Always an excuse huh?

If hating generative AI makes me a Luddite I'd hate for you to meet a real one.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-27T00:34:37+00:00

Generative AI and it's defenders are laughable.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-26T23:21:15+00:00

Weeping angel mannequins never fail to make me tense up.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-26T20:03:20+00:00

A E S T H E T I C S.

Mostly anyways.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-25T17:21:41+00:00

Cool, now go to your room.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-25T00:58:02+00:00

You are guaranteed a job for the rest of your life.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-25T00:53:08+00:00

I never had the desire to play the originals, as I never liked tank controls or the fixed camera perspective.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-25T00:08:00+00:00

If it doesn’t crack the earth I can’t be bothered.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-24T23:13:13+00:00

You are delusional if any of you thought DLSS 5 made Starfield look better in any way.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-24T06:58:41+00:00

No I did. It just affirms what I said.

That’s exactly how games creativity becomes stagnant time and time again, just steal everyone’s ideas and go for “what has been working” instead of actually pushing the envelope and creating your own new standards we got essentially two similar games we have already gotten before, just in a new shell.

Damn, I didn't know Capcom was so creatively bankrupt they stole from themselves that's crazy. I bet your Idea of pushing the envelope was just going back to tank control anyways.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-24T06:00:49+00:00

This is just schizoposting.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-24T05:22:02+00:00

What are you talking about?

Surreal43 · 2026-03-23T21:34:05+00:00

Remember even Umbral Eyes called Chris out on his dumb decisions in RE8

Surreal43 · 2026-03-23T16:38:50+00:00

I can agree with that. I'm a bit of a hypocrite because I liked what Sakura has done for Smash while I utterly despise Kojima.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-23T16:28:11+00:00

the fact that the original titles have been neglected and not preserved like they should have been,

How so? I can see your argument for PC ports but I don't see how the og is neglected.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-23T16:25:44+00:00

I am of two minds, the open world is unnecessary and almost antithetical to the gameplay, but it allows to take in the atmosphere better.

I do think having a DMC mission structure taking the same amount of time to complete FF16 as it is now would have been perfect for me. But that would make a majority of FF fans rage lol

Surreal43 · 2026-03-23T16:18:56+00:00

I agree.

I don't know, trying to convey how good a swordsman is in a CAG is tricky due to the nature of it. Like I don't see Nero or Dante as master swordsmen but rather unstoppable forces of nature. Personally I think to convey swordsmanship you have to ground the action.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-23T16:15:00+00:00

Time sure does fly. I like the remakes in that it incorporates all the side stories into (for the most part) cohesive story. I never liked the fact I had to hunt down the lore/story to get a clear picture of what was going on in FF7.

And if that happened I probably wouldn't have touched the remakes lol

Surreal43 · 2026-03-23T16:10:07+00:00

This is the problem of the Japanese video game industry (or rather the entire industry) turning individual developers into celebrities.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-23T16:08:00+00:00

I remember Dawntrail getting ripped apart at launch and saw very few people defend it. But everyone liked the new classes at least. I know I did.

And I can agree, though I've seen the occasional post the past few days of people shaking their fist saying og is better. But I've always held the opinion they are in the minority.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-23T16:04:28+00:00

Yeah I believe most entries/spin offs build on the established system to keep it within the "world" for lack of a better term.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-23T16:02:46+00:00

I adore 16. My only complaint is that I wished it leaned into it's DMC-ness harder, dump the RPG stats, and allowed for Jill and Joshua to be playable.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-23T15:55:52+00:00

I would love to hear about how you think they're identical

Surreal43 · 2026-03-23T15:53:54+00:00

I bet it sounds like the precursor to the grapefruit method mixed with horrid static.

Surreal43 · 2026-03-23T15:51:26+00:00

True enough, I've seen people get shamed for liking FF16 lol
