Not super Nintendo, but in my opinion the best game based on a movie for any console is probably GoldenEye: 007 on n64
- Comment on 'My personal failure was being stumped': Gabe Newell says finishing Half-Life 2: Episode 3 just to conclude the story would've been 'copping out of [Valve's] obligation to gamers' 5 days ago:
Shame Ubisoft doesn’t feel this obligation to gamers. If they did, we’d probably only have 4 assassin’s Creed games

They’ve been burning through multiple billions quarter over quarter during all those buybacks too. Sounds like poor leadership to me.

If they fix some of the wonky character animations during cut scenes, it might be worth it for that alone.
- Comment on how is final fantasy XVI 1 month ago:
Okay, so I played through final fantasy 16 on PS5, and well… Let’s just say I’m not in any hurry to play through it again.
Once you’ve figured out how the combat works, there’s really no additional depth to it. The summon fights look spectacular but aren’t all that engaging. Lots of spectical, The game is absolutely gorgeous, but it’s so so shallow in gameplay. The side quests are extremely boring. The main story is ok too. They really tried to be a lot more serious like game of thrones, but still kept it like right below that mature line, so it felt like a half measure to me.
There is absolutely no depth to the weapons or equipment outside of ‘number go up’. There aren’t any elemental weaknesses in you or the enemies, so The only challenge comes from the actual fighting technique, perfect blocks perfect parries, and chaining together different summon powers. If you like the combat, you’ll enjoy doing the monster hunts, but there aren’t many hunts compared to other ff games.
Overall, the story is decent, if a little lacking in focus. I’d probably say it’s worth picking up on sale, but it is not really worth the current price tag at all. It really is a shell of a final fantasy game compared to the past games. It’s a great looking action game, but it’s shallow.

Oh to be someone outside, looking in at this series… It must look absolutely insane lol. As someone who’s been playing these games for years now, this feels right at home for this series to me.

FYI, you can use the same account, you don’t need two.
But the Point still stands, there’s no good reason for a PSN requirement for this game.

Yes, absolutely. If you made a PlayStation account back then, the same account will work. You don’t need 2.

I edited my original post before you replied, but yeah what you said makes sense.
I dunno if that you can do much remotely, honestly. I kinda feel like something might have corrupted? What kinda system are you using? Any more details you can provide?
- Comment on Nginx 502, ssh not working. 4 months ago:
Does your router have an app or way of letting you remotely see if the server is even showing on your home network?? It could be a physical disconnect or Ethernet port failure, maybe? A reboot wouldn’t help if the issue was related to something like that.

Yep, bought a lifetime license like a decade ago when it was cheap. I’ve stuck with it since it’s been simple for my family to use.
