@nessisonett I think it's the same few handful of people that have nothing better to do with their lives than spout useless sh*te on the internet. Whenever I see a comment like that it's always from a new account with one or two comments. Makes me feel a bit sorry for them really.

@KidBoruto Yeah, I think you are right. Would be interesting to see how they do it.

I think they may release it in one part rather than the episodic way they have done FF7. There isn't really any large areas (like Midgar) that could be expanded into a full game in its own right. You move from one place to another quite swiftly.

@MindfulGamer SRPGs are my favourite genre but I totally appreciate your opinion. They can be a bit dense. You mentioned you liked Vandal Hearts Flames of Judgement. Have you played the first two Vandal Hearts on PS1? They are really good, streamlined and hold up really well.

@Poker_1987 Pathetic.

The episode was pretty good. I like the series so far. It's not the best thing since sliced bread but they've done a good job. would get a 7/10 thus far from me.

@belmont Do we dare to dream? A full remake of FF9 would probably be top of my most wanted list.

Aren't you better off just locking comments at this point? It's really sad to see but its just a mess.

Game looks really good. Not willing to drop £70 on any game but once it hits a decent sale I'll pick it up. Glad to see it turned out well.

Zoom hacks sound like something that isn't a big deal but it really gives an advantage in this game. The way the fights flow having a birdseye view of the whole arena makes a huge difference.

@ShogunRok I am such a person. Played 5 and now I'm 10 hours into 4.

I really like it so far. It's a little rougher around the edges and does feel like a step back in some ways, but the general blueprint is still there.

One part that really does feel quite a bit less fleshed out is the dungeons. I've only done the first but it feels way more generic than 5's carefully curated levels. Also, maybe it opens up more going forward but it feels slightly more restrictive in how many interesting places you can visit in comparison to 5. Still early days though.

Great game. Playing it on Switch since handheld is a great way to play these games. Definitely going to finish it.

I really want to buy this but can't justify it before Sunbreak comes out since I already have that on Switch. It improves the game so much.

Best game since Balan Wonderworld. Shame it doesn't quite hit those lofty heights.

Never heard or Relayer but it looks really cool. As a SRPG fan it's one to add to the wish list.

@JudgeDredd Happy Birthday! Hope you have a good one.

Still plugging away at The Witcher interspersed with Monster Hunter Rise. May start Tactics Ogre.

Awesome pick. Haven't played this yet but enjoyed the Sky trilogy. Will be picking this up on Switch at some point.

@LiamCroft Haha, that's pretty funny.

I actually think this comment section has been quite civil compared to those at the time of release. It's more of a debate on the validity of remakes/ remasters on Game of the Year lists. Seems like a fair enough point of debate regardless of which way you side.

Personally, I think the remake wasn't really needed but was welcome all the same. The amount of effort involved should make it eligible for these lists and Push Square's placement seems solid. I haven't played it yet but will when the price is right (around £30).

I've been playing it in performance mode and it looks and runs beautifully. The storytelling and writing are best in class. The combat is serviceable but showing it's age.

I'd give it a 9/10.

Haven't got around to the big hitters yet so my list would be:

1. Pentiment
2. Tinykin
3. Ghost of Tsushima
4. Tunic
5. Citizen Sleeper

@AdamNovice Because it's very difficult to actually think of any that have been any good. As a big Monster Hunter fan that garbage they produced last year is best forgotten.

This could turn out to be great. I hope it does, but history is very much stacked against it. The cynicism is warranted.

Shows how little creativity is left in Hollywood these days when they keep having to poach video game IPs.

Wonder who owns the NFT of it.

I shall add to those sales when/ if the price drops to £15 or lower.

@Tigerhoodman You should turn the question marks off. They add very little value and clutter up the map. You'll miss nothing by not doing them. It's just a chest here and there with inconsequential loot (which you have usually outleveled).

@Gamer_Guy Cult of the Lamb isn't on Game pass. Hopefully it will be someday. Two point Campus is though, and it is great.

@AndyKazama Nintendo Directs are short and snappy enough, but other than that, I agree. It's a shame. I used to love E3 week.

That'll be me watching the trailers on YouTube the next day then. Don't have the time to waste on watching something that long with such little substance.

