Video Game General 6.4: New Halo? What else?

Looks good, but I need to know whether it has dodge roll/hop and decent enemy AI.

For some reason I was thinking the second one came with the first one or that there was already a combo deal for Guacamelee?

I guess not, haha. Iā€™ll pick it up Black Friday, since I already have two purchases for that month.

George RR was consulted regarding a game out of Japan

Bet itā€™s something with S-E like that they can take 20 more years to make one single fucking game.

What? Lol

Thereā€™s been rumors and lately more evidence, including this, that From Software is working with him. The article even mentions that.

So another turd on a silver platterā€¦ good to know.

What are you even saying? Just random non sequiturs

They have both had enough attempts at fucking up. Itā€™s their time.

Maybe this will make the series worth a shit

FF7 Remake might only be released in two parts, instead of the 3 or 4 most people were expecting.

wait wait wait, hold up, A PLAYABLE DEMO!?

We can ACTUALLY EXPERIENCE THIS SHIT!?

No fucking way

Itā€™s been 4 years since the reveal, 13 years since that tech demo during Sonyā€™s E3 presser, and 22 years since the original release

2 parts? ha, I wonder how many will just wait until the inevitable ā€œREMASTERED EDITIONā€ or ā€œGolden Collectionā€ that has the whole damn thing in 1 purchaseā€¦it will probably just be a year later at the most.

ā€¦I just remembered having enough left over to get something on eshopā€¦ so I might go on and get Joker in Smash Ultimate todayā€¦ there hasnā€™t been a rush on that since I never cared for the Persona franchise in the first place thoughā€¦I just see it as another interesting character to add on the already insane roster in that game.

Played Team Sanic Racing for a bit. The graphics areā€¦kind of ridiculous? Like how youā€™d imagine Mario Kart 8 would have looked if it wasnā€™t tied to dogshit hardware ALA the Wii U/Switch.

The track design is fucking awesome. One level has you racing in the clouds while speed boosting and bouncing off of blimps. Iā€™d say just about every other track is on some Rainbow Road shit with how wacky it is. There only seems to be TWO online trophies this time around, which is really nice. I platinumā€™d the original on PS3, but I got Transformed a bit late and when I went online it was dead on both the PS3 and Vita. I almost came in first this one match, I was like less than a second behind the guy who came in first. You can drift ā€”> speed boost ā€”> drift ā€”> speed boost pretty much the entire track just like the original which is nice.

The game feels really good to play and it has a great sense of speed especially when you get your TRANSFORMED boost thing ready to go, not sure what itā€™s called in this game but you tap triangle when you have enough resources and you temporarily turn into Speedy Gonzales.


Had a wack death in Path of Exile earlier. It set me back in the race a bit. Salt Israel.

In positive news I got a bunch of CS:GO keys for sale on Steam and once more sell, Iā€™ll be buying Blood: Fresh Supply while retiring the old sourceports I have and Iā€™ll be buying this Path of Exile supporter pack:

That shit looks amazing imo, reminds of that 1 enemy type with a similar armor set in the original Dark Souls. The guys youā€™d fight before the Four Kings fight.

Dark Wraiths. I have a cool pair of ā€œWasteland Wingsā€ that will match that set beautifully. :ok_hand:

Kind of weird how some people are reacting to the FF7 Remake being in 2 parts news/rumor. I mean, weā€™ve known that the game would be episodic for years now. 2 parts is at least better than the initial speculation that the first part would end after Midgard.

The fact that itā€™s supposedly a two-parter completely throws off all the speculation as to whether each part would end. That definitely means Part 1 isnā€™t finishing at Midgar, simply by virtue of it being way too short of a game and the second part being too damn huge (since itā€™s literally the rest of FF7)

I guess that means Pt.1 is the City of Ancients, Aerithā€™s death and the Meteor approaching the planet, and Pt.2 is Cloudā€™s wheelchair, Weapons being released from the crater, and the showdown vs Sephiroth

Oninaki is definitely one Iā€™m keeping an eye onā€¦and thereā€™s a Switch versionā€¦yeahhhhhh bruh that is SO bought.

I like me some FF7 but I just donā€™t see the remake being nearly as good as the original. I donā€™t think modern Square Enix can pull it off.

Iā€™d love to be proven wrong though.
