Shagger

I haven't used Reddit is quite a while, but I do have one and would be happy to help you out.

I must admit, I really don't like playing these types of games on console, so maybe I'm not the one to give advice on this. However, if there is an RTS game that plays well on console, I'd look into Xcom. I know it's not what you were asking for, but some there are some JRPGs that might scratch that itch as well.

First off, great topic. I'll check out the videos later as I'm kind of in the middle of something, but this a cool feature within these games that I didn't really know about.

There's enough people on here who don't speak English as a first language, but still post legibly albeit with some errors. Sadly, there is also enough people who post content that's hard to understand because they don't care and are only interested in getting as many posts done as possible. Let me tell you from experience it is very easy to tell the difference. Posts that you and the other members is who don't speak English as a first language are still understandable. A few minor grammatical errors and spelling mistakes isn't going to bug anyone. It is perfectly acceptable and isn't actually what makes there "other" people's post hard to read. It's more about thier post being structured badly and convoluted because it's the act of someone typing in a rush. The act of someone who hasn't thought it through and obviously doesn't proof read anything before posting it. I believe that you make fantastic posts, and you do, because you take your time. Just because the reason you take your time is because of language difficulties, doesn't change the positive effect it has. Hell, even as a native English speaker I can take just as long as you on a post because I'm a horrible typist and make errors all the time, but taking the time I need to get it good enough, just like you do, helps a great deal. You should have seen the mess this very post would have been if I hadn't gone back... twice. I know you're disappointed that your request didn't gather the support you hoped in this this early stage (Ultimately, it's up to @DC, not me or anyone else, so you should not get discouraged anyway), but I can't be anything else but honest and I think that this is a fix for something that isn't broken. Give yourself a little credit, like I said the quality of the content you put on VGR from the very start has been superb. I could be convinced to champion for the edit window to be extended a little bit, maybe to 15 minutes, but I can't get behind 30 minutes, I'm sorry.

Right now, people can edit thier own posts for 10 minutes after originally posting it. I would personally say that is sufficient for the vast majority of posts that are made on this forum. What people really should do it proof read thier posts before sending them to give you all the time you might need to look for and correct errors. I understand what you're saying, especially with regard to longer posts. I also must confess I'm as bad anyone for only finding mistakes after I've posted something, but in the end what I should have done was look harder for those errors before posting it, and that's a responsibility everyone has. If we extended that limit (especially to the kind of lengths you desire like above 15 minutes), we would invite abuse to the system like somebody changing thier statement to better argue against a point that was made after thier original post. It's much a better habit to have a good look through your post before sending it, and a shorter edit window I believe helps encourage that behaviour. If it were to change, I maybe would be happy with it at 15 munities as opposed to 10, but anything longer than that and it it could cause more problems than it solves and it wouldn't solve this problem described in this thread as the so called "post farmers" don't care enough about thier posts to re-read and correct them. Not in a 10 minute long edit window, not in a hour long edit window, it would change nothing.

This is just about as short sighted and idiotic a move I've seen from a major game company. For us as the gamers I can't say for sure whether that will be a good or a bad thing, but Square Enix will regret this. Somebody really didn't think this through. It is at least a promising situation for IP's like Legacy of Kain to have new games that might not have happened.

That won't be necessary. Doesn't change the fact that you should not have brought this up on the forum itself. If such a thing happens again, send the message to @DC like you did and leave it at that.

@Grungie, you would do will by listening to @Reality vs Adventure. It's quite clear to me that you were debating with @The Blackangel the person, not the mod', and it was a person she decided to leave the conversation before things got out of hand. Her being a mod clearly had nothing to do with this, but then you play the victim and imply that there was some sort of abuse of power, which quite honestly is ridiculous. She didn't edit your posts. remove any of them nor threaten you with such actions or any action within her power as a mod. However, making false claims that we are abusing our power on the public forum is NOT something that I'm prepared to tolerate. Even if @The Blackangel is, I'm not. If you felt @The Blackangel was taking it to far, why wouldn't you report it? So I'm giving you two choices: Make a formal complaint with either myself or @DC. The claim will be looked at in a professional and impartial manner, but bear in mind I have already looked at this thread and whilst it was certainly a heated debate, I didn't see either of you break any rules. Apologise to @The Blackangel for the false claim. I'm not going to let you post anymore until you do one or the other.

First, there was no gameplay in the trailer, it was a cinematic trailer. Second, nobody sang anything. There were two musical tracks and they were both instumental. There Did you actually watct it?

I know that the laws regarding sexual consent, content and exposure in Japan are complicated, but that's not what this is about. I can also see that in you that I am talking to someone who knows thier shit, so I'll get right to the point. Japan "dumbing down" JRPG's for the western market isn't something that happens anymore, but it has happened more recently than FF4. Final Fantasy XII was released in the west with it's rubbish levelling system made for the west in 2006. It was 11 years before we got the good version, the "International Zodiac Job System" version, when they released "The Zodiac Age" in 2017. That was only 5 years ago, so I'm not giving them the benefit of any doubt.

I had heard of the game, but never played it. I do feel the need to disagree with the idea that JRPG's aren't popular in the west. Not because it's a false claim, on the contrary it could be true, but because the companies that make these games need to know we like them over here. And also that we like them as they are, without the dunning down that has happend to western ports of JRPG's in the past.

Gotta be this. I haven't played the game yet, but this trailer For Shadow Warrior 3 is brilliant.

Why would you want to visit Stonehenge now anyway? There isn't quite as many orgies held there as there use to be. Oh crap, I did it didn't I...

I'll assume that's a mod, right?

Whilst I was updating this, I decided to post a little "bump" now just in case some more recent member are unaware of the threads for PS+, Free Games With Epic and of course this one for XBox Live Games with Gold.

I remember Devil Daggers, what a surreal experience that was. I think the longest I was able to last was about a minute or so. I don't know about games where you're doomed the moment you start playing and it's all about just about lasting as long as you can, I personally find it hard to motivate myself to play games like that. Not that I don't understand the appeal because I do. I would even go so far as to say everyone should try Devil Daggers at least once. It looks great and the atmosphere is just as daunting as the gameplay itself.

The untraceable nature, whether it really is untraceable or not, is just another thing that puts me off. There's certain types of people that would be tempted by crypto' for that very reason and odds are these are people you don't want anything to do with, much less do business with.

There's a toolbar above the textbox. There are various functions on it, including a option to change the text colour

It is possible to steam your Gamepass games to a phone or tablet.

You made some tough calls, but I feel you made the right ones. I'm confident that this is a step in the right direction.

The two I would have mentioned have already been mentioned, them being Ian Alexander and August Aiden Black. Other than that, I can't immediately think of any more. Elliot Paige starred in Beyond Two Souls before his transition, so at the time he still identified as a woman (Although it's likely he was unhappy doing so as many transgender people are pre-transition.) and played a cisgender female character, so I don't think that really counts. I will say I don't feel transgender characters need to appear more or less in games, but it certainly needs to be handled like how TLOU 2 and Tell Me Why did buy actually casing trans' actors when they do.

Honestly, I envy anyone tasked with figuring out Mario's cannon. It's something that has ripped and and re-built so many times, not to mention the character was created at a time stories and lore for video games were any never complex than "Save the Princess". I hate to make this worse, but somehow Donkey Kong has to factor into this as Mario first appeared as the hero in Donkey Kong before Mario Brothers. Even if we ignore the movie (and frankly, we should) this is a jigsaw puzzle where half the pieces have changed shape and colour.
