@IkariX I recently Played the Final Fantasy 7 original for the first time After playing FF7 Remake Part 1 and I didnt enjoy the original at all,It wasnt as good as FF8. However My Current favorite FF game so far is FF16.I also feel like you cant really compare the original to the remake trilogy untill the trilogy is complete.
I still can't get over what an amazing game Blood Of Dawnwalker was. I feel depressed now after finishing it. Everything is so well done in the game, side quest and all.
Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave is so good! Nintendo is delivering banger after banger after banger here. A generational run really while a certain other company flounders in the gutter
I haven't even touched Rebirth yet lol and I really enjoy the Remake stuff, even more so because it's a sequel to the original, but FF has gone downhill overall imo. Trails is my current favourite JRPG series, and it's really not even a close competition.
No one is stopping you from enjoying the FFVII Reamke games. But my point still stands, it's poorly written fanfiction. First time I played Final Fantasy VII was in 1999. Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil 1(I still have both), were my first 2 PlayStation 1 games. So I've played Final Fantasy VII numerous times over the years. What what the Remake games are, are nothing more than imitators.
It's mass market slop at it's finest. Does it make it terrible games? Not at all, Remake Part 1 was fairly decent. But let's not pretend that any of the remake games are as good as the original. I hope Square Enix doesn't touch Final Fantasy VIII. Because they'll ruin that as well.
@phreak - Dont't get me wrong, many fans have valid criticism's with the game and I respect that. And It sucks when a game you're excited for doesn't hit the way you'd hope. I mean as fans we want to enjoy all entries in our favourite franchises.
I feel that as I'm getting older I rather just enjoy games for what they are.
One thing that I am not happy with is that FFVII Revelation will not be fully on disc, even though physical discs are included.
Working man – same old, same old for Jason Statham. Nothing new, you sort of know what to expect.
Venom – Last Dance, must have been the weakest one in the series. Had so much opportunity and went to waste. Pity we will not see the King in Black story arch.
Into the lost lands , bit steampunk, bit dark gothic fantasy. From the pen of GRR Martin. Not a blockbuster movie, but not bad either. Enjoyable watch.
Lethal Weapon 2 Directors Cut
Good, but the first one is a bit better.
Shane Blacks original script was dropped for a new one. He wanted to kill off Riggs, but the studios wanted more sequels aka $$.
A working man - Was pretty boring and drawn out, never seen a movie where they take such a slow pace to find an abducted person, made no sense. Usually enjoy a good Statham popcorn flick but this was boring.
Monster's Ball - rewatch, hard to believe it's been 24 years. Halle Berry and Heath Ledger so young in this. Still good.
Craft Legacy - OK requel.
Inglorioius Bastards - the original Spaghetti WW2 film not QT's much better homage. It's more of a curio. Lots of German WW2 armour still around in 1978. Great little model train station gets blown up.
F Marry Kill - 'comedy' serial killer film. OK but light on any laughs.
Outrun - superb film. Set in Orkney.
The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie - OK
Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins - very meh. Decent reviews though so maybe just me. Fred Ward stars in this 80s action film.
Joker: Folie à Deux - that's one way to deal with the issue of incels co-opting your first film. I'm with QT on this, time will remember this more favourable. It's actually quite a good film.
Redemption - rewatch before it leaves Netflix. Proof that most Statham films are rubbish. Luckily he churns them out so there are enough good ones.
Killer's Game - decent film once it get's going.
Cuckoo - strange horror film. It was different that's for sure.
The Gorge – was ok, no real surprises. Would have known a bit more about the history of the Gorge and what they were really doing. That part had a bit of a Stranger Things upside down world feel to it. The Skull spiders were cool.
ASH – What a load of crap. Got about 20 minutes into the movie.
