Looks awesome, any pve? I miss terrorist hunt on Vegas 2 and not found a replacement for it yet after all these years

Por que no los dos?

Nationalities are just arbitrary labels that you had no power over deciding

Korra was mint. What you on about?

In fact that show being what it is is the only reason some people i know got into the franchise as a whole. ATLA looked too kiddy for them.

For the longest time kotor 1 on mobile felt like the best way to play it with a controller. I'm excited to try out 2 one time.

Do you get to keep these ranges to install on other devices once the giveaway is over or is it an install and keep it sort of situation?

If only DEI was abolished, then these planes should never have crashed

/S

I'm worried it's done without vicarious staff though and will be shit like the ones before they took the wheel

I think the new ones are made from potato starch

Shhh he's a pirate, he has no concept of how much media costs.

This is my all time favourite movie, whereas the first probably isn't in the top 5, low top 10 max.

Is there a way to use an MSX in English? I've always been interested in them

I feel like being ignorant of the issues is what mostly brought the American public to vote for him/allow this to happen. Wouldn't this put you onto a similar path or at least become complicit towards what's going on?

Or are you in the belief that someone else will just do something for you?

Think you've hit it on the nail on the head. It feels less like a chore because of the way they all connect with one another.

Although even before fast travel I still did a lot of manual travelling to get everything done. At least until I realised that fast travel was very likely to get better later in the game, which it of course did.

I've enjoyed all of the movies in the moment (except ant man 3) but a few I've liked less the more i think back on them.

Spidey 3, deadpool 3, falcon (mostly), Loki and wandavision were great at release and still are to me (i guess the jury is still out on deadpool with it being so new)

It looking like winter soldier is why I've been excited. I've also always liked falcon as cap so seeing more of that is always good to me.

More like, touch ma nob, smart.

The rain?

It's a massive improvement too. The changes they made to materia make it more fun too.

I loved the combat system, so I enjoyed every fight in game (except flying monsters in the first game if you didn't have barret around). I think it's my favourite hybrid combat system that allows both tactical and reactionary attacks and shines the most when you're juggling between characters to get the ATB gauges up on everyone as quickly as possible so you have more toys to play with constantly.

The Yuffie DLC (Intermission) then expands upon the traversal mechanics and team based combat mechanics which were a whole lot of fun. A lot of this carried over to Rebirth as well but expanded upon again. Still ended up with Yuffie being one of the most fun to play though because she was originally designed to play mostly solo from her DLC, but having a character that is more fun to play isn't a bad thing obviously.

Story wise, without spoiling too much, I love how, much like a lot of the mechanics, tries to expand upon old elements rather than outright replace them. And the story being some kind of pseudo-sequel where meta-textuality enhances the experience it ensures that these games are not replacements of the original. Which makes me laud it up in the highest regards. If they had just tried to replicate everything I think it would've felt even weirder it trying to be a wholesale replacement of the original like a lot of standard remakes try to be (think resi and silent hill). I don't know how others can replicate what square is doing though since a lot of it is rooted in it's story and doesn't deviate far from the elements introduced in the original and the compilation games. Resi could not have replicated this intertextuality between versions of the game. You could argue silent hill could due to its story elements but they just focused on making it an enhanced version of the original.

I think I'm starting to ramble too much now so I'll start to end it. I think the fact I can ramble about these games and gush about them so much shows how much I love them.

Other than astro bot rebirth was one of the most refreshing breaths in gaming for me, despite me more often than not despising both large open worlds and ubi style towers. Yet I felt compelled to almost 100% the game just due to the amount of fun I was having that I could just not get anywhere else.

And now I have two extra games (eventually three) I can regularly replay for my FFVII itch, alongside the original which has been a bi-yearly ritual to replay since before my age was in double digits. I couldn't be happier. Though Rebirth will always be the highlight when replaying just due to the combat overhauls they made which in retrospect makes the first look like a tech demo.
