I'll finally be sold on Dark Order if they rename themselves the Tetrominos.

I am really interested to see how they handle overworld travel in the remake. It could be a huge world that'd be tough to travel without some kind of vehicle (and unlike FF15 there's nothing like the Regalia). Though there are always chocobos. They could go so many ways with that if they wanted. Could just introduce the buggy earlier. 8 had a car rental service, could use that idea here. 6 had Choco rentals from towns. Hell, they could allow the party to keep the Hardy-Daytona and the 3 wheeled truck from the shrina escape mini game.

Haha, dude seems to need a handler on when to not have the foot all the way down on the pedal.

Love the flick.
Hate that the character isn't a part of pop culture anymore really, I think he has one of the best rogue galleries ever.

I kinda like that clash actually. Might already be growing on me.

Black Scorpion at least had a point and a goal. A shitty point and goal, but a wrestling goal nonetheless.

I'm just waiting for the Conrad Thompson podcast 15 years from now with someone who is backstage currently. Hearing the behind the scenes saga of the almost-but-then-wasn't monster will be kinda fascinating.

I like the top Dakota Kai one. Reminds me of that one Mindless Self Indulgence album cover.

Yeah I totally did that. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}I caught on to that change too, spitballing with my stepson about how that takes a bit of burden/guilt away from Avalanche. Real curious to see where that goes. Also, two story beats teased here in the demo: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Jessie talking about how she has a man on the inside of Shinra. That's gonna be a thing. Also, President Shrina talking about a recent attempt on his life but being uncertain if this group has anything to do with that. Sounds like we're getting some more pieces in the political puzzle here. {Spoiler}{Spoiler} {Spoiler}{Spoiler}I think President Shinra was referring to the events in Before Crisis, a Japanese-only mobile game that came out around the same time as other Compilation entries like Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus. In that game, where you play as the Turks, Avalanche was a much bigger and more organized group. And also far more extreme in their methods. One of the leaders named Fuhito wanted to summon something called Zirconiade to destroy all life on the planet so the lifestream could reset the world after the damage Shinra did to it. Also wouldn't be surprised if Jessie's inside man ended up being Reeve. {Spoiler}Ah yeah now I remember reading up on that before, thanks. I never had a chance to play any of the other VII titles. I wish they'd at least port Dirge or Crisis Core.
Mm yeah connecting the Reeve dots early or at least teasing it would be neat. If the Avalanche B Team still gets crushed it'll be interesting getting his take on that later. Especially considering since he and Barret have such a contentious relationship at times.

King Corbin and the dog food really killed WWE for me for a good while now. That was the first show I skipped. I've had enough of the Baron Corbin show. I'm going to go watch Korean dramas instead. Bread Love and Dreams is really good. Also, I recommend Pasta.

Also was it just me or... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}The bomb Avalanche set failed to do any critical damage, and President Shinra had the leftover mechs in the area do the job for them? If that's the case, that's a pretty big deviation from the original game already and makes me wonder what other parts of the storyline they'll change. And did anyone else look at all the ads and posters in the subway station? Some amusing fanservice there. Yeah I totally did that. {Spoiler}I caught on to that change too, spitballing with my stepson about how that takes a bit of burden/guilt away from Avalanche. Real curious to see where that goes.

I’ve been pretty vocal about waiting until the whole game is out until I buy it, but this demo has me thinking maybe differently. I said the same thing about waiting. Then I played the demo and was like yeah no way I'm gonna hold out, might as well bite the bullet now.

Renee is a hell of a talent and any assumptions that WWE is trying to keep her happy for the sake of Mox or AEW or whatever lawsuit is selling her short IMO. Not saying I see that come up often really, but I do see her placed behind her husband as a kinda bargaining chip in these discussions and I find it odd.
Far as I can tell, it's all as simple as she's a valued and respected employee.

Imo, in this day and age, guys like Riccochet are a dime a dozen. Great in the ring, not much else. Sadly, yeah. Flippy flashy characters are having the same problem good work-rate type characters are having. They work best when they're not the standard. It's so weird right now. All these super physically crisp guys are everywhere and they're so amazingly talented, but they kinda all make eachother feel less important. In an age where everyone is just so damn good at the wrestling bits, ya gotta have something to stand out. Ricochet hasn't found what his is yet.

He was fine as an outsider kinda fan perspective until he decided he wanted to get a character over during that Bianca crap. He didn't decide on anything. Vince wanted him to play that character. And since you all hate him so much, he's doing his job and deserves every penny that Vince pays him. He's a nice guy in real life. I listen to Jim & Sam every day on the way to work. Neat.

Cream rises and she's done nothing to rise nomatter where she goes. I'm a fan of her goofy charisma so that does disappoint me.
I think it's possible she's a case like Sandow and has just had her weaknesses covered well. Unlike Sandow though she didn't have the equivalent of his TNA run where she got super exposed yet, so at least it's a question.

Any images of him pop up yet in a suit with the tat yet? He cleans up hella sharp, gonna be weird seeing this thing pop up out his finely pressed collars.

I don’t like it when Charlotte, Triple H or anyone else goes overboard either. How can you be a wrestling fan and hate the idea of over-the-top theatrics? Like, that's something that Bill Watts would've said. Enough with the gatekeeping attempts.

Played the demo during my downtime today and it's amazing how they captured the perfect combination of 7, 15 and exactly how we imagined 7 was years ago. Back when we first played 7 this is how it appeared in our minds so to see it fleshed out like this and for it to be as deep as it is is impressive. I don't know about yall but I loved FFXV so much I got a Platinum for it so surely I'm doing the same with this one. I'm gonna replay that demo a few more times so I can get a handle on the combat. The combat system is being underestimated too. That's ridiculously dope. Loved XV. Didn't get the plat, never got around to beating the final turtle mountain hidden boss. This assessment is exactly right. It's VII crossed with XV but hella more refined. I got goosebumps hearing the music. Took me back to my first time playing it back on PS1. Walked my 13 year old stepson through the game over summer which is the same age I was when I finished my first playthrough. I'm ridiculously hyped for this.
