Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (PS5) - Strong Sequel Seeks a New Direction

Ryu_Niiyama

@Shushibda I believe I am confused by your question (or rather its relevancy) but will attempt to answer. My PS5 back log is perhaps 5 games or so (I have very few PS5 games). But I am working through my PS4 backlog before I buy more PS5 games… no point in buying a game day 1 that I can’t get to in a few years. But the demo is fine to play. Because PS is my least played system I have to camp on the system for several games so I get the muscle memory back.

Re: Huge Spider-Man 2 Update Adds New Game+, New Suits, More on 7th March

@DennisReynolds I have been reading the current run Amazing Spiderman and Mary Jane and Black Cat. There was a time dilation and they weren’t together for 4 years with no way of knowing if they would ever get MJ back to 616. I misremembered and thought they had broken up before he left so I acknowledge your point. But also given the circumstances feel that MJ and Paul built a relationship (as much as the inherent shallowness of comics allows) and MJ did break up with Peter pretty quickly when she saw him again. If Peter had just been away for 4 years and MJ had been on 616 as well then sure she broke his trust, but stranded in an entirely different universe and no way home, no contact with Peter, she fell in love and moved on. It’s unfortunate but nothing he could do. She’s not his wife or fiancée anymore so she could move on. Plus they essentially trauma bonded, the kids weren’t real but to her and Paul they were. I still say she has a right to move on. Pete/Marvel made his relationship with her expendable long ago. So I will just see what happens. They likely won’t let her stay with Paul anyway because of fans like you but it sucks that these characters don’t get to grow outside their initial role because essentially what amounts to tradition. (Storm and Jean Grey are also stuck in the orbit of their “traditional “ love interests as well and it’s such bad writing)

Personally I would like to see them stay apart and MJ keep growing as a character beyond Pete but time will tell. I’m gonna ignore the rest of your misogynistic language towards her. Either way I would still love a Jackpot game.or some other iteration of MJ but I like her Jackpot powers.

@DennisReynolds cheat on peter? You can’t cheat on someone you aren’t in a relationship with. One more day irrevocably changed their dynamic and renew your vows didn’t fix it. Nobody cared when Pete was with Felicia (who spends more time with MJ now anyway…so maybe he just has bad luck with women), so why care if MJ has moved on? Pete isn’t the only character she can fall for. Honestly One More Day character assassinated him and 616 Pete can’t really recover from that. But there is a new run of ultimate spiderman on the way…where he is dissatisfied with marrying MJ and them having two kids in lieu of being Spiderman so no telling how he will throw that away. It seems you are only a fan of MJ as one specific role, so you do you. I’m looking forward to the new Jackpot and Black Cat miniseries on the way. Loved their last team up.

@MegaManX-7 Oh sorry, didn’t catch the tone of your post. Well to each their own. My hope for a MJ game was legitimate though. Personally I would like to see Exiles MJ but that will not happen anytime soon. But Jackpot? Jackpot’s powers are nuts. I sorta hate the limiter she has though even if it keeps her power consistent it also keeps her from going Omega Level mutant (she isn’t a mutant just using it as a comparison) on villains. But that might be for the best. MJ depending on the writer has a lot of hidden pain and while i don’t think she would ever abuse her powers others might not accept her brutalizing a non demon villain. Although her as Iron Spider again might be cool.

Re: Soapbox: This Is Why Physical Games Are Still Important to Me

The older I get and the more unaffordable the housing market becomes, the less interested in amassing a horde of stuff I become. When your housing situation is temporary (even if you stay for a few years) you have to be ready to move and that has a cost. Movers, maintaining an apartment deposit (as you usually want to have your next apartment lined up before you move out) storage unit rental and just the time sink of re-setting up a place every time you move is exhausting.

Plus depending on where you can afford to live, it is anxiety inducing having tons of high value items. At this rate i will be in my 50’s before I can afford a house and I will be heading towards declutter/prep for retirement phase. Plus if you play a lot of games finding that sweet spot between a great discount and before it becomes hard/expensive to procure means that digital is usually available longer with a price cap. How many second hand games sell for hundreds? Not worth it anymore.

I just wanna play games. You can’t take it with you in the end and age means you have a time limit before you have to exit the hobby anyway. Digital gives me just as much access. I have easy access to hundreds of games on my Nintendo Switch and I don’t have to change cartridges. PC has done just fine all digital.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Fans' Overt Sexualisation Can 'Ruin Great Story Development', Says Cloud Actor

Ryu_Niiyama

People really do take fandom too far. They become obsessive, many violent or they sexualize characters/objects that were not intended to be viewed in such a way. It one of the reasons companies have to be so vigilant over IP because people take things too far. And that’s before they get to attacking/obsessing over the creators or actors/models involved. Way too many people with no chill ruin the experience for everyone.

Re: PlayStation Reveals Most Played Games of 2023 by Region, Is Basically a Waste of Time

Ryu_Niiyama

People have got to understand, the majority of people that own consoles only play a small subset of games. Software attach rate is usually fairly low in comparison to the total library of a system. And live service drives it lower as you can just play one game until the ens of life of a system. That is partly why devs that need a lot of money have shrunk their output to known sellers (with publisher push) and partly why companies are obsessed with micro transactions. They don’t make that money back otherwise. This list doesn’t surprise me at all.

Re: GTA 6 Hacker Ruled a High Risk to the Public, Sentenced to Life in Hospital

Ryu_Niiyama

Considering the fact that he can access consumer and employee information and he is unwilling to stop being a criminal I say the punishment is apt. I think he deserves jail (especially for the violent crimes) but at least he can’t disrupt the lives of anyone else. Hacking has a real cost and impact. It isn’t some minor thing. People’s lives and livelihoods are impacted when someone thinks they are having fun in the matrix.

Re: Is the PS5 Getting a Spider-Verse Game? Fans Think So

Ryu_Niiyama

@LifeGirl You haven't read the comics in a REALLY long time huh? MJ has even been Spiderwoman (with no powered Peter Parker) a few times. I know you miss 1962, but things have changed...a lot. Granted if you are stuck in the 60's it does mean you didn't have to read Pete sell his marriage to Mephisto (and his Daughter as she was going to be Mephisto's downfall) because he just can't let Aunt May stay dead...again.

Re: Is the PS5 Getting a Spider-Verse Game? Fans Think So

Ryu_Niiyama

If it does I hope I can play as Jessica Drew. Motorcycle Spiderwoman sounds amazing for gameplay. Actually they can bring out a ton of the spider totems that get overlooked gaming wise....Silk, Julia Carpenter (I'd like her pre Madame Webb), Spiderling, Exiles MJ, BRING BACK MAYDAY Parker...there are a lot of Spider people to pull from.

Re: 'Florida Joker' Would Like a Word Regarding That GTA 6 Reveal Trailer

Ryu_Niiyama

@Spider-Kev plenty of work from home/non customer facing jobs. His only barrier to working is himself. My mother did vocational rehabilitation for 50 years… someone will hire him so long as he has reliable transportation and isn’t a danger (uncontrollable) to others. Looking like a DC reject isn’t an excuse. Also there is makeup.
