Whoever that SoM composer is, they're probably my third-favorite game composer behind Yasunori Mitsuda and Hitoshi Sakimoto. ...yeah I've never been as into Uematsu's work as other people, but he's probably #4 if it helps. I thought Octopath was an actual Square game, not a pseudo-indie Square...

Finished Resident Evil 2, almost done with Live-a-Live on Switch, basically on the final chapter. Friend came over and got me to play Grand Theft Auto V for the first time. So now I'm playing that. Finishing the TLOU2 slog (which I'm about 25-30% of the way through) was next, but forget that...

Just had a thought, maybe someone who understands time better can follow up on it. First of all, I've always been of the opinion that the massive uptick in UFO sightings in the late 40's was a result of our nuclear detonations. Either because someone saw them and came for a better look, or...

I bet this has something to do with that Nashville bomber who got completely memory-holed. As I recall, he blew up one of these "windowless skyscrapers owned by AT&T"

I don't normally ever get hyped up over indie games (unless it's that Mother 4* project or AM2R) but I gotta say, this Trinity Trigger game has my attention. The music is SO GOOD and so similar to Secret of Mana that I'm wondering if it has the same composer. Also, ring menus and multiplayer...

Yep. Putting aside all the stuff we complain about regarding the story, I'm really glad this exists at all. Brings back a lot of memories.

Been playing the Live-a-Live remaster. It's a good time if you like obscure Super Famicom RPGs. They changed very little from the original outside of the graphics which obviously got a big overhaul. This means that there are a few unpolished things, like the Prehistoric chapter generally being...

The rumor right now is a buyout of Punk's contract because he doesn't want to come back to work if The Elite are there. He made 9.3 million in AEW since he joined, which is actually slightly more than he made in HIS ENTIRE WWE RUN. So he's literally pissing away ungodly amounts of money here...

Yeah. The Why Files has algorithm issues too. Guy has like 550K subscribers and yet whenever I search for his channel on most devices, it doesn't pop up in the search bar until I type out the full name. And then his actual videos will start like 3 videos down, behind other people's videos...

It's moot now but I was gonna say pretty nonexistent for the time being, unfortunately.

Still bugs me that they (totally unnecessarily) attached the Reunion title to CC instead of saving it for FF7R Pt 3 where it would have been the perfect title. I particularly love this track for some reason. Listened to it a lot in college.

You're right, Moxley is on the top salary tier. I couldn't remember which one he was on. He was paid well above the EVPs in 2019 too. TK has everyone organized into tiers in terms of salary / importance, with extras/Dark staff at Tier 0 (pay per appearance). Nyla and Britt are the top tier for...

Goddammit, all the info I got on this was completely wrong. My bad, thought they had it on good authority. Why would the people involved even do something like this and not connect it, given Cobra Kai's popularity? Absolutely baffling. ...Who are you?

Yeah I agree. Still bugs me that we didn't get a Demon Souls DLC or some Bloodborne enhancements.

MJF is really good in the ring, watch his match with Darby from Full Gear 2021.

What is this total word salad? Sounds to me like they're backpedaling hard and basically admitting this is a fantasy. Whatta shitshow. Well, it's good to see this board call something and have it be a widespread opinion days later, instead of the usual 6+ months that it takes the mainstream to...

I think MJF wants to be paid somewhere in the neighborhood of what Cody Rhodes is making now. IIRC it's around 4-5M a year plus merch. Nobody knows what MJF is making currently but it isn't that. I'm going to guess 2M and that's being generous. If my info is correct, Cody Money is like "top 5"...

This one is also good. He does a good job towing the company line of -don't talk about the scrum- even while "shooting". And even when freaking Helwani keeps going back to it. Guy isn't planning on going anywhere, but he really does want a bidding war to happen over him. If TK doesn't match...

I played all the non-mainline games, so it feels like there's a lot of them. That's cool for people who are into it. I'm just a bit weary of the series. I vastly preferred the old style of FE, where the characters were less anime and more of a Suikoden-ish design. These new ones don't do much...

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...
