I’ve enjoyed Telltale games in the past (specifically Tales from the Borderlands and Batman), so I’ll likely pick this one up later during a sale.

We’re already seeing some of that with things like the ROG Ally. There are also specialized emulator platforms that can play cartridges from multiple consoles.

Considering Skyrim Special Edition is handled like a different version of Skyrim, I would completely expect this version of Fallout 4 to break mods.

FFT is hands-down my favorite Final Fantasy game. I’m busy with other stuff at the moment, but I definitely plan on getting this one eventually.

I now understand why so many people are complaining about Silksong being too hard.

I started replaying this one recently, as well. And yes, killing Nazis never gets old.

It was definitely one of the funnier hacking incidents I’ve seen in a game.

A lot of executives in publicly traded companies only have a tenure of a few years, so they’re focused on pumping the stock for next quarter to maximize their bonus. They probably won’t be around if/when the whole thing comes crashing down; that’s the next guy’s problem.

One streamer dropped over $100k on Diablo Immortal when it released. His gear was leveled so high, he couldn’t match against anyone else in pvp.

Yeah, I’m sure they ran the numbers and a decision like this didn’t come lightly. Also, since this is a multiplatform game, there’s a good chance the displaced ps4 users already have another device they can play the game on. Ultimately though, if the devs want to grow the game, then these decisions have to be made. Back when I played, after every major patch, you were guaranteed to see people lamenting that they could no longer play the game because their device no longer had enough storage.

While I understand it’s not a 1:1 comparison, Final Fantasy 14 dropped support for PS3 in 2017, and the console was only 11 years old at the time.

Unfortunate, but sometimes you need to cut support for 12 year old hardware in order to do more with your game. I come from MMOs, and this sort of thing would regularly happen when a new expansion would be announced. Minimum specs rise, and support for old stuff gets cut.

I remember getting punished by trying to use the Descent 1 cheat codes in Descent 2.

That’s a major pain point for a lot of new players. You have to invest at least a couple hundred hours into doing the MSQ to get to current endgame content. I know it’s more about the journey, rather than the destination, but it sucks when you have friends doing endgame stuff, and you’re still stuck behind who knows how many more quests in order to join them. I quit the game twice during the stretch of post-ARR quests. They cut the number of quests down since I went through them, but it’s still a slog.

I used to play off and on. It was fun, but I didn’t do current raids or craft, so after finishing the MSQ, I’d just level alts and chase mounts/skins until i got bored and quit. I also work evenings and was active late at night, so it was difficult to find groups for things. I played on Zalera.

I was hoping EA would greenlight the overhaul project, as I also really liked the flight and combat. I understand why they didn’t, but it still sucks to see this.

I had something similar for my Game Boy, but it had a built-in magnifier as well. It made the thing top-heavy, so my hands got tired pretty quickly.

And what do you know… it just went on sale. Thanks for the info, I just picked it up.

My favorite is the original Final Fantasy Tactics, hands down. I also liked XCOM 1, Advance Wars, Ogre Battle 64, Unicorn Overlord, Fire Emblem 3 Houses, and probably a few others I can’t think of right now.

I’ve had my eye on Tactics Ogre Reborn for a while now, but haven’t bought yet since it seemingly won’t go below 50% off, and the reviews say some of the later missions are pretty stacked against you, forcing you to play a certain way. Thoughts on this?

So, the article is about gacha MMOs, but then doesn’t list any? Of the games it references, Honkai Star Rail isn’t a MMO, and World of Warcraft isn’t a gacha game.
