Wtf I like Schreier now.

Jason Schreier is fucking insufferable no surprise he thinks Witcher 3's dumpster's worth of content is "good design." If you NEEEED a hundred hours of content for $60 you're a stupid fucking fat American. Every street and character and location in this remake looks beautiful. This is an interactive work of art and I am nooot a JRPG fan that's saying this. Schreier should go work at an Arbys hes a fucking joke

When it come to scope and fidelity in an AAA game, Red Dead Redemption 2 is the standard right now. The only thing Rockstar needs to home in on is better main mission design.

He's not even saying the game is bad, only that there's no real reason why it's still coming out in this episodic format after being in development for approximately a bazillion years. He's mainly saying there's no reason they couldn't release it all at once, and that hacking it up into episodes is probably a decision made to pay for this fucking insanely expensive dev cycle.

>weeb
>calling people fat

He is right that episodic shit is a business shit decision.
Two part game would be more than fine though since Final Fantasy VII IS a very big game.
But he is wrong about "fidelty" of Breath of the Wild. Also funny how he shits on Square but is a corporate shill of almost every big western company.
So yea he is a faggot but there is a bit of truth in what he says.

RDR2 is like the ultimate butterface. Everything is beautiful but the core gameplay of combat and missions

>no you don't understand, making me buy 4 parts of the same game for full price each time is actually a good thing!

Anyone saying they couldn't have made FF7 in one game is full of shit.

Like, you didn't have to make Midgar a full open world thing. Nobody asked for that shit.

Not even a weeb bro the game just looks beautiful niggas gonna be uninstalling tinder to spend time with aeris you just dont understand the value of nice things because you a young nigga. This remake is hella nice things

>giving SE money for the same game again and again

Nobody asked for shitty fucking XIV combat either but retards are still defending that too.

I would say he's off the mark. Those open world games make sacrifices elsewhere in order to work. The first boss in FF7R has a level of complexity to it greater than every encounter in BotW and Witcher 3. At least when considering it as a set piece moment.

user, it is open world.

what the fuck are you doing

I'll trust a jew on anything he says relating to business, unless I'm buying from him

How does one determine the scope of an RPG's gameplay with only three hours? How does one compare what looks to be an ARPG with open world games? What point is he trying to make? The game very well may be shit but this fat fuck gives, predictably, no useful information towards predicting that.

by that logic, yakuza and persona are also "open world."
you know full well what he means by comparing it to "wide as the ocean, deep as a puddle" sandbox games like botw and witcher 3.

Jason Schreier is an inexcusable scandal hound and I hope he shits his pants in public because he iis shit

The major problem with the FF remake is that they've bulked out Midgar, but with crappy fetch quests that nobody gives a shit about it. What has that brought to the game?

We could have had their reimagining of disk 1 content with the new battle system and that would have been really good. If the added content was good it might be ok but its just padding

The fact that those are full games with huge amounts of playtime and not a third of a fucking game?

le ocean wide puddle le not deep

>le
>le

fuck off and die

BoTW is PS2-tier though. It's less impressive in scope than FF12.

>The fact that those are full games
lol. botw doesn't even have dungeons.
>huge amounts of playtime
padded by extreme amounts of tedious copy-paste filler because most of the development time/resources went to making the sandbox.
>and not a third of a fucking game
that "third of a game" will be better than the entirety of botw and witcher 3.

>fuck off and die

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean they don't have a longer playtime than the original Final Fantasy VII.

ff7's playtime is filled with meaningful content. botw and witcher 3 are 1% content, 99% walking towards the content.

"No"

i thought it was three neatly divided into

>Everything after that until Aeris dies
>Everything after THAT

>being this new

Because the Square Enix reps had him play through selections of the first ten chapters of the game, and surprising no one it served as a huge reminder of how short Midgar actually was in FFVII. The point he seems to be making is that even with the padding you're still only playing a small chunk of a much larger story and it's not a satisfying amount.

I never said that. This game will be $20 used in a matter of months just like KH3. Could be a cheap and fun time.

I haven't played TW3 but Breath of the Wild is absolutely FULL of shameless repetitive filler. Its "scope" comes at the expense of the quality of its content.

