So I'm actually working on making a youtube video. It's a long, in-depth analysis of The Force Awakens, debunking all the lame hate it's been getting over the internet. Writing the script now, I'm at 19 pages, 9 thousand something words, and I'm probably at about the halfway point. Yikes.
WakingDawn96 repliedMeanwhile, I am still busy with school work but trying to formulate ideas for more AMV and GMV type of videos after taking about 3 years off from making videos.
Javelin434 repliedI don't think I'll even put that much effort for a university level research paper

Anyone here ever watch Tommy Wiseau's masterpiece: "The Room"? 10/10 greatest movie ever

I found a couple people on youtube who did angry rants about FFVIIR on Youtube, and both of them said Nomura is everything wrong with SE because (they thought) he was responsible for the XIII series. lol
MythrilMagician replied@Jim Yeah, they were rather good, despite what some say about them.
@Sora96 Yeah, it is. Surprising for a game that is criticised as being one of the worst FF games, but that's just the Internet for you.

Now that I'm playing Xenoblade Chronicles, I feel like the FF7R trailer looks a lot like a cross between the original FF7 gameplay and Xenoblade. As in, the ATB fills up with minor auto-attacks and then you choose what you can do after the gauge fills.
Shana09 repliedi think that's stretching it a bit.
I think its more like a FFXV-FF7 hybrid if anything. Or KH like.
Jim repliedYou could be right. I don't know, I guess this game just has one of those kinds of gameplays where it's really difficult to see what the player is actually doing to trigger the character's actions if you don't know how the game actually plays with controller in hand.
Shana09 repliedIf you are talking about the teamate AI reacting to what you and other AIs are doing then FFXV has been huge about that.

I just beat FF6 earlier, and... being totally honest, I personally enjoyed 7 and 9 more. I'm assuming this is probably a pretty unpopular opinion
It's a very good game though!Dave repliedBut, unlike Kefka, they CAN understand love and can find meaning on their own through the hearts of one another and the people who they've met in their travels. Even if the universe might not be geared towards it, they can still find a world worth living in. And that's kind of what's tragic about Kefka: he's a broken man on fire who, in the end, is the only true victim of his own nihilism, and the one thing that he couldn't destroy is the one thing he never understood or...
Jim repliedThat's exactly the kind of analysis I was hoping to get! Thanks man, I really appreciate it! I hadn't really looked into him that deeply while playing the game, so it's really neat to hear about him in that context.

I've seen some people on the internet who legitimately think Darth Maul is a better villain than Kylo Ren. H..how?
silent silv repliedProbably because, while Darth Maul hasn't much of a personality, he's more frightening and ominous, and more of what people expect of a Star Wars villain. I enjoyed Kylo Ren as a character, but some people like a character that isn't so childish.
Kalebninja repliedBecause that opinion may not be formed solely off of the movies, Darth Maul didn't die in and came back in the clone wars so we got to see a lot more out of the character.

Playing FF6 to the end for the first time -> feel ready to do give Kefka's tower a second shot -> spend at least 5-10 minutes in beginning of dungeon getting everyone tricked out -> get fairly far in -> some random encounter uses "Blaster" 4 times in a row and wipes out my entire party -> ragequit
Dracozombie repliedIf an enemy's being cheap, then be cheap back: Vanish-Doom glitch ftw. (Unless you're not playing the SNES version, which in that case gooood luck.)
Jim repliedDraco- nope, PC version for me. (I know everyone hates that version but I like it just fine)

When you look at the Smash Update changelist and see that they buffed three of your mains >
Shulk repliedShulk's changes do look great, even if the Back Slash change didn't happen. Looks like my other mains were pretty much untouched aside from Lucas (Who I don't play as all that much anyway
), so this update looks pretty good to me.Veemon repliedYes!! Ahahahahaha! It's small, but it's a start! The extra knockback might be just what I needed.

Someone in a Smash Bros thread just went in and posted a massive Star Wars 7 spoiler. I hate people.
Shulk repliedThen I guess I might as well lose that faith if it is happening. ._. If only people could understand that some people actually want to see these things for themselves. I find game spoilers all the time, but I don't think most of them are even half as bad as spoiling Star Wars.

(not directed at anyone on here) I can understand why people might be a bit disappointed that their favorite character didn't get into Smash, but the amount of harsh words and enraged fanboys is really getting on my nerves. Whether you like the character or not, don't go out of your way to trash Sakurai and his team. They worked really hard on that game.
Jim repliedThe things I've seen are just ridiculous, like "I'm glad Sakurai's leaving, he's everything wrong with Smash," or "**** Sakurai and everyone who likes him." I'm just like, really people? Can you possibly act more entitled?

Geez, the Gamefaqs boards in the FF7 remake section are so full of hate.
DragonMaster repliedGameFAQs itself is a cesspool of hate mongering, ignorance, intolerance, and belligerence. I'm on there quite often (don't actually have an account), and I keep wondering why I go back everyday. Its like a drug where every trip is a bad one but it's still addicting.
Gamerazor247 repliedI visit the GF discussions regularly because they're funny, but in all honesty the member's are douches.

I'm so confused. Square better clarify soon.
Shana09 repliedIt could be like the original which had like 5 CDS, but even thats dumb in today's terms.
Jim repliedYeah, maybe. I mean, I'd hope so. I don't even mind if it would cost a little more than a normal game if that was the case. I'm just so lost on what they even mean right now that I don't even know what to think
Shana09 repliedim more leaning towards them actually having the game divided into separate parts, in separate releases.

Everyone's complaining that Cloud's too skinny, but... I mean if you know the story of the game and where he was for the five years before the game starts, it kinda makes sense.
Dracozombie repliedYeah, I always thought Cloud was pretty wiry. If anything I thought he looked MORE muscular than he did in the original.
