Its got great ideas but it has mega flaws that make me still prefer the original series.

The enemy counts are too low, summoning vehicles spends your reward money (this sucks total rear end), you still have no way to know if a weapon is trash but now its your money bekng wasted vs just a random drop, etc

The first patch for FF7R came out after like six months and people were incredulous that Square still hadn't fixed the low-res textures, saying it had to be a problem with Unreal or something haha.

They got a lot of praise for releasing a game that didn't need a patch, despite the fact that it did need one and has not received it.

It's really funny seeing scenes where something really focal in the camera shot is super low res. Honestly as a 3D artist it's almost reassuring where you've got this unbelievably detailed work and then literally the most important item in the shot looks like an N64 model. You KNOW the devs noticed it but chose not to fix it on purpose, and you can only imagine the reasoning as being something like "Ohhhh gently caress, poo poo, we're too close to the deadline, just ship it and we'll fix it later if we have time maybe this needed to be out the door yesterday."

Do you have a PS4Pro? I have a basic PS4 and I can name really specific examples of really funny bad texture scenes. In the little hotel dorm thing where Cloud/Tifa stay, the doors were super low res so during the cutscenes you would just see this pixelated mess in the background. Also when Cloud is at Aerith's house and they're in the garden picking flowers, the flower Cloud picks up to talk to is basically a cube with a flower drawn on it

idk if it's what they're talking about, but I thought the part where you're under the plate turning off sunlights had an incredibly lovely flat texture for the ground and it was super distracting.

That part too, they use that same mat painting for the Sector 7 tower setpiece too

just finished sonic rivals, a game i had never heard of before starting this. it's a one on one racing game akin to the multiplayer modes in sonic 2 and 3, and you can play as sonic or his many rivals, knuckles, shadow, silver, and metal sonic. the game predates the infamous 06 everywhere but NA's 360 version, making it a kind of weird introduction to silver

as a game it's alright. tons of "hold right" level design and the ai rubberbands like hell, making even S ranks a close race sometimes. very horizontal levels too, and few unique elements to zones besides aesthetic. also the final zone just drops the race mechanic altogether, making those two acts the easiest in the game. but it's a pleasant enough time and none of the individual levels wear out their welcome

next up would be sonic 06 but... I'm just gonna watch a let's play instead while giving secret rings another shot

it's mostly just one weird door and the skybox for the part where you're climbing up to the plate, not really a big deal