>thousands of HP in midgar
What the fuck

Nah son.

Anyone making an argument about any video game based on the presence of repetitive tasks instantly forfeits.

Would you have prefered if they named it FF7 prologue and sold it for 20-30 bucks?

Do you pride yourself on being this disingenuous? You know exactly what I mean.

>western "games journalist" mocking superior japanese game, while praising 3 hour 40$ walking sims

Guys remember how much fun switching discs was?

lmao short game confirmed

Yeah, I've been thinking about that. Are they not putting level caps in the game? The rest of the episodes will be unbalanced as hell.

>i played three hours
>chapter 10
So he`s lying?

That would just remind people of MGSV and the failure that ended up being.

>4 episodes
I thought it was going to be a trilogy. Did I miss something?

I don't think so. Imagine complaining that a game has a gameplay loop.

I would have preferred a full game.

They've clearly not thought any of this through its so ridiculous

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Having to change discs moving from room to room was so much fun.

Attached: Pc Gaming.jpg (500x309, 29K)

Good thing you only had to do it once every 15 hours, you stupid faggot.
Also, if you weren't a dumb zoomer, you'd know that it was legitimately exciting to switch discs. Like you were reaching some crazy new chapter of the game.

They still haven't said how many games there will be

Square Enix 100% forced the devs to make it episodic

This is gonna be the final nail in the coffin for Squeenix.

Do you know what a "gradient" is?

The only way to fix that would be to scale down your stats from episode to episode but that would be fucking bullshit.

>The rest of the episodes will be unbalanced as hell.
We have zero information about how the transitions to the next episodes is gonna happen, stop assuming shit.

Personally i enjoyed the demo, i still don't know how to take the whole episodic thing and it sure seems suspicious to have an entire game soley based on disc 1. But at the end of the day i'll play it and see if it's indeed the scam doomposters pretend it is and if the episodic thing hurt it as much as some peopel claim

>3hours
Is the demo really that long?

he didn't play the game linearly.

Isn't he the guy that protected loot boxes so devs could make more money and continue making more content? This "business" decision is exactly the same thing.

when those "repetitive tasks" make up almost all of the game's content, it's a valid criticism.

The transition will be Cloud shitting on your face faggot. Fuck off.

>Two part game would be more than fine though since Final Fantasy VII IS a very big game.
It was 30 hours long. Xenoblade 1 and most SMT games are over double that.

This.
I can't fucking wait for release and the inevitable rage on Yea Forums. Oh baby. All you apologists. All you Nomura fanboys are in for a rude awakening as this fucking hack, this fucking good, ruins a beloved classic.

Keep seething, while tons of people will enjoy it.

>I can't fucking wait for release and the inevitable rage on Yea Forums.

>shit eater

>Escape from Midgar
>Cloud trips over and drops all his materia down a sewer grate on the way

>stop enjoying things reeeeeeeeeee
What a sad life

For once I agree with kotaku jew.
I also liked the demo.

Yeah. I liked RDR2. But after doing the story once, there’s no desire to replay it at all. And things take too long to do little tasks, that I would prefer BotW for silly stuff like hunting cause it was much simpler.

We're gonna have both, it'll be like a live action disney remake.

>completely ruins the original and is worse in every way
>normies eat it the fuck up because they're retarded and have shit taste

That's a nice fantasy but we all know it's going to sell millions on the name alone.

He’s right that there’s no TECHNICAL reason the game couldn’t just be one full game. The point of the W3/BotW comparison, I think, is that it’s possible to have a game world that’s both large and detailed and not need 4 blu-ray discs to make it work.

7R’s problem isn’t a technical one, it’s a business one; they can’t afford to just develop the game for a decade and sell it for $60, they have to release it piecemeal to generate the revenue needed to justify the development cycle and retain interest over such a long span of time.

Why can't you accept the fact that it can be good?

Why are normies so dumb, Yea Forums? This was obvious, yet they need somebody to tell them about it.

He is right. He is a fucking shit but that doesn't mean he is wrong all the time, just almost all the time.

