I find it hilarious how they justify their awful review in every article "Prior to Netflix's The Witcher receiving less than favorable reviews from some critics". Yet, they never mention the positive reviews it has received, especially from the audience via sites like IMDB.
@bgres077: They're actually not. There's a lot of top levels that are very interesting and unique. There's also a lot of people who make a set of levels which feels like a "world" from a main Super Mario game. There's also plenty of communities online where people share some really great levels that would feel at home in a main Mario game :)
@dtemos42: "Zelda is far from a good franchise". Oh my goodness haha. Easily the most stupid post I've seen in a while, hoping for your sake you're trying to troll..
@Barighm: Yes I do know. I've played every Final Fantasy, 1-15. Finished every single one but 13 (I hated it too). But that's not what we're talking about here is it?
Them changing the direction of the franchise in recent titles (and not for the better, in my opinion as well) is not purely about greed. They are Japanese, they take their time with their releases and don't churn out a game per year. COD, FIFA, AC etc, that's greed.
You think they're taking so long to develop this game because of pure GREED? Come on man. Open your eyes and stop jumping on the hate train before we even know what the damn game is really like. FF 13 was a massive disappointment for me, and here I am excited for the game.
@Barighm: Not purely greed at all. Some greed? Sure.
They want to flesh out the world more, with for example, Midgar being a complete explorable location (rather than the small area it is in the original). Sure, part of it is to sell more FFVII, because they could scale it back and make one disc and keep the content similar to the original. They have already stated numerous times that each FFVII release will be equal in size to a normal FF core game.
Myself? I want as much FFVII as I can get, I don't want a straight remake, I have the original on PS4 for that. Give me a reimagined FFVII with more story, characters, and locations to explore than ever. I'm in!
@lostn: Look dude, I respect your commitment, but come on. You know that's far too much text for me to read and reply to in a reasonable manner in a comments section. I agree with more of your opinions than I expected, and I disagree with a few. Anyhow, it's kind of pointless for us to debate at this stage.
@lostn: No I wasn't, pretty sure it was evident it would be released on PC all along.
I don't disagree with you that they could release it day 1 if they want to, nor that they hold the PC port back on purpose, but I'm telling you the game couldn't release day 1 on PC without extra work/dev time to ensure it wasn't an extremely basic port. You say things as if they are fact, when they are not.
Playable on PC does not mean optimized for all different kinds of hardware, operating systems, etc etc, not to mention taking advantage of the platform. I'm a game developer and I know this from experience. Yes, they have the resources and can do that if they want to, for whatever reason they don't and could not release it day 1 without extra effort.
Lastly, you are confused with developed FOR PC and developed WITH PC in mind. The most important thing was ensuring the game ran on PS4/XB1, not PC. I don't need some unreliable source to tell me what's what, I have 5 years experience in the field.
@lostn: Damn, I remember your name. Let's just say you sure made a lasting impression on me, I remember you claiming FFXV could/should be released immediately on PC just because it was developed on PC lol, as if optimization wasn't a thing. Anyway, atleast we finally got it... Better late than never, woo!
