    FFVII: Ever Crisis Announced

    When I saw the silhouette on the JP Twitter last night, I was thinking that this might be what they were doing, especially because of the aforementioned Cait Sith Easter costume, and this is a BRILLIANTLY funny way to set up for that using April Fools as an indirect reveal. X :neo:

    Elden Ring

    y halo thar, nice ta see you as well :mon: I think that the reason PvP hasn't ever really been that intriguing to me in the Souls games (aside from vastly preferring PvE type games) is that it predicates itself around the community self-defining a sort of expected fair for duels like the Level...

    Legendary Pictures' Godzilla

    EXACTLY. The reason that the writing is so frustrating is that there are SO MANY WAYS to have easily addressed the contradictory decisions being made to have them make sense and feel justified – but there's a MASSIVE lack of exposition where it would support things that need it, and actually...

    Legendary Pictures' Godzilla

    So, I have a REALLY hard time considering New Empire a "Godzilla" film – because it's inherently a King Kong movie where Godzilla is a fundamentally misused plot device, but my issues with the film go a LOT deeper than that. To start with, it's important to remember that King of the Monsters...

    Alien Romulus

    It's set between Alien & Aliens which is interesting since it means that Ripley's still out floating through space so exactly how much is known about the Xenomorphs by the company is still an interesting question, especially given how Ripley's account about her experience isn't immediately...

    Last Film You've Seen

    Godzilla X Kong TBH, it felt more like it should have been called "Kong X Godzilla" as Godzilla was essentially just a convenient plot device, and the story was almost entirely centered full-time on Kong. The writing was kind of just a mess all over and the pacing is SUPER weird. The main...

    Hopes for Remake & Rebirth (story/content)

    I believe that this is the new thread that the posts were moved to. Additionally, I'm going to rename & take this thread back out into the main section since Lex moved all the Rebirth-specific posts out of it. X :neo:

    Last Film You've Seen

    Dune: Part II Saw this over the weekend and it's REALLY good. Haven't done a proper back-to-back viewing of Part One & Two, which I think would be amazing to have all together, but I'll likely end up waiting until they're released digitally or on BluRay before doing that as then I'll be able...

    Elden Ring

    It really is surprising just how much everything about the game has stuck with me in the same way. Like, I feel like I enjoy it DIFFERENTLY than the way in which I enjoy basically any other game I can think of. I believe that the Scarlet Aeonia there is likely intended to be a bloom of one of...

    Elden Ring

    The Carian Sword Sorceries have some neat non-projectile options, but they feel rather same-y in a similar way. I am hoping that Glintstone magic gets a few more interesting types of spells beyond the bulk being swords & magic projectiles. A lot of the more interesting Incantations & Sorceries...

    Final Fantasy XVI

    Man, this reminds me that I still need to go check out the first bit of FFXVI DLC, but especially with it having some more overall epilogue stuff attached to it (and Tonberry weaponry). X :neo:

    Elden Ring

    Glad to provide! There's VERY little on the Deathbirds and they underwent a LOT of changes between, 1.00 & release with the Ghostflame originally not being Frostbite and also being the same as the Black Flame. About the only iconography of the mother of the Deathbirds is on the shield and also...

    Elden Ring

    Yeah, the final battles really have a particular sense of wonder about them, but especially the first time that the battle music kicks in for both of them. Placidusax is another one of those ones that really struck me with a particular sense of awe because you can just look around the arena at...

    Elden Ring

    Like Yop said, Elden Ring is FAR AND AWAY the most accessible Souls style game. The Legacy Dungeon sections all let you meander in and out of them at your own pace, there are summons & magic and you can really get a build going pretty quickly that will make it so that you don't feel overly...

    Elden Ring

    So, randomly within about a day of when I was mentioning it, there's someone who I saw get RTd on Twitter who just compiled a MASSIVE list of differences between the 1.00 and release builds of Elden Ring. It doesn't include almost any of the differences in the lore descriptions, but it's an...

    Playstation 5

    Dude, the absolutely BRUTAL layoffs constantly eviscerating the heart of the gaming industry (and a lot of other niches of software work) the last two years has been overwhelmingly gutting and I HATE IT with every fiber of my being. Speaking as someone who watched MULTIPLE waves of layoffs...

    Elden Ring

    February 3rd last year is when my primary playthrough capped out at 1000 hours :awesomonster: Elden Ring just happened to drop at a particular time that REALLY grabbed my brain especially on top of what I was working on at the time. I've been doing a bunch of related research on the design...

    Elden Ring

    As someone who's dropped... well over 1500 hours into this game between both the release version as well as the exclusive-to-on-disc-PS5 1.0 version of the game, it would be an understatement to say that I am QUITE looking forward to this. Given that I am the kind of person who's been buried...

    Naruto Anime/Manga (Manga Spoilers Not Tagged) [WSJ]

    The stage play adaptation is still WAY more awesome than it had any right to be, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for this. X :neo:

    FFVII: Ever Crisis Announced

    JUST AS A WARNING: The Nibelheim section was the Rebirth cutscenes but sort of truncated with the text summary like a cliffnotes version of what happened. That was fine because the Demo of that was out... ...but the new content is the same thing for the Grasslands section – which is literally...
