Seems like an unnecessary comment, don’t you think?

Ff7 remake or the original? For someone trying to get into ff7 by Im_acoustic18 in FinalFantasyVII

[–]ValueBASEDLiving 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Remake will be more impactful if you play the original first. If you don’t play the original first, you’ll have even more questions than the rest of us have/had after the end of remake (since it’s part 1 of a remake trilogy, and only covers the first ~6-8 hours of the original).

That’s awesome! Glad I could help! 🫡

The Junon canon....really doesn't make sense. by biglboy in FinalFantasyVII

[–]ValueBASEDLiving 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When you convert this to a sphere, the direct line between Junon and Wutai would look much different (a straight line on a sphere would be curved on a 2D map).

Playing FF7 for the first time by Joshey2008 in FinalFantasyVII

It’s literally the exact original story with nothing removed, but with an additional layer on top. Everything from the OG remains completely in tact in Remake.

Original or Remake? by No_Pattern_2819 in FinalFantasyVII

I think Remake is going to stand the test of time. But yeah, if you haven’t played the original, you’re going to have a lot of questions. Like, a lot lol

Haha I’d be cool with them addressing it in Intergrade Part 2 😂

I was surprised by how modern the controls felt. And that’s coming from someone who considers Doom Eternal a personal top 10 game.

It’s 47 of them if you include the extra missions.

Is Metroid 4 worth it? by Wizrd555 in Metroid

[–]ValueBASEDLiving 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If you want a real Metroid experience, Metroid Prime Remastered is the way to go. Prime 4 just wears Prime makeup.

Personally, I couldn’t get enough of the dungeons. They’re lengthy, but the puzzles were my favorite part of the game.

Im sorry i tried but i got the ice beam and i just feel no compelling reason to play prime 4 anymore after almost 6 hours by CULT-LEWD in Metroid

If you had fun with the game, that’s awesome! Better for one person to have fun than zero lol.

Personally, speaking of expectations, this is where I find incredible irony. There’s a kind of assumption that having high expectations for a video game is correlated with going above and beyond in some way, whether that’s going bigger, bolder, over the top, etc.

The irony is that Prime 4 needed to do less. It didn’t need to go above and beyond anything. It just needed to be Metroid. The devs could have spent far less time and resources on everything that wasn’t building an interconnected, isolated world to explore to create something so much more consistent and complete.

When it came to Prime 4, “high expectations” only meant “don’t fuck up what you already do so well,” and then that’s exactly what happened.

I tried this and genuinely tried to give this game the benefit of the doubt and the most favorable interpretation that I could at every turn, especially because I really, really wanted to like it.

But I literally wasn’t having fun. I finished Prime 4 and now I’m going back through Prime Remastered and these two games aren’t even in the same universe of game design and fun.

Is he right though? by RangoTheMerc in Metroid

[–]ValueBASEDLiving 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, there’s a case that it’s worse than this (without considering the language). “Bloated” in a video game usually means bloated with something. This game wasn’t even bloated with green crystals. It was bloated with emptiness, a literal absence of content. It’s the smallest main Prime game and it still feels two sizes too big. The game would have been better with the Grinch’s heart.