I can already promise you it's going to be one of those games that people will shit on a few months/years later. Especially here on Yea Forums.

>they can’t afford to just develop the game for a decade and sell it for $60, they have to release it piecemeal to generate the revenue needed to justify the development cycle and retain interest over such a long span of time.
Maybe they should come up with a sensible development process that lets them make high quality games within two years instead of wasting 10 years making a game that turns out to be unfinished garbage. You know, like they used to do back in the PSX era.

I though that at first but that part two would be huge

Why can't you accept the fact that it won't be good?

Jason, you aren't based, you're a filthy left-liberal kike with poor taste in women.
However, you are correct on that point.

There goes Jason again, stirring shit up.

>nooo stop informing my purchase give me hype

it's a modern game that isn't coming to switch and is't made by one of Yea Forums's sacred cows. no shit, Yea Forums will still be obsessively trashing this game for years to come. just look at persona 5. that has nothing to do with the game's quality, though.

>3 hours
>thousands of hp
This is why you can't trust kotaku

Because it won't. Nomura is a hack and all the real talent left SE years ago.

Because i'm not a cynical piece of shit calling everything crap even before playing it and everyone who doesn't agree a shill

What are the chances they don't even bother to finish all the episodes like they did with XV

The worst Witcher 3 sidequest is better written, designed and has more artistry in it than the entirety of the Final Fantasy franchise.

>please be upset with the greatest-looking game of all time
No and you can blow your opinion out your ass.

>This shithole starts sucking this jew's cock just to keep their outrage going

Sasuga Yea Forumsitter.

Doing that would actually kill the company. Not even normalfags would accept that.

Imagine using Shit of the Wild to bolster your argument.

RDR2 is an empty game.

That isn’t how vidya works. You can’t develop games that look and sound and play like modern games using methods and budgets from a decade ago. The cost of vidya development (and I’m not even including marketing costs) is exponentially higher now than then.

Do you really WANT a FF7R with static pre-rendered backgrounds and no voice acting?

I have played it, the actual gameplay has been available for years now.

xv got cancelled because it lost $33 million. this remake has no chance of flopping like xv did.

I don't think it has really truly kicked in to people that they won't get the full FF7.
Even the marketing is shying away from it being episodic or having a "part 1" or "Midgar" or something as a title.

>Cloud trips over and drops all his materia down a sewer grate on the way
Or they introduce Yuffie at the end of part 1 and she steals the team's materia.

>sensible development process
You mean working your employees to death. That's the only reason TW3 came out as quickly as it did with its level of polish.

Oddly enough, yes, massive games, that are massive undertakings, are not uncommon. They exist. Teams have made them. The excuse that FFVII is too large to remake in one piece is incredibly suspect, regardless of whether you think it's good or not.

Unironically the only jew I respect.
I will still piss on his grave because he is a jew and a journo, but I would do that respectfully and feel honored

>just look at persona 5. that has nothing to do with the game's quality, though.
I mean alot of that is due to how 5 shits its pants in the later half of the game

Wait he played for 3 hours and made it to chapter 10 which is the sewer area?

And Modern Nomura, much like Kojima is a garbage hack.

the sad part is that even tortanic didn't fail, it just went free-to-play to stay afloat. nintendo fanboys have wasted the past decade screeching for every new non-nintendo game to fail and they're batting .000.

You're saying FF7R will be that level of terrible?

Why are we pretending that FF8 and FF9 weren't considered to be extremely high quality releases at their time in terms of visuals and content?
The only thing that's changed is they became fucking incompetent and focused entirely on the wrong things.

This but unironicly. Yea Forums mods have replaced their standards with autism. They can't even enforce their own no general rule when even Yea Forums mostly can.

Games like Baten Kaitos showed how pre-rendered backgrounds could be improved even more over the PSX era, I hate that they were abandoned for muh cinematic cameras when the pre-rendered backgrounds looked far better for far less work.

