It’s honestly kinda crazy how long some games spend in development. The Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is a perfect example of something that should’ve been quick but ended up being so bloated and took forever to make.

FF7Remake was announced in 2015, got stuck in development hell for a bit, released 2020. The sequel released 2024. The third one still hasn’t been teased yet. How many people are attached to a franchise if it takes 10 years to get the full story? I loved the first remake but dropped the second one, I just didn’t care about the story as much as I did ~5 years ago.

    Wow, what a jackass.

    “I understand we live in a time where a meow from someone who has different beliefs as you is scary and frustrating, confusing and controversial…” McMillen said, “but it felt interesting so I decided to explore it. Also, I should probably point out that I don’t share the same opinions as, well, probably any of the people we included. If I only included people who share the same exact opinions as me, I’d be the only one meowing in the game.”

    Being pro-murder isn’t a difference of opinion. What a fucking psychopath.

      humor of a twelve year old with the morals of a south park character.

        I just realized that that game was made by Edmund McMillan.

        Honestly if you have played any of that devs games you would have known going in that that is basically exactly how you might describe most of them.

          The only reason I even checked out a game named “Mewgenics” was because it was Edmund. I put up with his (literal) shit in Isaac because both it and this game are very well designed from a gameplay perspective. Not gonna reward putting murderers, rapists, and genocidal zionists in a game about doing cat eugenics though.

            I’ve been playing Issac again lately because Northern Lion has been releasing videos again.

            Still a great game.
