That's slightly...endearing in a really dystopian way

If you like old adventure games and real time strategy games you’ll be right at home. The artwork is pretty beautiful and the RTS segments look like a radar overview which really works well all considering.

The story is phenomenal. Literally on the edge of my seat the whole time, each chapter having some type of twist or subversion that really keeps you guessing. I bought it on ps4 and later bought it on switch for the gameplay upgrades. Worth every penny for my tastes

I’m one of these people. Translations/dubs can change the entire tone of the scene if localized incorrect.

Now if there isn’t a direct English equivalent to the Japanese, changes should only be done as absolutely necessary.

My problem with the pro localization argument, is I’m enjoying a Japanese property for the sake of its own metrics. I don’t necessarily want to have my dialogue match what’s “normal” for my region, otherwise I’d just purchase a game that was made in the west.

Japanese storytelling (and any other culture for that matter) is unique. Why change it? In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, there are some questionable translation choices that I just can’t jive with (eg: majority of Cait Sith’s catlike banter and the casts reaction to it is glossed over.)

Not to mention people thinking the original story is “problematic” and needs to be “fixed.” If you don’t like a cultures games, don’t play them pretty simple.

I’m still gonna play Unicorn Overlord but I’m not happy with these inaccuracies.

For such soulful games, I wonder why they aren't as popular as other not soulful games. 13 Sentinels is upper echelon story telling

I am so glad that all my flights on Boeing aircraft was in my childhood. Thankfully AirBus hasn't fallen out of the fucking sky :\

Oh man this game is dope. Becoming the “ghost” is so fucking awesome and you just feel extremely lethal.

And surprisingly it is more Assassins Creed than Assassin’s Creed

I disagree with this take.

I thought the world design was a decent balance of open and linear levels. Xenoblade is massive no doubt but often times I’ve found myself wishing it was more…dense I guess? Now I am not a fan of the obvious Ubisoft towers/icons in Rebirth but it is a very lively world where everything feels intentional.

Xenoblade combat is more akin to MMO combat compared to FF7 Rebirth. Rebirth’s combat is surprisingly deep with its ATB/real time combat. Having to juggle three characters simultaneously and set up your stagger/damage phases is really engaging. Xenoblade felt more like a rhythm game until the end stage bosses where positioning and execution suddenly became really important.

I say this as a Xenoblade fan, your comparison is apples to oranges.

I agree, it’s a really well made game with a lot of soul. And the card game is deceptively fantastic, a modern day triple triad

Whoa, that’s true. Hopefully doesn’t play out that way!

I think “normal society” will not be too embedded into the fediverse. The nature of its framework and the hoops you jump through to get into the verse keeps them out. (It’s absolutely easy btw otherwise I wouldn’t be making this comment)

I kinda like it that way. Plus I don’t have to deal with Nazi’s, racism, and overt data surveillance with my current federation set up so I’ll never go back.

Can you explain xmpp? I'd like a federated discord replacement buddy if you could show me the way I'd greatly appreciate it :)

Playing the game now. It's a lot of fun, some good changes but some negative changes from Remake. The open world portions are just gorgeous. The ubisoft towers and icons are kinda lame but it's not just a scourge on the map so to speak. The sidequests have been pretty fun, and the soundtrack is awesome.

Storywise, it follows largely the same beats as the original with some changeups to the formula (I haven't beaten it yet so I expect some wild changes @ the end like last time.). Gameplay is pretty neat but I preferred FF16's DMC style combat.

All in all I wouldn't buy it at $70, but at $50 it is well worth it

If religion wanted to be adhered to, it wouldn’t fill itself with hate

If it would scale to enterprise level that’s a game changer. It would lead to Linux just clobbering the pc market space.

I’m forced into Office suite at my work and I have to fight it.

That absolutely astounds me but your right. Especially crazy considering at any point something could happen to your internet then you’re fucked.

That’s great to hear. It’s a nice little program suite for at home, and I hope one day it can compete against Google/Microsoft’s offerings

Does everything have to be a hustle? Fuck

Glad I’m not the only uncultured swine here haha.

The biggest barrier to consumer renewable energy is price (and it has gone down considerably already.) Big projects ensures more development, which can lead to even lower prices.

With the state of the US power grid, we need more big renewable projects everywhere. Better subsidies on home renewables to take stress off the grid. The sooner the better !
