Top Tier Content! Can't wait to play Rebirth. Just finishing up Stellar Blade camps for the Platinum

I totally agree as well. I struggle w/ having enjoyed 90% of my time with Remake and feeling like the last few hours ruined it for me. But because the whispers and multi-timeline plot calls so much attention to itself, I think it’s fair game. I get the vibe fans don’t like or even want to acknowledge this criticism, “It’s not for you then!” …90% of it was tho lol

Hey guys, just wanted to address Hoeg. I feel like you're right on the money and verbalized exactly how I felt about it. The Remake name suggests a different product and therefore was disappointing when I was trying to figure out what it all meant after having finished it. Even though I liked the aesthetics and gameplay while playing it, the more I think about it's deeper message, the more it bothers me. WHY did my favorite game have to be remade with this meta-commentary towards remakes attached to it? The original game already had a great theme of environmentalism. Why add another theme that distracts from the original? In a way I feel extremely jealous of people that love Resident Evil because they get what I think we should have gotten. A faithful recreating of the game they loved with new visuals. Anyway... Rant Over. Great podcast! Thanks guys.

Rude is South American, apparently.

Not sure why they couldn't name more black characters besides Barret...there is also Rude, orphanage lady and one of Corneo's arena announcers, probably more side characters or random npcs too.

Is there some kind of technology issue with the live audio stream for recording LSM shows lately? I’ve noticed that everyone seems to talk over each other a lot lately. It was especially bad in this.

I also think playing OG FF7 absolutely ruins Remake. Seeing the events of Midgar happen in 3 hours in the OG take 20 hours in Remake. You feel every ounce of padding and it ruins the game. I fell off it, halfway through, back when it came out on PS4 and couldn’t bring myself to get through it on PS5. But this game is easily the worst critically acclaimed game I’ve ever played. Simply cause of the pacing. But so far I’m halfway through Rebirth and it’s the best PS5 game I’ve played easily.

I sort of listened to Colin. I’ve been playing through OG FF7 but only up till I need to. So when I beat the Midgar part, I played FF7 remake. Now I’m playing a few areas ahead in OG and then playing rebirth. Then when I catch up in Rebirth I go a little more ahead in OG. It’s the way ya dig

it's not. that stuff was detailed in the original cyberpunk books, it's part of the lore since the 80s
