felt like playing new vegas but with the usual anti crash mods and a dep exception it still crashes way too often to be playable, nice

I never finished 6 (game ran like shit on PS4 - when you finally get a plane, or even a fast enough car, the game periodically halts to load in more of the environment), but this was the feeling I got from it, too.
I guess itâs fun to sneak around and shoot guys in the head with a bow. I guess thatâs fun. It wears thin quick but I guess itâs OK, to nock an arrow and hit a guy in the head, with your bow.
I think the thing that made me stop is the absurd mission where Dani has a poisonous? explosive? cellphone implanted in her abdomen and you gotta feverishly drive to someone who can help you. The game does the requisite Far Cry âtripping outâ thing while making it seem like you really gotta go fast, but if you do you almost literally zoom past each and every hallucinatory sequence before it can fully play out.
Reminded me of the opposite of playing Cruisân Blast, where if you wanna get all the medals you gotta drive slowly, and you can see all the set piece stuff unfurl at molasses pace waiting for you to arrive to it.

My favorite Crys Far are Primal and 2. Granted for the former the 10,000 BC setting is the main draw for me, itâs still got too much cruft.

Played more FFX for reasons unknown.
Just done the big failed attack on Sin.

as wild as it would be to see 6 or 8 get the FF7 remake treatment, if they want to pick a game whose scope can accommodate it and whose original incarnation isnât fun or well executed at all relative to its concept, they should probably do X next

Iâve never played the original FFVIII but for some reason I used to read fanfiction back in the day, selfishly I want them to do a remake of that one

itâs too hard to imagine them faithfully reproducing any of the shit in there and the funny thing is that it basically holds up in terms of pacing, CG, being fun to play, original english script, etc. I donât think an 8 remake can succeed, I donât think a 9 remake is necessary, a 6 remake would be incredible imo but it would need the budget of 7 and no sane person would greenlight that, people keep rumoring a chrono trigger remake which feels like a big mistake â X is the actual smart move

I canât imagine X remake working out. I love the game but it might have by far the least charismatic characters in any Final Fantasy. Cool designs, dress made entirely of belts is slay, love a pilgrimage and I-hate-you-dad but other than that who cares about these people and their stupid water polo worshipping world? Do I really want to see a nuanced take on fucking Wakka? (YES I DO OUT OF MORBID CURIOSITY)
I canât imagine a worse choice for a remake Iâm sorry Fefe!!! !!! !!! Maybe itâs why it could work???

4 Remake could go off.

thatâs why it would work! they could rewrite every single characterâs personality while keeping the skeleton of the thing which is actually good
make Kimahri a Dave Bautista type, add a running joke where no one can tell whether or not they have sexual tension with Lulu after every conversation, add an actual father son relationship into the game and not a nonsense barely implied one, make Yuna smarter in some ways and dumber in others, youâve got a real cast

but one of my favourite parts of the game is despising wakka and never talking to him

the pilgrimage story works much better if half the cast is written as deliberately and wholeheartedly blinkered, not just âkind of dumb.â
Tidus should be written as a 20 year old who was raised without religion but who finds himself seriously considering a spiritual awakening but maybe just because heâs horny for a religious girl and doesnât know better but possibly does? thatâs a great character. right there on the page. give me some of that

Wakka should be introduced in his first scene receiving a head injury from a Blitzball and thereafter be written as Forrest Gump, with various village shopkeepers implying that he was basically like that all along
He should constantly be bandaged in different ways throughout the game like Elliot Gould in California Split

Rikku should be a riff on Yuffie being portrayed as the only FF7 character whoâs actually Japanese, except slightly dumber and more aspirational, eg constantly voicing insights along the lines of this old Twitter joke:
the rest of the cast will nod and exchange glances every time like theyâre not sure if they just heard something smart or stupid

Auron should have a Dale Gribble streak in him and constantly go a few steps too far in speculating about the conspiratorial nature of Sin and Yu Yevon. At the end of the game it is revealed that he was technically correct about everything and Jecht has personally been fucking with him like Yoda in Last Jedi

I think this totally works along the lines of the towns in FF7 Remake where your various party members split off in different directions for expository cutscenes â like imagine heâs been separated from you for 15 minutes of game time and you find him in a full body cast being like âno big deal homieâ
also could be a great running joke where he keeps coming close to saying âWakka Wakkaâ before something explodes in the distance

played the demo for the new capcom thing last night, getting it to run with low settings on a steam deck. as of this moment i cannot remember the title. i keep forgetting it the moment it exits my view. i kinda think it might not matter wether the game is good or not because im surely not the only one who cannot maintain object permanence on the title.
i think the kid is fine. its funny seeing her holding on while you run and jump around, and her comments somehow feel less aggravating when it sounds like a kid being a bragging know-it-all. certainly canât be as bad as that metroid guy
the game also seems fine but i guess im a bit lukewarm on these kinda shooter games, mostly feeling like im being bothered when another enemy drops from somewhere cause i was trying to go somewhere and now im locked in and gotta shoot and dodge and oh we have a separate minigame to play simultaneously. henry hatsworth is probably old enough to drink by now. its good probably

My initial thought was that âgood writingâ was the last thing Final Fantasy X needed because the inanity is part of the appeal but okay youâve sold me on this.
Send that design document to Square-Enix.

Yeah fuck it Iâm sold too I have no attachment at all to the original and this sounds pretty funny

after everyone presuming intimacy with Lulu bc of her demeanor and body the whole game and her not appreciating it there should be a scene where she eventually confides in Kimahri as the only one who she really trusts and then they fuck sloppy style
people want to see blue dick and if James Cameron wonât give it to them then I will