XV released in 2016 then had 1 year of planned DLC then 2 years of EXTRA bonus DLC, with only the non canon alt timeline bonus DLC that for the 3rd year getting cancelled while still only in script form while the canon prequel DLC that fans requested literally STILL released after that happened anyway, and that $33m had nothing to do with XV even remotely, it was because SE cancelled multiple new IPs and CG projects which LP was doing to redirect their resources into a single AAA new IP instead, and that $33m was made back in the same FY because XV mobile game made over $375m in 2018 alone which SE gets a chunk of and XV on Steam made over $33m too.

Are you illiterate? No where does it say XV was cancelled or it lost $33m

See

It's a Japanese company user. They are already being worked to death.

We still get 50+ hours JRPGs with the same scale and scope as the original FFVII like DQXI or Xenoblade.
And looking at Western games, there are also some huge RPGs regularly released.
I fail to see why FFVII is the sole exception that needs to be split into several parts.

Jews are never based, faggot. They are parasites.

Ok Benjamin. Calm down

I once thought as you do. But SE is too far gone.

you don't know what an impairment loss is do you? it had nothing to do with XV which already released 2 years prior to that and had already profited

>I fail to see why FFVII is the sole exception that needs to be split into several parts.
In reality it's probably due to how much money they sank into XV, this was their hail marry for the series

good point, tabata did nothing wrong and ffxv was a huge success. that must be why they specifically cancelled ffxv's dlc and fired tabata.

Pretty much this. TORtanic cucks will just keep crying forever posting twitter screencaps.

Does this guy not realize that an ff7 world done at the fidelity of Witcher 3 would be many many many times larger than Witcher 3s world?

That's kinda obvious. But you regularly get fans trying to argue otherwise.

they already said months ago it will be 4 games retard

Notice that they only cancelled everything after Tabata left. It would not surprise me and I don't think its too farfetched to imagine a scenario where Nomura threatened to quit if XV didn't get its legs cut out from under it. He just couldn't handle Tabata finishing Nomura's abortion that was Versus. Tabata obviously quit out of protest.

so thats mean that he can finish this game in just 5 hours

A pedophile can be right about this being another Square scam

the man was gifted the director role for XVI because of his ability to turn shit into gold. At least hold a candle of hope.

Exactly

BASED NOMURA!

this reads like a bot came up with it

Yes FFXV was a massive success and all the canon planned DLC released as planned
Tabata didn't even direct any of the XV DLC you retard and he left SE to start his own company with other former SE devs, the only DLC that were cancelled were the non canon alt timeline bonus 3rd year DLC that has nothing to do with the main game while the canon prequel DLC that fans requested literally STILL released after that happened anyway

Not as much as they enjoy being miserable and trying to spread their misery.

Jason “Prism and Fox1340 on LUElinks” Schierer is a contrarian.

He just does the opposite of whatever people are hyping about. Especially JRPGs, despite him signing on Kotaku as a “JRPG expert” when he barely plays any JRPGs anymore. He was the only one to paint Xenoblade 1 as completely bad and unplayable. Not even the doomers here did that. And he would always bring it up like it was an accomplishment having a different opinion.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

No joke Jason is the kind of person to deduct a game points for having a female have a cleavage.

Sounds like a gentleman. What's the problem?

Hahah. He’s probably getting his “it never was good” card ready when he gets triggered about the cleavage with Scarlet and the Honey Bee dancers.

Genuinely curious, I know it's a sad state of affairs, but is Jason honestly the best journalist in the gaming industry? Or does he just have a friend who knows someone at Bethesda and a target warehouse?

No idea who this is but they are 100% on the money. I have the demo ready to roll when I get home from work and I plan on giving it a shot to see how it feels and not touching it for another 5-10 years till the complete edition comes out on PS5 in some compilation format
It's just insane, no other game could pull this off but the scale of this game was never bigger than some newer games. You don't need multiple episodes to go over all the details and soul the older games had, hell, most of the main content for the game is on discs 1 and 2. Disc 3 has mostly post game stuff. So the game really isn't that big when you boil it down. It's a great game and there's a lot to cover for sure but THE MINUTE I saw this was going episodic, i lost any sort of hype I had for this game and it feels like the episodic nature of the game has been extremely undersold by Square and even media outlets. Like, people know but even if it's a 20-30 hour solid romp with some extra features, when people realize there's still a massive chunk of game to get back to, what are they going to say and how will they handle it when part 2 eventually comes? I just don't see this going well PR wise.
If Square even so much as slips ANYWHERE after this comes out, this whole project is done for.
The only way this could go well for Square now is if this whole thing has been a deep fake and the entire game is included on the 100GB two blurays but I doubt it

