    Weird, did it die mid game? Or while installing?

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    Just the whole idea of the intent of the rule vs how it gets called on the field sometimes. Hell I've seen flags when it looked like QB's arm gets affected by hit he's taking as he throws it. Of course some of those won't end up in the vicinity of a receiver or make it back to line of...

    Yeah I know there were some that were like "fuck all these minigames" and stuff of that nature, but that IS part of what made OG 7 so fun and them leaving in the wacky humor has been a breath of fresh air. One random thing I've noticed is its good to check on your material supplies and see...

    Well, beating Philly tonight means Caps will be unlikely to sell too much. I think it's a mistake, but if they carefully move an expiring contract or two for something at least I won't be too upset. Granted, to them making even a 1 and done is valuable in their eyes, both for the extra dollars...

    Normal mode does have the level sync for sim missions, too. As for the completion %'s I 100%'d both first 2 outdoor areas. You get a ton of materia that way, and some of the craftable stuff really helps. Everything builds off the exploration, it's pretty well thought out. It's also amazing...

    Honestly found very quickly in Grasslands which ledges were climbable/able to jump down from and which were going to be too high for either. Obviously there's some spots on the map that don't make it super obvious sometimes which way you have to go, but figured that's just part of exploring...

    Easy mode exists, I think there is a "classic" mode that is whatever the "forever turn based only" people thought was fake wait mode, but can't recall. They also added a dynamic difficulty mode which supposedly adjusts to the player.

    Other than a few really bad versions of it. I remember Josh Allen getting flagged where it was clearly an option route for his receiver, and they just had different ideas about whether he should continue the deeper option or cut the route off. He wasn't even directly under pressure.

    It's been essentially perfect so far, and I'm basically as far in as you are. I liked how Midgar was, just wish there was a little more freedom of movement and less fetch sidequests. Seems like they listened to a lot of the feedback from Remake and have improved basically everything for this.

    I must be old, too, running it in Graphics Mode and everything looks pretty damn nice. I can notice a little difference during combat from performance mode, but otherwise that shit doesn't affect anything I do.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Honestly the intel spots are very quick/easy to unlock, and they give you the option to fight 4 different versions of it regardless of how many you unlocked (basically levels of nerfing). Also each one powers up the actual materia you get, unlocking later abilities for the summoned monster...so...

    I had this thought, too. Seems way too good to be true.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Honestly the fact that all the side stuff generally leads to rewards that are beneficial makes them not feel chore like. Always building towards some new materia/upgrade.

    I mean, I expect his voice is supposed to be a little annoying, but I am loving all the stuff to do on the overworld because of "his" content. Having way too much fun 100% OW stuff.

    It's possible you needed a save file from the PS5 version of Part 1. I know there was bonus summon materia for having a save file for Remake on PS5 and another one for a save file from the DLC. Not sure if only having played it on PS4 would apply.

    Believe this only applies to actively pausing during a cutscene and hitting skip.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I'm assuming this game will give a little more clarity on exactly how it's meant to be understood...but I would bet heavily on them still attempting to maintain some "mystery" going into the 3rd and final part b/c they clearly loved all the theory-crafting and guessing about what was going to...

    They finally finished paying back some of the player benefits they had deferred when staying open through covid with no fans, as well, so those broadcast rights deals finally showing the boost they would have already. Think Super Bowl and playoffs had some record viewership numbers this year, too.

    Yeah going to avoid any spoilers, but given how badly some reviewers/etc messed up some of the more obvious info/clues from the first part, not going to take anything said at face value until play through myself.

    Hedman was even helping him to the bench mid play before the whistle blew the play dead. Not great to see. At his age, he might just basically be done if it's something like an Achilles

    Yeah I'm going to try to do a playthrough (at least partial one) for Remake and Intergrade prior to release. If nothing else just to reacquaint with the combat more than anything.

    Not going to lie, still liked it better than Season 2, but the whole Danvers/kid angle made me feel like they were reaching into the old bag of stuff Season 1 with Cohle and his kid and the "connection" he still felt. Also like others mentioned, the random supernatural shit just getting...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    To be fair, quite a lot of people's favorite FF is simply the first one they ever played, for obvious reasons. Unless you're super old fucks like most of us who go back to the original on the NES, which none of us are actually going to pick, of course.

    In many cases? Smaller schools, thus scouts unsure about competition they faced even if they had good/great production. I remember seeing a video of their draft room when they were thinking about picking him and McVay was already talking about how he blocks and how they can use him directly in...

    Just wish the team was doing better as a whole. Not that I expect this roster minus Backstrom and Kuznetsov to be able to do anything of note, but too many games where we'll play hard and have control of parts but never score, meanwhile any decent shift the other way puck ends up in our net.

    So at this point, I pretty much think the only 2 in the conversation with Mahomes are Brady and Montana (or I should phrase it as he's reach their level of the conversation and left everyone else behind). Bradshaw is the only other guy with more rings that isn't Brady or Montana, and there's...

    So straight up, I'm watched this at the bar. I'm debating calling out already tomorrow. Nobody should hate on the 49ers for how they played. Purdy did what he could, the miss on the potential TD to Deebo in the end zone hurt, but that's what pressure does (ask Josh Allen). But it was 2 very...

    I mostly like this suggestion, although I'm not sure the Chargers will come up for Harrison when they can just take Bowers at 5 for another good weapon to add to Keenan Allen. I also have an issue with passing on QB when you have a pick this high and you still need a QB (obviously not sold on...
