It takes a bit to get the swing of what’s happening in battles. It’s not real time and it’s not atb, the mix of the two is great.

I found myself really appreciating the updated content and perspective from the original, but you really don’t need to have played it before.

Every gamer who plays final fantasy knows the basics. Cloud and Arith good, Seperoth bad. But this one expands so much and includes a lot of the story from crisis core and other games in the series.

I get jealous of everyone replaying for the first time. But I’m still looking forward to hearing more about your journey.

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

These are great!

I do want to reinstall and replay rdr2 but I’m waiting for the rumoured next gen update before I do.

I do hope it eventuates, but…I’ve seen enough ‘credible’ leaks that its right around the corner to last me a lifetime

I hope it arrives for you, because RDR2 is a beautiful game, in its own slow way. Well worth replaying!

I’d love to replay, but I spent so many hours in it. Much like Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk, I think I can’t actually play any more of it because I played so much already

I never played Remake, but when a YouTuber recently did a comparison video between some of their major scenes, I ended up respecting the original so much more.

A great one was when the plate falls. The original made directorial choices that emphasized the brutality of it all so much better, especially by choosing to cut the music. It just seems like Remake’s director was adding so many things simply because he could, making short and direct scenes so much worse by excess creation.

Of note, another JRPG from that general time period, Trails in the Sky, is being remade soon, and that one seemed quite a bit more faithful to me. Still taking liberties to change dialog, but only where it makes sense - they also greatly retooled the battle system with full respect for classic turntaking style.

Was it hard?

GrantUsEyes,

That depends on the player; It’s as hard as you want it to be, (you can over level if you’re struggling, or do a challenge run staying under level, no upgrades, etc.) definitely not hard compared to today’s soulslike standards. If you are new to the genre it may take some adjustment, but the game is worth it.

Have you played the original game?

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

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

Trailer dumping: useful content, or ad spam?

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

To me if it’s a new release of a game…of course it should be shared! The first person to post it (preferably with their own views on the game coming written underneath) keeps the community up-to-date with what games look like. Trailer ‘dumping’ really only happens when there’s a big event, and the point of that event is seeing trailers for games. It makes sense to have them shared here.

But posts sharing the same trailer after that first? Removed.

I don’t think of it as ad spam, because it’s not like Rockstar is making a Lemmy account to make sure we see the GTA VI trailer. If we denied trailers being posted, there’d be some very angry Silksong people when that one got the trailer!

frongt,

Should they be consolidated into one post then? It’s just bothersome to see a bunch of ads (because let’s be real, trailers are ad material) dumped in quick succession. The only ones I’d watch are for games I’m interested in playing, but for the ones I really want to play, I’d rather go in mostly blind so I won’t watch those either.

It’s not just one trailer, either, it’s announcement, release date, “now on steam”, cinematic trailer, gameplay trailer, release announcement trailer.

That’s indeed what we asked to do next time for big events. But when no such big event occurs, it’s OK.

In my opinion, the following trailers are acceptable :

  • Announcement of a new game -> so we can start talking about that game
  • Announcement of end of early access or of game release (like Hades 2 recently) -> So we can talk about the game at its release state
  • Major update of updates of a game (as soon as it isn’t too often) -> So we can discuss how that specific update make that game evolve, for better or worse. I’d honestly still prefer those one to be kept to their dedicated communities, but one from time to time won’t kill anyone.

Globally, that’s also a way to advertise dedicated communities for that specific game, so I think that’s alright.

We’ll discuss all of this with the incoming community rules update.

I've been having a blast playing this on my stream deck

Juice,

Wow how did you make that work?

TachyonTele,

I didn't. I was kidding. But that would sure be awesome.

prole,

It’s not very hard to do these days. Check out my other comment in the thread.

Juice,

Lol yeah that would be nice. I’ve heard of ppl playing it on emulator, but its always a streamer or modding micro celeb.

prole,

It’s actually pretty easy to get working on PC (in 60fps) these days with emulation. Like you get the emulator, and it literally has an option to connect to the bloodborne 60fps rom hack repository within the emulator itself.

Haven’t tried it on Steam Deck specifically, but it worked surprisingly well on my laptop when I tested it out several months back.

Don’t have the link off hand but it’s not hard to find. I could probably find the link if someone really wants it and can’t find it themselves.

EDIT: not sure if counts, but I did a good portion of my BB playthrough on my Deck, streaming from my PS5.

Congrats :)

What weapon did you use?

whotookkarl, do games w Thoughts on the humble bundle this month?

Return to monkey island was pretty fun if you enjoy the originals or telltale versions. The movement and gunplay in d2 was a lot of fun, too bad they screwed up so bad with the expansions and monetization.

DeadDigger, do games w Thoughts on the humble bundle this month?

Well I don’t know this spell force but in general it is a solid game, monkey island is liked by quiet a few ppl, rest is not good or known to me. Would be a hard sell for 15 tbh

_hovi_, do games w Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

Never tried it before but finally playing Enderal (whole game made with the Skyrim engine basically). It’s pretty good so far.

With friends, mostly just The Finals. Still very fun (if you’re into competitive multiplayer)

zrst, do games w bruh, i just realised that the last time i played Garrys Mod,Obama was still president lmao

S&box when?

arudesalad, do games w Thoughts on the humble bundle this month?

Do you think if the others knew they were going in a bundle with destiny they would have also skipped this bundle?
