    I remember when the Crash Bandicoot remake came out a couple years ago. It was amazing. The best compliment I could give it was that it looked exactly like how 7 year old me remembered it looking in 1996.

    The FFVII Remake goes one better, it fills in the gaps that were in the original and is exactly what 8 year old me imagined it could be. It's perfect, and I absolutely had a lump in my throat when it started.

    I had two lumps. One in my throat and one in my pants.

  2. Expanding the slums was a masterstroke. They and Midgar feel like an actual bustling environment in a way that obviously wasn't possible in the original but the whole place is dripping with atmosphere and the Avalanche gang feel like real characters now. Combat is great and keeps you involved every second but you can get your head kicked in if you're not careful. Game is good, I can recommend it.

  3. I was listening to his Live at Carnegie Hall album 5 hours before he died so please bow before the strange power I wield.

     

     

    Still though, it's an absolutely brilliant live performance. Tight band, great vocal performance and he has a unique connection with the audience that you have to hear to understand. He really did feel like a laidback Church minister talking to his friends as he played. Everyone that left the Carnegie Hall this night must have felt like Bill Withers was their close personal friend.

  4. I was playing GT Sport and I executed a perfect overtake of a fellow motor sportsman who proceeded to call me "fat" over the microphone. I use the quotation marks because I can't be sure if he was using the urban vernacular of "phat" meaning "dope, fly or held to a certain standard of excellence" or if he was just calling me morbidly obese. Please advise.

    Oh yeah another....!DAMAGE! made you invincible in Destruction Derby.

    Chuff was no cops in GTA1. 

    BUCKFAST was also the cheat for every weapon in GTA 1, I believe. And there was 9 year old me just thinking it was a funny word. Though, no assault rifle in the world could ever hope to be as powerful as buckfast.

    I often flip-flop on whether Hideo Kojima is a genius with idiotic tendencies or an idiot with genius tendencies. I put David Cage in the latter category without hesitation, but Kojima's more of an enigma.

    MGS 2 is straight up prophetic in a lot of ways. Kojima is definitely a class above that hack, Cage.

    More absurd than the vampire person who walks on water and can survive gunshot wounds to the head due to nanomachine technology? What about the obese, yet highly acrobatic Russian soldier who shoots bees out his mouth? The flying psychic who controls your television? The breakdancing ninja who can spin huge bipedal mechs around with his feet? The 100-year-old sniper who hibernates and feeds himself through photosynthesis?

    Metal Gear owns.

  8. Cuphead is really great though I'd suggest re-mapping the default controls to something that suits you as all the actions are mapped to the face buttons and I found juggling things a bit tricky, especially in the Run and Gun stages. I'm finding dash on LT and shoot on RT is working good since I can just keep RT pressed down as I go about my business. 

  9. As someone who really can't commit 50+ hours to a game I've already played, the boosters/speeding/assists, whatever you want to call them are a life saver. Or, at least they were for FFVII. FFIX has a ton of charm running through it and if I can let those aspects wash over me again without the grinding, then I'll gladly take that.

  10. Just picked this up and I'm looking to download a ton of wrestlers to extend the roster a bit. Is the built-in community search good or will I have to venture to caw.ws and find some good creator accounts? 

  11. Fuck sake, 12 was horrid. I was doing awesome, got in and out without even needing to tranq anyone, and then that thing shows up and I cannot get around him.

    If I remember which one this is, I agree that section really fucked up what was a good run by me. I think I'm about 30 hours played and am only up to Mission 15 or so. I have done around 13 side-ops but with the way I play (cautiously checking areas before getting caught, giving up and going on a rampage), I'm probably going to rack up 80 hours+ with this and I'm not even going to bother S-ranking every mission.

  12. I'm enjoying it a lot and the new changes are nice for how I play in Pro Clubs which is box-to-box. I can drill passes wide, use little feints to make a yard of space. It finally feels like it isn't just going to be "give it to the fast lad and run" online this year.

    I'm still crap at tackling, mind.
