I could never get into the way it controls and looks. And I’m sure my feelings on warm climates & seasons like summer doesn’t help. I really want to like it though so I want to give it another try

I played 2 with a friend a few years ago. 2 literally felt like more Galaxy. Which is great if you want more Galaxy, not so much if you want to try something a bit new

It makes me wish i had explored them when i was younger. I got like halfway through and had to return my copy to the library and never got to check it out again because one of the other Library Borrowers left it out and it got ruined

I haven’t played the OG (outside of a little bit on Xbox through the re-release) but i can definitely understand why the differences might not be for everyone, especially with all the added stuff

I like these more experimental remakes. Silent Hill 2’s Remake was the same way and it offered something new yet different which i really like. I really hope we get more of these experimental remakes

I barely survived that bit in normal, i got lucky with some dodges and a shotgun blast. I’m not sure what i’m going to do on my Grounded run though

It really is, i decided to check the price on Wii U and Wii the other day just for a reference and irc it was like 20$ at max. I know they were struggling with the Wii U era, but damn. 40$ is way too big of a jump

I was going to comment the same thing. Maybe it’s just the circles i’m in, but like the only thing i’ve heard about it is the price and the performance issues on PC

It really is. A lot of Remedy’s stuff I’ve had fun with, but CONTROL was definitely one of their greatest works

The Ally Aggression being on easy was a godsend for my Grounded run of 1, because that meant if I needed too I could hide in cover and let the Allies fight while I heal/reload/etc

Completely agree on the alone encounter too. I felt it a bit with Abby’s story on Normal, specifically the segment with all the Seraphites

I was naive and bought the 3D All Stars Version when it launched. I don’t think i’ll be buying Galaxy 2 though with that price tag

I was legit thinking the same thing when i heard the news. Between that and them bringing the Virtual Boy back it was a surprising event

I definitely prefer the mix over traditional ATB, and i’m starting to get the hang of it.

I haven’t played much FF before (Played half of the remake on PS4 and then had a brush with 14 with a friend). But with how famous 7 is, i definitely know the basics of the plot

Now I’m more excited to get to Rebirth. i wasn’t aware it’s Systems are all too changed. I kind of assumed it was just more of remake and not much else

As someone who’s very picky about his ATB systems, i do much prefer this. I have nothing against the OG, but damn, is the new one so much fun to use

I have not unfortunately. I tried to give it a try on the Xbox Re release but just couldn’t get into it. I want to go back and give it a try though some day

I just finished up The Last of Us Part II, I really enjoyed it and it explores narrative themes I like.

I just set Final Fantasy 7 Remake to download too. It’s been on my list for a bit and I’ve been lining up to play it after Part II for a while

I’m the kind of person that even if I don’t agree with the message of a game, I can respect and like it.

The meta aspect was something I noticed too. Maybe it is cope like you said, but the story making you feel how Ellie feels is the kind of story I love. Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes and all that. I didn’t think of the farmhouse “ending” though, I can see that though because the game officially ends at the farmhouse. So the “better ending” being there I could see, especially with them escaping alive (except for Jesse)

Snooping around fictional people’s homes in The Last of Us is a hobby I never thought I’d have

GTA is one of those games i keep meaning to pick up, and really want to play, but also keep forgetting to buy it. I’ve been eying the 4th one though. I almost considered Payday because i’m like 75% there’s a level that matches in that, but i checked the size and it’s way too big.
