  • If we still need to buy one copy of a gamer per simultaneous player,.then the rest of the differences are just ceremony.

    Like I said, to me, the differences are not as cut and dry, it depends on you situation.

    As for the virtual game card, Nintendo actually uses eject, load, and borrow in their article, so it sounds to me it’s basically like a physical game you have to move between consoles, not just simple check.


  • I think you can argue if Steam does the whole sharing thing better than Sony or Microsoft. On Playstation and Xbox you can just by one copy of a game, but play it simultaniously with someone else, but it seems like that’s limited to one other console (setting the home console).

    On Steam you need one copy for every accout playing the game, but you can have 6 accounts in your family, and unlimited devices. Without family share, your own account can only play on one device at a time, but then, why not just make a new Steam account and join a family.

    The virtual game cards from Nintendo are also like Steam, since they need one game copy for each player, but also only on one device.

    Seems to me like Nintendo is not as good as the others, when it comes to sharing digital games. Sharing physical is of course still possible and easy on console.





  • I’ve played three time through Remake. First when it launched on Normal and Hard difficulty, and then again, last December in anticipation for Rebirth.

    While I didn’t mind too much my first time, the game definitely has a lot of very slow sections. Like you mentioned, you are constantly forced to walk very slowly, wait for animations, etc. It really feels like Square tried to pad the game a lot.

    I really liked the combat at first, but my on Hard difficulty it got terrible. I was always annoyed, that your other party members just stood around and never attacked. Rebirth fixed it a little bit, since they actually are doing stuff, just deal basically no damage and don’t get ATB charge. A few fights are also just terribly designed in my opinion, and Rebirth just doubled down here.

    About things not carrying over, I was also a bit disappointed at first, that you basically have to start from scratch in Rebirth, but it wasn’t a big deal. The sequel has other, bigger problems, in my opinion, that drag it down.

    The main reason I still like the game, are the characters. If not for them, the very first playthrough would have been enough.
