@NikflixYT @Genki_JPN They rely on that way too much. Dissidia, while fantastic, has a lot to answer for.

@Genki_JPN I want to love it, because it's a true followup to the original 6 ffs, but them throwing in random characters from other FF games REALLY ruins the vibe for me

More Final Fantasy Resonance details! - Inspired by classic Final Fantasy games, especially FF5. - Turn-based combat - Idea started 6-7 years ago - Development time was much shorter - Crystals are central to the story, maybe more than any other FF game - Story is about a father-child relationship - Like a follow up to FF4,5,6 - Homage to classic Final Fantasy - Esper summons - Plot line from FF Brave Exvius - Reworked dialog and scenarios - Redesigned for consoles - 20+ Visions in the game - Combat is a blend of FF5’s job system customization and FF6’s character traits - Stagger system ign.com/articles/final…

@Genki_JPN Resonance is nothing like FF5. SE devs just say shit.

This is why I think Sonic Anniversary years have become a victim of their own success. There's now a sense that they must be something that will never meet expectations Just make a year of fun stuff for fans to enjoy. The murals, pop up shops, concerts... it's fine so far.

whoever told Americans this, well done. truly insane bait.

Your phone charger can electrocute a toddler who pokes a fork into the socket. The British plug cannot. That difference comes from a 1947 engineering project that refused every shortcut and turned a household plug into one of the most deliberately safe objects ever mass-produced. Britain published BS 1363 in 1947, built for the post-war housing boom. The country was wiring millions of new homes at once and needed one standard that would work safely for everyone. They picked the most paranoid option available. The earth pin (the large top prong) is longer than the other two. When you push a British plug in, the earth pin goes in first. Inside the socket, it presses a lever that opens two metal shutters covering the live and neutral slots. A fork pushed into an empty British socket hits only shutters. The shutters block it. The two conducting pins are also coated in plastic for their lower half. A plug halfway out of the wall is still safe to touch. You would have to pull it completely clear before any live metal is exposed. Inside every plug is its own fuse. UK homes wire their sockets in a loop called a ring circuit, which runs at 32 amps, enough to melt a lamp's cord if the cord fails. So each plug carries a fuse matched to the appliance: 3 amps for a lamp, 13 for a kettle. When something goes wrong in your appliance's wiring, only that plug's fuse blows. The standard US plug (flat two-pin or three-pin) has none of the pin coating and no individual fuse. American building codes began requiring shuttered outlets in new construction in 2008, decades after Britain made shutters standard. Even those newer shuttered versions lack pin coating and plug-level fuses. Britain's plug is bulky because a fuse, a shutter mechanism, insulated pins, and three contact prongs all need room. The plug looks the way it does because safety engineers refused to sacrifice any of those features to make it smaller, and that decision is now 79 years old.

@ih8mylifeffs @Orekifan_ You can certainly absorb passive elements of the game's story by watching it, but you can't get the full experience. You don't build the same level of connection without directly being involved in it. Shadow of the Colossus, for example, doesn't work if you're not playing it.

@UlimaxFan @Orekifan_ Ok let me meet you halfway. I understand that the concept of shaping your own story is usually the main appeal of RPGs. Its what makes videogames unique, because its your own interactable story/game. That being said, that narrative you say can be driven from just watching an LP

The biggest disconnect with this discourse is that some people believe the story and gameplay are two separate things that never interact with each other

@Orekifan_ Shadow of the Colossus would fold these people.

@AvaTarrMain The problem is you're removing gameplay from the story experience and that's not how games work. Gameplay and story aren't separate entities, they're intertwined.

we love the classism from the "didnt play the game then youre a larper" crowd when the answer for this whole debate is, if you know the story, the characters and the characterisations and you like it then youre a fan but youre not allowed to comment on gameplay

@Mokostrukk But why do you feel the need to understand the story and characters of a game you won't play in the first place? If something appeals to me, I engage with the thing in question.

I'm sorry this entire debate is stupid: Yes, in a MODERN era, pirating games is an option for MOST people! However, if your PC or phone cannot run a game you want to play? A playthrough is a good alternative to understand the story/charactersl

@ih8mylifeffs @Orekifan_ Which is something you don't have to do. Great example of what I'm talking about actually. The player shapes the narrative via their interactions. But the point is, Kratos' whole self reflective arc relies on you having those slaughtered hundreds of enemies along the way.

@UlimaxFan @Orekifan_ Nothing says immersion like pressing circle to fuck the hooker

@ih8mylifeffs @Orekifan_ I'd say you're missing the whole point of God of War. There's a reason you're always in control of Kratos' most violent antics. You're supposed to question yourself for gleefully caving Hercules' skull in or gouging Poseidon's eyes out.

@Orekifan_ I get that point but also like…thats the exception to the rule. Like yes interacting does have its value and its what makes games unique in comparison to movies, but if im watching someone hack through enemies in GoW instead of doing it myself, im not losing much

@bearIysane @pricefieldism @stinkydinky325 Stay ignorant, I guess.

@UlimaxFan @pricefieldism @stinkydinky325 yeah and i dont get to feel the smoothness of the keys beneath my supple fingers or whatever i dont give a shit. not physically experiencing every little moment of playing a game doesnt make you not a fan.

i don't get the "you have to physically play a game to say you're a fan" take at all like yeah obviously watching a playthrough isn't the exact same experience but i don't think you can't say you're a fan of it just because of that?

@Zeak__Ninja @AccelRiderX @tinytransfem @monkeyfeetlover Yes, but those other things are intrinsically linked to the gameplay.

@UlimaxFan @AccelRiderX @tinytransfem @monkeyfeetlover There’s other things besides gameplay

man people who are "anti" watching playthroughs of games are so stupid cause how do you think this comparable at all 😭 watching a longplay of a game is the equivalent of listening to an audiobook is it the exact same? no, but you're still getting most of the experience

@bearIysane @pricefieldism @stinkydinky325 You're just not getting it.

@UlimaxFan @pricefieldism @stinkydinky325 and IM telling you if nothing about my specifc gameplay changes the outcome of the story then it doesnt matter if i played the shit or not.

@dimitri_barron @skeleoncemore -those characters you built relationships with and the world you all inhabited for the duration of that journey. That impact is severely lessened if you just watch someone else go through it. You haven't engaged with the world and characters in the same way they have.

@dimitri_barron @skeleoncemore You're so close to getting it. Let me put it to you another way. Let's say you play a JRPG to the end. You have been active participant in that story. You've actively engaged with the world and characters. When you beat the boss and save the world, you have to say goodbye to-

I muted this for my own sanity but it's always funny every single analogy people make up for this discourse is just incredibly wrong