@theMEGAniggle I see what you are saying but the adoption rate for VR is still really low due to the huge barrier of entry (in both a monetary sense and a practical one). They can push it as much as they like but it's still too early.

Once VR/ AR becomes more affordable and is as easy as putting on a pair of specs the 'Metaverse' (god I despise that term) marketing will be in full swing.

@theMEGAniggle Eh. It's still too early. If it doesn't take off then they will drop it like a stone. How many companies are talking about NFTs these days 🤔

@Zuljaras You have great taste in games. Both are awesome. Enjoy.

I'm away this weekend but have my Switch to make more progress on Return to Monkey Island.

Who needs surprises? Between this and FFXVI I'd imagine that's two of their big hitters spoiled. Must be infuriating for devs/ event organisers

Oh how this series has fallen since the golden days of Pro Evo 3-5. It was brilliant back then.

Pretty pants lineup. Not interested in paying a sub to access games that have been available for years. Once I finish Ghost of Tsushima (which is excellent) I'm gonna let my sub run out.

@KundaliniRising333 Par for the course these days unfortunately. Capcom seems to have figured out that a sure fire way to make lots of money is to make games that people actually want.

The amount of companies that just follow trends and hope something sticks is verging on incompetence. From MMOs to MOBAs to Battle Royales, very few of them actually find success.

The amount of money wasted trying to chase the dragon of the live service infinite money pot must be eye watering.

A mobile MMO designed for the Korean audience sounds like nothing I want to be a part of.

It's a sad indictment on modern gaming that I do not trust them to not monetize the ***** out of this.

@Shepherd_Tallon It's the daddy of tactics games and one of the best games ever made period. If you have an interest in the genre it's a must play.

@TeapotBuddha Why? Graphics have hit a point of diminishing returns. Developers should be prioritising frame rate over fidelity. God of War Ragnarok is going to offer a 60fps mode. Does this game look good enough to have half the frame rate in comparison?

@Shepherd_Tallon Your mistake there was reading comments on the internet.

That's nice. Will this one actually be good?

@ShogunRok You aren't missing much. Season 2 was very average.

Twitter should not be taken as a means to gauge anything. Its a cesspit filled with people that have nothing better to do with their lives than be on Twitter all the time. Everything skews to the negative.

Glad to see the Devs banding together.

Anyone that buys this for £70 deserves to be ripped off. To think Elden Ring launched at 50...

@NEStalgia It has just turned into a thread of half- baked analogies. Everyone kneads to stop loafing around and going against the grain.

@LieutenantFatman You may as well wait a few years after that and get the 16k remake.

Please ignore all the 'stop picking on poor Sony' comments and continue to write these articles. Keep it in the news cycle so it isn't brushed under the rug and forgotten about. Its the only way anything will change in the long run.

Hilarious to see people defending this in the comments. Why do you feel the need to side with a billion-dollar corporation that couldn't give two ***** about you? All they want to do is extract all the money from your wallet.

The only way this will stop happening is if people stop taking it. Everything going up in price is not an excuse for this to happen - it's a reason for this to be avoided. Late stage capitalism is destroying the hobby a lot of us love, yet people are still queued up to defend these leeches.

Ah yes. I'll never forget the days that I used to lie down on my rug for a quick snooze with my oddly realistic-looking Rajang Pillow. Good times.

@naruball You're absolutely right. It can be both unnecessary and not a cash grab. They are not mutually exclusive.

That is exactly where I sit on this debate; it cannot be a cash grab due to the amount of effort which has clearly been put into it. However, it's an unnecessary remake as the original is not old enough to warrant it. The remastered version for PS4 still looks and plays great.

It would be a much more interesting proposition to me of it was priced at £40, rather than £70.

Deleted my Social Media accounts years ago. Here, Nintendolife and PureXbox are the only places I interact with anyone on the internet. It's so much better that way. My mental health has increased significantly. Everything is reported on these sites/ in the news instantly anyway. You dont miss anything.

@The_Pixel_King Oh nice. Thanks for that. I think I made it to 3 cells before falling off due to difficulty. I will have a tinker with the new options.

@Col_McCafferty I'm confident it will happen you'll probably just have to pay 60 quid for the privilege...

@The_Pixel_King I've been meaning to pick up Dead Cells again. What difference has the patch made in terms of progression?
