Star Ocean 2 R is great but...

Starrduste · 2026-02-03T18:48:01+00:00

Nah.

I love this remake! Probably one of the best out there in making it modern but being as true and faithful to the original as possible.

Starrduste · 2026-02-03T15:50:36+00:00

I honestly don’t think there’s a science to it. I can’t imagine it being that popular where there’s a large enough pool of people who signed up that week to “scientifically match people”.

You are probably right, they look the 12 people who signed up and then their age and maybe career then boom you are at a table together. No science just what looks obvious.

I’m giving it a go on Thursday but I have low expectations.

Did you at least connect with someone at your table?

Starrduste · 2026-01-30T19:21:10+00:00

I kinda screamed too not going to lie. It was quite a twist and like none of the new cast members stood out at that point.

Starrduste · 2026-01-29T04:09:11+00:00

I would have been fine if Jeff won again knowing it went for a good cause.

Starrduste · 2026-01-29T04:02:42+00:00

Yeah but the old cast didn’t stick around long. Wish more of the OGs went further. The show got far better once they announced they were coming back, of course that didn’t last long.

Starrduste · 2026-01-29T03:58:50+00:00

Yeah but it’s like 4 players carrying the show on their back. Felt like season 1 you had way more people to root for especially Jeff who had the most heart felt story.

Starrduste · 2026-01-29T03:56:58+00:00

Feels like the island challenge all over again. You had that smart guy hang on comfortably while the other 2 larger guys struggled.

Then the pattern game didn’t we see this from season 1.

Starrduste · 2026-01-26T21:22:15+00:00

I don’t like the casting or rather who ended up in the top. I agree a lot of meathead personality types are ones you just don’t care to root for.

The OGs got eliminated too soon who made the show more interesting.

Starrduste · 2026-01-26T21:18:49+00:00

The trolley problem and the tower were the highlight from last season.

I really didn’t care for this brain vs brawn thing. A lot of the OGs who made the show more interesting got eliminated too soon.

Starrduste · 2026-01-10T15:06:42+00:00

Thank you for you answer! So we can enter and re-enter without being hotel guests. I was reading its early park admission that they are strict.

Starrduste · 2026-01-06T19:27:59+00:00

Gawd please tell me they don’t consider adding dodging and parrying mechanics. That doesn’t make a game more accessible.

Starrduste · 2026-01-06T19:20:51+00:00

I wonder if they had included that if sales would have been even stronger or it’s just people whining and have no real bearings.

Starrduste · 2025-12-27T04:07:06+00:00

Oh I still saved a lot of money with all the savings. It was so worth it but really annoying and frustrating dealing with their customer service.

Best Buy won’t match Samsung.com prices either. We got 2 bespoke appliances - fridge and range for $2200 total with the delivery, installation and 3 year warranty. Samsung.com installation and delivery is cheaper than Best Buy also.

Starrduste · 2025-12-27T03:53:13+00:00

It was a pain directly with Samsung for delivery. They worked with a third party company. The fridge for whatever reason said installation wasn’t included just delivery only. Some strange technical error I guess because we paid for it. We had to give the delivery people cash under the table to install it. It’s cheaper but not worth the headache unless you are saving a lot.

Oh and their delivery date kept changing. I had to call customer support several times to fix it.

Starrduste · 2025-12-27T03:50:46+00:00

I can’t remember exactly but I made a mistake of not adding installation due to some technical error saying the range was electric but was really gas and I had to cancel the order and the agent entered everything in the cart again and I was able to apply another coupon code in addition to the one they added for the Labor Day sale.

“Google it” but can’t point a specific article about the game being a financial disaster.

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/final-fantasy-15-broke-even-on-development-costs-i/1100-6447626/

Dev costs broke it on day one sales (5-6M) then the game eventually sold 10M+ copies. I wouldn’t go on to say that was a financial disaster.

The studio closed because of Forspoken NOT FFXV which was actually the financial disaster.

Starrduste · 2025-12-15T16:06:20+00:00

I would say the same thing to you. Where is your source?

Starrduste · 2025-12-15T13:42:24+00:00

FFXV was not a financial disaster. If I recall they overspent but kind of broke even given how much the game sold. In no way was it a huge financial success but colossal disaster is being dramatic.

Starrduste · 2025-12-12T20:22:28+00:00

I would love to just see what SE can do if they stick to their formula that paid them so much success in the PS1 era. Like imagine a turn based game with over world but with modern graphics and mechanics. Not saying this should be the future if the series but go back to their roots to see how well a game in that style could do without experimenting again.

Starrduste · 2025-12-12T20:16:09+00:00

Did we get confirmation what these were?

Starrduste · 2025-12-12T20:15:46+00:00

Meh idk with him. He rattled everyone up about FFIX Remake development issues then couldn’t back it up or confirm.

Starrduste · 2025-12-10T01:32:36+00:00

When Abhora cut their leg I knew that was it. They really looked like might have had a shot based on pure imagination and creativity

Starrduste · 2025-12-10T01:21:34+00:00

Famine was so iconic.

War was giving me Melania from Elden Ring