>is Jason the best journalist in the industry
You have to be fucking kidding me in no way is he any good

there's repetitive and there's too repetitive - which describes botw perfectly

Yeah, we have zero information because there IS no information. They've pushed it all off to
>we're developing episode 1, not episode 2! we can figure that stuff out later!

Who's better? Who else provides any info, and I'm not talking about the likes of Keighly/O'Dwyer who just do press releases it seems. I use to think Superbunnyhop was pretty good but then he started to go to Japan every month to get his rocks off.

You can't even free roam in witcher 3, because some stupid asshole thought it was a good idea to give static levels to enemies

>ignominious
I have never seen that word used before.

if you really wondering if they did it for the money the answer is, "yes."

you can turn that off in the menu so the enemies scale to you

Fun Fact: Episode 2 will be a DDR-style rhythm game.

Fanboys are so fucking retarded. Schreicher is one of the few somewhat decent journalists but your issue with him is that he disagrees with you about a fucking video game that you haven't played but he has.

If he wanted to be respected he shouldn't have said the fucking retarded thing he did about dragons crown.

Will Jap voices be in the full* game?

Base game Witcher 3 probably doesn't have 1/4 of the enemy variety on a single FF game, not only that, but you can only control Geralt and he has the same moveset for both swords

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

>the decision to go episodic was made to make more money

wow
no fucking shit

can someone explain WHY do we need a 40 hour midgar? what the fuck was wrong with the pacing of the original game? why does everything need to be stretched far and wide to an impossibly long story that spans 200 games? that's so fucking bad, reminds me of that autist working on xenosaga that wanted the game to last 10+ full price chapters and they rightfully told him to fuck off and make 3 at best

He's playing a review copy and ignoring the sidequests so he can get a review out the moment the nda lifts.

Because retard consumers will spend $80 many times over rather than stand up for themselves.

That managed to fit into a 30-hour PSX game just fine because it was all pre-rendered images, but in a fully-3D remake, that's a shitload of work.

>the decision to go episode was made mainly for business reasons

The next part probably wont even be on the PS4 because PS5 is BC. So basically, if you want the same experience you got in the 90s, you'll have to fucking shell out at minimum 500 US DOLLARS.

FUCK JEW ENIX

You can stop now, the demo's out for the public. We all know it's good.

Well shit, now I need to play Witcher 3.

>by that logic, yakuza and persona are also "open world."
Yes

was he the fag who covered his eyes during yakuza, all these faggots blend together

or it can be neatly divided into one game, like the original

>Xenoblade didn't have a huge game world with multiple cities in 3D
Are you retarded? Of course a good start for Squeenix would be bringing back the fucking world map in their games.

Nobody is that stupid. The only way they would ever make a decision like this is if they got moneyrolled like mad by Sony, and that would be at the expense of potentially millions of customers.

explain this

because it saves money and is the location everyone remembers

Midgar isn't even 10% of he original game... If Midgar alone is 1 game then...... How the fuck do you expect they will be able to cram the rest of the game in just 2 more parts? There is no way this shitty remake isn't less than 6 parts.... Each part sold for $60+tax of-course.

There is already information provided by Square, retard

The problem is that although he actually provides interesting insights into the industry and has good connections to many developers, his opinions on video games are utter trash.

Video game companis are crack dealers
Games are the crack
Gamers are the junkies

Lets hope so. These english voices are garbage, as must dubs are.

>scope and fidelity of botw
Is this guy serious?

He's right. FF7 isn't that big

>Have you seen TW3 or Zelda
Yeah, I have seen those two games with a handful of assents being reused for 90% of the game.

You alright Jew boy

>say something fucking blatantly obvious
>act as if it's some profound original thought

It could easily happen in FF8.

