Re: Talking Point: Do You Agree with PS5's Approach to Generations?

feral1975

Yes, as long as it's not the weird bendy armed bad art design that is usually the case with games at the start of a generation. That really irks me, environment looks great but character design always looks 2 generations old. I don't know if developers get told to tone things down and pace things out across a consoles lifespan or not, but normally the first few games look pretty bad.

Re: PS5 Fans Are Panicking Over Backwards Compatibility

I know it's greedy to want it to do everything, but that's what made the original batch of PS3s so great. They played CDs/DVDs/BDs and PSX/2/3 games, that was exactly what I wanted, and also why I was so disappointed with PS4.
Ideal solution - in my mind - would be the equivalent now for PS5 whilst also supporting Now and the various digital options for people who don't like to retain physical media, best of both worlds.

Re: Poll: Do You Like the Final Fantasy VII Remake Ending?

I don't understand, why do you all like it? Squenix seem to have tried....for a bit. It was ok until it got to seventh heaven. Then all that typical Squenix filler stuff.
Has no one else noticed they relegated the original music to random areas? Or those stupid remixes. The rest, the awful composer from FFXIII? The expanded stuff? Embarrassing. That Speed Demon character, exactly what's been so bad about FF games since FFXII!
Admittedly, I'm not far in but I don't think it'll get better.

Re: Rumour: The Last of Us 2's New Release Date Just Got Leaked, But Probably Not

They've been making a few errors lately.
One in particular, I preordered Final Fantasy VII Remake in April 2016 and they changed the date to 14/04/20 max delivery time of 8pm. While all my friends who lived further away from me to the distribution centre got their copies early despite only preordering one month ago, Amazon at 6pm yesterday changed the arrival date to 24/04/20. Presumably as they'd given all their stock out to customers paying full price.
No honour whatsoever and all they said was "You can feel free to cancel your preorder". It's sold out everywhere here.
I'll think twice about buying from them again.

Re: Sony Makes Uncharted: Nathan Drake Collection and Journey Available for Free on PS4

Just to hijack a popular thread - sorry in advance. I preordered FFVII Remake from Amazon back in 2016, and friends I know who are further away from the distribution centre and only pre-ordered it a month ago got it last week, even as early as last Monday. Amazon changed the arrival date to max 8pm 14/04/20 then at 6pm yesterday changed it again to 24/04/20 after I spent the day waiting for it.
Has anyone else had similar problems?

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Final Fantasy VII Remake?

feral1975

I've had it pre-ordered with Amazon since 2016 and have been told next Tuesday.
Yet everyone else I know who pre-ordered from them have received their copies early.
They all only pre-ordered witin the past 2 months and live further away from the distribution centre. So they literally drove past me to get to them.

Re: Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - A Fascinating JRPG Classic, Gameplay Flaws and All

Love this game and its characters, and was always surprised about how much hate it has had in recent years. Esp with the stupid 'emo' tag attributed to Squall. It will be interesting to see if the rerelease improves it's reputation. That said I was never a fan of junctioning, and the wrapping up of the plot was messy, but as a whole the game was great. I have next week off work to play it and can't wait.
