The title and thumbnail treatment degenerated into clickbaity territory. They prefix Wipeout and F-Zero instead of the actual game title (which has been changed since the initial upload) and put in those cringey text on the thumbnail along with an image of Ben's head in the bottom. It's starting to devolve into those same-y YouTube content that's trying to game the SEO and attract eyeballs of the general YouTube audience. It's akin to every game you see on the app store that has a thumbnail of a side profile of a dude yelling.

Not a fan. Giantbomb doesn't need to trick the YouTube engine to get views. It's main revenue engine is Premium, not ads like most of the YouTube content creator population. Yes, you're hoping the YouTube population transitions over to become Premium members, but honestly by doing so you're just making Giantbomb's content look same-y with everyone else on YouTube and diluting the brand.

Isn't this game supposed to be out on May 25, 2017 according to Steam?

The wiki is listing it as a May 22, 2018 release.

I would love to tell you if it weren't for the fact that they region locked it.

Heard some chatter on the Steam forums that the frame rate's cap.

Why is region locking still a thing?

Shenmue.

How can Kratos be in this game? He stabbed himself with Zeus's sword. The sword that's supposedly the only thing that can kill Gods and Titans? The sword which also killed Zeus and Gaia in one strike?

Did they retcon the ending of 3? They shouldn't cheapen the ending of 3 like that...

I think I'm channeling Jeff's sentiments when he described his experience with the game on the Bombcast many months ago. I just can't seem to find a reason why this is a good Final Fantasy game. Didn't people say this was one of the best Final Fantasy games?

I finished 7, 9 and all of the 13s and yet I cannot stomach more than 5 hours of this game. The main character is a whiny brat with daddy issues, constantly throwing tantrums whenever anyone mentions Jecht and I can't find any redeeming qualities to this person. The story just seems to channel so much attention to this dumb sport. I didn't like the English voice acting, so I switched it to the Japanese one with the mod and that doesn't sound all that spectacular either. The combat is kinda whatever, just that I'm constantly wrestling with the targeting system. The Sphere Grid looks complex and I'm sure it'll be a pain in the ass later on when maxing out stats. The menu system doesn't seem to tell me what "Firestrike" or "Distill Speed" is - I remember in 7 and 9 you could press triangle or something and get additional info.

Are there any redeeming qualities to this game? Does the main character stop behaving like a 14 year old? Does the story pick up? Do any of the aforementioned happen soon? I just arrived in Luca and the thing that sapped whatever remaining enthusiasm I had for this game was the 10+ sections of Blitzball tutorials.

Help me find a reason to like this product. I'm trying, honest!

And a million cries around the world could be heard.

Resonance of Fate, Vanquish, Valkyria Chronicles 2 and 3, the list of Sega properties goes on.
