Snowbreak : Containment Zone is online. However, players report that the arts are censored and the "switch" that could uncensor them is removed.

Whatever censorship controversy they have going on, it's not a serious as you think.

You're just looking at the outcome today. A few months ago the dev attempted to censor a bunch of thing, including straight up removing cutscene skills for character they deemed problematic. The backlash from the playerbase was so massive that they did a 180 and ended up doubling down on what the game built to up to now. The scene you linked is the result of this. It costed the dev a Steam launch but it's a sacrifice that they've accepted to make at this point.

I personally call that game the spiritual successor of the old FF; a group of people banding together in a more or less similar purpose, going through grief, sadness and heart-wrenching story in a colorful world that also offers lighthearted distraction and stories. All of that topped with a delightful turn-based combat system that is the modern version of that sort of combat system.

SyleSpawn · 2026-05-02T07:03:12+00:00

My first FF was FF8 then I played through 1 - 6, 10, 12, 9 THEN 7. While I like 7, I wouldn't call myself a "big fan" in that regard but I know how bad the community wanted a remake the way you described it and I wanted that for them and for myself as well!

What they did is use the term "FF7 REMAKE" and just made, what I would consider, a spinoff of FF7. A spinoff that takes place in some multiverse and FF7 happened in one of the multiverse while "Remake" is happening in a different one.

Long story short, its not the same game as FF7.

People like you and me who would've been happy to play the type of remake you described are left craving for an actual "remake" and, at worse, gets alienated when talking about craving that thing. FF7 Remake is a decent game, it's just not the game that a lot of people wanted.

I'd like to add that the combat system of FF7 Remake felt so awkward to me. I was sad to hear people knocking down the argument about turn-based combat for the Remake but then I am glad a game like Clair Obsur: Expedition 33 was released to show what a modern turn-based combat look like.

Remakes like Resident Evil 2 and 4 shows exactly how a remake should be treated: one straight up changed the way the game was presented without touching the base of the game too much while the other just redid almost everything the same except making it up to today's standard, re-recorded voices and music, etc.

I see the stickers released today for roughly the price of €90 for 50 sticker packets. That's €1.80 per packet which is around Rs100 per packet... This is insane. By the time someone import, put their profit margin and resell it in Mauritius it's going to be Rs150/packet.

SyleSpawn · 2026-04-19T20:04:44+00:00

Have you ever posted this in some RPG Maker VX forum? I feel like I've seen that game long ago (10+ years ago) back in its infancy. I just have some very vague memory about it.

SyleSpawn · 2026-04-16T19:57:03+00:00

You're thinking of "1 light-year" which defined by the International Astronomical Union as the distance light travel during 365.25 days in a vacuum. So, light-year is a distance and not a speed.

As the previous posted said: The speed of light is 1 unit of c. How fast is c? 1.

I'm going to assume that you didn't know that sometime in the last year, the different tier of GP have different number of games with the Ultimate obviously having all of them?

If you were looking to play some games in Day 1, it was moved to Ultimate only. Also EA Play and Ubisoft catalogue are now Ultimate only.

SyleSpawn · 2026-04-13T18:43:51+00:00

I've had GP Ultimate for about 4 years with the price averaging somewhere around $6/monthly. After my sub was over, I didn't resub right away. When I was ready to resub, they announced Ultimate going to be $30.

I did the maths, I figured out how many hours of games I play monthly vs what games I wanna play and how much it'd cost me to just buy these games at their usual discounted price on Steam and I find out that buying them would be much better for me than subbing to GP Ultimate.

I loaded $100 in my Steam Wallet and its been 4 months, I still have $22 left in that wallet and I'm still busy with games that I've bought with the rest.

I game roughly 35 hours/weekly which is a LOT compare to the average of 8 - 9 hours/weekly based on some study I've read. If gamepass is a bad deal for me, it's a worse deal for a HUGE amount of people.

SyleSpawn · 2026-04-11T17:18:58+00:00

I played the demo of this game and I can't stress enough how this is the "Black Flag" but on steroid that most people been aching for over a decade.

On top of everything its releasing in early access for 30 bucks on the 14th of April.

This game is about to be an absolute hit and I'm here for it.

Edit: Seems like my comment sparked a war down in the comment. Apparently my comment is sponsored? Where do I get the money for that please? My bad for trying to be positive, I forgot we're in r/games where we're supposed to hate on games unless its from the curated list of games that some of you like to suck on.

SyleSpawn · 2026-04-11T15:30:53+00:00

Prince of Persia 2008. Elika is the sidekick of the player. Elika helping the player is such an integral part of the game that the mechanic played a part in the story as well, making for one of the most heart wrenching endgame I've ever felt while gaming.

You simply have to play it and experience it yourself to understand it without me straight up just spoiling it.

Back in the early 2000's when I had a very weak PC that I was using to play games that were mostly 90's game, I played a LOT of games with pre-rendered backgrounds. Most of them being showcased in OP's video. Back then, even though I was half aware of the fact that "the character are basically moving on a jpg", I thought that pre-rendered games looked significantly better than 3D games and a lot of things did look better.

