How can you enjoy this game?

I admit I found his 'Aerith's retarded house' comment about the Hellhouse funny

Spoiler: The rest of it just makes me pull this face:

^ Yeah he had some good stuff going in the beginning but then it all sort of went downhill from there. Better luck next time - remember that in order to draw anime, you need to be skilled at the classic arts as well. Meaning - learn your shit, THEN start making fun of it

Oh, and

I would much rather spend my time reading Sprite review Umatbru's reviews of games than read his actual reviews

Tres you always know how to make me laugh these days

 

[Celes Chere]

i read the article and

The game's name is stupid (if its the 7th game then it cant be final)

 

[Umatbru]

Alright I made an another attempt to get out of the train graveyard and this time I succeeded. I then climbed up the sector 7 plate to fight my second or third boss (alongside tifa and barret), a man in black or blue called Reno. Reno was setting up a bomb to collapse the plate onto the slums, which he does. Afterwards barret throws a fit and yells "this is all screwed up".

Ladies and gentlemen, Barret is aware, just like cloud. DUN DUN DUN!

I'm not into RPGs all that much, let alone weak-by-today's-standarts ATB system, but I still consider FF7 to be one of the greatest video games ever made, mostly for the epic story it tells.

For my last playthrough, I just used cheats to disable random encounters, maxstat the party and go through the story using default & canon weapons, lol.

ATB was horrible even in 1997. As the great Yahtzee says,

How about we just walk up to the enemy and press one button that bonks him on the head?

Especially true in a world where the elder scrolls exists.

So, you're basically complaining that the game wasn't of a different genre? Might as well be bitching that you can't perform a Hadouken in "Gran Turismo."

 

[Octo]

Street Fighter Racing - this needs to happen.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

How can you find this game difficult, Umatbru? I'm baffled. I was a total noob when I played it and even I didn't die as many times as you seem to.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Seriously, the game is easy as fuck. I'd hate to see what you'd have to say about "Battletoads" or "Shatterhand."

 

[Blade]

You know, there's such a thing as a game "aging well".

I can say with certainty that games like Street Fighter Alpha and the original 1998 version of Guilty Gear: The Missing Link relatively "aged well" (especially given Guilty Gear Xrd: Sign is coming this winter!)

But with Final Fantasy VII... well you have to understand that it's the first game after Final Fantasy VI (obvious numbers are obvious but the thing is, it was a huge jump from SNES to Playstation at the time).

And the game after Final Fantasy VII is FFVIII (which is not as bad but actually better despite what people think as far as graphics and gameplay go).

More importantly, the reason FFVII is so well-liked despite not having aged well is because you weren't born yet most likely.

Most of us were in high school or grade school when FFVII was popular... which isn't saying much because young people think EVERYTHING is cool when they're that age.

Steampunk and Cyberpunk was a THING in the 80's and 90's... people who are in their late 20s and early 30s still think it is a thing because that's what they grew up on.

You aren't obligated to like it, but understand where some of the older fanbase are coming from.

Also the game has a built in tutorial so you have no excuse other than impatience and incapability to press the X button to read said tutorial (not to mention reading the INSTRUCTION MANUAL).

so the key to a good rpg is:

be simple in story and gameplay

apparently it's to not be an RPG at all

I definitely enjoy me some Yahtzee, but this is the first person I've found with such a raging hard-on for him.

I'm not yahtzee, but I sure do love him and he's my inspiration for my reviews.

Also I need to find a battery to power some thing above the wall near wall market. Any clues? Now excuse me i'm going to play Half-Life.

 

[Cat Rage Room]

Check the weapons shop.

Learn how to play a video game.

I'm surprised this troll person knows what Half-Life is.

 

[Umatbru]

Check the weapons shop.

I've checked and its not there. Maybe in the weapons shop in wall market?

 

[Airling]

You have to talk to the guy in the back of the shop if I remember correctly.

Thats what I did. But when I plugged in the battery all it did was cause a propeller to whirr for few seconds, then nothing.

 

[Cat Rage Room]

The propeller whizzing moves the blade out of your way, allowing you to proceed.

 

[Octo]

I can't wait for the temple of the ancients bit

 

[Blade]

I can't wait for you to get lost in the Train Graveyard.

 

[Cat Rage Room]

He's past that part of the game.

 

[Sprites]

I can't believe you did a review for this when you're only heading to the Shinra building now, absolutely ridiculous!

 

[Ⓐaron]

I can. It's the exact same amount of intellectual rigour he's supplied to every other post he's made in this thread.
