Oh I had forgot that happened.

Still could totes do it, but that puts it much lower on the to do list.

Edit - hang about I meant 13.

Here I thought FFZA was an offshoot or something and I was really geeked up because I loved FF12. Remasters, ports, blah blah blah, I stopped buying tricks like this when Chrono Trigger got on the PSX and it is a waste of my money.

Hey, at least the remasters now tend to improve the game's performance, rather than keeping everything the same but adding several seconds of load time between screens and menus.

Super hyped for FF12 HD, and all of that hype is because of the IZJS. I played the fan-translated (fan-localization-port?) of FF12 with the proper Job System it basically fixed all the problems I originally had with vanilla FF12. The Job System adds a lot of meaningful choices in character/party building, and also Esper allocation. Not to mention actually making Quickenings and Espers worth using beyond the earlygame. And fixing a lot of the dumb shit like how opening random unmarked treasure chests somehow locks you out of the best gear in the game. Or giving you said gear at like the halfway point and thus destroying all the challenge in the main storyline.

There's just a ton of excellent balance changes. It's like if Laggy modded FF12. Doesn't fix the story/character problems, but the gameplay is just a lot more challenging in good ways.

True, and laggy CG scenes and random freezing. I mean, changes to mechanics is a good think but I also think about how much time I actually put into those games (FF12 was 120Hrs?) and just can't bring myself to do it again. FF7/VP/SF2 are my only exceptions.

People be stealing people's FO4 mods to put on consoles. People who make mods are upset obviously. One of the top modders for FO4 has taken down all of her shit off the Internet until Bethesda resolves the situation to her satisfaction. Of course, the problem with that is that it is punishing the Nexus users even though the problem is with Bethesda's shitty site, so another dude has homebrewed some DRM that corrupts the Xbone's hard drive to use as a poison pill instead. It's like the paid modding thing all over again.

Grefter · « **Reply #1280 on:** June 09, 2016, 06:12:37 AM »

Yeah but with a ton more toxic as fuck shit with actively punishing end users who have very little way of knowing better.

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #1281 on:** June 09, 2016, 06:22:59 AM »

Eh, I think it's all pretty hilarious.

I deal with too many broken IT systems in my day job to enjoy the schadenfreude.

It does tell me Bethesda need to do a ton more quality control at MINIMUM while their content generation community is holding their delivery system at gunpoint.

The guys who own the Nexus came to them and offered to team up but Bethesda told them that they had it covered.

Which is like if Obsidian offered to write Fallout 4 and they said they had it covered.

Nexus could toooootally get away without vetting "This runs on x-blokes" because they are random third party (And it sounds like they might not just do that...)

Bethesda not doing that is fucking appalling.

Is character building still completely blind unless you look everything up on the internet?

The Nexus also, by all indications, has a larger and more capable staff assigned to it than Bethesda's equivalent.

I don't know whether to be saddest about the smugness, the ideas espoused, or the art style.

I think all options are equally valid.

My goodness it is almost as if conservatism strongly correlates with complete lack of empathy for people unlike one's self.

Why yes I am more excited for a three year old port of a 16 year old game than anything else at E3.

E3's been pretty thin this year. Best stuff is...details on stuff announced at E3 last year: Nier 2, Zeldarim, etc.

Grefter · « **Reply #1296 on:** June 17, 2016, 12:19:45 AM »

Well when your cieling for improvements is so high there is a lot of reasons to be kinda hyped. Especially if you have been digging what they have been doing of late like we do (like.... I think we both like everything post DQ7?)

So yeah pretty pumped as well.

Fenrir · « **Reply #1297 on:** June 17, 2016, 12:45:41 AM »

The coolest games aren't really shown at E3 anymore anyway.

E3 however has an exciting opportunity challenge to unlock true epic entertainment to consumers.

Wow you mean the new console is going to be more powerful than previous generations of console?

How unexpected.