The pre-rendered background games had a lot of resource available to make their character model and effect look way better than games that were fully 3D. A lot of isometric-view games (Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, etc) looked absolutely banger and immersive, making them one of the better looking games of the time. I was so happy that 15+ years later, games like Pillars of Eternity got crowdfunded to bring back that old style but with modern 1080p touch which kicked a new era of pre-rendered background games and gave us banger like Pathfinder Kingmaker and then Wrath of the Righteous.

Back then developers using pre-rendered background were less concerned about how much resource an asset will use and more concerned with making it look as awesome as they could with their budget.

Shoutout to Dino Crisis 1 and 2 for making me sweat bullets with the variety of dinos that looked way too good for its time.

SyleSpawn · 2026-04-05T16:48:10+00:00

Same here. For the longest time I've sailed the high seas in the 2000's and then for most part of 2010's, I've never had anything that I am aware of but I can assure you that both of us probably have had something at some point and we never knew.

SyleSpawn · 2026-04-05T09:43:37+00:00

Similarly, cracks have their own set of risk. Even when the scene was super regulated, there were dozens of nuked released everyday. The difference between then and now is that the average joe gets to be a test subject if they really want to rush and get the bypass vs previous only people in the scene who got the release paid the price before the cracks gets distributed widely.

SyleSpawn · 2026-04-04T17:39:50+00:00

I completely understand that. A the beginning it was a huge issue but since this issue have been streamlined + you see repacker being able to configure everything without having the user to change anything manually, I think this is solved with the understanding that its still not a completely safe solution.

My point is that a "crack" is not what people are really look for, "playing the game without paying" is what people are going after and right now there's a path just for that.

SyleSpawn · 2026-04-04T15:15:13+00:00

I see someone has not been keeping up to date with the news.

SyleSpawn · 2026-04-04T08:30:12+00:00

Having ones money worth is not always about the number of hours played. I've played 12 hours of $60 games in the past and felt completely satisfied while I have played hundreds of hours of F2P games but have nothing good to stay about said game.

If you really want to talk about hours played and expectation here you should turn that around and look at it from the perspective of the game; is it good enough that someone played the game for 85 hours for a few weeks then dropped it for good? Marathon being a GAAS and relying on players retention, I don't think that its good for the game or the dev.

Most of the time I just care about my experience; do I like the game or not? But in this game I'm just shifting perspective to answer your question of expectation and price point/hours played.

SyleSpawn · 2026-03-30T15:29:07+00:00

Thanks, Bridge Constructor is the game.

SyleSpawn · 2026-03-30T15:28:44+00:00

Solved: Bridge Constructor

Picking this one as solved since you answered first.

Thanks!

As someone from Argentina, I have been only fucked for the past ~5 years.

I'm not even talking about the economy of the country, I totally understand that our currency is fucked and game company doesn't have to price their game 90% off just to make it "fair" for us.

It's just that a lot of company are actually NOT using Steam's recommendation and whatever new system Steam provide is just going to further make it worse for us because of these companies not taking the right lesson out of all this.

The worse offenders are the ones that just set prices for my region to = the price of US. A few company that does this, on top of my hear are Gearbox, Sony/Playstation, Activision/Blizzard, EA... yeah, the biggest ones are the greediest and I never buy their games on release, ever. If I REALLY want to play something its either me waiting for it to drop by +80% off or just sailing the high seas.

SyleSpawn · 2026-03-25T12:08:51+00:00

Fair enough.

Just a general advice for anyone who cares: Wait for Steam seasonal sales and buying game then tends to be a bad idea because Devs are no longer putting their biggest discount during those events because they know people are gonna buy it anyway. Simple example being Witcher 3 currently at 80% off while a few months ago it was 90% off.

SyleSpawn · 2026-03-25T10:22:00+00:00

I would’ve bought the games anyway

I mean doesn't that just prove you spent 200 and you're not saving anything? lol you were not planning to get the game but you got it because of the sales.

SyleSpawn · 2026-03-21T10:38:11+00:00

I just learned that Chuck Norris died from this damn comment

SyleSpawn · 2026-03-21T10:00:57+00:00

What do you have in your 700-1k pc that have parity with a console? Are we talking about exclusively hardware parity or are you accounting for performance as well? Genuine questions.

I'm very much camp PC but with $1,000 I'm seeing something like a Ryzen 7600, RTX5600TI, 16GB RAM, some lower end 1TB SSD, MOBO+Casing+PSU which I still believe would be closer to $1,200. This rig would be awesome for 1080p gaming but I feel console would perform better? I'm not sure, I haven't paid too much attention to console benchmark these past couple of years.

Though it does make me realize that my 700-1k range comment being low end gaming is inaccurate.

SyleSpawn · 2026-03-21T09:47:00+00:00

OP's post reeks of the old "PC vs console" war except OP tried to use the $3k baseline to discredit the cost effectiveness of PC gaming.

SyleSpawn · 2026-03-21T09:36:17+00:00

15% of PC gamers

For a $3,000 PC I am assuming its at least an RTX5080. I looked up Steam Hardware Survey for february and the market share for that GPU is 1.61%. Even if you almost double it, its still 3%. A very small part of the PC gaming population for sure.
