was VERY reluctant to buy marvel vs Capcom 3 when it was on sale because of the slop machines that are aaaaaaa devs.
said screw it and pulled the pin. Sat on it for about a week and finally booted it up last night… I absolutely forgot that these AAAA devs used to make games, not stores with games attached.
very refreshing to be bought back to the ¢25 arcade machine games again with no stupid stores, cosmetics, characters locked behind a wallet.
Now if I can just find a street fighter game that is in the same vein that doesn’t have stores with stores and nonstop ads for junk.
Aside from it being split into 3 games, this is how I feel about the FF7 remakes.
They are so very full of love and obvious developer passion. The gameplay systems are internally consistent, the charachters are adorable, the world is beatiful. Once you own the game, it doesn’t ask again. You can just step into the world and live there until the credits roll.
I was worried, and I’m still worried, that some squenix exec will ruin it. But it hasn’t happened.
Remake and Rebirth are simply good games. Anything bad you could say about them is subjective. I know the gameplay and charachters don’t jell with everyone but I love it.
Same goes for the modern Resident Evil games, Armored Core 6, Horizon and GoW.
There are still good AAA games. But they for sure aren’t the rule anymore, but the exceptions.
They can’t avoid employing artists, and every now and then they fail to stop them from making something good.
Fellow FF7 Remake enjoyer! We seem to be a rare breed online. I’m so goddamn stoked for the last part, and started a replay of Remake to prepare.
Yeees! I keep wondering how the hell they’re funding the remake trilogy. There are dozens of us!
