I maintain that FF8 is mostly only loved when people have nostalgia for it, or they love the card game, or they love breaking the battle system (generally by using the card game).
I was playing through the series, and 8 was my biggest disappointment.
I believe the issue is that Yuzu was patched to support TotK before TotK was released, which could suggest having used some proprietary code, or at least stuff that the devs shouldn’t have had access to.
They could also make the argument that very few people would’ve downloaded the game if the emulator didn’t exist or at least wasn’t being patched to support a game before it releases.
They definitely didn’t lose 1,000,000 sales. At the same time, I feel like it kind of crosses a line to be pirating a game before it’s even supposed to be sold in stores.
They’re saying that a lot of the contemporary cutting edge 3D graphics of the PS1 era looked ugly. But they did it to be cutting edge.
However, if they’d stuck to more traditional art styles (e.g, as could be seen in games like Chrono Trigger), then the games could’ve still looked good today.
They’re not saying all SNES games look better than all PS1 games. They’re saying that we had the capability to make games that still look good today, and we had that capability for years before the PS1 came out. They chose not to use that capability to be cutting edge. And the other commenters are lamenting that.
Of course, I can’t blame them for pushing 3D graphics back then. Especially because they would’ve needed to practice with them before they could get better. Late PS1 games had some decent looking 3D, IIRC.

Well, as a guy, I’ve been asked multiple times why I systematically play games female characters in video games, to the point of skipping a game if I’m forced to pay a male one, with a few exceptions (I really liked Albus from Troubleshooters for example). Whenever there’s romance in a game, I’ll also take the F/F route....
Male. If I can make a character, I’ll make a male character almost every time, especially on a first run. Or if the character is otherwise a placeholder for "me* in the game.
That said, I love when games give us female protagonists that aren’t sexualized (think FF6), and I’d love to see more of that.
So, do I prefer to play as a male character? It depends.
I’d like to see some good takes on “female perspective” in games. But if it’s basically an aesthetic difference, I’m making a character that matches my gender because it’s supposed to be “me” in the game.
Lmao, it doesn’t make them look weak. It makes them look strong – standing up against subtle bigotry and dogwhistles despite potential backlash?
I’d say that’s strong.
Someone trying to make a mod (that reproduces built-in functionality) to use as a platform to essentially promote racism? That’s incredibly weak. It screams “I can’t handle people or companies being more socially aware than me”.
And then whining about it on social media? That’s also weak. Host it yourself (not you specifically) if making that mod is so important to you.
But punching down is never “strong”. It’s always weak. That mod is punching down. Making that mod is punching down. Wanting or using that mod is punching down. Weak.
It feels like the title of this post should’ve been the body. I read the title and had no idea what this post was about until I opened up the post and saw the picture, lol

I get where you’re coming from, but ads don’t just want people talking, they want to turn people into buyers.
After the success of the PS2, virtually their entire market knew about the PS3. But even with those weird ads and their previous massive success with the PS2, the PS3 was selling terribly poorly around the time of the baby ad, IIRC.
It always seemed like “Baby’s first GTA” to me, but I think the Spyro the Dragon series might scratch that same itch. Especially the second and third games on the PS1.
