What I didn't read about the game was that any content was cut to make room for it, which makes this thread really strange to read, especially since it's shaping up to be 200GB.

Remake & Rebirth had a dedicated Hard Mode after you beat the game. You re-play the game and bosses are significantly stronger, have better AI, and you need to find out the new hard mode weaknesses. The funnest part of the game for me. It has been confirmed Revelation has no hard mode. Confirmed by Square developers directly to Maxilmillion Doode and he's made multiple videos on it.

Beyond that I'm not going to comment anymore in here (or elsewhere on the board for awhile). This place is full of pile ons. Feels like no matter what my opinions are I get shit for them. (Multi colored ropes being a distraction, Elton John being shit music for wrestling, Revelation taking away hard stuff and adding more easy stuff being lame). No matter what my thoughts are the pitch forks come out. Fuck that man. My mental health is shit enough without you people picking apart every opinion I have and feasting like vultures.

Dude, you told, in this thread, a disabled person to eat your whole ass because you're mad the OPTION to skip content exists and you just want more "punch me in the dick daddy" content and no one else can have a turn, and you're acting like you're not the prick?

Articles specifically say "It's an option, you don't have to choose it". And you're here whining that it even exists.

Man you're acting like a prick. Over nothing. I literally didnt tell anyone to eat any ass. I said Im pissed theyre taking hard mode cintent out and replacing it with easy shit that makes the game weaker.

I guess nuance is a thing you dont do but the argument isn't whaaa I want hard game. The argument is its fucking crazy to me that they are dumbing this shit down so much and its already less enjoyable for me that they took hard content out.

I said above I had no issue with streamlined progression. I have a disabled brother who couldn't play these games until then. So I fucking get it man.

So again, what Im pissed about is not what you're accusing me of. So take it down a few notches.

Im gonna come back and screen shot this post in a week or two. We'll see how it ages lol

Nah you're projecting some feelings there. Thats a you issue not a me issue.

What I actually am saying is accessibility options are fine. But thats not what's happening here. They are cutting content that is hard in favor of content that is easy. The people that dont want to like... play the game... are getting features added. The people that love the game so much they want to play it again on the hardest possible settings are getting features taken away.

As we've seen in pro wrestling chasing the people that dont even like your shit iver satisfying the ones that love it is a recipie for a bad product.

The tik-tok-ification of society just keeps on rolling. Enjoy your 2x cut scenes and not having to play the game I guess.

I'm prepping for the part of this story where the Giants have to trade a 2 to get JJ away from Minnesota.

That was literally my first thought too. Jameis was so bad they're gonna over pay for JJ and still lose just as many games.

I knew with the slow mo and the angle of the bend and how long he stayed down it was unlikely to just be a sprain. I tore my ACL & meniscus and worked 8 more matches on it before having surgery. Walking off the filed and around the sideline didn't fool me.

My arthritic hands carry enough fucking weight as it is. Why do I have to earn it in a game?

Then save $80 and watch the story on YouTube? Im not sure what your argument is besides Im old make it easy. And that does not make for a good product.

I think my main frustration with it is they keep making changes to include people who dont want a challenge (skip all mini games, skip all levels; etc) but theyre taking features away from the people that enjoy the challenge.

There's no hard mode. There's no need to get good at a mini game to progress. You dont even have to level up. So what exactly is in it options wise for someone like me? The game is way easier (and therefore less fun) for me.

How far away are we from a no button press version of games? Just 30 hours of cut screens on a disc. There's a happy medium trying to include everyone. But seems like they dont want to focus on the core audience and would prefer to chase the casuals.

What's the worst case scenario for the first quarter? Down 30? Nope. Dart & Nabors done for the year (?). Absolute nightmare fuel.

It was nice feeling like the hot team for a week. Even in the most recent Super Bowl teams they were never really the hot team that consistently contends. Felt like thats what this was gonna be.

I hate football. Him walking on it doesnt mean anything. Its a tear.

Interested in opinions on the auto level up option Hamaguchi just revealed for Revelation. If you progress on the story and are underd leveled because you skipped grinding there will be an option to jump to your needed level.

I dont like it. Ive seen the general connsensus is we shouldn't be mad at the option. Just dont use it and let people who do want to, use it. And I get that. Like I like the streamlined progression cheats existing even if I didnt use them. And this isnt much different. But still makes it feel like beating the game carries no weight. Anyone can do it instead of the people that earned it.

No Puka.& no Miles. Aaron Donald is in. And Giants starting CB Deonte Banks is out. Id say theres a chance the Giants can win if they bleed the clock. The math is there for it to be possible. But still a stretch with an angry embarrassed McVey on the other sideline.

Tyrone Tracy should have been cut the day he missed the block and Dart got blasted in pre season. How does he still have a job??? Ugh.

