Sounds like this new game is indeed the original Valkyrie Profile, just re re re remade. If it's comparable in look and sound (the things I liked about the original) it might be worth a run for me. I've already got a game traffic jam at the moment though so it'll have to be real close to the...

Soon as I watched the first clip I was about 80% sure it was staged by him. He's standing off to the left side of the screen to make room for where the ghost is in the shot, then it appears right after he says "mass grave". If you want something to look real it needs to be hard to spot, off the...

Is that Valkyrie Profile game on 9/29 a remaster of the original one on PS1? I always wanted to play it back in the day but never got a chance to and never looked into what kinds of remakes are available. I suppose now it'd be easy enough to get ahold of the original in some form, but, you...

Just realized, if the villains of this movie are the French... I just recently watched Prey, and it also had French guys as the villains, and they were really gross and despicable. What's with the sudden onslaught of anti-frenchmen movies? What'd France do? They're like the most racially...

Probably. At this point I default to "there's more to the story" in literally all of these old cases. Like how the "Tulsa race riot" was more about a black dude being arrested for attempted rape and then a mob of black dudes with guns showed up at the courthouse demanding his immediate...

Yeah, that writeup at least sounds balanced and factual rather than a full-on BJ from someone who uses the term "slay queen" in casual speech unironically.

Crisis Core is good, yeah. I'm guessing they're remaking it because Zack is going to figure into FF7R Pt 2. ...which I still totally disagree with, but I'm glad to see CC finally get a console version. I'm sure FFT will get remastered sooner or later. Last I checked it got a version on PSP or...

I think FF7R also had way too much Sephiroth. The original game did a fantastic job building him up, and you don't even see what he looks like until Kalm Town. Here, he's popping up like 30 minutes into the game to spout absolute nonsense while posing for the camera and looking all badass and...

Yeah I'm a little worried about whether or not I'll be able to handle Rondo of Blood. We'll see in a few weeks. The past month I knocked off: -Ys Memories of Celceta -Ys VIII -Resident Evil 1 Remastered -Resident Evil 2 Remake (well, shortly, I got to the final area) -Cuphead Cuphead in...

ABC giving the movie a full-on BJ for making $19m on opening weekend. Wow. If it's #1 it's because nothing else came out that weekend.

In rapid succession we've got this, BP2, and the Emmitt Till movie. The "hate yourself" propaganda seems to be in full swing again. I've been waiting for anyone on the left to acknowledge the realities of the slave trade for a while now and I expect I'll keep waiting. Note: I'm in no way...

I'm not talking about standard Final Fantasy la la land. I'm talking about veering away from the FF7 story and into something nonsensical that has a stronger resemblance to Kingdom Hearts. FF7R was fine until Chapter 18.

This guy's channel is tremendous. He generally presents evidence in a concise way without reaching a definitive conclusion, encouraging the viewer to do their own critical thinking. That's particularly good for kids, who definitely aren't taught much critical thinking in school anymore. I've...

I just remember games being announced more one at a time before this year. Now it's 3+ announced together for the next several years like a Marvel press release.

What's with game companies now announcing huge batches of games all at once? Square-Enix did it a few months ago, Ubisoft just did it with AC, now the Yakuza studio has done it. Are they emulating Marvel announcing a phase of movies all at once?

3 new Yakuza games on the way: -Yakuza Ishin (prequel taking place in 1800s, remake of an old Japan-only game, looks amazing) - Early 2023 -Yakuza Gaiden (what Kiryu was up to during the events of LAD/Y7) - Late 2023? -Yakuza 8 (Ichiban from LAD and Kiryu team up, not sure if it'll be a brawler...

The setting is Miami. They've used every setting in the series twice except Miami so it's due up.

As I understand it, the movie is definitely going off of the Cobra Kai continuity. It'll have Daniel and Johnny and probably Kreese in it, same actors. Hard to imagine Samantha being "the karate kid" because she isn't actually that good at it, but probably the route they're going. Again I'm...

It's full-on, comparable to FF7 Remake. A bunch of stuff is changed and some of the story didn't make it in, as I understand it. Specifically a lot of the Claire/Leon interactions. When they meet up at the fence and she's so happy to see him, it really comes out of left field since some of...

I was under the impression that when I beat the game as Claire I swap to Leon...then when I finish that, play it over again as Leon and swap to Claire? I'm kinda considering just finishing Claire's first scenario and calling it a day. I'd like to get some more out of the game but I don't know...

Some people are gonna gobble up whatever they're served for the FF7R remakes and like it. I'll also play all of 'em but I still think the timey-wimey convoluted bullshit is unnecessary and adds nothing. People wanted a remake, maybe with some new plot twists and new areas, but not with the story...

Movie announced for 2024, working title Karate Kid. So it looks like instead of a Season 7, we're getting a movie. I'm guessing the movie will be the World Tournament (what I expected S7 to be) and S6, if it happens, will be leading up to the WT. I bet Robbie ends up being the main character of...

Just ran into Mr. X for the first time. God damn! The game became like 2x as good immediately. Every time I hear footsteps I freak out. This is probably as close as we'll ever get to a Terminator: Isolation type game where you have to run from a relentless terminator.

How do these A/B things work? You beat half the game and it gives you a choice of who to play the second half with? Skimming this thread it looks like I should switch to Leon whenever this happens (playing as Claire)? Like Claire A, Leon B? Then play the game over again and reverse them...

FINISHED RESIDENT EVIL 1 REMASTERED Sorry, that one's been really hard for me to get into and I've had it for five years. It was in all of my planned game lists during the backlog challenges, but I never got to it. Final time 13 hours, which seems pretty long for an RE game. I got lost a LOT...

Yeah, and I'm glad it is. Being PS5-only allowed them to really maximize the game for that system without having to worry about it working on other systems. As a result it has the best visuals I've ever seen in a console game, and the second or third* best-feeling controls with the DualSense...

Oh yeah, no problem. This is a chart for the infamous "demo rating" that advertisers use to determine what a show is worth nowadays. Goes back one year (so it doesn't have Rampage's high-rated first few episodes anymore, alas). Blue - Smackdown, which will probably always be at the top due to...

Dynamite and RAW are about to touch tips again! All of the "ratings are gonna tank now that people know Punk is gone, the real test is next week" people from last week are going to have to crawl back under their rocks because the viewership went up this week and it'll go up again next week.

They had a super-passionate makeout sesh when she appeared as an extra on Dynamite like 6 months ago. (Yes, she's the redhead from the segment where he was the King). I don't think he's ever actually publicly acknowledged her before now.

I just recently picked up... Well damn

I was gonna ask if this was worth watching, but it sounds like it is For a long time I had two shows left on my unwatched sci fi shows list: Deep Space Nine and Battlestar (2000's one). I'm most of the way done with DS9. Should I replace Battlestar with Babylon 5? Keep in mind that I watched the...

It's not a work, could be turned into one eventually if Punk weren't brimming with undiagnosed bipolar disorder.

I agree. Just remember to die in Nexus (and re-nerf your HP) every time you defeat a boss. You never want to be in un-nerfed HP form because deaths in that form will make the world you're in tougher. The hardest level I've ever played in a Souls game was World 4 of DeS with the world difficulty...

He doesn't have it in him. Punk coming back as an uber-heel and having a PPV match with Omega would print money. Omega would likely be willing to do it, but I doubt Punk would. Matter of fact it's probably the furthest thing from his mind. And if it comes down to Punk or The Elite, Punk's the...

About 3 hours, pretty much equivalent to two chapters of the main game. A good time to play it is actually right about where you are now, before going to the tower.
