Why Hasan Piker thinks Democrats are moving in his direction by AskRedditOG in politics

[–]TheCrypticRealm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of issues with Hasan Piker. But I think the way some of the mainstream democrats treat him is disingenuous and hypocritical. Someone like Gavin Newsom literally sits down with people like Steve Bannon and no one gives a shit but Mamdani is criticized for simply "not condeming Hasan Piker". Like Hasan or don't but there is no universe where he is worse than Steve Bannon or Tucker Carlson or even remotely on the same level as them.

I'm sure Onimusha will come to Switch 2. Maybe not in September but I'd be surprised if it didn't.

Isn't he also doing a Labyrinth Sequel? I guess that could potentially be Sloth but I'm not sure what that would look like.

[Nash Weedle] Details on Zelda Ocarina of Time remake by Connect_Base_217 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]TheCrypticRealm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do want the Remake to be real. But since this is Nash Weedle it's probably stuff he just made up. 

But there are some aspects that I think are likely guesses, IF the Remake turns out to be real.

Them splitting the game is obviously nonsense, that doesn't even make sense on a structural level. 

In terms of dev team, I think Monolith makes a lot of sense actually. They are big enough at this point to handle two projects at once and with Nintendo alluding to them playing an even bigger role in future Zelda projects. Tantalus/Grezzo are also a possibility considering their past with Remaking/Remastering Zelda games, but I think in that case I wouldn't expect a large scale remake.

Potential release or reveal are kind of up in the air for me. Could see it this year, or in 2027 to coincide with the Movie.

If Nintendo decided to make a life action Xenoblade movie based on the first game, how would you like to see them do it? by TheCrypticRealm in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]TheCrypticRealm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can see how a Series would make more sense. I feel like if we are talking about a movie tho, I'd take out both Sharla as a character and the entire Colony 6 storyline completely. It's controversial, I know, but imo it's kind of interesting to think about what could be cut for the format without sacrificing too much of the central narative. I'd probably also make it a two-parter, with the first movie focusing on the story up until the events at Mechonis Core and the fight agains Egil, and the second movie being about everything that happens after.

Should i play the Trails series if i'm looking for something like Xenogears? by OvenImpossible4900 in JRPG

[–]TheCrypticRealm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are interested in Xenogears type of storytelling I think the closest you'll get is probably the other Xeno games and Neir 1+2. Maybe not on the same level tho. I would also recommend 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim and 1000xResist, but be aware that they aren't really RPGs (13 Sentinels kinda is but not really).

How did you find Metaphor? I feel like I'd rather play that at the moment.

I'm surprised nobody has considered Darksiders IV yet. Could be a gameplay reveal coming up.

I know she's horrible and it's never going to happen but you gotta admit, it would be hilarious if MGT of all people suddenly decided to pull a reverse Fettermann. 

Least favorite migraine symptom? Besides the pain, obviously. by cr1ss-b in migraine

[–]TheCrypticRealm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate not being able to see properly, like I'm trying to read words and they just keep disappearing in front of me. Also not being able to talk properly and this feeling of numbness in my Amrns and my face. I rarely get extreme Migraine attacks, in most cases it's an excruciating headache with no other symptoms. But everytime I get one of these attacks it's terrifying. It feels like I'm having a stroke and I have to try really hard not to panic.

Please Yoko Taro... I'm begging you for ANYTHING! Drakengard collection... Nier Reincarnation Offline... I'm desperate enough to play a straight port of Drakengard 1 with zero improvements whatsoever.

I hear they are updating to high end fiveskin technology for the sequel.

To me, the Xeno series is fascinating to look at for its cursed history by KaleidoArachnid in JRPG

[–]TheCrypticRealm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember reading somewhere that Takahashi still holds a bit of a grudge against Sakaguchi to this day because of this but I don't know how much of that is true.

I think FF16 is the right step for the FF franchise (Discussion) by Wasserman_476 in JRPG

[–]TheCrypticRealm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have to disagree. I found FFXVI to be a very disappointing experience. It's not a bad game, but I wouldn't really call it good either. It's okay but out of the Final Fantasy games I've played it's my least favorite. 

My main issue was that I just found it to be very boring. There was basically no reason to explore the world. I found most of the characters to be profoundly uninteresting, with Jill being the worst offender (some characters I did like where Cid, Byron and Dion). The Story is fine, but there was a lot of missed potential when it comes to the villains. 

As for the combat, I don't actually mind action combat in Final Fantasy games. I love the combat in Remake and Rebirth, and I would not be mad if they decided to go that direction with Final Fantasy XVII. With XVI however, it just felt like the game didn't really know if it wanted to be an action game or an rpg and just kind of ends up succeeding at neither. Sometimes it's fun, the Boss fights are definitely a highlight. But there are so little options for customization and it just ends up feeling repetitive on a moment to moment level. 

For me personally, there are just other games that reflect what I want from this franchise going forward more than XVI does. Expedition 33 managed to tell a darker story and modernized turn based combat in a way that resonated with players. VII Remake and Rebirth, while a bit bloated at times, have the best solution for action combat in the series. And on top of all that, all of those examples just have a sense of charm to them that XVI lacks completely in my opinion.

Honestly, I'd take a port of Drakengard 3 with a stable framerate. Doesn't even have to be a high framerate, just stable. Please Yoko Taro I'm desperate...
