I wanna share some thoughts about FF7 Rebirth after completing it. tl;dr the game is SO GOOD when they just do new flashy versions of the original story (pic related). Most of the new ideas are bad though. The exception is the stuff related to Jessie.

Spoilers following.

In Rebirth you watch a recording of a show that Jessie did at the Gold Saucer and it is a very powerful emotional moment. Jessie being a famous actor is the only new idea that worked in Rebirth. Everything else is so stupid. It grinds my gears so much that instead of getting Rocket Town, we get stupid chocobo minigames, alternate timeline Zack, and some literally who Wutai commander talking to Rufus Don't you think they could have used that energy to make Rocket Town instead of just skipping it? The whole Rocket Town scenario just doesn't happen in FF7 Rebirth, and that is BS.

PS. Oh yeah, a new idea that was good is the Vincent boss battle. That was fucking metal, brutal, edgy. Like some PS2 Devil May Cry shit. Although it is preceded by Cait Sith box elevator puzzles.. one of the worst things in any video game ever. The only thing that got me through that horror is pure love for FF7, I tell ya.

Oh yeah it is hilarious at the beginning of the game with the Nibelheim sheriff. "Sephiroth, you sick son of a bitch!!". That was so funny. It was like watching a B horror movie, but a B horror movie that is actually really good and the actors put in a great enthusiastic performance.

Pre-rendered backgrounds with 3D assets should've remained until at least the 2010s for certain genres. I'm pretty sure much of the love for the golden age of Final Fantasy (VII- IX) and the early Resident Evil games is due to the highly detailed nature of pre-rendered graphics. The worlds depicted felt more alive and lived in, meaning kids could imagine themselves in it more easily.

It's just a factor that nobody really picks up on when discussing these games. I remember my Grandma watching me play through the Winhill sequence in Final Fantasy VIII and going on about how beautiful the village looked. I don't think you could've had anything comparable in detail in full 3D for at least fifteen years, and not anything as consistently pretty over the course of a full game until around today.

Final Fantasy X was sort of a graphical step down in a sense of so much being plain, flat and ugly. So much so that when you step into a pre-rendered background house, you're taken back by how detailed that is compared to the ugly flatness of the outside.

>And why did the point & click genre die out?
Most were really really bad and even the good ones didn't sell that well.
With very few exceptions they have always had relatively poor sells compared to most other kinds of games.


As for why modern games don't use prerendered backgrounds as much, while you still see them in indie titles on occasion the main reason is the technology has moved on and now you don't have the same hardware limitations that prevent you from actually rendering stuff in the distance instead of faking it with a painting. You can have as many complex polygons within a scene as you want provided your programing is decent. Prerendering has always been a cope for technical limitations.

I do remember some of the areas from ff8. Great salt lake, Tomb of the Unknown King, fisherman's harbor, Lunatic Pandora, Esthar city under attack. The victory arch at Deling…

Resident evil on the harder settings where you're expected to dodge zombies is miserable because of the camera angles. Point and click doesn't really resemble modern games in the way we think of them and often had quite bizarre object interactions that were rarely intuitive. They'd often lock you into encounters where you couldn't even get the necessary items through backtracking without an earlier save state.

i know it's an unpopular opinion but i liked the first one a lot more. the gameplay is simple, too simple perhaps but i never felt like dropping it like i did multiple times with 3 (i got bored after fighting the farmers in indonesia or something). the dismount and capture stuff feel superflous, and the limited party size is a massive downgrade. the first game had a much more compelling cast and story too.

Rabbits are cute. Succubi (2d) can be cute. Babies are cute. Unless he's a still on all fours, a boy isn't to be seen as "cute" no matter how much like a baby rabbit succubi he is drawn as. Not calling boys cute in spite of their appearance is a matter of respect for the male sex. Boys and men can be many things, from cool to creepy to scary to just plain stupid. To call them cute is to degrade not only the male himself but also that word, which is reserved for those deserving of and [/b]reliant on[/b] endearment from larger beings.

Legend Of Zelda (pre-Wii). Final Fantasy. Mother series. Megaman. Many young males characters are in these games, main and supporting. They are diverse in appearance and behavior, but none are designed to be 'cute'. These games predate the mentally challenged design philosophy of androgynizing everyone by turning cute witchies in to buff succubi and cool guys in to "cute" boys. Shame on Toby "Fucks Dogs" Fox. for pandering to such mentally maladjusted men - and succubi who degrade men and boys - with such labels and pet names by drawing "cute boiz UwU". It's infantilism. And yes, this cretin frequently elates at the fact that people recognize his character design's purposeful queerness and age-play.

That makes a lot of sense. I'm still a fairly young apprentice, the thought would have never crossed my mind unless you informed me. I'll stop demeaning boys by refering to them as if they were pets or toddlers. Thank you.

TL;DR— Nice plot but otherwise $10 Walmart bin game

* YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY WIN. Beating the story missions just unlocks free-roam instead of, idk, escaping the hellscape you're in.

* Fag/troon/lesbo/pedo stickers are unlocked by default and you have to get a mod to remove them

* You get absolutely no clue where to find mid/late game resources or how to harvest them. Not even from the 3 people on the radio who are supposedly trying to help you.

* Lore snippets are actually well written but finding all of them is a horribly long grind

* Some of the upgrades are literally useless and expensive to boot.

* Can't decorate, upgrade or change the auto shop office at all.

* Object detail is not that amazing but your GPU will sound like a jet engine.

* Can get locked into an unwinnable mission in several ways with very little or no warning.

* No minigames at your home base, nothing to do at all besides FIX TEH CAR

* Surplus energy collected from 'anchors' builds up very quick in lategame (cuz you collect anchors on EVERY TRIP_) but there's nothing to do with it all.

In this thread, ask other wizards for game recommendations.

I'm starting a new thread to look for wizards who played lots of city building games. I'm looking to get immersed in one of those games and I mean I want to completely forget this world exists. I don't have a preference for theme, though I would prefer not to play anything medieval. However if you played ton of these games and the one you think it's the best happens to be medieval themed I don't mind, let me know. Thanks in advance.

>have you played dd2 yet?
I finished the game yesterday. There are problems inside the cities where the performance tanks really bad, but if you can enable frame generation you can workaround this, outside the cities it runs as it should, so it seems like a problem with too many human NPCs walking around. You could get swarmed by enemies out in the wild where weather effects and lightning, etc. are happening and you won't see the problem occur.

The game is carried by the gameplay and exploration, which is really good, it's a bit more streamlined than the first one so I think newer players will have a better time playing this one instead.

The microtransaction drama was overblown, you can buy camp kits and teleport stones, but those items are also available in game for regular gold and are very cheap, you also find a ton of them in chests and rewards, the cash shop is just there for lazy people. It shouldn't be there in the first place, but it's nothing that really affects gameplay, there are a lot of other games that have much worse cash shops and people seem to not care about them.

If you like games like MH you will enjoy this for sure, it's one of those games that you play for the gameplay and not so much for story.

>also why a new game is having problem with tones of npc but old game like assassin's creed don't have any?! lol.

Bad optimization. You could get swarmed by hundreds of enemies out in the wild plus some dragon shows up and the game will run smoothly, but the moment you enter the main city performance tanks.

>exploration. isn't the map of the game the same as the first dragon's dogma? or I'm completly wrong

The map is like 3 times bigger at least and it's better structured. The first one has better story and endgame (but this is because the first game comes with the DLC already), also has more jobs and abilities, but the second game feels better to play in my opinion.

 No.62461

The combat especially the magic is dumbed down and casualized trash.
It's really fun in DD1 in 2 it's braindead.