>have you seen the scope of witcher3 and botw
stopped reading there. opinion instantly discarded.
those two games are both empty, bland, boring, repetitive pieces of copypasted feces.

Witcher 3 is deeper than a puddle, have you seen the quests and dlc? Also BoTW has a shallow story, but is very deep in terms of mechanics. Skyrim is one of those game that are wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle.

>padded by extreme amounts of tedious copy-paste filler
You think FF7R won't have dozens upon dozens of fetch quests? OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Cope

See Chocomog Fest? Released January 2017
Episode Gladio? Released March 2017
Chapter 13 Verse 2? Released March 2017
Episode Prompto? Released June 2017
Assassins Fest? Released August 2017
Comrades? Released November 2017
Episode Ignis? Released December 2017 and was supposed to be the end of DLC support, but because it sold so well and fans demanded more they greenlit more content coming to XV in January 2018, and confirmed Episode Ardyn would be made because of fan demand for one, and also confirmed they were only planning on making Episode Ardyn as an anime but because there was so much demand for it to be as game content they decided to make it as DLC and anime content, that was only because of fan demand.

Following that?
Royal Pack/Royal Edition and PC version? Released March 2018
Comrades Major Update 1? Released March 2018

Then in April 2018 they announced 3 other non canon alt timeline bonus DLC that they wanted do after Ep Ardyn, for Ep Luna, Ep Aranea and Ep Noct, but these never moved past script phase even in September 2018 when they were cancelled so that the devs could be moved to LumiPro's new AAA IP after Episode Ardyn instead, since non canon alt timeline DLC would not be needed for the main game content of XV, it was decided to cancel those and only focus on the last canon DLC with Episode Ardyn, which is the only one they decided to do based on fan demand.

Terra Wars x FFXV Collab which was? Released September 2018
FFXIV x FFXV Collab? Released December 2018
Episode Ardyn anime prologue? Released February 2019
Episode Ardyn? Released March 2019 as the final canon FFXV DLC.
Offroad car, Ch12 story updates, Character switching, new sidequests, timed quests, weapons, new NPC quests, new party dialog, new combat mechanics, QoL updates, etc, happened throughout 2017, 2018 and 2019 for free.

DotF novel version released in April 2019 and coming 2020 in English, and a 2nd new FFXV MMORPG mobile game globally in 2020.

So why exactly are we working for a kid who works for Hojo? The guy who works for the company we're trying to destroy and fucked everyone over royally?

FF7 Gbike was canceled guess FF7 wasn't a success

>comparing a mobile game spinoff to DLC content for the main title
Ouch

>ignominious
where the fuck did he even get that word?

This is an English speaking board.

Galerians was like 3 discs and that shitty Akira ripoff was 4 hours long max.

Jews can't be based, they're inherently evil and cringe incarnate.

back to CoD with ye

I just wonder how did jason get this whinny over time, the man has negative charisma in his voice.

He's a jew, they have to be whiny assholes or they lose their big nose points.

Maybe I should buy FF15

He's right and you all know what will happen
> part 1 will sell really well
> part 2 will take so long to come out, a decent amount of people will lose interest, so part 2 sells less
> uh oh
> S-E decide to cut their losses and rush out the rest of the game half-assed, bad quality and ruin it.

As good as this game looks, knowing that it only covers 1/10th of the original game is a serious concern.

I almost guarantee you'll enjoy it

Breath of the wild is 1/10th of a game

time for xenosaga 2: electric boogaloo

The thing that bugs me is what is the end game gear going to be in part 1? Metal Knuckle and Iron Bangles?