Cowboys have a really good offense. The Giants have a really good defense. The teams are moving it but its more of a slugfest than current day NFL games usually are. It's like a 2010s Steelers vs Ravens game.

This Giants team feels way different. It's already like a grown up sophisticated team that can compete and Im used to no adult in the room energy out of this team. It's a full quarter in and I dont hate football yet. Already better than the last few years lol

This Chargers pick in the survival league is gonna one and done me isnt it.

That Kyler hit was rough. Instant fencing position like that one bad Tua one. His first pass was a horrible int. Not w the vikings are rolling on Carson Wentz power. Aka theyre fucked lol

The amount of new info out there for Revelation is border line ridiculous lol. But a few nuggets that caught my attention after all these hands on reviews. Some of these are a little spoiler-y but I wont talk about any story beats.

-Defussion materia will save so many materia slots. If you do a blue defussion with heal then everyone in the party now has the heal spells. Instead of having to figure out who gets that dope Fire & Ice or Lightning & Wind materia you only get one of, now you can extend it to everyone.

-Triple linked slots on armor. Want to expand on defussion? Put a difussion with a fire with a magnify. Now everyone has fire all spells. Now how crazy do they let us get? Can we do elemental fire to everyone? Can we do HP Up and MP up with diffussion or Enemy Skill and HP absorb with diffusion? Even just for a single character can I ldo HP absorb to fire to MP absorb? Game changer.

-Tons of non marked hidden content in the open world. There's still a lot of the checklist stuff but it seems they've added an equal amount of non marked content you just have to find.

I knew they were showing stuff today but wow they showed so much its a little overwhelming.

It's gonna get lost in the shuffle with all the other big reveals. But chocobos in combat is wild.

Essentially you trade an OL for DL here, trading away a 7 after getting the 7. Sounds like a potential good player down the road and Harbaugh is buying in early. But will his development taking a spot on the 53 man roster make sense? Guess we'll see.

TK said on the media call its scheduled to go 4 hours. That 6 hour window might include commercials for the UK airing.

You have Corbin & Big Cass return within a few weeks of each other and... you have Corbin be the one beating Trick for the US Title? Am I wrong in thinking Cass (who has been gone way longer and presented better and protected while away) would make way more sense to be the guy to dethrone Trick? Like there's a story you can tell there of Trick overcoming this monster to win the US Title back and come out further ahead. There is no further ahead losing to Corbin. You're nuking an important piece of the future for a dude with the stench of failure and bad booking.

Make it make sense.

Funny they mentioned Aldis being TNA champ but not NWA champion, at least on the graphics.

On the pre show they had both listed by name on the graphic. I was a bit surprised. Even with the TNA integration I figured they'd just do 3 time world champion

I'm quite down on what 2026 WWE is. But I'll be fair, this show had some things I liked.

The show had less downtime than usual. It felt like they were forced to dial it back because ESPN wants more matches and they don't want events running four hours. Liv & Iyo was great. I think Liv is pretty under rated. She's probably the best fitness / model turned wrestler. Far surpassing Trish now. Happy for Aldis to get his moment too. I couldn't help but root for the guy after seeing his CVV interview and knowing how much pressure he was under. The crowd reaction towards him makes me feel like I'm not alone.

But for the most part WWE events just seem like filler to me even when they're not.

The important matches always have run ins and ref bumps. Nothing wrong sprinkling that in here and there. But there aren't very many big top guy matches built to that have decisive endings. Bock & Oba had a decisive ending. It was fine but didn't use the cell enough to justify it. Brock's physique has changed drastically too. Still in excellent shape but man his arms have lost so much mass he wore elbow pads to hide it. I hope that's a decision Brock made for himself, and not an injury or illness.

WWE can create stars. They just over produce everything around them to the degree it just doesn't even feel like wrestling to me. This is SNL with a ring. It's glitzy and glossy. They have talented people. But those talented people have too strict of a playbook. I noticed how at ease every performer looked (outside of Aldis) and I think that's because WWE has taken all the thinking out of wrestling. It's just following directions now. Your producer lays the planned spots out. The producer tells the ref to tell you what to do during all the in-between spot times. Its just so... soulless in WWE. In my opinion at least. I'll keep watching the PPVs. But always on a second TV that isn't my main focus. I always feel burned if I give them my full attention.

Willow won the 2024 Owen. 

You fixed it for me thank you lol

A grand slam in baseball is 4 runs. A grand slam champion isnt someone who has held every belt. Its someone who's held 4 titles right?

Like WWE grand slam champs sometimes include us title, sometimes European title, tag titles, world titles. Grand Slam is winning 4, not all of them. Sheamus was a grand slam champ even tho he never held the IC in WWE.

Willow has held every AEW women's title. But there arent even 4 AEW womens titles. So the semantics on this drives me crazy.
