Re: PS Plus Essential Games for August 2025 Announced

@Sketti These games are less about getting good and more about dying over and over so you remember the patterns and timing. It is artificial difficulty hidden behind memorization. For those that have time and get the enjoyment of repeating things over and over so they get the memory down, cool. I just dont have the time anymore to do that. When you take the "difficulty" aspect away, this genre of games are just lesser RPGs. I think people just enjoy them so much because they wear completion as a badge of honor.

I dont recall this game being very good. Yeah it was an amazing feat in its time because of the open world and a ton of content, but Skyrim improved on it in every conceivable way. Now, open world games are plentiful and basically every single one does it better than Oblivion did. And the main storyline of this game I remember being really poor. I dont know, maybe I'm not remembering correctly. Not really interested in trying this until its a freebie or under 20 bucks.

Re: 15 Years Ago, Square Enix Released the Most Divisive Final Fantasy Game

The biggest dissapointment I ever had with a game. I made it to the point everyone was saying it "opened up" and was like....this is it? Most of the characters were obnoxious, the story was really hard to follow. It is a shame because the battle system was really cool and Lightnings design was awesome, but the sum of it's parts were just bad. I wouldn't want them to dedicate resources to a remake.
