Japanese customers have to pay 100 yen to upgrade their PS4 copies of FF7:R. Everywhere else it's free? Weird.

Among the FFVII announcements today, I misunderstood one of the trailers and thought Square was releasing all of the old FFVII games, such as Crisis Core, and Dirge of Cerberus, as remasters in 2022. This is not the case, but I wish it was.

Games these days (these days) are terrified of taking anything from the player. At worst you'll have an isolated sequence where you're without your allies or abilities/gear, but you get it back after a few minutes. I miss the days where you could straight up have all your poo poo stolen until you undertake an optional sidequest to get it back.

Some people can't stand not doing optional stuff. Look at trophies for another example.

I don't want to sound like a fuddy duddy, it is cool that FF7 fucks with the player and has missable things. But the two times FF7 has hosed with me so far (chocobo catching and charging me to use a save point) have been very frustrating

I briefly thought FF7 Ever Crisis was going to be the straight remake of FF7 I've wanted for 15+ years with a nostalgic aesthetic to boot and I briefly got very excited but it sounds like it might just be a linear series of battles with cutscenes in between without any exploration or dungeon elements and now I'm back to being existentially unhappy again.

It does mean I'll be buying even fewer big games since my salary puts me barely above the national poverty level and far below the regional level.

Wages are so stagnant you either rent a house with roommates and live off of 20k a year or you spend that much gambling on stock markets for shits and giggles because you got insurance and own a house and whatever already, then like a handful of people are so rich it's literally impossible to visualize with an ape brain the plates coming down sooner or soonerer so o7 to all y'all topside, im going out chomping bread and circus unless we start doing cool hats and guile, way better bc i hate being crushed no offense

Rinkles posted:I don't know much about ffvii but are they selling chunks of the original as dlc? I thought yuffie was a pretty big part of the game They didn't just straight remake FF7, instead they expanded it. So where midgar was a few hours in FF7, it was a whole game in FF7R. They're just now dipping into the post-midgar content, like Yuffie.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:look up minimum wage and cost of living in 1990 compared to today though. I used 1990 because I remember what the games cost back then. I got my first job in '95 and graduated HS in '96, so I can remember how far a dollar could go back then. It still didn't go that far when your weekly income was about $90 after taxes.  stev posted:No gently caress off. No you.

I think the reason people are against games getting 15% more expensive is that it doesn't mean they'll be 15% better, all the extra money will go to executives. I happily pay full price for indie games because it feels like those games making more money is a directly good influence

That's why Dark Souls is such a phenomenon. The lows means the highs are higher.

I miss the days where you could straight up have all your poo poo stolen until you undertake an optional sidequest to get it back. It seems this has left a weird void where people seem super thirsty for the idea of a videogame where major chunks of the game require entire replays to experience. Pre-release Cyberpunk discussion was a ton of people idly fantasizing about which lifepath to do first, with the expectation each path would be significantly divergent. I really wonder how popular that would actually be if any AAA game ever actually pursued that and pulled it off. If fantasy-world Cyberpunk 2077 was actually a game where each lifepath was it's own distinct 50-100 hour deal. Sounds like a really great deal in terms of how much time you'd be able to wring out of it, but possibly exhausting for compulsive-completion-disorder or for people who want to avoid spoilers for an indefinite length of time. The length of these games can also be itself a kind of hurdle for others, who don't have too much time to spare and don't wanna dedicate all year to trying to play the one game to completion. Don't think we'll ever get to put it to the test. 300 hour game could just be 3 games instead. One game could be a nebulous fraction of a game, with self-splintering side games tangentially attached! One day Warioware will be an assortment of 666 microgames, 180 dollars each, but you get 2 free ones for only one oxygen ration.

That's kinda what Witcher 2 went for, and for the most part pulled off pretty successfully, at least from a narrative stand-point. It's just a lot to invest in a AAA game to have millions of dollars of assets that some people will never see

I mean, you could much more easily have a game that's shorter but has more replay value, and I think that's exactly what most people are asking for (and specifically was a theory floated in the cyberpunk thread before release, and also something CDPR talked about compared to The Witcher) Also given how many people admit they never finish games, you'd think there'd be huge demand for this. Instead of making a 60+ hour RPG that only 40% of players finish, make a 20+ hour RPG that everybody finishes, but has 3 entirely different paths. Makes sense eh? But I think that's entirely tangential to having a game that allows the player to miss out on things or fail. That's more of a game-length discussion. Having a character or item that you can miss out on in the game and would have to replay for is pretty different from having entirely different playthroughs with different characters or playstyles or whatever.

Definitely didn't finish Witcher 2, let alone the alternate path. Interesting to know it diverged though. In my defense, it ran like poo poo on my computer at the time and the text itself was really hard to read for some weird reason. The controls and combat never felt very natural, comfortable, or intuitive on either kbm or controller but I might say that about all three. 20+ hour RPG is another route I don't think I recall experiencing yet, couldn't say if I'd replay the alt paths or not. I beat Cyberpunk whereas I did not for Witcher 2/3. My steam stats only show 9 hours on Witcher 3, but also more achievements than I could do in 9 hours, also a ton of achievements all earned at the same time impossibly? I've definitely sunk way more into it than that, I started from scratch and got like halfway in different places both times.

That could be it, I have played some games offline for whatever errant reasons before and would explain the sudden batch of disparate achievements. I wonder also if I just played it elsewhere, but lost my progress whe na PC died. Seem to recall restarting MGSV for that reason.

One of the route design decisions of Fire Emblem Three Houses was based around the idea that games should sometimes be mean, and that they get too predictable if the player can count on always keeping what they have
