"A FFVII remake is technically easy, cheaper than developing a new IP, and very financially viable so it's quite possible there will be a remake and I for one would be quite happy playing it.
Not sure why they wouldn't make it to be honest. "
yeah, they've already remade every game from I-VI, so no reason to screw over VII
"1. Using the + / - system, you can hide the OP, rendering topics with no OP. This means future people coming into the topic might not even read the first post, and since glitches screwed up revealing the post, we just wind up with giant hate-ball topics. I've already seen this - GiantBomb trusted people to have some common sense - instead they use the system to censor things they don't agree with. .
2. The + / - system allows any trolling group to raid the forums and hide intelligent posts. Fifty /b/tards could easily hide every post on the forum that wasn't theirs. Again, trusting the internet to itself is foolish - look at the comments on any YouTube video - is that what we want here? .
3. Moderation. Morons are so excited, talking about how they're "free" and there's no "censorship" and it's not a "kiddy pool". Yeah, but at the same time, ANYONE can come in, hijack the boards, spam, copypasta, rick-roll, and spread cancer all over the place. You will spend most of your time here wading knee deep in **** because hate and spam is the lowest common denominator of the internet. We need to reach a compromise between power-hungry "screw the user" moderation, and "anything goes - GiantBomb forums are my personal blog, twitter, and myspace all rolled into one!". We don't need twitter ****ers posting every two minutes to ask the same dumb questions over-and-over again.
Does anyone here really give a crap what games anyone else here hasn't beaten? Or who their favorite Nintendo character is? You're just going to post your own, go "post count +1" and move on. What waste. .
4. GameSpot-ism. Cry me a river, "Gamespot is the devil", "gamespot sold out", "gamespot did blah blah blah". It doesn't matter - if all GiantBomb is to you is GameSpot minus C|NET and the TOU then that's simply incredibly sad. Y'know what? Jeff and crew don't WANT to be reminded of GS every day, they don't want you to hate on GS every day - they want you to focus on what *they're* offering and what *they're* doing. Grow the hell up, stop crying because you got modded for insulting people on some site you don't like and focus on the here and now.
. 5. Imposters. What we really needed was every minor GS celebrity, IGN celebrity, gaming notable, and game character being used as an account by some dumbass who wants to troll. "Lulz, CaseyWegner AND Yahtzee are both here!" Yeah, right, sure. Get over it - I'm the real Subrosian, message me on GS and I'll be happy to confirm that - but here? Give me a break - I've seen so many fakesters you'd think this was MySpace. Hopefully GiantBomb will let people recover their standard online identities from the hands of trolls - because frankly it's going to be really f-ing annoying to come on GB and see eighty topics posted by someone claiming to be Kevin Vanord who clearly isn't."