>mainly for business reasons
im not going to defend square in any regard because i know ill get called a shill since everyone says that if you even mention liking a game, but ff7 remake has been in development hell since its announcement, and they pretty much entirely remade the game from scratch. also, for a game that been highly anticipated for a remake since the dawn of the ps3, they sure as hell aren't going to go any lower than 100% when making the game. Its the exact same reason why valve employees are afraid to make hl3 because if they do anything wrong, it's immediately going to be met with backlash, so they have to get as perfect as they can get so consumers will be pleased with the result of the game

You mean Jason "Big breasts are a lolicon fantasy" Schreier?
The only thing he's reliable on is when it comes to leaks

and then just never gives it back, or uses it even when she's in your party

the problem wasn't splitting it into parts it was wanting to market each part as a AAA 40 hour game

Shill

post hand

why is her design so bad I just want to scream aaaaah

How on earth can S-E hope to keep decent sales numbers between each release, how can they possibly keep peoples interest in the same game for xx+ years with long multi-year gaps in between.

this. some suit went "we sell game discs for 80 bucks, why are we going to give them 3 discs worth for just one purchase?" and then it was all hand wringing and chuckling

>game is bad unless its fuckhuge empty open world garbage

When will this meme end

>muh marvel did it
>i want some of that loyal customer base money gimme gimme gimme
it's all copycat shit in the hopes of recapturing lightning in a bottle

How did Kotaku get better post Gamergate and Yea Forums gets worse every hour?

>retain interest over such a long span of time.
I think their business plan falls apart here. Every episodic game release I can recall sold worse with each passing installment, with many of them being canceled before completion due to low sales.
>Do you really WANT a FF7R with static pre-rendered backgrounds and no voice acting?
Ideally yes, but I stopped wishing for anything good from Square-Enix at least 15 years ago.

>Kotaku get better

He's a faggot, but he is occasionally right.
This is one of those times.
Taking a complete game and splitting it into pieces is nothing more than a cash grab.

they got bought out by telamundo who forces them to "stick to games" and the writers are still asshurt about it
better is too strong a word though, as it barely improved
Yea Forums is still the same shithole it always was

static levels are based

I don't know why he brought up witcher and zelda but he's right about the episodic system being a business thing.

>square didn't learn from Deus Ex not to do this shit

Stupid greedy gooks

Easy, she sells it or otherwise gives it to Wutai before she joins the party.

is FF7R have difficulty mode? is he playing this on very easy?

>is FF7R have difficulty mode?
Yes, it has Journalist, Normal and Hard mode (not in the demo).

You guys never heard of .Hack?

user no one's going to pay attention to you
For the brain-rotten contrarians around here any open world game, by definition of giving you freedom, is terrible
That said, the FF7 remake looks absolutely terrible, having almost all the focus on "BIG AAA" set pieces and fetch quests and relegating the actual gameplay and even the story to an afterthought

Broken clock, retard
Schreier is retarded scum but it's not like this game is flawless, it's obviously a fucking scam

Wow what a brave soul, he said what everyone's been saying since the start.

They're frankly unlikely to be able to keep this thing selling well across all parts, which would actually explain all the gouging bullshit we've seen so far

>498008951
people aren't clocks.

Yakuza is absolutely open world

Honestly it just reads like he's whining to whine

Attached: 3Vv2G6v.png (1336x556, 10K)

broken clock etc etc

None of the released DLC or updates stop it from being a shit game that is horribly disjointed and clearly rushed.

Wait, the demo is dub-only? Fuck that then.

>it's a 40+ hour game!!!
>30 of those hours will be doing fetch quests
lmao at square fans

>Part 2 raises the HP cap from 9,999 to 99,999
>Part 3 raises it to 999,999
We Disgaea now boys.

ff7 isnt even that great, it's certainly not fucking worthy of a multivolume episodic remaster. niggas be acting like this garbo game be the vidya equivalent Ben Hurr an shit, when it's just fucking Krull the Conquerer.

But it was the first JRPG I played when I was 6 years old so it's the best game ever made.

>every game needs to be open world now
And no, a JRPG having an overworld does not equate to a modern-day open world game.

Attached: isleep.jpg (600x537, 38K)

There is plenty of gameplay footage on youtube showing a party with 2-3,000hp each fighting Aps

The Ben Hur comparison is a good one but fuck you for not rating Krull

>blaming the Jews for your tiny penis

And ff7 is on mobile you dumb fuck
while that "dlc" was non canon and had nothing to do with the main game at all

It's the best FF.

nothing you said is true, og ff7 feels more rushed and unfinished

>ff7 isnt even that great
It's the best FF game though.
