And that's where you derail your argument from the start! How can it be the best game of all time when Final Fantasy 8 exist?

I'm only going by my experience with tb jrpgs over the years. I can't claim to have played them all but I have played a lot of different ones and they all mostly boil down to doing that. I'm playing Star Rail right now and despite being a gacha it still mostly revolves around using the correct element to break the enemy's toughness meter. I'm not anti turn based in general, I think crpgs and strategy rpgs do that much better, but I just don't see value in how jrpgs do it.
As for parts of remake's combat not matching the original I think some of that was the decision to keep it in midgar. They already took a lot of liberties by having way more materia (and summons) in what amounts to 10% of the original game, like by the end of 7R you have I think nearly 10 summons and literally dozens of other materia as one would expect from a "full" game. But they did leave out as much as they could like there's no comet or ultima materias. That being said the freedom to make anyone in your party into a variety of "classes" is still in 7R. You can make Barret your healer if you want or a mage in general, but like in the original each character has certain base stats that are higher/lower than others (Aerith always had the highest magic stats in the original and it's the same here). There's some pretty crazy builds you can do with the right combination of materia and weapon choices.
The definition of insanity is paying Ubisoft for the same game over and over again, in the hope that this time it’ll be different. A subscription just ensures they’re scamming more cash out of you, and you don’t even own it in the end.
I’ve seen total conversion mods with more differentiation to their original game than Ubisoft titles differentiate from each other.

My keyboard horror story was recent - the 8bitdo Famicom wireless I had was acting funny, a bunch of keys not working etc. I packed it up and brought it back to the store for a replacement, and when the store guy removed it from the plastic a bunch of water spilled out.
As it turns out, my toddler son dumped half a glass of water on it while i wasnt looking. Needless to say, I didnt get a replacement that day.
did you just reach across time and space to kick Montresor in the nuts? Damn!The way forward is actually very simple,
2026, Square Enix holds a press conference.
The following is announced

You see the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters.
I, II, III, IV, V, VI... the screen fades to black.
FINAL FANTASY XVII
Releasedate 2027
A fully fledged JRPG in the style of the traditional 6.
The I from FFXVII duplicates, it now reads FFXVIII.
Suddenly, scenes from FFVII, VIII and IX are playing.
Oh yes, FFXVIII will be a fully fledged final fantasy, featuring ATB combat, low poly character models and prerenderd backgrounds.
Releasedate 2028
"ONE MORE"
Final Fantasy XIX is revealed, A Turn-Based return to Ivalice in PS2 Graphics.
Releasedate 2029
Of course all coming day 1 to xbox and gamepass
I was actually doing the math on that article.
Ubisoft+ costs 17.99 a month. Ubisoft games are usually 50% off on the standard ed within a month or two, and 75% on the gold/ultimate ed within a year.
If you bought all the Ubigames within a calendar year at their lowest discount within the year, youd have the same content as you would by subscribing, but for far less money... and you retain a license.

Erased a Man's Name. Good little story.
The infinite wealth demo is cool and fun so far (longer than I thought too). Hopefully the PC version doesn't suck.
That Ubisoft Prince of Persia game is getting really good reviews. I don't suppose it's available anywhere except Ubi trash stores? Goddammit.

I know their games are usually short, but he seems so fast developing those games
This new Ubisoft talk prompted me to look at their share price. They are basically only big gaming publisher that is trending down. All other publishers are just going up with smaller ups and downs. Ubisoft reached peak at 2018 with 102€ per share and now they are at 22€ per share. They are doing great obviously.
I used to love their output so much (pre-2005, I'd say)?
I can't even say I actively avoid any of their products because I just don't care. When one of their games pops up somewhere, it has as much an effect as when I "see" an ad... My mind just filters them out. My synapses instantly become teflonized and nothing sticks.
The Prologue for Artifact Sekker is out now
It has achievements + Exclusive event and artifact colab with another Indie game Bio Prototype
Save will carry over to full game.

So much wisdom for free, you usually have to spend hundreds on expensive game conferences to learn this.
And lot of this applies outside Game Industry too
Seems publishers are pushing people again to pirate their games. That bugiesoft article was hilarous.
That said pretty pathetic Bamco announcing Eddy Gordo as a DLC pay chatacter for tekken 8 more than a week before the release date with a trailer and like the character is already done just to milk players. Can fuck them all.

Pirate their games and give the money to Indie developers instead.
Ubisoft reworks subscription plan, hopes players will forget about ownership
The French publisher has some interesting ideas about what needs to happen for its streaming service to take flight.
I'm perfectly fine with not owning Ubisoft games. In fact, I haven't been for years!
That's a great idea but in reality 99% aren't even worth getting for free.
Just give your attention to indies that deserve it.

This you?
Ubisoft delists The Crew, with servers shutting next year
Games that aren't worth my money are also not worth my limited time on this planet. I'll play more indie games instead.

For curio's sake (and being tempted, eh) I launched Ubishit to see if their premium sub gives me access to PoP.
And for the second day in a row, the 'store' and 'Ubi+' tabs of the app DO NOT LOAD.
Okay.

I think the free DLC is for the complete edition buyer (The Necronomicon edition)
Sure, but I have no idea if I bought the complete edition. I think so, but... And they changed the name of the edition for fun and giggles.
There is also this bizarre part I can't make head or tail about :
'Due to certain limitations, we were forced to add the DLC directly to the Investigator Pack, rather than as separate items.'
I suppose I will simply wait 24-48 hours and see what's up. This is confusing.
It’s not about money for R*, it’s partly about control/domination, and also overzealous lawyers looking for a payday.
Call me a sicko, but I kinda appreciate their niche. Softcore to the maxxx. Game that got banned got released over at GoG, EGS and Jast.
Square Enix confirms Foamstars contains some AI generated art | VGC
The game’s development team used Midjourney to create in-game icons…
www.videogameschronicle.com
I'm impressed they admitted it though they try to pull off damage control by saying things like "it's 0.01% of the game" so they know how unpopular this will be lol.
This is gamers' first real test for AI here. We're officially in the starting phase of a new awful thing in this industry where they dip their toes in the water to gauge people's reaction and see if they'll be able to get away with more. Naturally like most other things it starts in a MP game because that audience has the lowest standards of anyone and it's usually why these tactics eventually succeed. It may not with this game because this game already had flop written all over it but publishers watch and learn. If it flops but they see minimal to no outrage over the AI then someone else will absolutely push further.
I expect nothing from gamers but who knows maybe for once they'll actually stop repeating the same cycle for 20+ years and we'll stop the industry from getting a bit worse.
They don't make anything good and decided to double down even more on Assassin's Creed which got them in hot water in the mid 2010s when burnout happened but they learned nothing apparently. Other than the mario rabbid games I can't think of anything remotely decent they made in the last 6+ years it's all the same soulless open world trash or awful MP games.
I feel like everyone only talks about that one game. But not the ones that I mentioned for some reason.

It's a real shame that Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown isn't on Steam... I went through the process of getting it running on my Deck OLED, and it otherwise feels like a perfect fit. Probably the only Ubisoft game I've given a shit about in close to a decade.
They won't release PoP on Steam but they will this?
I would have bought it day one on Steam. I know I can use Heroic or emulate the Switch version , but franky I'm too lazy to mess with that.
Just wait till you restart your Deck for some reason and UbiConnect conveniently forgets your login.
Truly a client that makes you question if humanity is worthy of survival.
It's really not that hard to get Ubisoft Connect working in Game Mode, but yeah I get it.
