Oh fuuuuck, now I gotta make decisions about my spending budget. Thanks for the info.
Squeenix is making an effort to improve though and get back to when their games were good. They may fail, but at least they're trying. EA doesn't give a shit about anyone.
That's never gonna happen. Too many of the first gen are considered classics, not to mention Nintendo just had Game Freak update all of the Pokemon to 3D cel-shade models. The closest we'd get is another Pokemon Black/White where none of the old Pokemon are available until post-game.
Or, you know, like I said. PIRATE DA3 for PC. If you *have* to, you can hook a controller up to it so your mensa-equivalent computational system can pretend to be a vacuous cheerleader console. She gets her Dragon Junior High Romance Sim 3, you get your Midlife Crisis Pets:Failure to Launch Edition, and EA doesn't make any money out of any of it.
Considering how they changed the battle system in DA2, I don't think mouse support really mattered. No more top-down view. I think they're bringing it back for DA3. I don't know. Not my problem.
I would hold DA3 to a high, almost unreachable standard. Like, straight 11s across the board from every reviewer ever. Anything less than that, and I'm not interested.
That was freakin' brilliant.
You know that EA has already come out and said that you probably won't be able to upload your saves this time around because of incompatibility issues, right? They are instead making an app that will let you pick your decisions and THAT will make something you can load into the next game.
Well, that's fucking stupid. On the other hand, if I was going to play DA3, I suppose it would benefit me since I never finished DA2 before I sold it and deleted my save.
Well, I don't. I haven't bought or played an EA game since... uh... hrm.. Wow, Warhammer Online, I guess, in 2008. But I do acknowledge they have games/franchises other people want to buy (like I can hardly fault some people for wanting the Sims 4, the sims may not be my specific bag but they've been quality titles), and won't be dissuaded by the knowledge they are supporting the ruining of the video games industry as a whole by subsidizing other shitty games they don't want and empowering EA to perpetuate awful employee treatment as a de facto industry standard. Hell, if Dungeon Keeper Mobile had actually been as good as the original Dungeon Keeper (or even DK2), I probably would have gotten (read: pirated) it myself... even if it was just a straight port with no other coding other than to make it run on Android/IOS. To paraphrase Bowielee, "Bought (game). Don't care." Monosyllabic grunts of apathy from a man I know for a fact not to be unintelligent.
Wow, they've suddenly moved to a far more Asian inspired aesthetic for their cinematics. I suppose being owned by a Chinese company will have that eventual influence.
Funnily enough, I may like that. Mobile games are my go-to on the subway during my commute, especially Runner games. I don't think I've ever spent any money on them, but they're fun and distracting without requiring too much attention (and my subway ride is too short to play most 3DS games in a satisfactory way).
Yeah, seriously. How about instead of another 6 re-treads of Final Fantasy, they release maybe a Front Mission compilation with improved translation (apparently half the story was missing in FM4). FM3 and FM4 were barely promoted at all over here yet they were still fairly successful. I'm sure there's a market for a turn-based tactical game featuring customizable mechs out there.
Not successful enough to get FM5, but we did get the FM remake on the DS and I -guess- Front Mission Evolved too. Though FME is shit... best way to play the game is to just hide behind a shield and use a shoulder gatling to fight EVERYTHING.
I like Theatrhythm ...
That's dumb as shit. That bike game wasn't even that good; it was just a neat way to close out disc 1.
And that's just fucking lazy. Even the PS1 version has lyrics. Squenix has this superstition going on that if they actually remake FF7, as in put any effort into it at all, that will be the end of Final Fantasy. That game is 17 years old and they're terrified that if it's resurrected, it'll be the end of them. They pretend to like money, as can be seen in their shitty mobile structure, but actually don't, as can be seen by their shitty mobile structure.
It's something of an open secret at this point that they are working on a full remake of Final Fantasy 7, slated to come out after 15. They need the money and EVERYONE wants it.
Yeah, it got pretty decent reviews but apparently FM4 only sold like half a million copies.
A lot of that was the old guard not wanting to retread old ground for creative reasons: they felt remaking 7 would be admitting they had no more ideas. But now the only person left you could call "old guard" is Nomura and he's the youngest of them. Everyone else left to do their own things (Sakaguchi formed Mistwalker, Uematsu has a new band in the Earthbound Papas).
Same here. I never finished it the first time, I'm definitely not going to buy it again.
