"don't care if its fake or not"

Boy this sounds familiar. It's exactly the same mentality that made people stick with Trump.

This kind of nonsense erodes the valid criticism. How many times do people say "Look at the idiot Trump supporters, they're all hung up on something that didn't even happen." Or how people make fun of the AI generated shirtless Trump pictures.

Everyone here is actively participating in that, but you're changing the rules because you don't like this guy. All the things you said about them they are now saying about you. And they are right.

I'm not pro-Elon, he sucks. But I want to keep the limited attention that people have laser focused on his actual words and actions, not this dumb shit.

Easy on the click bait text there. Putting words in all caps like that makes people more likely to ignore you

No.

And by no I mean we're not just now asking that. A lot of us already knew we were the baddies. We have been.

I mean it's bad for you in the way that salt is bad for you... Too much without anything to balance it is bad, but used correctly it actually has benefits. The fat free diet to me is the same as trying to have a salt free diet... There's probably more going on there than just that one thing.

He's been working on that for 4.5 years. 10s of thousands of attempts.

The grind is so real

I asked it who will win the super bowl later today and it said it didn't know.

That's the same thing as what you were asking, from a timeline perspective.

Absolutely wild. Wondering if there's information we don't know about, because this trade looks pretty one sided.

Worth noting that Steve from Gamers Nexus admitted that he reviewed this video before it went live, meaning that Rossmann and Steve were collaborating, so Rossmann cannot be seen as an objective third party.

Oh, and they're also starting some sort of project together, I think it'll be a podcast.

Not that it invalidates the point, but also creates an odd incentive here.

Yeah I'm a bit confused. He's said they are trying to provide a pretty base level of education... Just enough to get started, but aren't meant to be crazy deep dives. The labs content is a bit different, but I think it's pretty easy to tell the difference.

I'll start with a caveat that I'm a huge FF7 fan.

Remake was cool, but plagued with pacing problems. The biggest issue was they had to make everything sort of from scratch, and so a ton of development time was put into the "fixed costs" of things. The result was a cool, but extremely padded game. It really is maybe 15% of the content of the original, but stretched out.

Rebirth covers SO much more. Like holy shit it is maybe 10x the game that Remake is, and there's good quality content. There's the usual side quests, but they are, in fact, side quests. If you don't want to do the fetch quest things they talk about, you can skip over the vast majority. I didn't like that critique... If a game has optional content you find boring, it's hard to knock the game for it.

But the visuals in this game are dazzling. I thought the map was huge and vast, and had so many different environments... And then realized there were 5 or 6 completely unique areas like that. It's a real marvel to go through the different landscapes.

Story wise, I think they did an excellent job, provided you did play the original. It's hard to get around that part, but it's sort of a price of admission for a sequel game. But they cleaned up SOOOO many issues with the original game. Things are explained so much more clearly, that I think people forget how incoherent the original story was. There was a lot of hand waving and completely unexplained sides. This game really brings them all into focus. They added a pretty hefty amount of story as well, and I thought it was for the better.

There are some knocks I agree with... The Cait Sith sections are a bit brutal, but luckily they're infrequent. The combat is super fun - again I think I disagree with the author on this... There's so many shortcuts you can set to not have to go through menus. I rarely found myself in the situations they talked about, but to each their own.

The game is not perfect, and not for everyone. But I thought the voice acting and story elements were great. They found a reasonable way to be really goofy and funny at times, while also maintaining a more serious tone when needed.

I massively enjoyed it, and thought it was a great 2nd addition. Like all middle parts of a trilogy, I could completely sour on a lot of them if they don't bring it home. Part 2 sets up a lot, pays off a small amount, but they're really setting up for a massive ending. If they execute, both games will be seen as massive achievements, in my eyes. Though I think most of the criticisms of Remake are well warranted.

It's 2 of 3

Thank you for this. I hate all the caveating you have to do on the internet, but this taught me something I didn't know and now I'm slightly less of an idiot :)
