  • Final Fantasy 7 Remake. My god, what a disaster over the original.

    I can’t bring myself to continue it even though (I think?) I’m half way through the game, because while the Sector 5 reactor in the original is, by good game design standards, just a replica of the Sector 7 reactor with less going on - since you’ve already done the same thing earlier on, in Remake they decided to make it an enormous labyrinth that you can’t find your way out of, just because. I guess they needed to extend the playtime.

    That’s just one of many, many things wrong with the game despite an amazing original, but it’s the spot that completely prevents me from loading it up again to continue on. I went and started a new game in the original instead, just to be sure it wasn’t the nostalgia glasses talking. It wasn’t.

    But I guess it looks really pretty.







  • I loaded up TF2 a few months ago just for a quick game, expecting to get into yet another round of I’m-so-over-it 2fort.

    What happened instead of that was a completely nostalgic get-into-any-map-I-wanted round after round of full servers like I’d never put the game away. Dustbowl, Gravelpit, Steel, trying to re-learn all the maps, finding other players who had long since figured out new clever ways to use weapons and classes that I’d always thought of as sub-standard.

    And I’m in a region where there should be less players.
