Probably would've done better if they hadn't charged such insane prices for them.
Especially FF7 rebirth lmao - a decades old game, made pretty, but still a decades old game -
ff7 rebirth 1.3x MORE EXPENSIVE than Baldurs Gate 3 at normal prices. Out of touch motherfuckers...
Genuinely was interested in getting ff7 until I saw the price tag, then immediately said nah fuck that and noped out for good

It's so vastly different from the original game. Not just in how it looks but also the story and gameplay. It is entirely new in almost every respect outside of the basic plot premise.
In a good or bad way? Not that I'm getting it till the price drops to a reasonable level
I think it's good. The changes to the plot are seemingly about an alternative timeline and the more the story deviates from the original, the more weird monsters show up to try and "keep things going the way they're supposed to." I only have the first one, though, so I'm left on a cliff hanger and can only guess what that stuff is really all about. :/
The changes to combat are alright. Like it's not blowing my mind but it's also not the same boring turn-based menu system. You move and fight real time and it feels a bit like a mixture of Dark Souls and Devil May Cry.
7 Remake is currently 50% off on Steam, which means it's about the price I would accept when not on sale. Square only needs to cut another 25% or so and they'll make a customer of me.
yarrr
