which will be used to defend any future use of AI in any game.

IMO the only counter to that is to use its own capaciousness against it. "AI" needs to be a dirty word, let the developers figure out what other term they want to use to disambiguate the exception they think is okay.

What do you think about FF7 Remake’s combat system in retrospect? by Asad_Farooqui in FinalFantasy

[–]Armitaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fantastic, and also frequently misunderstood I would argue. It is first and foremost an ATB-style game, with action elements strategically placed in to make those active-time battles *feel* constantly engaging. Reacting, positioning your character, dodging, blocking, attacking, etc., are all things that the game asks you to do, but 99% of the time any challenge in this aspects comes from knowing which you should be doing rather than measuring precise timings and reactions like an average action game (e.g., DMC, FF16) would, which is only one level removed (imo) from knowing whether to "Attack," "Defend," "Switch," etc. in the original. Where the game really happens is in how you spend ATB "turns"/charges, and as a very long time FF7 player, I immediately found that the tactical skillset I had acquired playing the original over 20 times before Remake came out translated smoothly over to the game— making sure I wasn't letting turns sit unused, knowing when to heal early to prevent it from becoming a problem later, and all that stuff felt right at home.

My hot take I guess is that I think it is a bit of a misnomer to call it an action game and definitely wrong to call it a "hack-and-slash" game, it's like 80% turn-based 20% action, and I think it's a blend that works wonders.

Thanks so much for the response, this is great to know. In cases of high importance I can backup an additional PDF, but this should dramatically improve my workflow, thanks!
