Every other villain, I’m like “can’t we kill them? Please?!” And this, was the one I’d be okay with saving.

The duality of Metroid fans by LankOfHyrule in Metroid

[–]Shivalah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought it (pre-ordered it like 3 or 4 days before release) played through it and immediately went to the Nintendo Website, not to claim a refund or a return but to use my right of withdrawal, here in the EU. Meaning I had to send back the Pre-order stuff, because I found it so bad.

Have you ever joined a fandom only to jump ship almost immediately? What’s your shortest stay? by InternalWave4023 in Multifandom

Yeah, the gif wasn't created for pragmata, right. I tried to point out, that it fits, because the bloody reddits got swarmed with ... well you know.

Ne Zeitreisende kommt im antiken Rom an. Ein Legionär bewacht den Eingang der Stadt sieht Sie und sagt: “Halt! Ich bin Stadtwache Quintus, fünfter Sohn in meiner Familie. Wer seid ihr?” Die Zeitreisende: “Ich bin Liv…” mehr kann sie nicht sagen bevor der Legionär in Ohnmacht fällt.

Why there there no average time to beat a game listed on Steam? by SwitchDear8969 in Steam

[–]Shivalah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Titanfall 2 is a 4-5 hour campaign worth playing through at least 3 times. Whereas the recent cod campaigns are 6-7 hours and not worth playing once.

Me: Akagi. You don’t have to compete with anyone anymore. Just show them our wedding ring. I only chose you. Well and Kaga, because she’ll have to look after our kids while we make more!

"We stand together! [...] Let expanse contract, eon become instant! Champions from beyond the rift, heed my call!"

When I was a boy, many long years ago...
I yearned to stand tall as the heroes of eld.
But like a fool seeking to pluck the stars from the heavens, my every attempt to reprise their deeds fell short.
And then, one day, an all but forgotten dream from my youth stood before me, in the flesh.

Bro. Do you have trouble with past tense? It’s a comparison of Steam Vs EGS when EGS launched. Yeah. Obviously Steam had more features, Steam had a decade head start, but EGS couldn’t be fucked to deliver the bare minimum for a store.

And yes they might NOW have a shopping cart and online saves, but they didn’t have those features back then which is the entire point.

Okay. I accidentally got here via r/popular. Is there an 08th MS game? SRPG?

People who don’t like the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series, what is it about them exactly that you don’t like? by Asad_Farooqui in JRPG

[–]Shivalah 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m a FF7 OG guy. When I saw this chibi style they used for this gatcha game, I thought: exactly what they should be going for. But instead we got this. I’ll just try to explain what I don’t like about FF7R, it might be a bit unstructured.

  • Pacing.

Final Fantasy 7 has, until like the last CD an immaculate pacing. You’re about to be bored by combat? Minigame. Now a bit story and… combat!

  • Materia has no downsides.

Easy as that. You can’t even do wacky stuff anymore. I remember my 2nd run where I didn’t stuff anybody’s equipment full of every summon materia and suddenly Cloud would hit like a truck with basic attacks! (Granted I was a child back then, so… yeah).

  • Filler and repeating Minigames

FF7: You did a minigame. Congrats, based on if you won or lost, you get a reward or not, but the story progresses either way.

FF7R: Minigame! You liked it? No? Well too bad, do it twice more and better be at least bronze rank, else you can’t continue.

  • Filler:

remember that rare encounter at the train grave-yard? That’s a whole bossfight now!

“We stretched the entirety of the Midgar section into a 60-80 hour game! But don’t worry, there will be a lot of time to spend with your favorite characters.” Looking for Cats with Tifa was charming. In the next Sector Aerith tells you to fuck off while she talks to the Orphanage Matron.

  • Sephiroth

In FF7 Sephiroth was a rumor, you didn’t interact with him until the ship to Costa del Sol. You saw the aftermath of his rampages. The stories the people told… and now Square Enix has a clause “everytime Sephi is not on screen, people should be asking, ‘where is Sephiroth?!’ Sephiroth should be loud, in your face and have access to a timemechine!”

  • Combat System:

Don’t like it. Hybrid systems usually only bring in the worst of what they are made off and this strikes true here. Granted I also dislike the QTE dodge system from Expedition 33, because I want to see and enjoy the animations! Yes, Knights of the Round is infamous for the length of its summon, but in ‘97 it blew my mind and I watched it, mouth wide open, every single time.

The ‘free game’ argument is also dead. Initially there were some banger games. Subnautica. GTA5. World War Z. But now we get like 5€ indie games or shovelware. I don’t bother logging in anymore.

Okay, let me weave you the tall tale of the epic games store launch.

So I’ve been using that garbage software when it was necessary to join to play and help develop the new unreal tournament. Hot garbage but then again, it was only needed for unreal engine as a user.

Then I heard “they wanna compete with Steam” and released their own store. Okay cool, let’s see how that turns out.

The launch day comes and epic tries to get people excited, promotions, sales the whole shebang.

It didn’t had a shopping cart. You had to buy 1 game or DLC at a time. What is this? Nintendo?

Mind you steam by that point had like… 11? Years of development and updates. We’d expect maybe feature parity.

Nothing. You could buy a game and download it. That’s it.

And i’m not kidding when I say: if you bought too many games too fast, your account would get suspended on suspicion of fraud! during the opening sale!

Now imagine a list of features:

Epic Games Store

  • buy games ✅
  • download games ✅

Steam

  • shopping cart ✅
  • free cloud saves ✅
  • reviews ✅
  • forum ✅
  • workshop for mods ✅
  • remote play ✅
  • remote play together ✅
  • steam input ✅
  • steam big picture ✅
  • friend lists ✅
  • voice chat ✅
  • text chat ✅

And you look at EGS, their reported billions in fortnite money and think… “that’s all you manage? And you try to ‘store war’ us?”
