It really is. A lot of Remedy’s stuff I’ve had fun with, but CONTROL was definitely one of their greatest works

The Ally Aggression being on easy was a godsend for my Grounded run of 1, because that meant if I needed too I could hide in cover and let the Allies fight while I heal/reload/etc

Completely agree on the alone encounter too. I felt it a bit with Abby’s story on Normal, specifically the segment with all the Seraphites

I was naive and bought the 3D All Stars Version when it launched. I don’t think i’ll be buying Galaxy 2 though with that price tag

I was legit thinking the same thing when i heard the news. Between that and them bringing the Virtual Boy back it was a surprising event

I definitely prefer the mix over traditional ATB, and i’m starting to get the hang of it.

I haven’t played much FF before (Played half of the remake on PS4 and then had a brush with 14 with a friend). But with how famous 7 is, i definitely know the basics of the plot

Now I’m more excited to get to Rebirth. i wasn’t aware it’s Systems are all too changed. I kind of assumed it was just more of remake and not much else

As someone who’s very picky about his ATB systems, i do much prefer this. I have nothing against the OG, but damn, is the new one so much fun to use

I have not unfortunately. I tried to give it a try on the Xbox Re release but just couldn’t get into it. I want to go back and give it a try though some day

I just finished up The Last of Us Part II, I really enjoyed it and it explores narrative themes I like.

I just set Final Fantasy 7 Remake to download too. It’s been on my list for a bit and I’ve been lining up to play it after Part II for a while

I’m the kind of person that even if I don’t agree with the message of a game, I can respect and like it.

The meta aspect was something I noticed too. Maybe it is cope like you said, but the story making you feel how Ellie feels is the kind of story I love. Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes and all that. I didn’t think of the farmhouse “ending” though, I can see that though because the game officially ends at the farmhouse. So the “better ending” being there I could see, especially with them escaping alive (except for Jesse)

Snooping around fictional people’s homes in The Last of Us is a hobby I never thought I’d have

GTA is one of those games i keep meaning to pick up, and really want to play, but also keep forgetting to buy it. I’ve been eying the 4th one though. I almost considered Payday because i’m like 75% there’s a level that matches in that, but i checked the size and it’s way too big.

I did chuckle to myself a little bit when I noticed the number. It’s a shame I don’t have something to go with the bit, even if I don’t smoke myself

They’re doing a lot better. We’re getting him some more fluids tonight but I think any cause to worry is gone

Do you think he’s more green or Mario? What’s the DNA percentage here?

Sorry, after Mario 64 I get really worked up after seeing anything vaguely penguin shaped within a 5 meter radius of an Italian Plumbers

I feel that lol. The beginning is always the hardest. There’s just so much to do and work out. When I was starting out I was so overwhelmed by it that I pinned a quote to my wall just to motivate me. Once you have that plan all figured out though it becomes so much easier

The 8 endings are definitely the best way to mix the game up in my opinion. For the Demo length i’d say 2 days is definitely a good number without playing too many cards. Then again, it’s your game, so you’d know best. Regardless though, I know how rough being a game dev can be myself, i wish you luck! I hope to see your game one day, it sounds like a genuinely interesting concept

My suggestion would always be the old fashioned way. Prototype it yourself and test it. Though with the nature of yours it sounds like there’s not much you can do with a prototype without just making a whole demo. My suggestion would be to just give it a shot and, like regdog said, validate the expectations early so you can change directions.

As for what I think about it. It’s an interesting idea, especially the Milgram angle, but i’m worried if i watched a streamer play it, there’s not much to see in the game to warrant me to pick it up myself (even with the multiple endings).

It would seem Woodie Flowers is who i’m thinking of. I’m glad the other two are alive though. It’s a shame about the owner, but i also i feel like that death was easily avoidable
