Final Fantasy VII Remake, when the proper Jenova theme played. Props to the hours of auditory misdirect leading up to it.
“We wouldn’t just play it, of course. That song is too silly for a dramatic scene. But here is a subdued motif to remind you of it.”
“Well we have to play it now because there’s a new Jenova fight but you’re getting the respectable cinematic version.”
“Now the fight’s really getting going, you’re getting the upper hand so time to boost the epicness and heroicness during the climax. Isn’t this song so cool now that we fixed it?”
Then the synthesizer finally kicks in and it’s the most beautiful thing you’ve ever heard.
Still the best engineered bang for your Buck/power draw card ever created in my eyes. Power draw of a lightbulb and I put it side by side with my freinds Xbox one at release and beat its performance.
It’s like we’re returning to the early 00s lol. I used to rock a 450w psu in my 750ti build. :( granted I use a 650w today but my rx580 SND Ryzen 5 1500x is getting dated when it comes to new releases.
This is the first year I really don’t meeet requirements. Don’t know what to do with this market lol
Yes, precisely. These days, when I consider buying a game, if it doesn’t have LAN, private servers, or direct connections, I treat the multiplayer as though it doesn’t exist, because one day it won’t.
Thought that was just stat quo since call of duty or madden started pumping out annual games. I never checked but I assume I can’t boot up Madden 2011 and still find servers to play on.
I’ll always be able to play World at War multiplayer because it supports LAN and player-hosted servers.
I don’t know if the newer ones support LAN or hosting our own servers, but if they don’t then it would mean we’re essentially renting access to the game’s multiplayer features.
It really means we’re going backwards just to make businesses richer than us even richer at our expense.
They’ve been putting out annual releases for a long time, and Call of Duty used to still have LAN. It doesn’t look like Madden ever had LAN, from a quick search of the old covers, which would list the features the game supported, but it was pretty common even in console games back then.
Can confirm, I remember when Madden introduced online multiplayer, and there was a small kerfuffle because there was no way to bypass their servers. I remember having the conversation with my buddies that it didn’t matter, because we would all prefer to play together on the couch in the same room, and playing strangers on the internet didn’t sound appealing.
Yeah, I’ve never played Madden online. That’s very much a couch game to me still. Not that I’ve played it much in years. I picked up my first copy in over a decade a couple years ago when it was on sale at the end of the season.
This whole movement really highlights how hard it is to get the word out for me. Fediverse isn't a huge place as it is, relative to other online spaces. But every time SKG related topics surfaces there are always people who have never heard about it and people talking about misconceptions that Ross has addressed many times.
I love how my boy 750ti is in there. My first real gpu and my favorite because it was a time when NVIDIA was showing interest in getting the most bang out of lower power draw. That went out the window
Daggerfall is my favorite Elder Scrolls game and what the community has done for it is amazing. A lot of people hate the dungeon design but honestly its my favorite part. I love how mazelike they are and I have become very good at navigating them. The immersion is good too if you can wrap your head around it. Most quests having a deadline really makes you question whether or not you can fit that 8 hour rest in. Caught a disease from a rat? You wont know it until later when you start feeling too sick to travel. Cursed with lycanthropy? Better get out of town when the full moon hits. I wish they had stuck to this formula for elder scrolls games but as others in the fanbase have pointed out, these mechanics have been thrown out in favor of attracting a broader audience which sucks but I understand
The immersion is so much fun to get involved with. It can get a little frustrating at times, but damn is it so cool most of the time. The scale of the world is probably my favorite part. Having something of that size just makes it feel so much more immersive
