Do you not have skips in the US? Thats just how they work. Its so you can stack a few empty skips in the back and tip them out doing that when they're full. Obviously you can just load and unload thrm full, dont have to tip them out.

Yeah no, we have trucks that carry around dumpsters or dump them into the truck or both. I was just looking at those chains and thinking something was gonna go horribly wrong and it was like, nope: trash in your garden. fin

We've added an ammo counter and now you can only fire 10 arrows per day, but you can buy a Colossal Treasure Chest of Arrows to fire an additional 20 for $4.99. Colossal Chest arrow buff lasts for three hours.

Instant fast travel portals, $2.99 each; pack of 3 for $10. What a value! Save time and get straight to the colossus fight with Ancient Demonic Magic! (Ancient Demonic Fast Travel Portal Skin DLC $5.99/mo)

Avoid the tension of a grip gauge! Get the Power Glove Perk DLC for $3.99 and never slip again! Power Glove DLC cannot be removed or uninstalled once purchased.

Skips aren't really dumpsters, they're not for general rubbish. Usually you'll hire a skip if you're gutting a house or something, you're not supposed to put household waste in them.

It's not going to live up to your memories of the original. You will be disappointed.

All I want in life is FF7 remake and GTA:SA remake.

With FF7 on the way, all I can say is "don't gently caress this up, don't gently caress this up" but I suspect they've forgotten what made FF7 good in the first place. It's like an entirely different Cloud in Advent Children compared to FF7.

I mean, its not gonna be an RPG so if that's what made FF7 good then you're not gonna be happy.

But I don't see them loving with the characters or dialogue at all. Cloud is a different Cloud in Advent Children because it takes place after ff7. That's called character development, Ak Gara!

I mean, as much character development as a massively whiney emo character like Cloud can have, anyways. But the whole point of Advent Children was Cloud is moving on from Aeris and Zack and is changing as a person.

Psychonauts 2 won't be terrible, but will fail to recapture the charm of 1.
Shenmue 3 will be poo poo. The old games were testament to what a dev could do with cutting edge hardware, a bold vision and no one saying 'stop, you're bankrupting us'
3 will be short and cheap and include the worst and most dated gameplay elements of the originals because someone thought that's what people are nostalgic for.

Responding in here so it doesn't clutter up the picture thread.

Nope. Its a safety issue to me. Along with the 650 being what I wanted in the first place until you folks talked me out of it.

True. I realize this. I'm totally glad I started out on the 300 and not the 650. My biggest concern was freeway. Its a safety issue to me not being able to escape a dangerous situation (car rapidly approaching behind me, cars merging into my lane, etc) at freeway speeds (which is 80% of my commute). I know everyone is like "car experience means nothing" but I drive a 400HP Mustang for a reason (and that reason is not 2nd gear, fun as it is). When I hit the gas, in 6th, the thing moves. The 300 was/is a great bike to run, and I'm considering selling it and buying an older/cheaper one to turn into a track bike, but it feels dangerous to me on the freeway when turning your wrist does *nothing* and downshifting takes you basically to red line already. This bike feels far more composed and has both better responses and better brakes. I'm 100% in love with it. I'm a deliberately careful rider, no hooning around for me and atgatt always. The 650 is still a twin, I know I'm not ready for a 600.

The 650 is close enough that co-workers won't realize I changed bikes, but it looks great. Love the look and color scheme.

And yes, I've been super busy every day since I first bought it. I don't out for pleasure riding enough. I think, on this bike, that will be far more common.

As great as that game is, I'm really not interested in buying it again for a third time unless they add some new things that don't mess up the game's story/atmosphere. It would be cool if they changed the temple so that you can climb up higher than the secret garden.

He can be emo and still have a quip now and then. It's not like he's known for his quips. He still spends most of the game complaining and brooding.

I'd be more excited about a FFVI remake, but I'd actually want them to change the gameplay to modernize it. I'd still want it to be an RPG, but just with more to the system. None of this will ever happen, but a boy can dream. :sigh:

I think he's most well known for getting a bunch of cross dressers to make him look pretty enough to convince a fat creep he's a hooker.

The closest Cloud really gets to brooding in the original game is when he fell into the weird magic goo that put him in a coma and he remembers his whole life was a lie.

Maybe. Squall was definitely more broody, but I remember Cloud being a bit of a whiner too. He's still not known for much else because he's a bad character. Zidane from FFIX is the one known for being a smartass.

If all of FFVII was as good as the Midgar part, I wouldn't dislike it so much.

Just replay the original. Square hasn't released a good Final Fantasy since IX and that was like 17 years ago. There's just no market for old school turn based RPGs. Unless it's Dragon Quest I guess.

We don't actually know what they're doing with the FFVII remake anymore because they recently got rid of the third party developer they were working with and started doing the game internally and hiring for it. Also the farthest they've shown in the game is the boss fight with the Guard Scorpion. I would take whatever they've said about how it works with a grain of salt, and to also not expect it for years as they've already said not to expect it for the next three.

For reference, the third party developer was CyberConnect, who did the .hack games (an episodic RPG series on PS2) and also are trying to sell off Hitman, which the latest was an episodic game. It could be that they're scrapping the episodic nature seeing as how that's been the number 1 complaint and Hitman didn't actually sell that well.

Even if it's action based that doesn't make it not an RPG, but who knows what's going on with that anymore. Just keep in mind that they seem to have taken Nomura off of it as well, as that recent batch of updates that announced they weren't having CyberConnect help also said they're putting the lead programmer of Mobius FF (a mobile game) as the project lead.

This is a flawlessly hit ball if you are looking to confuse an infield. That's the shortstop's ball for a couple reasons, he's physically closest to the play and as the shortstop has priority over all other infielders.
